Thursday
Morning and Evening Kirtan Chanting online with Nikki Slade
Thursday 8.00 - 9.00 am and 8.00 - 9.00pm
online through Zoom
​
This is an invitation to open your heart and connect to your vocal power through the yoga of sound. Kirtan (chanting) does for your insides what a yoga asana class does for your physical body. It is the perfect way to dissolve blockages and stress through the vibrations of the sound.
Kirtan is a universal practice that belongs to everyone and is as relevant today as it originally was centuries ago. We will chant together in call and response accompanied by harmonium and drum. The overall experience is like a meditation with voice. You don’t have to sing – your voice is the instrument for you to connect to your inner power. Most importantly expect to have fun! You will leave feeling free, energized, uplifted and joyful for the week ahead.
How does this work? The sessions will be happening every Thursday and Friday via the Zoom online platform.
Once you book, you will receive and email message from hanna@nikkislade.com or pa@freetheinnervoice.com with an invitation from these addresses (look in your spam folders!) with a link that you can simply click to open the zoom meeting directly from your computer, tablet or mobile device. No need to download any programmes or software. You will need to download the Zoom app only if you are connecting via mobile or tablet.

Saturdays
Online Writing for Self Discovery Workshop with Lucy Watt and Sarah Richings
June 17 10.00 - 12.15pm
online through Zoom
Do you enjoy getting to know yourself at a deeper level?
Are you interested in how the process of creative writing can help you access self-truths you may have buried or hidden from yourself?
- Would you welcome the chance to work in a small, supportive group with qualified counsellors as facilitators?
We are offering a series of online Writing for Self Discovery workshops. You don’t need to be experienced or skilled in creative writing to take part. You just need to be open to engaging with a process as it unfolds.
This workshop will involve writing creatively in response to different prompts given by the facilitators. This can help you experience how writing can be used to give you new perspectives and improve your well-being. Everyone has a unique voice and stories to tell. We encourage creative ways to express this in a safe and friendly environment.
Each workshop focuses on a different theme - for example journeys, time, childhood dreams.
The course will be facilitated by qualified and BACP registered counsellors, Sarah Richings and Lucy Watt.
Participants who have attended earlier workshops are welcome to attend. There will be different themes and exercises.
When you join the session, have a notebook and pen or pencil ready and ensure you are in a private space where you cannot be overheard.
