Astrology and Embodiment with Lauren
22nd February 5-7pm

Spirituality is an experience, a feeling, a knowing almost impossible to articulate. It’s something many of us aspire to attain and something most of us would struggle to put into language.
In Astrology we look to the signs, planets and placements of Pisces, Neptune, the 12th House and other key signifiers. Astrology is a framework that gives us language to speak the indescribable feeling of that which calls from beyond.
But, simply knowing the language is not enough, to truly know spirituality we must feel it for ourselves in our own bodies.
Come and join this grounded afternoon of somatic and astrological exploration into the depths of spiritual consciousness.
Find your access point through guidance from the heavenly planet bodies and this earth body of you.
Are you ready to connect to deeper dimensions of Self and Universe?
What you can expect:
-Receive a 15 minute 1-1 with Lauren to understand how the placements of spiritual consciousness articulate themself in your chart.
-Join the group for an embodied Flow State movement practice designed to connect you with your innate and embodied spiritual consciousness.
-Explore the wisdom teachings of Astrology and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
-Connect with and learn from a circle of others on their own journey of spiritual consciousness.
-Leave with a potent sense of your own spiritual consciousness; and how you can work with your body and the planet bodies above to find this connection in daily practice. -

Flow and Restore
A Traditional Chinese Medicine Journey Through Qi Gong, Self-Massage & Rest.
Qi - ( pronounced chee) is our energy, it's a subtle, vital force that flows through all living beings not visible but felt through vitality, emotion and presence.
When our Qi is balanced and moving freely, we can feel healthy, vibrant, and at ease. When its flow becomes disrupted, this may show up as fatigue, tension, or a sense of imbalance within the body.
Everything we do thinking, moving, healing, feeling requires energy. Yet it is not only about how much energy we have, but how smoothly it flows. Qi Gong is a somatic movement practice that invites us to cultivate awareness of this inner flow of energy and strengthen the connection between body and mind, helping us feel more alive, grounded, and balanced.
Combining the flowing movements of Qi Gong, breathwork, the grounding and energising techniques of self-massage focusing on acupressure points and the deep replenishment of intentional rest through Yin Yoga and Nidra, this workshop will support your nervous system and reconnect you with your body's wisdom.
Guided by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we begin with a dynamic, seasonally inspired Qi Gong practice, tuning into the energetic qualities of the current time of year. We will explore specific acupressure points to support balance and vitality, before moving into spacious stillness through Yin Yoga and Nidra, allowing time for integration and restoration.
My approach to teaching Qi Gong is shaped by my love of music and my Shake the Dust training. Each session is held within a carefully curated soundscape. Music helps us drop into the body and move with our own natural rhythm of energy. As we flow, the soundscape gently guides our tempo, openness, and expression, allowing the practice to feel fluid, embodied, and creative.
