MOVE | DREAM | WRITE WORKSHOP - Access your Unconscious Mind

  • NINTH LIFE PUB CATFORD 167 Rushey Green, London SE6 4BD LONDON United Kingdom (map)

Join us during Samhain/All Hallows Day, marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of the darker half of the year. It is said that during this time the veil between two worlds of the living and the dead is at its thinnest. We can be more open to receiving the wisdom of our ancestors through the unconscious mind, this is a perfect opportunity to allow yourself the time to listen to and process the guidance your intuition receives from them.

MOVE

Over the past 2 years, Moving has become my Medicine, showing me on days when I feel absolutely stuck how that mirrors in my body through shortness of breath and contractive, repetitive thoughts and on days when I feel great this mirrors in my body with smooth long easy breaths and expansive, light and creative thoughts..

Knowing that we can affect our bodies and minds through breathing and moving is such a POWERFUL tool that's in your hands. It's also the way I start most days as I know with increased awareness that even if I don't want to when I begin - I won't want to stop when I finish as movement feels so good. Any movement that works for you!

Which is why we're starting this workshop with Movement; Claire will be begin by weaving us a sound journey with the gong, singing bowls, shamanic drum and more to take you out of your thinking mind and into a meditative state where you can allow what’s needing to come up for you in the moment.

We then flow through a 5 Rhythms style of unstructured free movements to shake off stale energy and become more present in our bodies.


DREAM

We then ground and anchor all that energy down by coming onto the floor to rest, relax and dream in Yoga Nidra. This is a deeply healing practice that returns awareness home to the body through a gently guided visualisation around the body.

Nidra is a Sanskrit word meaning sleep, and Yoga Nidra is often called “the yoga of sleep” because it is a form of guided meditation that uses relaxation and a system of organized and layered awareness to take you through a journey into a liminal state between waking and dreaming consciousness. It is here, in this liminal state, that you discover that your mind, body, and spirit together contain a pathway that leads to the gates of perfect presence, wholeness, and Oneness. Leaves you feeling rejuvenating and restorative.

WRITE

Much like Stream of Conscious writing from the iconic Artists Way; which is done as soon as u wake up. We will write 2-3 pages of uncensored, free association writing from the contents of your mind straight after waking from Nidra.

I do provide a couple of writing prompts to help with this process, as often the words can stop flowing or we start to analyse what we write. Which is not part of the plan! The whole process does wonders for helping to unblock the creative self and creates a bridge between conscious and subconscious minds.

*This 2-hour workshop will get you out of your head and into your body and allow you to access your higher mind and subconscious minds where all healing and integration happens, and deeper wisdom lives.

WHAT TO BRING?

A notebook or journal, a pen, a blanket or shawl, a lavender eye pillow or eye mask, a bottle of water and a smile!

Also as we will be lying down for 30 minutes for the Yoga Nidra part of the workshop, it's ideal for you to bring anything that helps you relax and settle the body so that the mind can also relax and settle, ie a favourite essential oil, a little cushion for the back of your head, extra pair of socks etc.
