**31st December 2025 - 2nd January 2026** By donation This new year, bring your heart into one-ness for a Held in Prayer ceremony to bless 2026! Held in Prayer ceremonies are profound opportunities for Way-Showers, Space-Holders, Frequency-Keepers, Light and Earth Workers to recharge their path-gifts. When we hold each other in prayer we create a state of oneness and activate the miracle body of humanity, meaning that all healing, dreaming and visions that happen during the prayer are more powerful. By starting the year held in prayer, we bless ourselves, the earth and the new cycle with miracle energy. You can pray however you want to pray and for the new year we encourage you to hold the celebration so the prayer is joyful. The prayer ceremony to bless 2026 includes: Opening Ceremony Chamber of Light Welcome your Path Potential For the Year Soul Star Community Heart Activation With the Rainbow Grandmothers The 13 Archetypes of the Beehive Sacred Temple Space Community Time Closing Ceremony This ceremony is by donation; you can donate whatever is right in your heart after the ceremony. This ceremony will last 48 hours. Please note that for the ceremony to run we need all prayer slots filled. You can book more than one prayer slot and invite people - especially those in other time zones. If we don’t fill the slots then we will have to do a shorter ceremony - which may affect the number of transmission ceremonies that can be done. **More about Held in Prayer** Those called will be following the ancient practice of holding each other in prayer. This is a non-religious prayer, it is an ancient temple tradition of holding each other in loving thoughts. Holding each other in prayer is how we come into oneness… it creates amazingly soft protective and beautiful energy around those who share the ceremony. Being in the state of oneness allows for each person to open up beyond their limitations - into the miracle field! When held in this ceremony - the medicine of the human-KIND - heart - means healing goes deeper and manifesting is super-charged. WE ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF HUMANITY THIS IS OUR RAINBOW PRAYER May you be held May you be loved May you be beloved ones May you live in the peace of the One-Heart May you melt into the limitlessness of yourself May you know the dance of the starlings And live the immunity of unity May you remember the way of miracles As your heart sings open Within the one-song May your prayer be in two-way flow As we cover each other in infinite blessings May the kindness of your hearts Meet in the temple of ones-ness May you be gentle May you be free Maybe you return to Innocence As you reclaim the Temple Ways May your prayer be your AWAKENING For all Because we are all One May you be held May you be loved May you be in JOY May you be blessed Beloved ones Testimonials from Held in Prayer Ceremony Prayer Keepers: *“A truly precious experience, a weekend of grace, connecting with loving humans from around the world to hold prayer for the highest good. A simple practice and easy to integrate into your day. The guidance from Kahreela and her guides is so sacred and truly divine.* *Everyone who is here desires to be involved in this vigil and that is what makes the energy so potent and so easily felt.* *If you desire to be in ceremony with yourself and with others, yet have the space to fully integrate your experience in your own way and over time, while you are held in prayer by this honourable collective then this is certainly something to try and cherish”.* Hannah *“Being held in prayer was an amazing experience. The whole time I felt so safe, so loved & really supported by the other participants. I loved holding prayer too, it was a magical sacred time for me, I felt so honoured to be able to hold prayer in this way for others. The whole experience was beautiful. I'm feeling so calm & relaxed after it all. Thank you“* Caitriona *“For me, being held in prayer and taking my turn to hold others in prayer, awakened this wonderful feeling of energetic community, safety, love and security. Plus a renewed sense of responsibility and need for my own part, my prayers and my open heart. I felt that together we were able to cross a threshold and be of service in a new and vibrant way and that our individuality, dedication and service was essential and valuable to the whole.* *Coming into prayer at this time is important, being part of something bigger than myself was healing, clearing and restorative and is certainly something I would choose at this extremely isolating, fearful and lonely time.* *Can't wait to be held in prayer again.”