FAQs

1. What is Beltane? Beltane is an ancient Celtic festival that celebrates the height of spring and the approach of summer. It is traditionally associated with fiery renewal, fertility, passion, and abundance. The festival honours the rhythms of nature and symbolizes a transition into growth and vitality, making it a perfect time for setting intentions and embracing positive energy.

2. What is Kundalini Activation? Kundalini Activation involves tapping into your life force energy, often symbolized as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine. Through this yin practice, this energy is awakened and aligned to flow freely through your body and it is your opportunity to surrender. During this session you can express and release in a multitude of different ways and the KA transmission can lead to profound transformation, clarity, and a heightened sense of self-awareness.

This is a gentle energy alignment session which meets you exactly where you need at that point in time. During KA you may experience some movement, emotions, visualisations, feelings of hot and cold to name a few.

3. What is Somatic Movement? Somatic Movement is a form of embodied practice that emphasizes connecting with your body’s innate wisdom. It involves gentle, intentional movements that release stress, break old patterns, and foster a deeper sense of physical and emotional well-being. It’s about tuning in and building awareness of the signals your body sends.

You might leave with a sense of clarity, purpose, and renewed energy for the season ahead.

5. What if I can't dance? No worries at all! This event is for everyone, regardless of their dancing experience.
