In Surrey, the Womens wellness circle- February invites women to Grayswood Village Hall to de-stress and nourish body and mind with sound baths, yoga, reflection, and somatic movement.

Breath, energy, and celebration take center stage in the remaining offerings across England and online. Participants in Brighton can explore expanded states of consciousness and release emotional tension during Playful Breathwork ~ Breathwork with Lottie, which includes guided breath-holds and time to ground with tea. Further west in Cornwall, the Kundalini Activation Event Newquay at Ananta Yoga Studio facilitates personal healing and spiritual awakening through a powerful transmission of raw kundalini energy. In Bristol, Ace Collectiv 3rd Birthday - Love, Tarot & Bass - Tarot & Dance, Ecstatic Dance, Live Medicine Music, Live Sound Bath & more welcomes dancers to the historic Mount Without venue for an evening of ecstatic dance, tarot, live medicine music, and cacao. Finally, the virtual realm hosts the Erotic Polarity Masterclass with Bibi Gratzer, an introductory tantra workshop designed to help couples and individuals expand intimacy, explore sacred sexuality, and clear energetic blocks.

Feedback across these events was overwhelmingly positive, with participants highlighting deep emotional impact, restoration, and enhanced connection. Attendees at Kundalini Yoga, Sacred Kakaw and Harmonising Sound Journey praised the facilitator for curating a versatile and powerful safe space where magic could unfold, while a participant at Friday Night Dance expressed deep gratitude for an uplifting experience that inspired them to shine brightly for others. Similarly, couples attending the Valentine’s Day Communication Playshop for Couples appreciated the fun and engaging atmosphere, noting that it fostered genuine intimacy and delivered practical take-home practices to continue strengthening their relationship.

The feedback for Deep Reset - Restore your Nervous system with Breathwork, Yoga and Gong bath emphasized its deeply nourishing nature, helping attendees overcome stress and burnout by promoting bodily reconnection and a tranquil, cocooned state through thoughtful yoga instruction and an otherworldly gong bath. Alongside this praise, attendees offered constructive suggestions focused primarily on timing, flow, and ambiance. Recommendations included lengthening the gong bath and individual disciplines, reducing spoken transitions to preserve the relaxed state, reconsidering the order of meditation, exploring advanced breathwork options, and keeping the lighting consistently dimmed throughout the gathering.

A vibrant selection of immersive experiences invites participants to engage in theatrical play, expressive movement, and emotional healing. Performers and creatives can contribute to an emergent, unrehearsed tarot masquerade through the CALL TO ARTISTS - DIVINE RIDICULOUS PRESENTS - THE MARCH HARE in Buckfastleigh, which requires no prior training and welcomes a wide variety of artistic mediums.