* Gina WE ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF HUMANITY, THIS IS OUR RAINBOW PRAYER Lots of Love and Blessings, Kahreela xxx REGISTER HERE: [https://www.starlight-temple.com/event-details/held-in-prayer-bless-the-new-year-2](https://www.starlight-temple.com/event-details/held-in-prayer-bless-the-new-year-2)

TESTIMONIALS (of previous Workshops, Retreats & Ceremonies) "The Equinox Retreat was such a beautiful day of sharing, connecting, learning and embracing the seasonal changes. I am so happy I was able to attend and be a part of such a magical day. The environment was so cosy, inspiring and welcoming. Fouzia provides a beautiful safe space for us all to just come and be. She has so much love in her heart, and such gentle guidance. I truly recommend attending one of her events or meeting with her in a one to one session if you haven't already. It was a really amazing day that helped me learn more and set my intentions for what I want in my life. I'm really looking forward to more of Fouzia's events and also the next retreat in November♥ " Jenny, London "The cacao ceremony allowed me to really focus on my intention which was the wish to thrive in my life. The atmosphere was very open, warm and supportive. I gained real clarity about how I wanted my life to look. Since then magical things have happened in my life (landed a dream job, travel, better health) and I feel I can really thank Fouzia for expertly holding the space for deep inner reflection, focus and the consequential manifestation of my wish not just to survive but to thrive." Annie, London "Before the Cacao Ceremony, I had only been to two of your events (The Healing Garden Wellness Festival and a Yoga workshop) but each time I feel such a nurturing and held experience, and that is completely with thanks to your kind and healing energy and the lessons of the heart you so willingly and carefully share. Thank you for being such a giving teacher and reminding me to connect to the heart, over and over as many times as I need. The space you hold is an anchor in itself and helps to steady me for whatever the ocean may bring." Fiona, London A beautiful Cacao Ceremony - a beautiful evening, with beautiful souls...I floated home! "WOW!!!! What an experience!!! Sooo amazing....I felt "drunk" on heart centered love. And my sleep was soooo deep, I felt "drunk" on life - an inside experience - truly amazing! Fouzia Javaid facilitated the evening with love, heart and grace. Very, very tasty Cacao, the best I have EVER tasted! " Caroline, London “I really love the sessions you do, they are the most powerful I have ever experienced.” Arabella, London "Joining Fouzia's sessions are always blissful, beautiful gatherings, amazing vibration, feeling peace, love and a deep sense of relief. Thank you." "I attended Fouzia's cacao ceremony last week, wow!! I had such an amazing experience as I always do at Fouzia's workshops/events. She is a beautiful soul full of love and wisdom and everything she does is from a heart-centered perspective and you can really feel this during the workshops whether it's a cacao ceremony, ecstatic dance or a chakra yoga and meditation workshop. You will be made to feel so welcome and loved and will leave feeling a whole lot lighter, happier, balanced and grounded. She is an inspiration to all and you will reap many benefits from attending any of her events." Louis, London “Fouzia is a gifted teacher of meditation and the living embodiment of its benefits. She radiates calm and compassion... and is an inspiration to anyone seeking self-improvement or simply the means to find stillness in our hectic modern world." Paul, London "I highly recommend Fouzia's classes for anyone wishing to go deeper on their path and leave calm and relaxed, where the feelings stay with you for a good few days after class. You will leave with a deep sense of peace as well as grounded, something much needed in hectic London life. Thank you." Tasha, London “Fouzia is a fantastic teacher, very patient and attentive. Her classes are very gentle but incredibly powerful with a focus on the spiritual side of yoga that is often sadly neglected in the west. I feel like I've had an amazing healing after her classes. Highly recommended!” Suzanne, London "A beautiful loving experience as always...Fouzia radiates so much love and such warmth and guidance." Jenny, London "I have never met someone as warm, loving, understanding, patient and welcoming as Fouzia. She holds space like no other and I feel this is part of why I felt safe enough to release so much where I have not previously. I highly recommend all of her events, they are all always amazing and I always enjoy them more than most others. The Quantum Shift Party is my favourite event of the year in London! I do indeed feel like I had a deep quantum shift at her last cacao ceremony!"

