We welcome you to join us 8am on the Sunday for 75mins of active bioenergetic meditation and Sanskrit mantra songs and prayers. Start the day by stepping out of the mind and into the body and heart field, ready to receive the rest of the day’s workshops with a present open heart. This ancient practice is used in many cultures across the world, to raise the body’s vibration and bring energetic blocks to the surface in order to release and restore balance.
Maria will be sharing this sacred daily practice that she has been doing for 12 years.
Please wear comfortable clothes that will support your body whilst shaking (so tight support for loose parts of the body as you would wear for a yoga, dance or gym session), a towel for excess sweating and a bottle of water. You may wish to bring a hair band to tie your hair back so it does not interfere with your focus. At the end we welcome you to close the session with us with a chosen group song on the day, you are welcome to bring percussive instruments for this as well as your singing voices and dancing feet.
