Join us for an uplifting journey of sacred sound!

Chanting refers to the repetition of sacred sounds, words, or phrases—often mantras. In Kirtan, chanting may involve mantras, names of deities and affirmations of love, love and unity. The repetition is not just musical—it is a spiritual practice meant to calm the mind, open the heart, and elevate consciousness. This induces a meditative state and deep focus. Kirtan and chanting promote emotional release, joy, and healing. This strengthens a sense of community and shared purpose. 

What’s more, studies show that Kirtan and chanting activate the vagus nerve, aiding relaxation and nervous system regulation and encourages spiritual connection. 

This experience is suitable for all levels, NO experience necessary!!  You cannot do this wrong and it’s lots of fun!

“When the body is aligned, the breath flows. Where the breath flows, the mind becomes still”. T.K.V Desikachar.

The essence of yoga alignment is not only in the precision of the posture, but creating space for stillness, clarity and connection within. 

Would you like to feel more confident and connected in your yoga practice? In this workshop we will dive deeper into the foundational poses that make up Surya Namaskar A and Surya Namaskar B, bringing the focus to alignment, form, breath and function movement. Whether you are newer to your practice or have been practicing for a while, exploring your alignment can assist you move with more ease, stability and awareness.

Join Maria Papadontas for a workshop that can support you to learn more about how your nervous system responds to cues in your environment and the benefits and possibilities of somatic techniques.

Somatic techniques are body-focused exercises and therapies that aim to release tension and trauma held in the body by increasing awareness of bodily sensations and promoting movement and relaxation

Stress and anxiety often live in our bodies long after our mind has moved on. It is often said that the "body remembers what the mind forgets” and for a very good reason. It is well evidenced that the body and mind have a connection that is inextricably linked and has profound impacts. 

IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY!!! Soul Seed is 5 years old this June and wow has the time flown. From those early days of constant lockdowns we are thrilled to have built such a kind, generous and loving community.

We would love you to stay afterwards for a cuppa and piece of cake to toast our little community.

What is Breathwork?
The term Pranayama means the expansion of life-force in the body. To do this, we utilise various breath techniques, often in conjunction with retentions and bandhas (energetic locks), that have various effects on the body. Some Breaths are heating, others cooling, some cleaning, others energizing. What they all do is leave you feeling amazing!

• Would you like to learn more about how you experience yoga poses in your body and increase your awareness and understanding of how alignment impacts your practice? 
  

• Do you feel that you need to look a particular way in a yoga pose or feel the need to get the pose ‘right’?

Then this workshop is for you, as the goal is not the way you look but how you feel and experience your practice. 

Maria will take you through a series of alignment cues to enhance the functionality of your practice specific to your body.  She will introduce you to different mechanisms that will support you to create space where you might have otherwise felt stuck, to come to your mat and notice your body, and support you to increase your understanding of what your body may need to support your practice further.

Do you know where your sage is from? Do you know the energy of those who farmed it or how it was cultivated? If we are truly looking to harness the cleansing benefits of our plant allies, these are the questions we need to know the answers to, otherwise who knows what energy we are bringing into, and burning, as part of sacred ritual. 

A 2 hour journey, this Smudging workshop is a passing on of sacred Indigenous teachings. Danielle, with permission as an adopted member of the Tsleil-Waututh nation, will explain to us how we can respect our plant allies, while maintaining our spiritual health, from harvest to burning.

As we near the end of the year, the time is right to let go of things that no longer serve us to make space for what we want to bring into our lives in the new year ahead.

Join Max for this cathartic and heart opening ceremony of letting go!

Both Cacao and Sound have been used my many ancient traditions to promote healing and wellbeing

.In this 90-minute immersion we will be bringing these 2 healing practices together. Along with some gentle movement and pranayama, we will be letting go of what we no longer need, opening the heart and creating space for bringing more authenticity in to our lives.

A 90 minute journey inward, the Breath and Sound Immersion is a co-created cocoon of sound - a sonic hug - where we are invited to bask in the spaciousness of self.

The immersion begins with intentions setting, Sankalpa, followed by pranayama and vocal toning. We continue our journey inward with acoustic live music, offering words to create a collective song connecting to the heart space.

Emotions move and energy shifts are felt as we are further guided in to a nurturing, intuitively guided meditation and sound bath.

Sounds wonderful!!

Let’s talk about MENOPAUSE!

WHY? Because not enough people do, which is strange as it’s a perfectly natural and normal transition in the lives of 50% of the population. Rather than hush up this incredible transformation in to our wisdom years let’s start celebrating the amazing women we are.

Many women going through peri menopause and menopause can feel isolated, fearful, and alone. This workshop has been designed to come together, gain some wisdom, share experiences and develop tools to help get through the changes and challenges that can be experienced.

‘Japa meditation has been my daily practice for as long as I can remember. When my mind is very busy and chaotic it gives me clarity and focus. When I am distracted it keeps me present. When I am anxious it keeps me grounded.’ - Maxine Yeates

Most of our minds are filled with stress and chaos. We often think of this as normal however we often do not know how to handle such busyness. Meditation is a powerful tool to tame the monkey mind and Japa meditation in particular can be really helpful for those whose struggle to sit. Using a set of mala beads and mantra, this form of meditation is great for anyone seeking to bring a little stillness in to their day to day.

Max is super thrilled to be sharing her practice of Japa Meditation in this informative and interactive workshop.
