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...

MAKE A ROMAN BLIND
**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/make-a-roman-blind-93/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/make-a-roman-blind-93/)
⋆⋆⋆
Suitable for beginners. Enjoyable for everyone.
One-day workshop. 10am – 5pm.
Drawn to the look of fashionable roman blinds but not sure how to make them yourself? Then this one day workshop is for you.
From measuring the window to fixing it to the wall, experienced tutor, Ian McQueen will guide you through the tools and techniques for making bespoke and accurately fitting blinds for any room in your house.
During the day, you will master the art of producing a fabulous window treatment. You will make a sample blind using a 75cm x 1-metre drop piece of fabric. We keep our workshops very small for this discipline as you will need room to spread out when you are measuring and sewing so we aren’t able to make larger samples. You can take your professional handiwork home with pride.
You will learn what to buy when shopping for cords and rings and how to select a suitable fabric to bring perfection and privacy to your decor.
The Goodlife Centre has a varied selection of quality fabrics for you to use.

Women's Circle: Self Love & Inner Safety
Ticket is needed in order to attend this event:
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1982978717725?aff=oddtdtcreator
## Overview
Are you longing for deeper connections with other women who are on a path of self-discovery and growth? Join us for a women's circle!
Join us for a gentle and nurturing **Women’s Circle:** a sacred, heart-led space for women who want to go deeper. Every month, we gather to explore themes around **spirituality, feminine embodiment, self-discovery and personal growth**.
Each circle centers around a unique topic: from **feminine energy, intuition, boundaries**, and **embodiment** to **self-worth, healing** or **emotional expression** but the intention remains the same:
💗 To create a space for authentic connection, inner reflection, and collective wisdom
💗 To be seen, heard and held without judgment or pressure to be anything but yourself
🌙 **This Month’s Theme: Self-love and Inner Safety**
On Women’s Day, we gather not just to celebrate being women — but to deepen the relationship we have with ourselves.
Self-love is often spoken about as confidence, affirmations or self-care rituals. But beneath all of that lies something more essential: inner safety.
When we don’t feel safe within ourselves, we look for security in other people’s reassurance, approval or presence. We may overgive, overthink, or abandon our needs in order to feel connected.
In this circle, we’ll gently explore what it means to become your own secure base — to create stability, reassurance and emotional grounding from within.
We’ll reflect on:
* Where we still seek safety externally
* How self-abandonment shows up in subtle ways
* What inner security feels like in the body
* How to strengthen self-trust and emotional steadiness
Through meditation, journaling and conscious sharing, we’ll begin practicing a different way of relating to ourselves — one rooted in compassion rather than criticism, and steadiness rather than fear.
### ✨ What to Expect:
* A grounding **meditation & breathwork** to help you arrive in the moment
* A short **introduction to the theme** of the circle
* **Mindful exercises** to reflect, feel and reconnect
* A **safe, supportive sharing circle**
* A closing **visualisation, affirmation & oracle cards**
* Warm, soul-led connection with other women walking the path of self-discovery
* Optional social afterwards where you can continue connection with others
### 🌀 Why this Circle was Born:
“I created this circle because I craved **soulful, nourishing connection** with other women: spaces where we could go deeper than small talk and share from the heart. If you feel that same longing: for truth, presence, sisterhood, then this circle is for you.”
### 🌸 Why Women’s Circles Matter:
Female connection is not just emotionally enriching—it’s also *biologically essential*. Research shows that when women gather in safe, supportive spaces, they release **oxytocin**—the bonding hormone—which helps lower stress, build trust, and boost emotional resilience.
Strong female friendships and emotional expression are linked to:
* Reduced anxiety and depression
* Better heart and immune health
* A longer, more joyful life
In times of stress, women are wired for a “**tend-and-befriend**” response, **we heal in connection**.
📍 **WHERE:** Blackwell House, King's Square Community Centre
### 💫 What to Bring:
* An open heart
* A journal & pen
Let’s sit together, soften, and reconnect with our inner power—**not through doing, but through being.**

