Gua Sha: Natural Healing for Stress and Pain

An interactive workshop on the healing art of Gua Sha - plus an amazing plant-based dinner is included in your ticket!

Gua Sha is a gentle and restorative practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. The term "Gua" translates to "to scrape," while "Sha" means "sand," reflecting the process of using a smooth-edged tool, often referred to as a scraping plate, to nurture and heal the body.

This natural therapy focuses on stimulating microcirculation in the soft tissues, enhancing blood flow, and releasing stagnation. The back of the body, in particular, plays a crucial role in our well-being, housing the Bladder Meridian and serving as a sanctuary for our internal organs. By practicing Gua Sha along the Bladder Meridian, we can support the health of these vital organs, promoting overall balance and vitality.

What to Expect in the Session:

Discover Gua Sha: Learn about this ancient healing technique and its benefits for both body and mind.
Learn how to do Gua Sha: There will be practical demonstrations of back Gua Sha techniques, empowering you to incorporate this healing practice into your self-care routine.
Afterwards, we’ll be served a wholesome and nourishing dinner & dessert!

Blindfold Yin Yoga: A Sensory Rest

Blindfold Yin: A Sensory Rest
We invite you to surrender to the stillness and to soften in the shadows. A Yin Yoga experience and plant-based dinner - all included in your ticket!

For this event, Yin Yoga with Namaste Nicola, has a unique and special twist; eye shades will be offered to students at the beginning of class to wear for their practice. By covering the eyes, we are able to relax and take a sensory rest.

We live in a world of distractions, our modern day lives hounded by junk light from small and big screens. The eyes, which take on around 80% of information, are tired and our nervous systems always overstimulated.

The practice aims to take the already introspective practice of Yin a little deeper. This is an opportunity for you to embrace the natural state of darkness, to begin an enhanced conversation with self, a reconnection with your physical body, energy and emotions.

Suitable for beginners to those who have experienced yin yoga, all the poses are either seated or lying down with a duration of 3 to 5 minutes and the transitions will be gently guided.

Feedback from students who have experience this class;

“It took away comparison, I couldn’t see anyone else, and for the first time I could truly concentrate on only myself”
“So calming, I felt an ease with my body I hadn’t felt before”
“With my eyes covered, I could hear more clearly, I loved the stories and poems read out, it felt nostalgic from being read to as a child”
Please know that the eye shade is an offering, you can use the covering as you wish and what you feel confident with, you can peak out between poses (in the 60 minute class there’ll be no more than 6) and then have the shade in place for the duration of time in the pose. Eye shade on, or off please choose your journey.

Afterwards, we’ll come together over a beautiful and nourishing plant-based dinner - all included in your ticket.

Masterclass: Energy Cycles and the Ancient Body Clock

We’re excited to be hosting Dr. Jinfeng as she shares her authentic knowledge on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Plus, there’s an amazing plant-based dinner - all included in your ticket price!

The human body, existing within the solar system, is influenced by
the sun and moon, which gives rise to the concept of a ‘biological
clock’.

According to Tradition Chinese Medicine, there is a body clock aligned with twelve organs in our body’s meridian system, each with a designated two-hour time period during which it functions optimally. This clock can serve as a useful guide for understanding our energy cycle and aligning our daily activities with the qualities of each organ or time. By
doing so, we can nurture our mind and body most optimally.

What to expect

Absorb ancient wisdom of the body clock & energy cycles
Learn to align your lifestyle so that you can optimise all activities for natural healing and health
A nourishing dinner & dessert afterwards

Calming Creations: Neurographic Art

Creativity, reflection, and connection. And an amazing plant-based dinner awaits you after your workshop.

We’ll explore neurographic art—a mindful drawing technique that helps process thoughts, emotions, and stress in a simple yet empowering way.

Developed in 2014 by Russian psychologist Pavel Piskarev, neurographic art is based on the idea that drawing free-flowing lines and rounding sharp edges can help rewire the brain’s response to stress.

This practice begins with scribbles—allowing frustrations, worries, or lingering thoughts to take shape on the page. From there, we soften and transform them into smooth, flowing lines and colourful bubbles—just as we can reshape our inner world with a little care and creativity.

Rasesvari will gently guide us through this process, making it easy to follow along, whether you're new to art or simply looking for a new way to unwind.

After our session, we'll share a nourishing plant-based dinner, all included in your ticket price. Good food in good company!

Come as you are—everything you need will be provided.

Wrap up the evening with a nourishing plant-based dinner, included in your ticket—a wonderful opportunity to ground, connect, and reflect on your experience.
