Thich Nhat Hanh

**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

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... 3/1/2026-DJ TARA 17/1/2026-TBC 7/2/2026- TBC 21/2/2026-TBC 6/3/2026-TBC 21/3/2006-TBC Will update DJ listing asap <3 Admission **New Venue**-Doors open from 630pm and we start at 7pm.

***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.

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.

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!"

A hike via Hackhurst Downs with its beautiful, protected chalk grassland nature reserve in Surrey, part of the North Downs, famous for rare butterflies (like Adonis Blue) and wildflowers (like Wild Basil)... ... in silence, practicing mindfulness as a group. Focusing inwards and tuning into our breath, steps, sounds and surroundings, we let nature speak more clearly. Silent hiking helps us reduce stress, sharpen awareness, and feel connected, not only to the earth beneath us, but to each other, without needing words.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

Meditation practice with short sutra service, dharma talk and discussion.

This meetup is 2:30pm Sunday. Conversation tends toward intermediate/advanced, but everybody is welcome. If you come and don't see us right away, keep looking. We could be anywhere. in the restaurant, or even out on the patio.

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
