Welcome all the way from Mozambique, the multi-talented Sumalgy Nero

As a musician and dancer Suma discovered sound and movement as safe tools for self-expression and deep interaction with other beings and dimensions.

And for you, he’s going to present more than a sound journey… but ‘a journey of sounds’, where the main resonating box will be your body!

“This will be a moment to stop the watch and allow the body to sense and track sounds in space and how it affects the whole. Listening to further and closer sounds, you’ll notice that only silence can make space for sound to be heard, just like the light that needs the dark to be seen.”

So prepare to ease into your wholebeing-ness and absorb the frequencies of african instruments, spiritualism and ancestral connection to discover your limitless inner worlds.

Angie Ramsay is pure and raw, and overflowing with joy!

‘Kundalini Yoga saved my life!’

She got into Kundalini Yoga after the ending of her 23 year relationship to heal depression, corporate burnout, and after experiencing a life threatening brain injury - so she’s incredibly passionate about sharing this practice to help people feel safe, and step into who they truly are with trust.

Angie believes Kundalini Yoga is a sophisticated ancient technology that’s highly applicable for the complex times we live in.

‘It’s a holistic and transformative practice that resets your nervous system and accelerates resilience, longevity and stress management, as well as enhances mental clarity, focus, creativity & problem solving.’

So come join this immersive experience, and lean in to the mystery of being alive, and feeling liberated on all levels.

“We were all born with an open, full, connected and continuous breath pattern, but the demands and circumstances of our lives have imposed limited breathing patterns into our body/mind system that reveal how we relate to ourselves, to others, and how we ultimately live our lives.”

In a quest for self discovery 20 years ago, Craig Taylor
had a spontaneous ‘Kundalini awakening experience’ that took him by surprise when he
discovered the sacred, transcendent Self with the words, ‘The breath is a medicine, the breath is your friend’. It took 7 more years before another powerful breathwork session inspired by Osho teachings, nudged him to share this knowledge with those in need of their own cleansing and Self allignment processes.

His Inspirational breathwork process differs slightly from other breath modalities in that a hands on facilitation approach is periodically used to access pressure points on the body, as well as specifically assigned affirmations for each point to support the process, including ‘toning’ of the divine sound.

So get ready for a multi-dimensional experience that’ll transform restricted breathing patterns, clear past mental and emotional patterns, reactivate your original baby’s breath pattern, and connect you to higher levels of consciousness. It’s going to be breathtaking!

Even though many of us spend hours in the gym or on a yoga mat, conditioning our bodies and minds, we seem to forget to exercise our face!

Did you know that despite popular belief, ageing isn’t gravity induced, but rather the result of bone and collagen loss. In addition, unpredictable events like stress impact our health, and show up on our faces – often not in the most flattering of ways!

Well, not for much longer, because practicing face yoga techniques will stimulate your skin naturally, by assisting lymphatic drainage, and removing toxic waste. Yip, for just 10-15 minutes a day, your new wrinkle antidote routine, will save you on medical bills and recovery time – better yet, it’ll actually reverse the clock, and you’ll regain your once youthful glow!

If you still think this is too good to be true, the. come try for yourself at our upcoming August with Mariamne Wulfn

Mariamne has been working as a holistic bodyworker, researcher, and teacher of the healing arts, namely, Somatic Movement Education, like The Feldenkrais Method® , and vibrational medicine, for over three decades. She has a Contemporary Dance BA Degree, including performance arts, choreography, yoga and pilates practices, and is the founder of Shamanessence Products & Services.
