Zephyr Wildman

Grief is a part of love. It hurts because we love. And just as we fall in love and want to share it with everyone, on social media, at weddings and parties and so on, our grief too wants to be expressed. However, in society today we find it hard to know how to express grief, support those who are grieving and find tools to help us bear what is ours to carry. Nothing will ever fix or solve our grief as it is a natural, normal and healthy reaction to loss. When we experience loss, grief fills our life with darkness. This darkness never goes way, we just learn how to expand our life around the darkness.

There are many tools to help with managing our grief. Zephyr will share some ways that the principles of yoga and Buddhist psychology can help manage grief through applied yoga-asana and meditation practices. This holistic, mind-body approach will allow you to kindly open the grief experience, physically moving the body to release some of the build-up of sensation or awaken the feelings by creating sensation, a useful method of encouraging the hurt to untangle. Students will also use seated practices and guided meditation to help find more resilience by allowing us to tend to our grief with more understanding, compassion and trust.

Lunar Living - working with the magic of the moon

You’ve maybe heard about the power of the moon and how it affects your emotions. You’ve maybe stood mesmerised looking up at her in the night sky feeling she has secrets to share. Or maybe there are a few days out of each month that you feel you can’t sleep, overly emotional or that everyone around you is acting a little crazy?! What if I told you that you could find an answer for all of these things and so much more in working with the constantly changing cycles of the moon. What if I told you that rather than being thrown around by your thoughts and emotions and life you could instead look to the moon and her energies to make sense of how you were feeling and use her cycles to create powerful change and take back control. During this talk by Kirsty Gallagher she will let you into the wisdom of the moon and how you can work with the different phases to bring real magic in your life.
