🌿 RESET FOR THE NEXT HALF 🌿

A Sacred Circle with Hapeh

“The problem of humanity is in the on/off reset button.

But together, we remember how to reset.”

Join us for an intimate ceremony inspired by a vision of luminous forest beings reminding us of the power of the reset button — the sacred pause where we realign, release, reconnect, and begin again.

As we move into the second half of the year, this circle invites you to gently reset your mind, body, emotions, and spirit through the sacred medicine of Hapeh, meditation, breath, reflection, and collective intention.

✨ THEME

Resetting the inner system

Releasing what no longer serves

Reconnecting with clarity, purpose & heart

Calling in a new timeline for the next half of the year

🌿 ABOUT HAPEH

Hapeh is a sacred Amazonian plant medicine traditionally used by Indigenous tribes for grounding, energetic cleansing, mental clarity, emotional release, and spiritual connection. Offered with prayer and intention, it supports deep presence, alignment, and inner reset.

✨ What to bring:

• Journal

• Water bottle

• An open heart

🌿 Spaces limited

Exchange £37

Sound Therapy is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation, but it also has a way of moving through energy blockages in the body. The journey has been known to help ease many conditions such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, sleep disorders, MS, pain and autism. The sound healing vibrations help to release stress, allowing the whole body to enter into a deep relaxation of harmony and joyfulness.

Most of the instruments are played from one place, however, occasionally they may be brought around the room and played over your body.

Please wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket and cushion to be warm and comfortable. Most people lie down during a Sound Bath, whereas some choose to sit in a comfortable chair.

No prior experience, effort or practice is required to participate. All welcome, However, please note sound therapy is not recommended for people with pacemakers or pregnant ladies in their 1st trimester.

My next workshop will be a Yin Yoga session and will encourage us to focus inwards, providing an opportunity to go a little “deeper” and explore what it means to let go of effort and ego.
Letting go of effort is often seen as counter intuitive in our modern day society, in which we are encouraged to strive, push and be the best, leading to a competitive, stressed and burnt out state of being.
However there is another way, the Daoists call this the ‘Wu Wei” or the path of effortless action. It doesn’t mean not doing, but rather doing while we are in “flow”, at peace and not so attached to the results.
This can be quite difficult for the Western Culture to appreciate, it is however a way in which we could find more comfort and authenticity.
During the workshop we will explore the concept of Wu Wei (using the Tao Te Ching) considering how we can adopt some of its principles, with the aid of pranayama (breath work), meditation and Yin postures.
The Elephant rooms is a beautiful space with mats, bolsters and blankets, feel free to bring your own.
Investment: £25 available via the link.

WORKSHOP DETAILS

A voice workshop with a focus on overtone singing and developing the power of the singing voice. Ravi is known for his ability to convey both the technical aspects as well as the esoteric and healing components of overtone singing. Even for those who do not think of themselves as singers, these workshops give confidence in finding your natural and powerful voice. Those of you who are already singers will find greater depths and possibilities in your voice. Finding our natural sound, breathing from the diaphragm, creating the mouth shapes for overtone singing, expanded listening and finally, hearing our own overtones clearly. We shall also sing together as a choir and explore the self healing and healing effects of harmonics 

“Breath and the sound of the voice are existential imperatives, one cannot wish them away. They connect us directly with our divine souls”

OVERTONE SINGING

Overtone sounds resonate in harmony with nature from the smallest atom to the planets and galaxies. Tuning in to these vibrations using the voice and other instruments allows a deeper contact with the psyche and spirit. As you learn to produce overtones with the voice and listen to the sounds of the gongs, Tibetan bowls and tambura, a heightened sensitivity, awareness, peacefulness, cleansing, healing and deepened meditation emerge. This workshop is for people of all abilities. It is not necessary to be able to sing. In the workshop we will make contact with our natural power sound, free the body and breath and learn to produce a variety of overtone sounds…… two tones from the same voice

It was exactly what my soul was longing for and the beginning of a new chapter for my voice and how to bring this medicine forth for my healing and for the joy of many. Infinite gratitude.”   
– Melina 

“Ravi is a sound wizard who has an amazing ability to create a blissful experience, his music has got history and stories, and he can bring a group alive by creating a lively atmosphere and inviting all to sing through call and response. Time flies when immersed in the sounds and singing and this presence awakens one from the inside out. I highly recommend this experience to everyone”

ABOUT RAVI 

“Ravi is a rare talent – a musical shaman who knows no fear. He has been an inspiration to us over the years as he continues to cross borders and boundaries in his quest for musical expression and freedom” DEVA PREMAL & MITEN

Ravi is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and one of the longest established Western players of the kora (West African harp)

His music is the result of a lifetime exploring the edge, through world music, tribal cultures, throat singing and a journey that has taken him from India to the Amazon, Africa and beyond  

As well as over 20 CDs, international performances and workshops and the invention of the electric/stereo kora, Ravi has also worked with artists such as Nigel Kennedy, Jon Lord, Phil Manzanera, Baaba Maal, Dr John, Ronu Majumdar and Marlui Miranda. The most recent albums are “Songs for the Golden Age” and “Two Rivers” with master flautist Adrian Freedman 

WORKSHOPS

Ravi has led workshops and lectured at various Universities, schools and centres such as Colorado State University; Northfield College, Minneapolis and Garter Lane Arts Centre, Ireland, plus Brazil, Italy, Greece, Australia, UK and elsewhere around the world. 

During the retreat, Ravi will also share some of the stories and history behind different voice styles, instruments and their cultures, all from direct experience

A Sound / Gong Bath is a vibrational healing sensation that helps still the mind and soothe the soul. It can be an unforgettable experience for those who seek deep relaxation, rejuvenation and an acceleration of their inward journey. Time is suspended as you enter a world of vibration, sensation and experiences. Physical injuries may be healed, and old emotional traumas may be released. People may often find resolutions to emotional issues during this time.

This journey gives you the opportunity to explore yourself in a deeper level of consciousness. The healing vibrational sounds helps the physical and emotional states within the body to re-align and repair. This allows your body to find a natural calmness whilst allowing for space for insights and thoughts. You can feel truly, vibrantly alive. Once you’ve had your first Sound Bath you’ll want more.

Sound Therapy is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation, but it also has a way of moving through energy blockages in the body. The journey has been known to help ease many conditions such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, sleep disorders, MS, pain and autism. The sound healing vibrations help to release stress, allowing the whole body to enter into a deep relaxation of harmony and joyfulness.

Everything on Earth is made up from sound vibrations and each person is believed to have their own vibrational footprint. During a sound bath the aim is to help relax your body and mind so that you can experience the sound waves washing over you.

Most of the instruments are played from one place, however, occasionally they may be brought around the room and played over your body.

Please wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket and cushion to be warm and comfortable. Most people lie down during a Sound Bath, whereas some choose to sit in a comfortable chair.

All welcome, However, please note sound therapy is not recommended for people with pacemakers or pregnant ladies in their 1st trimester. If you have any illnesses or aliments and are unsure if this experience will be suitable for you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
