Kundalini Yoga, Sacred Cacao and Harmonising Sound Journey - Winter Solstice

We warmly invite you to gather in ceremony on the 18th Dec, sharing an evening of sacred cacao, kundalini yoga and a deep sound immersion, in preparation for the Winter Solstice. 

Activating a state of self-healing and transformation, bringing flow to your life force energy, attuning to the vision and guidance of your soul, and harmonising and optimising your sacred body vessel.

This gathering is an invitation to prepare for the Winter Solstice, which takes place on the 21st Dec - a celebration of the shortest day and longest night of the year, marking the return of the Sun, of the Light. 

In togetherness, utilising sacred tools of movement, breath, sound and focus, we will nurture a releasing of what is ready to be shed, and celebrate the gifts that come to us from within in the deep darkness of our Winter, transmuting shadows by our inner light.

This is a passage of grace to connect with Spirit and realise yourself as a being of Love.

HARMONISING SOUND JOURNEY

A deep meditative journey in harmonising sound of Gongs, Crystal Bowls, Shamanic Drum, Light Language and Grounding Percussions. Facilitating an intimate softening into stillness, peace and radiant state of being.

CACAO CEREMONY 

The ceremony will involve a sacred cacao ceremony, where we drink a rich brew of the plant Cacao. A plant medicine that powerfully opens the heart and attunes us to our feeling body - restoring emotional balance, heightening the intuitive and sensory perception and freeing creative expression.

The Cacao we will be communing with comes from Guatemala, lovingly grown and shared by the guardians of the Tz´utujil Mayan tribe

KUNDALINI YOGA & MEDITATION

Kundalini yoga is a tantric practice for connecting with your soul, expanding in awareness, brightening your inner light and uncoiling toward your greater potential. It is a means by which to merge the experience of your infinite nature in the present moment.

We work with pranayama, asana, mantra, mudra and meditation to circulate life force energy, removing obstacles and healing energetic blocks in the body as it goes - blocks which may be memories or imprints from this lifetime or those inherited from ancestors.

Increasing both the sensitivity and resilience of the nervous system, we open up to a vaster range of perception and projection, in ways that may seem extraordinary. We can then listen with more clarity to the inner guidance of the soul and intentionally recode our bodies to be in alignment with our desires - amplifying what's already flowing well, and harmonising what's needed to support you in your life purpose.

We develop strength, flexibility and coordination, and improve the function of our organs and the balance of our nervous and endocrine systems. We nurture intuition, access states of deep meditation, stimulate powerful detoxification and much more. 

The classes are open to all ranges of experiences.

Guided with love by Lani Rocillo and Annabelle Stapleton-Crittenden

LANI ROCILLO

Lani Rocillo is a sound medicine practitioner, a musician and a community creator. The focus and intention of her offering is to open spaces of deep and heartfelt experiences through sound.

She creates harmonising sound immersion and plant spirit explorations, where we are led to be present and surrender to the living moment; states of being where we can touch the mystery of our own inner universe and resonate with our essence as Love. For it is in the presence with our breath that we awaken our natural capacity to self-heal, realise balanced health, compassionate purpose and creative potential.

Her practice is inspired by intuitive, heartfelt and embodied expression, which she weaves along-side guidance from ancient wisdom knowledge.

ANNABELLE STAPLETON-CRITTENDEN

My name is Annabelle Stapleton-Crittenden, blessed with the spiritual name Charanbani Kaur, which means 'lioness who sits at the feet of god, resounding as the sacred word'.

My path is devoted to the healing and creative arts, offering practices for people to connect with spirit and feel more empowered and alive, stronger and more sensitive, and in flow with their innate creativity and sensuality. These tools and techniques guide us to take responsibility for what we nurture into life through our intention and attention, and to recognise our whole life as an altar.

I've been practicing yoga since 2006, and sharing the tantric art of kundalini yoga and meditation since 2015. I offer this alongside sound medicine with instruments including gong, crystal bowls, drum and voice (such as mantra, overtone harmonics, light language and authentic voice activation). I guide participatory intuitive storytelling as a waking dream temple, and offer other creative practices and self-enquiry exercises for growth, clarity and integration.

It brings me joy to help create the conditions that allow you to feel more authentically you, to experience your infinite nature whilst connecting to your unique purpose and history, and to live in a way that feels meaningful, elevated and vibrant.

Alongside yoga and sound, my studies and training include the neurophysiology of complex PTSD and trauma sensitive yoga with the school of Bessel van der Kolk (author of 'The Body Keeps the Score'), channelled energy healing and a BA in Performing Arts from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I have a background as a practitioner and teacher in performance and theatre in the UK and Europe, and as an artist I've shared my work at the Tate Britain, the British Museum, the Serpentine Gallery, Somerset House, Edinburgh Festival, Latitude Festival and much more.

I currently live on a mountain in Mexico where I've been deepening in knowledge with native medicine practices and wild nature.
