Sound Gong Bath
Aug
14

Sound Gong Bath

A Sound / Gong Bath is a vibrational healing sensation that helps still the mind and soothe the soul. It can be an unforgettable experience for those who seek deep relaxation, rejuvenation and an acceleration of their inward journey. Time is suspended as you enter a world of vibration, sensation and experiences. Physical injuries may be healed, and old emotional traumas may be released. People may often find resolutions to emotional issues during this time.

This journey gives you the opportunity to explore yourself in a deeper level of consciousness. The healing vibrational sounds helps the physical and emotional states within the body to re-align and repair. This allows your body to find a natural calmness whilst allowing for space for insights and thoughts. You can feel truly, vibrantly alive. Once you’ve had your first Sound Bath you’ll want more.

Sound Therapy is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation, but it also has a way of moving through energy blockages in the body. The journey has been known to help ease many conditions such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, sleep disorders, MS, pain and autism. The sound healing vibrations help to release stress, allowing the whole body to enter into a deep relaxation of harmony and joyfulness.

Everything on Earth is made up from sound vibrations and each person is believed to have their own vibrational footprint. During a sound bath the aim is to help relax your body and mind so that you can experience the sound waves washing over you.

Most of the instruments are played from one place, however, occasionally they may be brought around the room and played over your body.

Please wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket and cushion to be warm and comfortable. Most people lie down during a Sound Bath, whereas some choose to sit in a comfortable chair.

No prior experience, effort or practice is required to participate. All welcome, However, please note sound therapy is not recommended for people with pacemakers or pregnant ladies in their 1st trimester. If you have any illnesses or aliments and are unsure if this experience will be suitable for you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

“Into The Dream” An Introduction to Lucid Dreaming
Oct

“Into The Dream” An Introduction to Lucid Dreaming

Into the Dream: An Introduction to Lucid Dreaming

We spend a third of our lives asleep, and yet most of us meet that world only unconsciously or in fragments. Lucid dreaming can change this by bringing more awareness into the dreaming state itself.

Lucid dreaming is the experience of becoming aware that you are dreaming whilst in the dream. Not recalling a dream afterwards, but waking up inside it, with full consciousness, while it is still happening. It is one of the most remarkable states the human mind can access. And it is something you can learn.

In this immersive half-day retreat, Giorgia Bettili, clinical hypnotherapist and dream coach, will lead you into the world of conscious dreaming. Using hypnosis as the doorway, you will discover how your dreaming mind works, experience a guided hypnotic journey into the dream state, and leave with simple, practical tools to begin your own practice from that very night.

No experience of hypnosis or lucid dreaming is needed, just bring an open and curious mind.

What to expect:

— A warm welcome and opening to settle into the space
— An introduction to the dreaming mind and how lucid dreaming works
— A guided hypnosis journey into the conscious dream state
— Practical techniques: dream journalling, reality checks and sleep intention-setting
— A personal dream plan to take home and begin that night
— Space to reflect, share and ask questions

What to bring:

Your yoga mat and a blanket for extra comfort during the hypnosis sessions.
A pillow or cushion if you like to feel fully supported lying down or sitting.
A notebook and pen.
Comfortable clothes.
And most importantly, an open mind and a curiosity about your own subconscious world.

About Giorgia:

Giorgia is a certified clinical hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner with over a decade of Buddhist meditation practice, including extended periods in retreat centres across Europe. Her path into conscious dreaming grew out of a deep fascination with sleep, consciousness and the inner life, and she has trained with leading figures in the lucid dreaming world including Charlie Morley, Robert Waggoner and Dr Clare Johnson. She is the founder of Lucid Mind Hypnotherapy, specialising in sleep and the dreaming mind.

Between Ethics and Essence - Exploring the Spiritual Closet in  Therapeutic Practice. 

An In-person CPD Workshop for qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists 

Many therapists hold spiritual beliefs, practices, sensitivities, or lived experiences that deeply inform who they are- yet feel unsure, hesitant, or even unsafe bringing this part of themselves into their professional identity.

You might worry about being judged, misunderstood, seen as “less professional”, or crossing ethical lines.

You may find yourself separating parts of yourself, editing your language, or wondering where the boundary is between ethical therapeutic practice and authentic self-expression.

This workshop is an invitation to explore that tender space with honesty, care, curiosity, and professional grounding.

Sunday 11th October 2026

2pm to 6pm 

£77 (20% off Early Bird before 24th August)

No singing experience or ability is needed to join, just an open mind, and heart to hear with compassionate curiosity. 

