The Five Element Cycle - Earth Element

Sat 24th July 11am - 4pm
with Shakta Kaur & Gabriella Agular in London

"The mysterious forces of the Earth create moisture in the Heaven and fertile soil upon the Earth; they create the flesh within the body and the stomach (and spleen). They create the yellow colour... and give the voice the ability to sing... they create the mouth, the sweet flavour, and the emotions of anxiety and worry." - The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine

This is the fourth in a series of workshops about the five elements applying Kundalini Yoga, Shiatsu and Aromatherapy. Since each element goes with a season, the series will spread over the whole cycle of a year. This time, we investigate the season of Late Summer and the Element of Earth, learn basic shiatsu moves and pressure points, and talk about nutrition and aromatic energies. The next workshop will be in autumn about the element of metal. Download Flyer.

Women’s Workshop & Sacred Merger

Sat 24th July 10am - 1pm
with Siri Arti at Alchemy

Women is the source of inspiration & courage: Nothing is more beautiful than the power of her spirit, the strength of her commitment, the radiance of her physical presence, the magnificence of her soul.

In this workshop we will use Kundalini Yoga and meditation to explore the composition SO PURKH (THAT PRIMAL GOD) written by Guru Ram Das whose vibration exists holding a state of grace and love that heals all realms of the heart and being. By exploring our Grace as Women, we will discover how to use this quality to find a sacred merger with the Men in our lives and heal our relationships and ourselves. This workshop is followed by The Invincible Man's workshop, flowing seamlessly into the Sacred Merger, where we will come together to express ourselves through form and sound. A celebration of Shiva and Shaktiness in all its purity. Download Flyer.

The Invincible Man

Sat 24th July 2 - 5pm
with Benjahmin at Alchemy

"You can be what you WANT to be, but you can't be what you WISH to be. The time has come. We want to be, we should be and we have to be - MEN." - Yogi Bhajan.

Do you truly understand yourself as a man? Do you understand the power of your own self-recuperation? It is far greater than we know or feel it to be. The time has come for man to command his own self and environments. A man can become invincible and evergreen if he truly wants to. Come and experience the disciplines and perspectives that serve you as an individual so you can deliver your excellence as a man. Forge from raw steel a tempered sword of clarity about how to be a man and what it takes to walk on the path of a spiritual man within the 21st century. Download Flyer.

Investment: £25. Sacred Merger: £15. £5 discount for both workshop. Venue: Alchemy Centre, Unit 101, Stables Market, Chalk Farm Road, London NW1 8AH, 020 7267 6188.

Sat 24th July, 21st Aug, 25th Sept, 23rd Oct, 20th Nov, 18th Dec,
8 - 9.30pm with Benjahmin & Jai Kartar at Alchemy

Mantras and the vibrations of sound form the base note to our existence and to chant or sing them brings a frequency of joy and oneness to all. To merge with the sound current is to merge with all that is and our potential as human beings.

Benjahmin and Jai Kartar will lead a monthly Kundalini Mantra Celebration. With new compositions of Divine mantras and some more familiar ones by well know artists, each person can join in with their own personal expression and vibration of the Shabd Guru. Our aim is to create a space for the evolution of the Aquarian spirit and to manifest it now through the gift of community. Download Flyer.

Monthly Sopurkh Chanting Circle for Women

Sat 24th of July 7 - 8.30pm
with Sopurkh in Covent Garden

Sopurkh Felicitas is inviting women to come together to chant the So Purkh prayer which praises the universal creative goddess force within every cell of us. Vibrating the sacred sounds with heartfelt devotion we are aligning ourselves to the energy of the divine mother/father, who is all giving and all encompassing. This is the true nature of women, she is love and longs to give of herself as the love that she is. By chanting this prayer for the man in our lives we envelop them within the love of the divine mother, supporting them on their path.

Yogi Bhajan said that a woman may recite this shabd So Purkh to: * Heal a man * Transform a man into a man of God * Attract a man of God to be her husband * Attract a child to her which will become a man of God * Make God appear before her.

Investment: £12. Venue: Buddha on a Bicycle, 27 Endell Street, London, Covent Garden WC2. Contact Sopurkh, 07534 998356, info@sopurkh.org, www.sopurkh.org.

Aquarius Full Moon Meditation & Gong Bath

Sun 25th July 8 - 9.15pm
with Roma & Amir at Alchemy

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, this Full Moon is all about renewal and rebirth. The Aquarius/Uranus Spirit of Revolution that began back in the sixties takes on a whole new dimension as we face our responsibilities to ourselves, to society and to Planet Earth. This Full Moon may carry echoes of the previous one on 26th June, but where that one posed the question, this one may well provide the answer (or at least point us in the right direction). Though the recent New Moon on July 11th taught us about empathy and surrender, this Full Moon is searching for new ways to take radical action and break free from the prisons of the past. The old modalities no longer serve us and a new way must be found.

Programme: * Brief reading on the Aquarius Full Moon (effect of Moon phase) * Pranayama * Kundalini Yoga warm up kriya * Kundalini Yoga meditation (usually 22min) * 30min Gong Bath. Download Flyer.

Investment: £12. Venue: Alchemy Centre, Unit 101, Stables Market, Chalk Farm Road, London NW1 8AH, 020 7267 6188.

Kundalini Intensive Retreat

Thu 9th - Sun 12th September
with Sat Siri Singh & Shakta Kaur in West Wales

When Yogi Bhajan came to the West, he proclaimed a very simple but daring statement: ”It is your birthright to be happy, healthy and holy.“ He pointed out that we are all holy by nature, most of us are also quite healthy, but the real problem is to be happy. True happiness never comes from achievements of doing or having, but from a state of being in our true nature. To live happily and fulfilled, we need to learn to drop our past, bless our future, live in awareness and grow beyond any limits. An everyday experience of our divinity gives us the strength and devotion to master all challenges with grace, purpose and victory.

This retreat is suitable for beginners as well as advanced yogis. We will discuss various aspects of the teachings and go into deep practice of Sadhana, Kriya, meditation, pranayama, singing, dancing, silence, nature, seva, and a delicious yogic diet. The program also includes an Aromatherapy Massage treatment. Download Flyer.

Investment: £280. Venue: Cerrig Llwyddion, Blaengilfach, Rhos, Llandysul, Carmarthenshire SA44 5HE, West Wales. Contact Sat Siri Singh, 07502 330 120, sss@kundalini-khalsa.com.

Oneness

Sat 11th September 12 - 5pm
with Hari Har Ji in Manchester

Oneness - always present but rarely found. Becoming one, merging with the infinite, the end of duality... these are the desires of the yogi. It is a noble ambition but why is it so difficult to do? It is not an intellectual exercise, it is an experience. Not an object but a subject. It is not the I which is known but the I which knows. True happiness is in unity and yet our lives are constantly absorbed in ensuring our individuality and therefore our separation. We look for unity in relationships and in our practice and meditation, we find moments of stillness but then daily life absorbs us and we are lost again.

Becoming one with all does not mean that you must lose your individuality, we are an individual centre of consciousness which is part of universal consciousness, if we merge rather than separate we find our full potential and everything flows towards us.

Investment: £40. Venue: Subud centre, 21 wilbraham Road, Fallowfield, Manchester M146JS. Contact Akal Dev Kaur, 07795 610546, missylain@live.com.