**About me:**
Aga is a **yoga teacher and transformational life coach** devoted to guiding others on the journey from overwhelm to inner peace. Her work supports those with busy, overthinking minds in **creating calm, clarity and confidence:** one breath, one choice, one breakthrough at a time.
With her North Node in Scorpio, Aga's soul mission is **all about transformation: letting go of control, trusting the unknown and living from deep inner truth rather than external expectations.** After leaving behind a structured corporate path, she committed to creating a life led by intuition, embodiment and spiritual growth. Her journey has taught her to embrace change, follow the soul’s whispers and live from a place of empowered surrender.
Through her women’s circles, Aroma Yoga sessions and coaching, Aga now holds space for others to do the same: to remember who they truly are, reconnect with their inner power, and create lives rooted in **freedom, authenticity and feminine wisdom.**

DIY IN A DAY – DRILLS
**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/diy-in-a-day-drills-341/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/diy-in-a-day-drills-341/)
**⋆⋆⋆**
Learn the basics at this fast-paced but relaxed one-day workshop.
A perfect starter for all those annoying jobs around the house that you feel you should be able to tackle…if only you knew how. We know it’s frustrating to wait for it to be done and then get charged for it and we understand it can be a bit daunting to head into a wall with a power drill.
Pick up the skills to hang curtains, blinds, and simple shelves on any wall. Learn to drill into wood, brick, tiles, or hollow walls with confidence. We will show you how to judge what is behind the walls before you drill.
An enjoyable ‘ hands-on’ one-day workshop that covers many of the common aspects of basic DIY. If you have just bought your home and have realized it didn’t include a landlord to fix stuff, or just don’t want to rely on someone else, this day is for you. There is plenty of time to practice on several exercises over the day.
The workshop also covers hanging pictures and heavier objects like mirrors, cupboards, and flat-screen TVs. You will learn how to hang a hook, fix a baton, and then a pair of level shelf brackets.
Finish off the day learning how to fit shelves into awkward alcoves – a handy skill you can use to fit work surfaces too. Learn how to select the correct drill bit, wall fixing, and screw to secure things confidently. The day will also include a chance to fill small and medium holes in wood and walls to prepare your surfaces for painting.
Along the way, we show you how to remove old wall fixings and what to do with the ones you can’t. This a fun fast day with plenty of tools to try and lots of advice on which tools to have in a basic toolkit. If you are thinking of upgrading your drill, you can test all of the ones we use and feel more knowledgeable about what you want to buy.
This course is especially suitable if you are not handy or if you are able, but not that confident, about tackling small but important tasks in your home. We will also suggest how to tell if a task is appropriate for DIY or GSI (Get Someone In).
You will take home a set of skills that will last a lifetime.
All tools and materials included. Perfect for beginners.

TRADITIONAL AND MODERN LAMPSHADE MAKING
**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/traditional-and-modern-lampshade-making-74/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/traditional-and-modern-lampshade-making-74/)
⋆⋆⋆
If you aspire to the luxury and elegance of lampshades that ooze class like a dowager, this is the workshop for you. Even if you have never stitched in your life, Ian McQueen’s relaxed and friendly style of tuition will have you wishing you had taken to the sewing needle years ago.
Ian is a City and Guilds trained craftsman who makes elegant traditionally built fine lampshades for interior designers and high-end shops. Some are sophisticated – lined with silk so light glows through, some are dramatic statements bejewelled with vintage adornments. All are hand stitched -not glued – so that they retain their shape and structure to give years of pleasure.
During a one-day workshop, you will select a wire frame and transform it into a bespoke home accessory for all to admire in your home. We use a 10-inch diameter Drum shade and a 12-inch diameter straight Empire frame.
You can select fabric from a few fabrics we have available but we recommend you bring along 1 metre of fabric to match your colour scheme. If you want to walk on the wild side, bring any fabric you want to give new life. Students have even transformed an old pair of jeans into a striking shade.
The process is fun but meticulous so there is sometimes only the time to complete the stitching on one lampshade in a day. This will depend on your speed. What you will take home is some of the historical skills used by milliners and upholders. (They were the stitchers who hung the tapestries on medieval walls.) As well as the know-how and route to suppliers you will learn how to make your own lampshades at home. The tutor can demonstrate how to make simple trims in the same fabric. No special machinery is required and only a little help from a simple sewing machine is available at the centre. It does not matter if you have never used a machine before.
Choices-
1. Make a firm drum lampshade. Using a supplied frame, you will learn how to stitch reinforced fabric onto a frame using a traditional stitch.
2. A pleated or unpleated lampshade. The lampshade fabric is stretched or folded directly onto a ‘Straight Empire’ frame. The lampshade can then be lined with a contrasting fabric.
The use of all tools and materials are included. We have additional assorted frames for sale, as well as a small range of vintage trimmings for you to make more lampshades at home.
Suitable for beginners. Enjoyable for all.

