Contact Improv Dance Class with Eamonn
It is a structured series of classes, and you can expect to learn a comprehensive introduction to the path of Contact Improv through attending.
You’ll learn it’s physicality, culture and through a complimentary practice of Non Violent Communication (NVC) a grounding in how to discuss it’s emotional aspects as well. I expect this to give you a strong grounding in the form, with skills which would see you able to comfortably practice into the future.
I am very delighted to be offering this work and I look forward to dancing with you x…… Eamonn
Spaces are limited to 15 attendees.
Please bring comfortable clothes to dance in, ideally pants and a long sleeve shirt. It’s best to avoid wearing jewellery as well as it can get in the way of the dance.
Learning Contact Improv is a very personal journey, and so whatever you need to feel comfortable in the space is welcome. So for example stepping out from certain exercises, choosing who you dance with or even simply watching for the whole time is all just fine.

Sound Healing with KYC
Join the Kundalini Yoga Collective on the 3rd Friday of every month for an evening of Kundalini Yoga, meditation and sound healing. Experience your infinity and be immersed in the healing vibrations of the Venus Gong and the ancient medicine of the didgeridoo.
Sound has been utilised in various cultures for thousands of years as a tool for healing. Whether through the use of mantras, indigenous medicine songs or ancient instruments these various techniques all have the same intention: to move us from a place of imbalance to a place of balance.
Sound helps to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state. The vibrations of the sounds synchronise our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). When our brains are attuned to its higher frequencies we can go into a state of deep relaxation, restoring the body and promoting healing.
TIME: 7.00pm until 9.00pm the 3rd Friday of the month
INVESTMENT: $25 Online or $30 on the door.
Soul Vibing – Full Moon Sessions with Matt
This full moon let’s get OUT OF CONTROL.
“The more you try to control something, the more it controls you.” -Leon Brown
When we surrender and let go we allow ourselves to align with the divine flow of life. A resource far greater than anything we can imagine.
Join us for this powerful journey out of our heads, out of our ego, out of our limits, out of our fears, and into the flow of all that is.
Using a conscious and active breathing process and LIVE healing sounds you are guided to release the mental chatter of your brain and relax into your body. From this opened awareness you will connect to your body’s natural healing ability. In this deep state of relaxation you will transcend the conscious mind and be guided by your therapist to release mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks, which inhibit you from reaching your full potential. During the breathing process essential oils, reiki and other energetic modalities may be used to help you move into a state of harmony.
These Workshops are held monthly around the fullmoon. Click the book now link to see the time and date of the next session.
