  • Rebecca Brewin

    Scaravelli Inspired Yoga

    Movement in gravity using yoga and touch.

    Finding ground, breath and wave. A Scaravelli-inspired Yoga workshop where we will explore inhabiting our bones and flesh through posture, movement and touch. This will include working together in pairs or threes to inspire greater depth of understanding of the body in gravity.

    Rebecca is a movement practitioner, artist and poet. She is a yoga teacher in the approach of Vanda Scaravelli, which she combines with her writing and contemplative practice. She lives between Frome in Somerset, in a wooden wagon which she built with a friend during the Covid lock downs, and a meditation community in France where she is part of an evolving embodiment programme and has helped to set up a programme for volunteers to work there and experience contemplative living.

    Feelings of Dance, Feelings for Life

    A daily sharing space, built on structured listening, to help deal with feelings and thoughts that accompany dance, being with a group, and general issues in our lives. Not a therapy, but confidential spaces and useful information to help us navigate an increasingly challenging world.

    By learning the skills of listening exchanges and having a chance to explore your own feelings and thoughts in a confidential setting, you both learn to be more effective with others and build a solid foundation for life and dance. The work includes some key insights into human functioning and the importance of inclusion for all, which you can use in and out of dance settings.

    Gale Burns has studied and taught peer listening exchanges and circles for many decades, sometimes at contact workshops and more recently in climate organisations. They can have a big impact on our experience of other people and groups and prove useful skills in our wider lives. He is also a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and has been involved in contact since the 70s.

    Hatha Yoga

    Grounding, Spiralling and Unwinding the upper body, with an emphasis on movement, alignment and rhythm that releases, exhilarates and energises. Finishing off with TRE (tension release exercises)

    I've been practising yoga for 20 years and teaching for over 15, meandering through yoga traditions, somatic and energetic perspectives in a spirit of all philosophies are useful, all philosophies are incomplete, do not be attached to them.

    Sound Bath

    This sound journey environment is the perfect place to re-energise.

Our bodies consist of mostly water which allows us to resonate deeply with sound vibrations.

He has also completed certified training with Mehtab Benton in Gong Yoga and Gong Therapy.

    Movement of Belonging

    An early morning ritual with a varying mix of core movements and voice work from the Elements, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, Arab Egyptian, Hands-on, Native American and more... and the connection with each other and the miracles of each moment all around and within us.

    Sky's journey weaves thru many forms, integrating what was/is meaningful in embodiment; revelations in massage, contact impro, presence, of alive elements within & everywhere. Our destiny of consciousness & imagination in union with the entire creation; the wonder of each miraculous moment. Embracing the space of all this and being with others and breathing into creation with delight, appreciation and joy, with our siblings - animal selves, plant earth elements stars - tiny and immense.
