It can be tough getting through the British Winter. By the end of February, energy reserves are often low and the immune system has taken a battering with coughs, colds and flu. Perhaps you are feeling the strain and lacking a bit of oomph and sparkle?
You are invited to join in this much needed uplifting Ayurveda workshop on enhancing “Ojas”. In Ayurveda Ojas means vigour. It is the vibrant, animating and energizing life force that nourishes and sustains all the tissues (dhatus) of the body. It is the vital essence responsible for the generation of heightened levels of physical and emotional health and wellbeing. Without it we feel lack-lustre, low on energy and our immune system can become depleted.
In this workshop we will harness the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with simple yet highly effective practices, to strengthen your immune system, soothe your nervous system, raise your spirits, and elevate your outlook on life. Come and taste delicious immune boosting herbal teas and tonics, gain knowledge of immune building essential oils, and the use of culinary herbs and spices to keep your digestive system strong. You will be able to sail through the rest of Winter, feeling robust, resilient and happy!

“Bathe deeply in the ocean of sound
Vibrating within you, now as always
Resonating softly, permeating the space of the heart”
Sutra 15, The Radiance Sutras, Lorin Roche
​
Come and take part in a journey through the chakras. You will be guided by Flo in a cacao ceremony, breathwork, meditation and a sound bath with the Gong, Crystal and Himalayan Singing bowls. As you bathe in the transcendent and ethereal soundwaves, rest and relax deeply and emerge feeling calm, nourished and renewed on all levels of being.
​
The Chakra Energy System is a highly organised system that operates in the Pranamaya Kosha, or energy body, that receives, transmits and allows life force to flow. The energy is distributed and circulated via the nadis (energy channels) to all organs and systems of the body, mind and heart. This is where the health of our energetic, emotional, mental, psychological and spiritual being is integrated, expressed and reflected.
We can think about the movement of energy like the movement of water through water ways. If those channels are blocked the water becomes stagnant and stuck, we are more likely to feel stressed out, pushed to the limit, and this can reflect in negative ways of feeling and thinking, with low energy and poor health. If they are open, the water is liberated and can flow freely, then we feel vitalised and vibrant, we feel good and our emotions are balanced, and energy levels abundant.
Each chakra is a sphere of information, with qualities and characteristics relating to specific aspects of our growth and developmental. One of the ways to access this information is through meditation and reflection. We can tune in and tap into the inherent wisdom within and connect to their positive attributes.
The healing effects of cacao and the application of soundwaves connect with the electro-magnetic forces of the body, for a profound therapeutic effect that soothes, calms, relaxes, and resets the nervous and energy system. Repair, healing and replenishment of the body can only take place when we are in a state of rest and relaxation.
It is the perfect antidote to stress, worry, lack of energy and sleep problems, all of which can diminish the levels of energy we experience.
The intention of this event is to relax, harmonise and balance our energy, increase vitality and feel a heightened sense of wellbeing.
What to expect:
-
We will begin with breathwork, to help release any stagnant energy, clear and settle the mind in preparation for the cacao ceremony, meditation and sound bath.
-
We will sip on ceremonial Cacao to facilitate the opening of the portal to the heart space, so we can access the deeper dimensions of healing potential. The heart is considered to be the bridge between the lower and higher chakras. Cacao is described as a superfood with over 40 antioxidants and minerals, which will nourish and increase the ojas (life force) of the body. It enables the heart to resonate in a more expansive way, that helps to increase the connection between all the chakras.
-
We will engage in a chakra meditation to get to know and tap into the positive qualities of each one.
-
Relax in a sound bath and bathe in the ethereal sounds of the crystal singing bowls and the deep earthy tones of the gong and Himalayan bowls.
What to bring

Wear comfortable clothing
-

About the Cacao Ceremony
Raw ceremonial cacao is used in the ceremony. It is raw chocolate made from cacao beans that are untampered and unadulterated. Known as “the food of the Gods”, it is used in ceremony in many indigenous cultures. It is considered to be a superfood containing over 40 anti-oxidants and minerals. Prepared with water, oat milk and maple syrup, it is suitable for vegans. Cacao is conducive to meditation, as it has heart-expanding qualities that help to connect to our intuition and to receive inner guidance.
Sound Bathing
Bathing in sound is an immersive experience that soothes and calms the mind on a deep level and is found to be valuable for releasing stress. Some people go on a sound journey and feel taken to a deep place of peace. Others experience physical sensations of tingling, release of blocked or stuck energy, or the release of physical tension and pain. The sounds can bring visions or can be a very visual experience, or help to connect to inner wisdom and the inner resourcefulness of intuition. The soundwaves can help clear the mind, for a sense of lightness of being that is full of ease and tranquility. Each person's experience can vary and is unique.
Coming together with cacao and sound healing helps our energy fields to harmonise and raise our vibration, through what is known as “resonant entrainment”, with calm, peace and happiness.
​
The other-worldly, ethereal notes of the crystal bowls have a wonderful way of transcending tension, that will lighten and uplift your mood, while the metal Himalayan singing bowls bring a grounding quality to keep us earthed and connected to the present moment.
​
This event is suitable for all experiences. Tea will be served at the end to gently ease you back ground you.
