Hello Friends

As part of my work in the therapeutic and healing space, I would like to invite you to join me and our growing community for monthly meditations and workshops. We meet on the last Tuesday of each month at EJ Ward Community Centre.


Breathwork, pranayama and practices of focused stillness have been at the core of advanced spiritual and contemplative practices as far back as deep antiquity. We know the ancient Egyptians taught practices such as breath, stillness, and going inward for deep release and connection to the divine. The Ancient Greeks adopted these Ancient Egyptian teachings and we also see similar practices passed down through vedic teachings and later Buddhist teachings.

Fast forward to our current times and practices such as breathwork, meditation, stillness and somatic release are finding space as cornerstones of optimal psychological health, healing and physical health.

Active breathing has the capacity to circulate cerebro-spinal fluid back up into the pineal glands which activate neurochemicals such as DMT, serotonin and tryptophan. These chemicals in addition to stabilising mood and helping us feel well are the chemicals most associate with deep insights, spiritual experiences and deep healing and understanding.

Mark Moon is a deeply gifted breathwork practitioner who has been offering group and 1:1 breathwork sessions for a number of years. He will be leading our sangha next week.

Join us tomorrow evening (26 November) as we embark on a beautiful close to our mindfulness meetings for 2024 and set our intentions for the new year -shedding what no longer serves us and calibrating our energy and frequency towards our new direction.
