Kundalini Yoga, Cacao and Harmonising Sound Journey

We warmly invite you to gather in ceremony on the 17th December in Bristol, sharing an afternoon of sacred cacao, kundalini yoga and a long deep sound journey. 

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 is a passage to ground into yourself, connect with Spirit and realise yourself as a being of Love.

Guided by Annabelle Stapleton-Crittenden and Kyle Medford-Hawkins

SOUND JOURNEY

A deep meditative journey in harmonising sound with Didgeridoo, Native American Flute, Drums, Crystal Bowls and Singing Bowls, Voice and Grounding Percussions. 

CACAO CEREMONY 

We will share a beautiful ceremonial brew of Cacao, a plant medicine that powerfully opens the heart and attunes us to our emotional and sensual body - bringing greater flow, release and balance, and heightening our intuitive connection to the sensing body.

The Cacao we will be communing with is lovingly grown in Tabasco, Mexico.

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 experience your infinite nature in the finite 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 greater 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.

ANNABELLE CHARANBANI

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, in tune with nature 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, harmonics, light language and authentic voice). 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 JRI (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'm soon returning to my home in Chiapas, Mexico where for the past few years I've been deepening in knowledge with native medicine practices and wild nature.