No relationship experience required — just show up ready to practice.
**What's in it for you?**
* Understand your relationship patterns and where they come from
* Communicate needs without blame or mind-reading expectations
* Set boundaries that stick (without becoming a wall)
* Navigate conflict without destroying connection
* Show up as a whole person, not half of one ✨
* Connect with others doing the same growth work
**How does it work?**
* Facilitated practice session (2 hours) with structured exercises ⏱
* Small group discussions (4-6 people)
* Pair work for hands-on practice
* Individual reflection moments
* Whole group sharing (optional, not required)
Everything is timed and guided — you'll know exactly what to do at each stage
**What to expect**
Collaborative discovery, without competitive learning. Practicing together, without performing for each other. What happens in the room stays in the room.
* **Depth**: Beyond small talk, but it's not therapy — we're developing relationship skills
* **Safety**: Wholesome Agreement principles apply — respect, curiosity, no judgment
* **Practical**: You'll leave with tools, not just concepts — things you can actually use the next day ️
* **Participation**: These are practice sessions — your active participation creates the learning environment
**Ready to upgrade your thinking skills?**
Join us for a Wholesome Relationships practice session and walk away with real tools for deeper connection — it's for anyone who wants to love better, communicate clearer, and show up more fully.
We really hope to see you there!

🌱 Woodland & Water Resonance: A Forest Therapy & Sound Bath Walk 🌊
**🪷 COST:** You must register with this link to attend- [Register Here!](https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/woodland-and-water-resonance-a-forest-therapy-and-sound-bath-walk)
**🌿 Description:**
Early March, by the water, carries a different kind of awakening — **softer, reflective, spacious.** 🌊
Nestled around a 350-acre reservoir, Beaverdam Park offers wooded paths, natural-surface trails, and peaceful lake views. Forest and water meet here, creating the perfect setting to slow down and listen.
✨ We’ll begin with a **gentle, guided forest therapy walk** through the trees, pausing along the way to notice the stillness of the reservoir and the subtle signs of early spring. After enjoying a snack & sipping foraged tisane/tea while sitting near the water, we’ll settle in for an **immersive outdoor sound bath**. 🎶
Singing bowls and resonant instruments will blend with the soft lapping of water, breeze through branches, and birdsong overhead. The lake amplifies and carries sound in a uniquely soothing way — supporting nervous system reset, emotional clarity, and deep restoration.
We’ll close with a silent walk back along the trail, taking in the serenity of forest and water.
🌿 **A morning of reflection, resonance, and renewal.**
**🥾 What we'll do:**
We will walk \~2 miles, depending on timing and the desires of the group. This is an out and back hike with minimal elevation gain or loss.
**👋🏼 Meeting point:**
Meet at 9:50am in the parking lot. We will start at 10am.
**🚙 Parking:**
Park by the National Recreation and Park Association building adjacent to Brambleton Community Park West. Google map location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qBEq9qVXnamC6H6E8
**🚻 Miscellaneous:**
We will have access to a bathroom along the way.
**🎒Preparation:**
* Water
* Layers of clothes based on the weather
* A snack if you would like
* Sturdy comfortable shoes
* Bug spray
* Sunblock & a hat
