Welcome to May! I always find May to be a time of change, both internally and externally. I love this time of year; Spring is always the true rebirth of the year and as we step towards summer, nature begins to show more changes in glorious ways. Personally, this is also a big time of change for me, having stepped away from a decade of working with the family business, to fully embrace, grow and nurture Soundworks – but that’s a whole other blog post!
Often, this time of year can feel quite fast or busy and even though it is a time of flourishing, it’s also a time that we benefit from a little extra nourishment. Consciously aiding ourselves in slowing our pace and creating a few more moments that are good for the soul helps support this time of change, and its acceptance.
Returning fresh from a beautiful time in Malta, hosting sound spaces at Thrive festival, I am stepping into a fruitful few weeks of sessions that I can’t wait to share with the community. I think this might be the fullest month of sound that I have ever hosted!
If you know the session you would like to join already but haven’t made a booking, you can head straight to the events booking page, here. Below are a few events I wish to highlight for the month ahead. All other regular sessions (Frankincense Store, Jamyang and Thornbury) are still scheduled as normal. The dates and times for these sessions can be found here.
Yogaloft Fri 3rd May
Welcome to ‘Bloom’ – Mid way between the Pink moon and the Flower moon cycles, this session shall focus on centering ourselves and our inner strength, to accompany our growth during this time. This time shall be a time to rest, relax and restore together, a nurturing Friday evening session!
Jacksons Lane Sun 5th May
Alex and I welcome percussionist and Sound Therapist Luca to one of our Movement & Sound sessions on Sunday the 5th of May. This lovingly curated, 2 hour right of passage celebrates movements that support us during this awakening time of year. Accompanied by ancient sounds & scents of natural alchemy, we travel on percussive waves to meditative sound frequencies for this moment of community reset. Use code ‘CRAIG’ upon booking to receive a reduced ticket price. Price includes seasonal refreshment that we shall enjoy together at the end of the session.
Brighton Fundraiser Fri 10th May
Dear friend and fellow Gong practitioner Tabather is in need of a hip replacement, much earlier than planned. Instead of cancelling the collaboration that Luca and I had planned with Tabather, we’ve teamed up with the venue and Romi, to curate a 2 hour Cacao and sound session. Everything raised will go to Tabather, to support her while she cannot work, and focuses on recovering. Can’t make it but would like to donate? We’ve set up a donation link for those who would still like to support from a distance.
Frequency of Love Fri 17th May
Join Deepa and I for this Friday evening session that is curated around the depths of chants. Following an opening with Blue Lotus tea and a moment of meditation, Deepa shall then take us on a vocal journey of chants, before we drift further away to the frequencies of the singing bowls. Optional Blue Lotus tea and Hands on Healing will be available for all. Book directly with Deepa, by clicking the button below.
