New Year's Day Chanting Event with Gayatri
**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**

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.

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 :)

"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"

Online gentle Yoga, Qi gong and meditation for inner peace
Come and join me for some **energising Yoga, healing Qi gong and relaxing meditation** and connect with some lovely people. This is your “me” time to nourish your mind, body and spirit, release energy blockages holding you back, heal your body and lift your spirits ☺️
“I've been going to Sarah's Qi Gong class for nearly 3 years, and it is amazing. Many a time I start off the class feeling out of sorts and low and I come away feeling so peaceful and trusting that everything will be OK. Sarah is an amazing teacher and so welcoming and has a very strong healing energy about her, and the small group of women has formed a really nice bond. There is a varied mix of things we do in the class including energy medicine, yoga stretches, sometimes dance, meditation, chakras- the list goes on! I have health issues and it is a really good healing rest for my body. So glad I found it and Sarah- wouldn't miss it for the world.” Grace, Sheffield
I have been running this special class since lockdown and have a group of regular people who attend (which doesn’t show on RSVP). We have created a **beautiful high vibrational energy** in this class that is healing, nurturing and uplifting.
🌺 Yoga is known to help **release tension from the muscles** where we hold stress, this in turn releases tension from the mind. We will do spiritual yoga which is the traditional form of yoga. It’s gentle, slow, meditation in movement.
🌺 Qi gong is an ancient Chinese healing practice which is gentle yet powerful at calming the mind, **clearing energy blockages** and healing the body. We will do various movements each week such as techniques that help with digestion & adrenal glands to restore your energy that I will share intuitively where I feel guided.
🌺 Donna Eden energy exercises are a form of gentle movements that help boost the immune system and clear stuck energy which causes low mood and lack of motivation. We also do **chakra clearing** to help you to feel more emotionally balanced.
🌺 Meditation to help calm mind chatter and breathing exercises to calm the nervous system and lift the mood. I also guide you through a gratitude practice at the end that **helps you to manifest what you desire!**
**ENERGY EXCHANGE**\~ £6 only. Although this is a very uplifting healing class that is of high value, I keep the price low so that it’s accessible to everyone.
Book your space here: https://buytickets.at/sarahmonreal/676431 & you will receive the zoom link via email. Check your junk box just in case.
If you wish to do the class in your own time. Here’s the link to get your recording. It’s £5 and is 50 minutes long. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/sarahalvarez/496209
**What you need to bring**
If you have a yoga Matt that’s great, if not you can do the exercises on the floor. I recommend investing in a yoga Matt so you can do the floor movements comfortably. Amazon and EBay sell reasonably priced yoga matts from £10. Please also have a cushion nearby as you may need it for some movements.
\*\*By participating in this class you agree to take full responsibility for your health and even though this class is gentle, contacting your doctor if you have a medical condition which you are concerned about may affect your ability to participate. You are advised to listen to your body during the class & do what feels comfortable. You are welcome to sit during many of the qi gong moves, it will be just as powerful.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Testimonials from regular attendees
Sarah is always so welcoming, friendly and relaxed, creating a wonderful space for us to focus on ourselves. I love the blend of different practices where my body is gently stretched, my mind calmed and my spirit nourished. No matter how I feel beforehand I always feel relaxed and uplifted afterwards. I would highly recommend this to everyone! Susie, Kent
I’ve been doing Sarah’s class for a few years and find it very helpful. The moves are easy to do yet have a big impact. I always feel better afterwards. Jacquie, London

New Year Day Retreat: Open your Heart - Cacao + Fire Ceremonies, Gong Bath
***New Year Day Retreat: Open your Heart - Cacao + Fire Ceremonies, Heart Blessing, Meditation, Gong Bath***
This Sacred Day Retreat, as we transition into the New Year, is intended to help you Anchor more deeply in your Heart and open more to Love in 2025. Align with your Higher Self, your Divine I Am Presence and Open more to giving & receiving the Love that you truly Are. The more we anchor in the Truth of our Heart, the more we open up to a life of greater Joy, Ease, Love & Grace. Fully open your Heart to the Light of your Self, aided by Cacao & the Ceremonial Retreat Space, so that you may move into the New Year more anchored in your Heart Light, letting go of all energies that no longer serve you. This Retreat is also an opportunity to pause & reflect on the year passed, as one cycle ends, and to set Intentions for the new cycle of 2025. We are also blessed with the energy of the first full moon of 2026, supporting you to relase the old of 2025. Welcome a Bright, New 2026!
Take time out to fully nourish, restore and nurture yourself as the year ends and gently and consciously transition into a New Year full of fresh, infinite possibilities. You can accelerate your spiritual growth by intentional inner journeying at the cusp of the New Year. This will be a deeply healing, restoring & nourishing sacred Retreat, full of Peace, Love, Joy & Stillness. A safe space to feel, embrace yourself as you are, release the old & welcome the New in a sacred intimate community of Heart souls. There is also an option to attend only the Opening Cacao & Rose Ceremony with Gong Bath from 1145am-3pm (3 spots only).

