And for something a little different……Clearing and alien removal on the go here at the farm where weeds have taken over beautiful aloes, acacia trees, figs and more…🌱🌱

Gathering our voices together in sacred song connects our shared humanity. Sometimes, there are no words to explain the inexplicable; sometimes, it’s the sharing in our voices together that dissolves the grief, the sadness, the sorrow, and pain. It breathes life into this very meaning of being human, allowing us to share beyond words, straight through to the heart and from the heart.

This offering is for everyone, regardless of what you’re carrying. For those moving through sadness, grief, loss, and anxiety, as well as those experiencing joy and celebration, joining together in this shared humanity reminds us that we can hold it all together – both, the grief and the joy.

This offering is somewhat of an integration of the ancient and sacred practices I have immersed in for over a decade now. I bring this to you with a large dose of vulnerability and a grateful heart! I haven’t taught a class in a very long while. So, if you feel called to join me in my vulnerability, do join💚

Here is a little blurb….

The body as we know it, is more than muscle and bone.

It’s a sounding board for our life force energy—vibrating, feeling, breathing, and being.

Yogic anatomy teaches us about the five koshas—layers of being:

🌿 physical body
💨 Energetic body
🌀 Mental body
🌙 Inner Wisdom
☁️ Bliss - Spacious Awareness

In this class, we will explore these layers using gentle tools:

Mindful movement
Breath practices + Bhramari
Sounding , Mantra + vocal toning
Meditation
Short sound meditation & deep rest

Every part of you is invited. No experience necessary 💚

Through a sacred sound journey and the quiet depths of Yoga Nidra, we journey the 5 Koshas — the layers of our being — from the physical to the innermost sanctuary of silence and spacious awareness.

In yogic anatomy, the five Koshas are the layers of our being — like veils that surround the true self.

They are:

Annamaya – the physical body, made of food and earth

Pranamaya – the energy body, animated by breath and life force energy / prana

Manomaya – the mental body, home to thoughts and emotions

Vijnanamaya – the wisdom body, seat of intuition and inner knowing

Anandamaya – the body of deep peace, beyond all the layers, spacious awareness

Through practices like Yoga Nidra and sound healing, we gently move through these layers, returning to the still center within.

Let sound carry you. Let rest reveal you. 🌙🎶

A gentle invitation to gather, move, breathe, and sing—together.

Through simple chants and soulful songs, we’ll awaken the voice, soothe the nervous system, and nourish connection.

When we sing in community, we tone the vagus nerve, release stress, and return to our natural state of calm and joy.

No need to be a ‘singer’—your voice is welcome, just as it is. You are welcome, just as you are.

Come as you are🎶💚

PS. Drop a note here of your favourite sacred songs and chants if you’d like🎶

This happened in a very special space this past Saturday with beautiful humans.

Thank you for showing up amidst it all and for nudging me back onto my feet again - the set up looked different than usual, but that is part of life - we learn to adapt and adjust🎶

It was a true joy!

I am also in love with this gorgeous and unique rug from .collectables 🌹

As we grieve and feel overwhelmed by the ongoings of life at this time, both collective and individual, there are also those parts of life that we can appreciate too.

I came across this piece by Rumi today and it reminded me that we can, amidst it all, hold space for both by honouring the grief and sadness as well as celebrating the joys.

‘Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground’.

— Rumi
