Morning Self Love Meditations w/ Grace Kinghton

Well, hello! I'm Grace and I am a meditation guide + yoga embodiment teacher. I absolutely adore teaching yoga + meditation but believe that the best inner work we do is off the mat and the meditation cushion. I'm all about connection, community + ceremony + love anything which brings us all together to celebrate the divine within each of us.

This morning meditation workshop is all about getting those gorgeous self-love juices flowing. We will join together for a couple of guided meditations; taking you right into the heart of your being. We will take a little time to listen to our heart's desires through journaling, before opening up the floor to share.

Paul & Mark are twin brothers and have been performing with the gongs for over five years and have a healing programme to complement their practice. This practice has been developed through the healing arts and esoteric teachings from Eastern and Western traditions. Their primary influences are European mysticism as well as shamanic practices from around the world.

As a duet, they play together with a number of symphonic and tuned gongs, the virtue of two performers playing the gongs allows for a binaural experience, that extends one's consciousness that much further. Together to create a layered soundscape experience for you to deeply relax and meditate into. They also complement the gongs with other instruments such as singing bowls and the flute

Return of the Bardic Way w/ Luke The Northern Poet

Return of the bardic way is a 2 hours workshop that invites and encourages people to use poetry and song as a way to reconnect back to the land. A way to remember their roots and go deeper into our forgotten pagan ways.

The workshop will involve me sharing poetry and stories that have come to me on my journey. will also encourage others to write a poem using certain words that i choose in the moment.

"I am a wandering poet from the rugged lands of Britain. For many a moon I have wandered the ancient sites scattered across the globe. Seeking the wisdom and magic hidden within our long lost pagan cultures. But it wasn't until I returned to the misty isles that I was truly able to stand in my purpose. For it was here that I remembered that nothing is ever truly lost and with dedication, belief and presence all that has been forgotten remains. I have heard the songs whispered in the whirling winds.

I have bathed in the healing waters of the icy springs."

Kirtan w/ Sivani Mata Francis

Sivani Mata is a student of bhakti yoga, and shares Kirtan. Kirtan is a deep dive into the heart through co-created song. It is a conversation with that inner place in each one of us that is ever unified with everything in creation. Each Kirtan repeats simple mantras which invoke a trance-like state within, as well as evoking the spirit of Bhakti: the mood of love. Everyone in this space is invited to add their voice, and in doing so contribute their special spice to flavour the collective soup we brew together. All are invited to be at home here to express the truth of themselves, through these songs of freedom.

Mens Circle 'Purpose & Mission' w/ Eliot Michael

Eliot completed his initiation with the ManKind Project in 2018 and has since facilitated MKP initiations at Embercombe. He co-runs the Men's Space at Buddhafield Festival and also facilitates regular men's circles in London.

This 2 hour workshop will offer a held space to meet each other as men, sharing from the heart and connecting with what is true for us. We will have the opportunity to look closely at our values: within ourselves, the men around us, and the world around us. By knowing what we stand for, and the world we wish to live in, we can then align ourselves with our purpose. Each man will leave the workshop with a mission statement to take forward with them into the world.

Lecture: The Shadows of Mainstream Psychedelics w/ Martha Allit Psychedelic Society

We are in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance. However, the hype around these exciting new medicines has led to a discrepancy of information Psychedelics can be unpredictable and the romanticisation of these compounds, - without harm-reduction or risk awareness - brings grave dangers. We need to question the authenticity of those holding psychedelic space, or distributing these compounds. Are they driven by desire to manifest positive change? Or are they fueling their ego, or profiteering from the growing margins of the psychedelic industry?

This talk will expose the dark underbelly of potential outcomes from our ongoing psychedelic movement, from the monopolisation and domination over psychedelics within the capitalist framework, through to the exploitation of ecological resources which threaten the very existence of plants that give us the compounds.

Lecture: Deep Ecology - A Council of All Beings w/ Lawrence Toye

What opens between us when we are held and heard as we give voice to our shared feelings for the state of the world?

What could shift in our relationship to other beings of creation if they were given a voice to share their views on Humanity?

Join this interactive, experiential process which weaves the philosophy of Deep Ecology into a held ritualistic space.

The presence of all is welcome, from those who are familiar with this process to those who are totally unacquainted with it.

Lawrence has guided and participated in multiple Deep Ecology group immersions, in Australia and the UK. Through his coaching and facilitation Lawrence advocates for healthy expression, acceptance and integration of deep emotional states.