Take a day out from your daily life, at this auspicious time on the cusp of the New Year, to restore the Sacred connection to your Higher Self. Relax, release the old, realign, reconnect & dive more deeper into the Peace, Love & Stillness within, welcoming 2026 with open arms. Journeying together in a Group in Sacred Ceremonial Space at this time provides a powerful Alchemical Chamber for Inner Growth & Transformation.
An intimate Retreat day, in a lovingly held safe sacred space, working with the Spirit of Cacao, to open your Heart. Cacao is a sacred ceremonial medicine used by the ancients in Southern and Central America for thousands of years, where it was seen as “a hotline to the Divine”. Cacao is a light and gentle plant medicine, but it can also work more deeply on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Also working with Rose as a gentle feminine plant spirit that opens your heart & connects you to your Divine Feminine energy, supporting you to find inner Sacred Union.
In sacred circle in our Cacao Ceremony, we will Journal + share our Intentions for 2026 & reflections on 2025, in the spirit of Unity, Equality and Community, all Hearts’ joining as One. We will have some gentle movement meditation to help release stuck energy & welcome in the New. Then, we will each have an opportunity to give and receive Unconditional Love in a sacred Group Heart Blessing and Meditation using recorded music to open the Heart & end with a mini Gong Bath.
After the Cacao Ceremony, we will share a Community Brunch (please bring healthy vegetarian/vegan food to share) and then enjoy some Sacred Rest to rebalance your nervous system. Working also with the power of Fire, as a sacred transmuter of lower energy in a purifying, cleansing & releasing Fire Ceremony. The Fire Ceremony will be supported with the power of the sacred Drum, Movement, sacred Sound & Energy Healing. Release the old of 2025 so you may open more to the Bright New of 2026!
We end the Retreat with a longer Gong Bath to align you with your Higher Self, and wash away any lower energies, and a Closing Circle + Grounding.
Magic happens in sacred ceremonial spaces. I would be honoured if you allowed me to guide you through this Retreat journey, back into the One Heart.

ABOUT ME
I Love nothing more than to enable people to become more aware of their Divine Heart Self and to remember the powerful creator that they are. We each have the power to manifest Infinite Possibilities and to live a life of Grace & Ease. To truly know ourselves is, I believe, the greatest gift we can offer to humanity. I am a Divine Channel and Love to create a space in which others can connect to their deeper Heart Self, beyond the mind. My passion for supporting others to remember their Divine Infinite Self takes me to teaching Meditation, Yoga, facilitating wellbeing Workshops, Ceremonies including with Cacao (raw chocolate to open the Heart), Retreats, Conscious Parties, Wellness Festivals & offering Private Wellbeing sessions with Intuitive Heart Wisdom Coaching, Reiki, Breathwork, Indian Head Massage, Yoga Therapy & Meditation Coaching.
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!" David, London

