**EVENT OVERVIEW** Join us for an intimate Kundalini Activation session designed to awaken your life-force energy and reconnect you with your authentic self. Limited to just 6 participants, this 2-hour experience offers profound emotional release and spiritual transformation through gentle surrender - no yoga poses or breath-work required. **WHAT TO EXPECT - SESSION AGENDA** **12:00-12:15pm - Welcome & Introduction** * Meet fellow participants in our intimate group setting * Brief overview of the Kundalini Activation process **12:15-12:30pm - Body Scan Meditation** * Guided meditation to help you reconnect with your body * Entering a surrendered, receptive state **12:30-1:30pm - The Energy Activation Process** * Carefully curated music journey * Energy Transmissions and individual attention * Safe space for whatever wants to emerge naturally **1:30-2:00pm - Integration & Sharing Circle** * Tea and chocolate provided * Optional sharing of experiences * Connect with your new spiritual community **WHAT IS KUNDALINI ACTIVATION?** Unlike Kundalini Yoga that relies on physical postures and breath-work, this journey is one of complete surrender. The intelligent life-force energy naturally rises within you, awakening dormant parts of your being and fostering growth on emotional, mental and spiritual levels. This intuitively guided process works in harmony with your unique needs, gently releasing stored emotions and helping you rediscover your authentic self. **THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU, IF YOU:** ★Want to find your authentic self through awakening your Kundalini ★Have tried therapy or other modalities but feel they haven't touched the deepest parts of what you need to release ★Are seeking the truth within - who you are at the level of identity OR beyond the identity ★Value intimate, personal, exclusive spaces (max 6 people) over large groups ★Are ready for deep transformation, not just relaxation ★Want tough motherly love from Kali energy that will destroy everything that isn't true for you **WHY SMALL GROUPS MATTER** This journey touches the deepest parts of who you are. In our intimate 6-person setting, you can surrender fully to whatever wants to emerge - whether it's tears you've held back for years, anger you've suppressed, or joy you've forgotten how to feel. The smaller group creates a safer space for emotional vulnerability and deeper connections that larger groups simply can't offer. **LOCATION & PRACTICAL DETAILS** **📍 Romford, East London - Address received in email after ticket paid** 🚇 **Elizabeth Line (5 mins from Romford Station)** **⏰ Saturdays 12-2 PM** **🚗 Free on-site parking (all info in email after booking)** **INVESTMENT:** £55 per person **WHAT'S PROVIDED:** Yoga mats, blankets, and all equipment **WHAT TO BRING:** Just yourself and an open heart **SESSION TIMES:** Every Saturday 12-2pm and some Friday evenings 8-10pm **WEBSITE:** https://www.kundaliniuntamed.com/romford-sessions **HOW TO SECURE YOUR SPOT** **Do I need to purchase a ticket?** Yes!

This meeting is for anyone who wishes to explore non-duality and awakening. At the meeting, Richard will give an introductory talk followed by plenty of time for questions, answers and discussion. If you would like to know more about Richard's approach, you can watch videos on his YouTube channel, go to www.richardsylvester.com or read his books (see below). Seeing non-duality is the recognition that our most basic assumption about our life, that we are separate, is simply an appearance. We may seem to be the subject of our life, moving through a world of other people and objects. But actually there is no separation, there is no subject and object, there is only seamless oneness. When this is seen, there is often a radically changed view of reality. Seeking ends and at last relaxation can take place. Richard is the author of four books about non-duality, including the much-loved 'I Hope You Die Soon' and 'Non-Duality Questions, Non-Duality Answers'. His fifth book is 'Confessions Of A Seeker - Adventures in Spirituality, Therapy and Belief'. Richard has held regular meetings about non-duality in London since 2005. He has also held meetings in Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, The Czech Republic and Japan. PLEASE NOTE:- The meeting may be videoed and uploaded to YouTube. Your participation will be taken as consent to this. Please pay on the door - cash if possible. The meeting is held on the first floor and there are no lifts. Don’t be put off if there are only a small number of RSVP’s for this event. The meeting is also publicised in other ways and people often don't indicate on meetup that they are coming. There will be a friendly group of people ready to share discussion.

IN PERSON WORKSHOP - AN INTRODUCTION TO GARDENING THE BIODYNAMIC WAY WITH DR SUE PEAT AND DOUGLAS DAVIDSON **Biodynamics is an organic method of cultivation, arising out of Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual research. It works with the rhythms of the movements of the sun, moon, planets and stars to which the plants respond. The workshop will cover the background** **to the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It’s coming up to summer and so we will focus on sharing seasonal tips for sewing, growing and most importantly making good compost!** **For the last hour we’ll stir the horn manure preparation (known as 500), so bring an empty screw top bottle if you would like to take some home. A 500ml bottle is enough for an average garden. The workshop is suitable for those new to biodynamics and for anyone who would like to give their garden, window boxes, street trees or house plants a summer treat!** ***Sue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience of biodynamic gardening.*** **All welcome, no need to book. £10 / £5, ( a charge is made because additional costs are incurred for this workshop. )**

A contemplative spiritual gathering in which you can take time to reflect on life in the company of others. A rare opportunity to experience this form of gathering in person.

