In this workshop we will make a show-stopping journal, using the traditional bookmaking pamphlet stitch technique to bind multiple signatures into a faux leather wrap around cover and create a decorative spine in the process. Using provided templates and specialist equipment, we’ll plan the stitching for a decorative pattern on the spine; cut and collate our fabric and paper signatures; then stitch them together to create a satisfyingly chunky book, ideal for sketching, collecting and travelling.

Collagraph is a traditional print technique that relies on building layers of texture that can hold ink to transfer your design from plate to paper. During this introductory session, Abbie will guide you through the process of layering textures and marks, and building tone, to create unique printing plates that will then be inked up and hand printed to create a range of original artworks.

We open the practice by grounding and feeling into our bodies. A gentle heart coherence breathing practice will help us to drop out of the head and connect as a group. Lying down in a supported Savasana you will be taken on a journey of sound with Himalayan and Crystal Singing bowls. 

We will take time at the end to ground ourselves again before leaving.

Do you crave deeper, more meaningful conversation - beyond small-talk? Feel disconnected or detached? Is something missing or do you need more from your relationships?

This workshop explores everything they didn’t teach you at school about how to communicate, relate to yourself and others, express emotion, and build healthy relationships.

This is a longer version of our weekly class - Reiki Infused Meditation. Enter a deep space of relaxation with our new Reiki Infused Meditation- Weekend Edition class with Lourdes. In this extended class, you will explore and learn further about the patterns that take you away from the inner peace and calm that are your true essence. As you are invited to connect deeply with yourself in a space infused with reiki and meditation, you will experience what  your inner health and wellbeing feels like, so you can be in this state as you go about your daily life.

This workshop will help you to make those shifts in your energy and open up some space in the body and mind ready for the Spring months. The workshop will be combination of a slow steady Hatha practice that will open you up with deep stretching into the closed areas of the body, followed by the benefits of a quietly relaxing in restorative yoga. 

Be prepared to find stillness, a quieter mind, and leave feeling calm yet uplifted and energised.

This workshop is designed to provide space to explore TRE®.  This body based practice safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking, or vibrating, that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system.  When this shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.  

An introduction to 5Rhythms® Waves with Ben Deutsch

Want to move more freely, more consciously, more joyfully? This evening workshop with accredited 5Rhythms® teacher Ben Deutsch will be a space to re-connect with our bodies and to offer ourselves the freedom we crave. Using some simple exercises, well chosen music, intuition, and a dash of humour, Ben will hold space for the group to move individually and together.

Through movement, we will explore qualities of fluidity, clarity, surrender, ease and presence.
