Ignite & Bloom GONG BATH @the Wilds, Barking Riverside
[BOOK HERE](https://www.benita-yoga.com/gong-bath-at-the-boathouse-in-barking) spaces are limited !!!
Donโt predict anything that can happen in the gong bath, please bring an open mind with no expectations. This is an adventure. Just relax and drift off where the sound takes you ๐
What to expect in Gong Bath?
You simply submerge in the sounds, in the ocean of sounds. All you do is lie comfortably on a mat, close your eyes and slow your breath. Just like during the relaxation after our Yoga class. You prepare yourself to become the receiver of sound. In the place of stillness you become more open and aware of each sound that comes in. Then I create the soundtrackโฆ Your mind, body and soul is bathed with the tones of the Gongs and other instruments. The aim is to go into a deep state of relaxation, taking you to a space of neutrality, a space of bliss where the bodyโs natural healing process beginsโฆ Itโs all about opening the passage of energy flow throughout the body to make you healthy and happy.
When you awaken, you are ready to come back to the outer world, revived, calm and full of energy.
Whatโs behind this technology of sound vibrations?
Sound has been used in various cultures for thousands of years to move us from a place of imbalance to a place of balance. The sound vibrations, confirmed by scientific research help return your body to a natural state of harmony. Sound helps to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state. Our fluctuating brainwaves are synchronised with a stable frequency which the brain can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency it becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). We experience our brainwave balancing to clear the mind, release stress from the nervous system and allow us to feel a deeper inner sense of peace, balance and vitality.

Drum Circle Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
The Inner Critic Reset โ Meditation & Self-Compassion Circle, London
You're exhausted. And somehow, you still feel like you're not doing enough.
That's not a productivity problem. That's your inner critic, and it's running the show.
Most of us have a voice in our heads that keeps score. That reminds us of every mistake, every missed opportunity, every way we've fallen short. In a city like LONDON, where everyone looks like they're thriving, that voice can get very loud, very fast.
This group is for people who are done letting it win.
Over two hours, we slow down (genuinely slow down) and do something most of us rarely make time for, learn to be a little kinder to ourselves.
**What we do together:**
Each session combines guided meditation, practical self-compassion exercises, and space for genuine human connection. You'll leave with tools you can use in your daily life, and perhaps a few new faces you're glad you met.
**In this group you can expect to:**
Explore how your inner critic works โ and how to respond to it differently
* Experience guided meditations designed to calm the mind and build self-compassion
Learn practical, evidence-based exercises grounded in mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches
* Meet like-minded people in a warm, non-judgemental space
**Who is this for?**
Everyone is welcome, whether you've never meditated before or you've been practising for years. This group is especially for you if you recognise yourself in any of these:
\*You tend to be your own harshest critic
* You feel exhausted, stretched thin, or close to burnout
\*You find it easier to be kind to others than to yourself
* You want to meet genuine people in a meaningful setting โ not another networking event
Just click on attend and you'll get all details of the event on your email.
See you there!

LondonJamSessions x TAM MIC DROP (20 Second Chain) #35
I am proud to announce that we having our jam at the Temple Of Art & Music in Elephant & Castle!!
20 Second Chain:
A structured improvisation format where a musical โchainโ unfolds organically, with each player responding to and building on what came before.
Lineup (on stage together):
- 2 guitarists
- 1 bass
- 1 drummer
- 1โ2 singers
- 1 additional instrument (sax, trumpet, percussion, etc.)
How It Works:
1. All musicians on stage are assigned a number, which determines the playing order.
2. Playing order, a key (and available chords) is written on a whiteboard opposite the stage.
3. Number 1 begins alone with a simple idea for 20 seconds โ leave space for others to build.
4. Every 20 seconds, the next numbered musician joins one at a time, layering something that complements whatโs already happening.
5. Once everyone has entered and the full band is playing, the group improvises for 5 minutes, developing the groove โ complexity and solos can grow naturally.
6. No on-stage planning โ listen and respond in real time.
7. After the timer ends, the group rotates and a new chain begins.
The Temple Of Art and Music is a live music venue and bar in Elephant & Castle so I encourage anyone attending to bring friends as it will be great fun for them even if they are not playing.
The venue has a PA system, drum kit, mics and guitar/bass amps.
There is no guarantee that there will be cymbals or drum accessories with the drum kit at the venue. Drummers please being your own if you can.
Like all our other jams it will be a chance to jam with other musicians playing the music that you love in a gentle environment with no judgement and no pressure. This jam also uniquely gives the opportunity to play in front of a crowd!
Tickets are **ยฃ10 online** message us let us know what instrument you play and we will confirm if there is space and send you the Eventbrite link for the jam.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information about this jam and London Jam Sessions.
At London Jam Sessions we have an active community on WhatsApp where we all discuss the upcoming jams and future events. Everyone in the community is encouraged to ask questions and bring forward new ideas. Dm me and I can add you to our Whatsapp group.
Sonic Alchemy