𝀌 Looking for personal growth? 𝀌 Want to love and be loved? 𝀌 Is your partner annoying you? 𝀌 Facing health issues? 𝀌 Struggling with money or stuck in business? **What We Offer** 𝀌 Family Constellations 𝀌 Universal Therapy 𝀌 Self-development games 𝀌 Memory and creativity exercises 𝀌 Tea & Coffee break and networking Family Constellations is an advanced approach to problem-solving that helps you gain clarity, overcome inner conflicts, and make positive changes. **Family Constellation** It is a systemic method that explores how problems in our life might be connected to our family relationships, even from past generations. The basic idea is that every group (a family or a business team) is a system where everyone is connected. If the system is unbalanced, for example by excluding a family member or carrying unresolved trauma (like losing a family member in a war), it can affect the whole system and cause problems. It is based on the principle that there’s a Knowing Field (Energy-Information Field) containing everything – past and present, the collective energy and the family’s emotional history. Though not fully understood and scientifically backed, everyone can experience it. When we connect to this Field, the real dynamics behind your situation become visible. **Universal Therapy** It’s a more advanced method combining Family Constellations with Gestalt, Body therapy, Quantum psychology, and Theta healing. The core principle is simple: to solve any problem, find its root. And the root lies in Truth. Sometimes simply seeing the Truth is enough for healing to start. Like detectives, we find the root. Once found, we work with it and address the issue. The process can be surprisingly efficient because we go straight to the cause rather than spending months discussing symptoms. **Many people experience meaningful results within 1–2 sessions, but each case depends on the nature of the problem.** **More information about Family Constellations [https://studioadorio.com](https://studioadorio.com "https://studioadorio.com")** ### **How a Session Works** \- We sit in a circle\. One person \(the Issue Holder / Client\) presents a challenge\. \- As an Issue Holder: You get to sit back and look at your problem from the outside through a systemic lens\. Seeing the "map" of your life move in front of you provides instant clarity\. \- As a Representative: I will ask participants to stand in for people or elements related to that challenge \(e\.g\.\, a father\, a boss\, "Money\," or a "Goal"\)\. Your only job is to notice your body’s signals: a tingling in your hands\, a shift in emotion\, or a sudden thought\. Trust what you feel\. This role is often just as healing as being the client\. Being a Representative is not mandatory. You are welcome to just watch and absorb the energy of the field. The process is completely safe. You cannot “take on” anything that doesn’t belong to you. Sometimes an emotional surge appears, but this is always your own energy coming up to heal. The Field shows only what you are ready to face. If you need to process what comes up, lean on your therapist, supervisor, or friends. I am also here if you need to contact me for guidance or follow-up support [https://studioadorio.com/contact](https://studioadorio.com/contact "https://studioadorio.com/contact") ### **Why Is It Useful?** • It can identify the root causes of problems when other methods fail. • It offers new perspectives for resolving conflicts or making decisions. • Healing one person in the system leads to healing the entire system. **Where?** Shepherd's Bush, Hammersmith & Fulham, London, W12 8BA. The exact location will be sent to your email after booking. **Cost:** £30 flat fee (covers both representatives and issue holders) **For whom?** For people over 25 years old. The group is limited to 8 participants. **Facilitator:** **Kateryna Goodzenko** – Family Constellations and Universal Therapy Practitioner (Ukraine) ### **Commitment & Self-Care** \- By signing up for any of my sessions and workshops you agree to co\-create a safe\, inclusive\, respectful and confidential space for everyone in the group \- Due to the intense emotional nature of constellations\, by joining you agree to take full responsibility for your emotional\, mental\, spiritual and physical well\-being before\, during and after the group\, which also means contacting me if you require assistance\. **Ready to start?** **Come for the benefits and the fun!** **Please get tickets here [https://rb.gy/5h3xkk](https://rb.gy/5h3xkk)** **Questions?** Message Kateryna on WhatsApp [+4474 6969 0203](https://wa.me/447469690203 "https://wa.me/447469690203") **Cancellation:** 3 days' notice required for a refund (excludes Eventbrite fees). **This event is not a substitute for therapy.** It is a self-development workshop and is not a substitute for clinical therapy or medical treatment. If you are experiencing mental illness or psychosis, participation is not recommended. Please do not attend if you are under the influence of recreational drugs or alcohol.