❄️☄️ Comet & 🌟 of Bethlehem Search With Telescope + Wine/Pub Fire After 🔥🔭
🌌Ever look up like I do and marvel with insatiable curiosity at both the beauty and wonder of the **universe?** That wild sobering thought that somewhere in the chaos of creation - the emergence of life - the universe became **conscious** enough to look back and ask the big questions; How it all started, our evolution and place in it, and where else in the cosmos other complex life might exist (almost every star you see at night has planets orbiting with up to **20 billion habitable exoplanets** easily in our galaxy alone!)? 🪐🌟🌟🌟
🌍Then RSVP to view the potential life harbouring moons of **Jupiter**, the 3I Atlas **interstella** **Comet** ☄️(estimated to be 8+ billion years old), the famous **Orion Nebula** where stars like our sun were born, the majestic rings of **Saturn**, the international space station, the Tau Ceti star system with **2 Earth like planets** orbiting in the habitable zone, remnants of **supernova** witnessed by our early ancestors plus a range of other fascinating celestial wonderments (comets, star systems, galaxies) over drinks and engaging chats and banter this Dec fully hosted by me - a passionate amateur astronomer and former global Journalist covering big picture stories including cutting edge science related ones.
🚀In between observing - we'll have **drinks and engaging chats** on all astronomy related topics for those inclined (space exploration, Fermi Paradox, Astrobiology, Cosmology, paleontology, SETI/Drake Equation, exoplanetology etc) as well as non space chatter and banter too. No doubt I'll hear the usual jokes we've all heard hundreds of times before! If those don't make you laugh, then my impersonation of Los Angeles ET will! 👽
**======= Joining Astronomers Group & Telescopes =======**
I'm able to take a limited number of people (please only RSVP if you can make it) to join my friendly informal relaxed London amateur astronomers' club that have been for over a decade with their regulars made up of up to about 150 people. As there will be people attending from this private Astronomers group as well as others from one of my other groups - the total attendees will be far higher than rsvps here and the public liability insurance only covers a max number of people - hence I need to impose strict limits on attendance.
Over the years we have enjoyed numerous social evenings of stargazing and thought provoking chatter with people of all ages and varying levels of astronomy knowledge - so complete beginners that are genuinely curious about the universe are very welcome. If you are just looking to meet generic randoms then there are others groups that will better cater for that. The world renowed **BBC Television Sky at Night** also attended our events pre covid and interviewed some of us for it's show that aired on BBC1 in Feb 2019. BBC **Radio London** (94.9 FM / digital) were there Aug 2023 to cover our meteor shower event broadcasting live to millions of Londoners for 3 hours
You don't need a telescope as you will be able to view through scopes belonging to me and other club members (as long as you behave responsibly and don't temper with expensive equipment). If you have your own telescope/binoculars feel free to bring along and I can help you setting it up if you're a newbie
**==== Food & Drinks With Seating From Warm Indoor Cafe ====**
Alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, cider only), hot drinks and food/snacks will be available to purchase from an indoor cafe at the observation point which Regent's park keep open exclusively for the astronomers group so please don't bring your own drinks
**==== ITINERARY =====**
We will meet outside Camden Station. After a short wait for anyone delayed, I will escort everyone to our observation point in the local park 15 minutes walk away and brief you in terms of what to expect, observing etiquette, tips, equipment handling and take any questions you have - weather general or astronomy/cosmology related.
**After Drinks:** Unless I have a very important 9AM Thursday deadline for a client presentation or something that I'm still gonna be writing 2 mins before start - most of us usually head our way back to Camden for another drink. If so - I will annouce the pub when we leave the park
**==== What Can You Expect To See (this time of year)? ====**
* Orion Nebula
* Jupiter and 4 moons
* Meteors
* Andromedia Galaxy
* Saturn, rings & moon
* Star clusters such as the Pleiades & Owl Cluster etc
* International Space station fly by
* Venus & Mercury
* Binary & tripple star systems (think planet *Tatooine in* Starwars!),
* Neptune
* Uranuus
* Mars
* Our moon
* A look towards the galactic centre where that supermassive £22b Labour black hole sits (Sagittarius A)

Tribalheart Ecstatic Dance
DANCING EVERY 1ST AND 3RD SATURDAYS OF THE MONTH <3
Tribalheart Ecstatic dance creates space for free-form movement in a chat free zone where you can dive deeply into the heart, reconnecting, expressing, dancing in and out, up and down, learning to let go of anything and everything that holds you back from yourSelf and inner freedom. Let the energy move you, let the spirit of the heart guide you. There is space to dance alone and no pressure to connect with anyone else, just be yourself and honour what you need in the moment.
This night is an inspiration and fusion of club culture, dancing yoga, active meditation, cardio fitness, Ecstatic trance dance (blindfolds available) and a sacred Nataraj. If you choose to connect, it is a chance to meet others without words from a place of movement, meditation, energy and soul; eyes and heart wide open.
###
We will start the evening with a welcoming warmup to relax the body and mind. Together we will set an intention for the evening inviting the heart to open and awaken within us thus creating sacred space for all. For those that wish to partake, we will enjoy and deepen our intention with a short Cacao ceremony. (The cacao is used to take us deeper into our body, awakening our senses, connecting us to heart energy and aiding a spring in our step) We also embark on some dynamic breathwork to fire us up for the evening.
\- Please leave at least 2 hours after eating a heavy meal if drinking cacao\.
-Please do not drink alcohol before the event as it is contraindicated with some of the breathwork techniques we practice
We inject passion into sourcing the music for our events and aim to deliver an eclectic mix of genres for your heart. From tribal to electronic and everything in between we aim to assist a natural flow peaking and resting to mirror the rhythm and energy of life. Prepare to shake, spin, whirl and twirl. The music becomes the facilitator during the wild ecstatic dance ending with moments of stillness into silence where we can rest and breathe together
Each DJ has their own sound and energy to be shared, making each night unique and different...

Contra dance with Big Scioty on Jan 3 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Gaye Fifer**
**Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown**
**Big Scioty Contra Dance**
**temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude.

**Yogasanas**
**Yogasanas are offered as a set of powerful postures to transform the body and the mind into a possibility for ultimate well-being. They are not taught merely for physical fitness and strength, but are a way of aligning the inner system to the celestial geometry, becoming in sync with the existence, thereby naturally achieving a state of health, joy and bliss.**
**"Your physical health, your psychological wellbeing, and your spiritual possibility depend on how well aligned you are with existence. Essentially, hatha yoga is towards establishing this alignment." - Sadhguru**
**Benefits of practicing Yogasanas regularly:**
* **Stabilization of the body, mind, and energy system**
* **Slows down the aging process**
* **Relief of chronic health conditions**
**Agility Level: Intermediate**
**For ages 14+**
**Open to everyone, no previous experience of yoga required**

WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