Practise yoga while the cute puppies roam acround you… A typical puppy yoga class will have approximately 8-10 puppies with around 15 participants and the puppies can range from 8-14 weeks old. Puppy yoga classes involve having puppies roaming from one mat to the next, leaping on participants, and tussling with other puppies as you try out different yoga poses. Often pups are incorporated into some of the yoga poses or they happily roam free throughout class. All puppies are borrowed from a local breeder and we find the breeders from websites such as Kennel Club or Pets4Homes. On some occasions, Puppy Yoga gives the puppies an opportunity to be adopted, if they haven’t already found their forever home. The puppies get the chance to be around other people (not just their breeder) which enhances their socialisation. In the first 3 months of a puppies life it is very important to expose your puppies to different people, new environments, sounds and smells. Puppy yoga is a safe and fun space that aids with our puppies socialisation. Interactions with animals, especially puppies, has been proven to be extremely beneficial to our mental wellbeing. The hormone oxytocin is released, in both dogs and people, when puppies interact with someone they like. This provides stress relieving physiological benefits. Find your inner, peaceful, playful child in our Puppy Yoga Classes BarePaws Yoga

Puppy yoga is a safe and fun space that aids with our puppies socialisation. When you cuddle a puppy, it has psychological benefits, increasing the happy hormones: oxytocin and serotonin to the brain and lowering cortisol levels (the negative hormone) similar to when you embrace a new-born baby for the first time. This in turn with the yoga, will leave you feeling physically , mentally and emotional balanced and fulfillled. For health and safety reasons an Adult must attend and supervise the child. One adult per two children tickets purchased. Tickets non-refundable but can be redeemed against any future puppy yoga event with BarePaws Yoga Ltd.

**Welcome the New Year 2026 Together** Begin the year in a clear and grounded way through Sanskrit chants, rainbow songs, shamanic chants, and voicework. This New Year’s Day gathering offers a simple and steady space to arrive, reset, and align with the energy of the year ahead. Mantras are traditional Sanskrit sound formulas used in meditation. Their vibration helps calm the mind, regulate the nervous system, and bring the body into a state of balance. Chanting in a group strengthens this effect, creating a shared field of stability, clarity, and gentle uplift. **The Energy of 2026** 2026 carries a theme of integration, rebuilding, and clearer direction. Many describe it as a year for grounding new intentions, strengthening foundations, and choosing alignment over distraction. Beginning the year with sound and intention can support focus, coherence, and inner steadiness as the year opens. **What to Expect** The venue is a short 5-minute walk from Elephant & Castle and Borough stations. We open and close with guided meditation. After the opening meditation, each person is invited to set an intention or dedication for the practice. These are released with a shared AUM. Each chant is followed by a short period of silence, giving the body and mind time to absorb the sound. We end with a closing meditation to settle the energy and anchor the tone for the year ahead. **A wonderful way to start 2026** **Love Gayatri** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Testimonials This was a delightful evening! Lindsey creates a beautiful, warm, and safe space to relax, connect, and express yourself. I highly recommend attending her classes Julia Hamon 22/01/2019 Gayatri’s sound and voicework are amazing gifts to this universe and I’ve been lucky to experience them on number of occasions. I was completely new to chanting but her approach is very relaxed and easygoing. I grew up believing I’m terrible at singing but as Gayatri says – “It’s not singing, it’s chanting…!” so just go along with it and enjoy the experience. Martin Nikolayev 20/12/2017 I feel very balanced and ready for the full moon. Calming, relaxing environment and the group energy was fantastic. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice Gayatri! See you next week :) Mohini Murti 10/4/2017 "God knows from now on what chanting will bring into my life or where will take me to, but for sure what I know is that the sound of the human voice and drums is something that really uplifts and connects me with my deepest and broadest self. It's a kind of a working paradox that happens to me during chanting: I feel a kind of moving stillness, that's very realigning and unifying. Thanks Gayatri Lindsey Jane Robertson! Light, Love, Peace" Sever Sava 13/11/17 https://a248.e.akamai.net/secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/8/a/2/event_456527266.jpeg https://a248.e.akamai.net/secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/b/b/5/600_445639381.jpeg