Through gentle movement, breathwork, and journaling, this retreat offers a space to pause, reset, and reconnect—leaving you with practical tools to carry forward into daily life. **Please arrive at 1.45pm for a 2pm start.

Want to become more confident speaking in front of others, without the pressure of formal public speaking? This event is designed to help you **build confidence in speaking naturally, expressing your thoughts more freely, and feeling more comfortable using your voice in everyday life and in front of a group.** Due to the growing interest in our Speed Speaking event, we’ve now moved it to Sunday so more people can join and enjoy the experience together. So, what actually happens? We gather in a relaxed, welcoming circle and take turns responding to short, playful, and thought-provoking prompts. Some questions are lighthearted and funny, while others spark curiosity, reflection, or unexpected conversations. You’ll have **up to two minutes per turn**, just enough time to express yourself without pressure, and everyone gets several opportunities to speak throughout the session. Each round introduces a fresh topic and a new invitation to share. There’s no need to perform, impress anyone, or “say the right thing.” The goal is simply to practice speaking in a supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to be themselves. You’re always free to actively participate or simply listen and absorb the atmosphere. Either way, you’ll be surrounded by warmth, kindness, laughter, and encouraging people. What makes this experience special is how naturally confidence begins to grow. Without forcing anything, you slowly become more at ease speaking up, sharing your thoughts, and trusting your own voice, both in public speaking and in daily conversations. Come for the conversation, stay for the connection, and leave feeling lighter, more confident, and more comfortable being yourself 💛 The event is completely **free**, and no ticket is needed. **Please arrive in front of Arundel Building between 14:40 and 14:55** Then we will head up together to the room on the 5th floor and begin the session at 15:00 promptly. To keep the experience smooth and uninterrupted for everyone, entry won’t be possible after 15:00 Please RSVP in advance and keep your attendance status updated, as the activities and flow of the event are planned around the number of participants.

**Soulbits Circle: A Monthly Gathering** **Every fragment of your story is medicine; come weave it into being** **Hosted by: Caitlynn Fortson** **[www.kalikwellnesswithin.org](www.kalikwellnesswithin.org) \| [www.centerfornewlife.org](www.centerfornewlife.org)** **The Center for New Life or Virtual, upon request** **Monthly Circles \| Fridays 6:30\-7:30PM** **Upcoming Dates: 5/1, 5/29, 6/26, 7/24, 8/28, 9/25, 10/23, 11/27, 12/18** A monthly healing space where we gather to tend the pieces of ourselves and weave them back into wholeness that we are. Each session opens with a Soulbits oracle image setting the tone for the gathering we will move through. We will come together to honor the natural rhythms of rooting, rising, releasing, and receiving; the cycles that shape the soul’s journey. Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen. This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are. *Energy Exchange: 1-group $20-40 or 6-group $115* *Payment Options: Venmo or Cash* **Please RSVP to [Caitlynn](https://kalikwellnesswithin.org/) via** **email @ [kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com](mailto:kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com)** **text @ ‪(614) 407-4021‬** 💫

At Unity of Columbus, our Youth and Family Ministry nurtures the spiritual growth of children and families through love, joy, and practical spiritual teachings. Each Sunday, children explore timeless spiritual principles through stories, creative activities, music, and group sharing in a safe and welcoming environment. Our program encourages children to discover their own inner light, express kindness, and develop a personal connection with God. Together, we celebrate diversity, cultivate understanding, and inspire each child to live with purpose and compassion. Parents and families are invited to join in this uplifting journey of learning, laughter, and spiritual connection.

Join us at Unity of Columbus for our Weekly Reiki Share, a peaceful and uplifting gathering for connection, healing, and growth. A Reiki Share is a time where Reiki practitioners and students come together to give and receive healing energy in a supportive and welcoming environment. These sessions will be moderated by Columbus Unity Reiki. Reiki is a hands-on energy healing method from Japan that first came to the United States in 1938. Since then, it has grown in popularity and is now widely practiced throughout the West. All levels are welcome, and you do not need to be a practitioner at Unity of Columbus to attend. If you are a Reiki practitioner, a Reiki student, or simply interested in becoming a Reiki student, we warmly invite you to join us. Come practice your healing techniques, learn new approaches, receive healing energy, and connect with a like-minded community in a space of relaxation, renewal, and positive energy.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation.

Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !! Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do. We worship the GOD that LOVES US! We understand that god is an energy and it lives in us as us. Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :) Also we are a home not a business, so we enjoy building community one friend at a time. We always build in time for people to mingle & develop friendships! xoxo Much Love, Frank Tennyson Namaste, Frank Tennyson http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/f/9/9/600_447824953.jpeg
