Workshop FAQs
FAQs for all workshops (specific workshop details below):
All workshops are inclusive of all ethnicities, genders, ages (18+), sexual & relationship preferences. Everyone is welcome.
C-19?
We ask you to keep our community safe by taking a lateral flow test on the day of the workshop & to refrain from attending if you have any C-19 symptoms.
HOW DO I BUY TICKETS FOR WORKSHOPS?
See individual workshop details. Some workshops have an Eventbrite link, others request an email to EmbodiedMoves. Confirmation of receipt of payment will be sent with the event link. Responding yes/going/RSVP on websites without making a financial investment does not confirm your place. Your space is only confirmed once the financial investment has been completed.
REFUNDS?
Unfortunately, no ticket is transferable or refundable. If the organiser needs to cancel/reschedule, you will receive a full refund.
NUMBERS?
The number of participants is limited (dependent on the type of workshop) so as to increase the sense of safety within the group & space. Please note: bookings are frequently made on the day so it isn't possible to confirm numbers (or ethnicities, genders, ages, sexual & relationship types) before the workshop.
GENDER BALANCING?
These sessions are open to people of all genders & sexual orientations with an atmosphere of respect & acceptance at all times. Sessions are not gender balanced (i.e. one man to one woman). There is an invitation to move beyond personal preference & ideas of sexual attraction, into a space of welcoming & appreciating everyone. Please note: bookings are frequently made on the day so it isn't possible to confirm the gender balance via email before the workshop.
FOR SINGLES ONLY?
All workshops are suitable for singles & for those in couples, trios & all other forms of relationship. You are very welcome to work only with your partners, but please do let me know via email. Separate tickets need to be bought for each participating person.
HOW SHOULD I DRESS?
Unless specified otherwise, you are invited to dress as you feel comfortable, wearing layers you can remove in response to your needs.
DO I NEED PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE?
No, all workshops are suitable for people both with & without prior experience.

Kundalini / Shamanic Inner Dance Sound Journey
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Each session has a different group of people, so each session is very much unique. However, to give you some idea of the flow of a session... we will begin by getting to know each other as we talk about the experience we are going to share. We will ground & connect with our kundalini energy or the elements. You will be invited to lie down & relax on a yoga mat, before embarking on your internal journey supported by sound & live instruments. The music & tribal instruments support healing & deep connection with self, navigating through theta & beta brain waves to flow through subtle trance states leading to pure consciousness to surrender to Source.This journey is unique for everyone, some people dance, some people connect with the cosmos, some people rest & return rejuvenated. If energy work has been agreed, I will work intuitively with any energy (chakra) blocks to support your flow in the journey. This may or may not involve touch - dependent on what has been agreed at the start of the session. We will close the journey with grounding processes & with an expression of the experience.
WHAT TO BRING?
Yoga mat / Blanket (a limited number will be available for use)
Water bottle