Sami has trained in sound healing with the voice, with Angela Milbourn, collaborative vocal improvisation and circle song techniques with mentor Ruana Xerri-West, song leadership with Susie Ro Prater; and further song forms and styles with Anna Bariyani (Curawaka), Peia and Mary McLoughlin. She also writes circle songs, and is currently working on collaborative recordings.

Activating Kundalini Through Pranayama & Ceremonial Cacao

Activating Kundalini Through Pranayama & Ceremonial Cacao

Activating Kundalini Through Pranayama & Ceremonial Cacao

A Journey Into the Heart, Breath & Inner Power

Join us for an evening of connection, healing, and self-discovery as we explore the transformative power of conscious breath and ceremonial cacao.

In the busyness of daily life, we rarely pause to truly connect with ourselves. This gathering offers a sacred opportunity to slow down, disconnect from external distractions, and awaken the energy that already exists within.

Why Pranayama?

Pranayama, the ancient yogic science of breath control, has profound effects on the nervous system. Through conscious breathing practices, we can:

• Calm the stress response and regulate the nervous system

• Reduce anxiety and mental overwhelm

• Improve focus, clarity, and emotional resilience

• Increase energy and vitality

• Create balance between body, mind, and spirit

• Prepare the body for deeper meditation and inner awareness

The Magic of Ceremonial Cacao

Known as the “Food of the Gods,” ceremonial cacao has been used for centuries in sacred rituals and heart-opening ceremonies.

Cacao gently supports:

• Emotional healing and self-reflection

• Enhanced feelings of connection and compassion

• Increased creativity and intuition

Sound Gong Bath
Jul

Sound Gong Bath

Sound Therapy is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation, but it also has a way of moving through energy blockages in the body. The journey has been known to help ease many conditions such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, sleep disorders, MS, pain and autism. The sound healing vibrations help to release stress, allowing the whole body to enter into a deep relaxation of harmony and joyfulness.

Everything on Earth is made up from sound vibrations and each person is believed to have their own vibrational footprint. During a sound bath the aim is to help relax your body and mind so that you can experience the sound waves washing over you.

Most of the instruments are played from one place, however, occasionally they may be brought around the room and played over your body.

Please wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket and cushion to be warm and comfortable. Most people lie down during a Sound Bath, whereas some choose to sit in a comfortable chair.

No prior experience, effort or practice is required to participate. All welcome, However, please note sound therapy is not recommended for people with pacemakers or pregnant ladies in their 1st trimester. If you have any illnesses or aliments and are unsure if this experience will be suitable for you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Mindfulness Meditation & More

Mindfulness with David

I am delighted to be offering another mindfulness and meditation gathering focusing on "The Ordinary in Everyday Health'.  Throughout my life I have only noticed my own health when I experience disease, physical and emotional pain.  Now in my twilight years, I tend to notice my peers' health in ordinary conversation, again focusing on their diseases and pain.  I am often tempted to join in those conversations, with at least a 'me too'.

But what if we can notice our health free from disease or pain.  What if we can experience life through a lens of health and well-being, even when we know that we are suffering from intrusions from without and intrusions from within?

With a background in psychiatric nursing, social work and family therapy, I offer astrology services here at the Elephant Rooms, and I am happy to offer facilitation of the weekly peer support group and co-facilitation of the monthly neurodivergent support group.

I look forward to sharing time together with you.

A Sacred Circle with Hapeh: Reset for the Next Half

🌿 RESET FOR THE NEXT HALF 🌿

A Sacred Circle with Hapeh

“The problem of humanity is in the on/off reset button.

But together, we remember how to reset.”

Join us for an intimate ceremony inspired by a vision of luminous forest beings reminding us of the power of the reset button — the sacred pause where we realign, release, reconnect, and begin again.

As we move into the second half of the year, this circle invites you to gently reset your mind, body, emotions, and spirit through the sacred medicine of Hapeh, meditation, breath, reflection, and collective intention.

✨ THEME

Resetting the inner system

Releasing what no longer serves

Reconnecting with clarity, purpose & heart

Calling in a new timeline for the next half of the year

🌿 ABOUT HAPEH

Hapeh is a sacred Amazonian plant medicine traditionally used by Indigenous tribes for grounding, energetic cleansing, mental clarity, emotional release, and spiritual connection. Offered with prayer and intention, it supports deep presence, alignment, and inner reset.

✨ What to bring:

• Journal

• Water bottle

• An open heart

🌿 Spaces limited

Exchange £37
