Join me in circle, held in the beautiful warm space of Lila Yoga, while we tend to the nerves.

Settling into the quiet hold of darkness in the depth of these winter months and much of nature seems to takes rest around us.
Autumn’s show of golden light and leaves and rich red berries faded and gone to ground now, to compost and nourish and renew from the earth. Precious daylight hours dwindling, the bright white rays of winter sun on your skin a precious commodity not to be missed, a reminder of the fire, the warmth of summer.
This time of year naturally calls us into a slower pace of living. It calls us to tend to our selves, our homes, our family, our close communities. It calls us to inward journeying, introspection, to compost our own leaves and berries, the fruits of our spring and summer growth so we can also rest, nourish and renew from our roots. It calls us into deep rest and restoration, of body and mind.

We will sit together in circle, settling in with some breathwork and journalling while sipping a bespoke blend of herbs to soothe, ground, regulate, and nourish the nervous system.
We will learn about the function of the nervous system, how it responds to stress, and how to guide it into a relaxed state with herbs and lifestyle practices. We will focus on the herbs in our tea blend, discussing their energetics, medicinal properties, and the best times and ways to put them to use.
There will be space for sharing and questions throughout.
Then, we will settle into a guided drumming journey, drawing our energy and conciousness inward and down through the body into our roots. Exploring how we feel in these spaces, how we feel in a state of rest, and seeking guidance and healing for our own journeys into nervous system release and deep rest.

…

These circles are open to all. Everyone is welcome and all sit in equality in these spaces, as community. Each one is held and heard in turn.

You need not have any experience of herbal medicine or shamanic journeying to join.

A yoga mat, bolster, and blanket will be provided for you but please bring anything else you may need to be comfortable for the evening.

Exchange is £65 for each circle / £180 for the winter series of 3.
