We sit in circle and invoke the spirit of Mama Cacao (IxCacao) to support us on our journey of self-love. In this 90mins session, Lourdes will create a sacred space to facilitate your reconnection with your soul so you can integrate all the parts that make you YOU and love all of them. The direction is always towards wholeness, becoming whole and repairing any lesions that might have resulted in the fragmentation of your self.
The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing tool which many people find to be useful in supporting them to deepen their understanding of why they feel, behave and respond as they do, and also in deepening their empathy for others as they come to understand more of how others see the world.
The Enneagram taps into our core motivations as well as our deepest compulsions. It does not shy away from the more difficult elements of being human, but dives right in!
A sound bath is a guided experience using therapeutic instruments such as crystal bowls and chimes to immerse participants in calming sound frequencies that help the body and mind to relax. These soothing vibrations promote deep rest, reduce stress, and support mental clarity.
Georgie Buchanan brings a unique and powerful approach to sound baths by weaving in live harp and song alongside singing bowls and chimes. Participants often describe this as a deeply moving and restorative experience, enhancing their ability to fully relax and reset.
A warm, nurturing evening of sound and energy.
You’re warmly invited to a Sound Bath with Reiki at Sancta Bookshop Cafe, Otley, in their gorgeous yoga space.