Womenโs Circle - Bodytalk
Precious women,
Our body is our first home, our lifelong companion from the very beginning of life to the very end. And yet, how often do we pause to really listen to her? To understand the subtle signals she sends, the wisdom she carries, and the stories she holds?
**[Suggested contribution:](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/womens-circle-bodytalk-registration-1982808233803)**[ ยฃ25** Please save your space HERE](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/womens-circle-bodytalk-registration-1982808233803)
Please give what feels aligned with your circumstances.
Spaces are limited - advance booking recommended.
This circle\* is an invitation to reconnect with our body, to honour her, and explore the messages she whispers.
Through gentle, nourishing exercises, mindful movement, and guided reflection, we will tune into the rhythms of our nervous system, learn to perceive what our bodies are truly communicating, and rediscover the intelligence and guidance that lives within us.
**What to expect:**
โข Gentle nervous system calming exercises
โข Exploration of how your nervous system shapes your perception and experience
โข Reflection and sharing in a safe, supportive circle
โข Connection with like-minded sisterts who share the journey
Whether you are curious, seeking alignment, or longing for a deeper friendship with yourself, you are welcome exactly as you are. This is a sacred, judgment-free space where vulnerability is honoured, intuition is celebrated, and your bodyโs wisdom is acknowledged.
**Practical information:**
Dress comfortably. Journals welcome.
Mums with babes in arms (up to 6 months) are welcome.
Come home to yourself. Come, meet your body as your truest companion. Come soften, open, and listen - together.
I look forward to holding this space with you โจ
*\*These Womenโs Circle events are intentionally created for cisgender women.*
*If you have any questions about the space, youโre very welcome to reach out.*
*\*\*It is at the centre of my heart to make these spaces available to all women; hence, the event is donation-based, with a suggested contribution of ยฃ25 to help cover the costs. If you're able to contribute, please consider the suggested donation amount. However, please know your presence is most valuable. Additionally, if you're in a position to support another Sister's participation, I encourage you to pay it forward. Your kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone else's experience. Thank you for your support and generosity. Together, we can create a space where all sisters feel welcomed and supported.*

The Story So Far: A WiA Reflection Circle
A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange
At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter.
This is the follow-up.
Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered โ and honestly explore whatโs actually happening now.
Together, weโll explore:
โข What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in
โข Whatโs surprised you, supported you, or shifted
โข What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know
If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote โ your word, your artifact, your intention. Weโll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. Youโll start where we all started: with whatโs true right now.
Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, youโre warmly invited to bring it back.
The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate.
What to Expect
โข A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup)
โข Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak
โข Reflection, listening, and lived experience โ not advice-giving
โข Optional creative reflection alongside conversation
โข A calm, supportive environment
Who This Is For
Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change โ especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords.
Good to Know
โข No preparation required
โข If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - itโs optional but invited
โข Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome
โข Creative activities are optional
Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the โwarrior philosopherโ (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critiqueโwhether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., โconscriptโ capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butlerโs life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusaderโand asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
