Step out of the dark and into the warmth and welcome of Satyam for this extended disco-inspired, yoga flow session with Hermione.
Let the soundtrack set the stage and raise your vibrations with joyful, embodied movement. Dress to express! Optional eco glitter available to accompany your journey into the grooves of this Friday night flow!
This Day Retreat will include yoga asana, pranayama, meditation, yoga nidra (deep conscious relaxation), chanting, reflection, contemplation, time for yourself and time for connection with others, if you so desire. There will also be a delicious shared vegan lunch.
In yogic tradition, Hridyakasha is the 'heart space'. This is an expansive space, connected to, but expanding beyond the organ of the physical heart. Tuning into the hridyakasha enables us to reach deeply into our emotional landscape. Within the heartspace resides a light, jyoti, which is a symbol of our true essence, our atman or soul.
Hridayakasha Dharana is a meditation technique of 'concentrating on the heartspace'. This powerful yet gentle practice guides us into the heartspace, allowing feelings and emotions to be acknowledged, witnessed, released and/or transformed.
Wintertime is a season of quietness and rest. The short days, the darkness, the coldness, enable us to lay low and hibernate and this is an opportunity to get close to what lies beneath the surface of our everyday being. With the arrival of the winter solstice, the days will now begin to grow lighter and longer, as the sun returns and we begin to move slowly towards the emergence of spring once again. This retreat will savour the darkness of winter by mostly moving slowly and gently, with moments of restorative stillness as we take our time to connect to hridayakasha, our inner light.
All welcome.

**LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING FUN, WHOLESOME & UPLIFTING FOR NEW YEAR'S
EVE??**
Paul and
Chiraswa are hosting a little new year's eve event at Satyam, just
from 7.30pm - 10.30pm, for a session that moves through a wave,
from yoga asana, into dance, then pranayama and conscious rest
(yoga nidra) and meditation, all set to a carefully curated
soundtrack of musical delights. A conscious way to bring 2024 to an
end, and have you in bed by midnight (or onto another
party...)
What Is the Red Tent?
The Red Tent is a sacred, nurturing space where women of all ages
come together to reconnect with their natural cycles and honour the
wisdom held within their bodies. Rooted in ancient traditions, it
is a space for rest, reflection, and nourishment, embracing the
cyclical essence of womanhood.
This gathering celebrates every stage of the menstrual journey, from menarche to menopause, whether through a physical womb or the energetic memory of one (etheric womb). Through rituals, sharing circles, and practical activities, we explore the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of our cycles, fostering inner nourishment and self-discovery.
Winter Energy and the Full Moon in Cancer
Winter invites us to rest, retreat, and align with our natural
rhythms. It is a season of stillness and reflection, often at odds
with the demands of the external world. The Full Moon in Cancer
amplifies this need for connection and self-care, nurturing us to
embrace our emotions and relationships.
This Red Tent gathering offers a sacred pause to honour the quiet power of winter, replenish our energy, and set the stage for a year filled with balance and intention.
Session Overview: Conversations with the Sacred Womb
This Red Tent gathering follows a three-part flow:
1. Creating Sacred Space
Ritual: We will begin by invoking the four directions and elements,
creating a universal “womb” space that is both sacred and
inclusive. This grounding ritual sets the tone,
aligning us with the nurturing energy of the womb. Theme
Introduction: Participants will reflect on the womb as the seat of
creation—whether physical or energetic—and
explore the wisdom and stories it holds.
2. Sacred Speech and Deep Listening
Sharing Circle: A guided conversation will invite participants to
connect with their wombs, sharing insights, emotions, or stories
that arise. Ritual: The Sacred Womb Ceremony will deepen this
connection with guided visualisation, a womb prayer, and a
gentle blessing ritual to awaken the sacred feminine within.
3. Healing Practices and Cyclical Activities
Flower Essence Creation: Participants will craft personalised
flower essences using Dr. Bach’s methods. Intuitive flower cards
will guide their choices, aligning with emotional and energetic
needs for the year ahead. Self-Care Recipe: A simple rose-based
cleanser recipe will be shared to inspire daily self-care rituals.
Breathwork and Affirmations: The session will conclude with Full
Moon Breathwork and guided affirmations focused on gratitude,
release, and manifestation.
All materials will be provided.
