Auspicious Special Event - Black New Moon, Restorative Yoga and Sound Healing with Donna Finch and Stephanie Jackowski
Harnessing the energy of this powerful black new moon, we can use the energy to set intentions for the month ahead, start new projects, or achieve our goals – a time symbolising new beginnings.
Being a low-light phase can manifest as low energy for us. We may feel tired, introspective, and ready to indulge in some much-needed restoration.
This session will allow you to move deep within using both relaxation and the power of sound. Donna will guide you through a gentle and supportive set of restorative yoga poses, allowing your body to feel completely safe and held. During this sublime state of relaxation and release, Stephanie will provide a live soundscape using her celestial voice, and a range of healing instruments including gongs, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, and chimes. This divine session will provide a peaceful and supportive space for you to draw inwards and connect to your inner wisdom and higher self leaving you feeling nurtured and loved.
