Relaxing well-being workshop combining yoga practice and zine making in Edinburgh City Centre

ROOTS In the whirlwind of daily life, we often miss the present. But what if we paused? By cultivating awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and the world around us, we unlock a path to greater well-being. This practice, known as mindfulness, allows us to savour life's experiences and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. Have you ever noticed yourself multitasking on autopilot? Working from home with the TV on, scrolling through your phone while eating, or rushing through your day without truly being present? In today's digital age, it's easy to become scattered and disconnected.  That's where "Roots" comes in. The name has a reason just like our life. Our roots, both physical and metaphorical, connect us to the earth's energy. Yoga mimic these roots, anchoring us in the present moment. Mindfulness becomes the fertile ground where inner wisdom and true self can flourish.  I am NIROSHINI, and I've been practising yoga since the age of 6. With a background rooted in yoga and naturopathy studies in India, I'm passionate about sharing the transformative power of yoga and mindfulness. Drawing from the wisdom of Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga traditions, we have a tapestry of mindful movement, breathwork, postures, (asanas), meditation, and relaxation techniques. This holistic approach cultivates peace, strength, and awareness on both on and off the mat. At Roots, we believe yoga is a transformative tool for a happier, healthier you. Discover your roots and embark on this journey of mindful well-being.  This will be your path to reconnect with yourself. Through gentle yoga practices and mindfulness techniques, you'll learn to cultivate present-moment awareness and a sense of calm amidst the everyday chaos. Imagine truly savouring your meals, quieting your mind during work, increased productivity and finding peace in the simple moments. Through “Roots” you'll experience a dramatic shift in your well-being and the way you look at the journey of your life. Join me on this journey to find your roots and discover the joy of mindful living. Contact us : +447395275754 Instagram: therootsedinburgh

Reiki II welcomes us to a whole new depth and dimension to our practice, elevating the light within. This course is a comprehensive journey designed to deepen your connection to Reiki and provide you with an array of creative tools that will expand your energy channels and empower you to harness the profound healing energy of Reiki, whilst paving the way to practice professionally. Come prepared to spend two days with like-minded people, deepening our experience of Reiki together.  To ensure you receive individual attention the group will be kept small (up to 4 people). Course Highlights: * Review of Reiki Level One and Journey so far * Initiation into the three sacred Reiki II symbols * Receive the Reiki II Attunement * Hands-On Treatment Demonstration, with Reiki II Symbols * Self-Treatment and Practical Healing Others * Practice Distant Healing across space and time, allowing you to heal your past, prepare yourself for the future and help others at a distance. * Give each other a Reiki Treatment using the symbols * Reiki Ethics and Values * Developing a foundation for building a professional Reiki practice About your Teacher Reiki courses are taught by Reiki Master Teacher:  Fionn Leitch, who will guide you through everything you need to know to be able to use Reiki confidently and begin applying it effectively in your life and relationships.  This course is designed to combine the spiritual and the practical.  My style of teaching is personal and relaxed, with plenty of lightness and laugher.  There will be plenty of time for questions, and time to get to know the other students. Why I teach a 2-day Course:  My original training in South Africa was over 12 weeks which covered Reiki 1 and 2 as well as acupressure and Qui Gong.  It was through in-depth training, that I formed a richer understanding of energy and how it works.  It gave me a deeper knowledge on the mind body connection as well as insight into myself and other people and situations in my life.  I also believe the more practical experience you gain with like-minded people, set you up to be more confident as you begin your professional practice. Reiki can be life-transforming if you commit seriously to using what you learn.  The more you connect with Reiki and the more skilled you become, the more amazed you will be at its powerful effects.   NEXT COURSE DATES IN EDINBURGH:   DATES:  1 AND 2 JUNE 2024 TIMES ON BOTH DAYS: 9AM - 5PM WITH AN HOUR'S BREAK FOR LUNCH COURSE INCLUDES: * 2 Full days of tuition * Comprehensive and informative manual * Reiki II certificate, after completion of case studies * Ongoing support and feedback on case studies submitted. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: * Reiki Level 1. * If you studied your Reiki Level 1 under a different Reiki Master, please send us a copy of your qualification once enrolled. * It is advised that there is a gap of at least 2-3 months between Reiki i and Reiki II.  Preparation will be the same for the level one in that alcohol should be avoided up to a week before and caffeine and nicotine at least a day before.

Sessions can happen ONLINE or IN PERSON.  Please read below to choose the session that is more appropriate for you (you'll be asked to select one in the booking process)  If you have questions please drop me an email info@schoolofshamanism.co.uk Don't worry if you do not know what to select, just come and I'll be happy to help you:-) Shamanism is probably the oldest way to see through our hearts and not our eyes to connect with the nature of our creation. It allows us to go behind and beyond the surface of things, to understand why and how certain situations occur in our lives. Shamanism is a spiritual practice that goes beyond every beliefs and culture and is about trying to reach our full potential as we walk on planet earth, so connecting ourselves to the whole. Shamans were described as the first physicians, magicians, artists, storytellers, spiritual beings. But shamans are healers that make changes in invisible realms to help healing in the ordinary reality of the community. Shamans see in the darkness (which is the meaning of the Siberian word “Shaman”) while connecting with the divine outside the time in an altered state of consciousness. We can work together using different methods: A) Shamanic healing  We can work together to solve one of these imbalances in your life, where you feel:  lost and without life purpose, unhappy and unsatisfied, anxious and worried, overwhelmed and stressed, without energy and hope, uncertain about your future, stuck in repetitive dynamics, unable to manifest abundance, incapable of making decisions,not aligned with your heart, disconnected from the universe,impatient and impulsive, not focused and balanced, with low esteem and more? B) Ikigai coaching to find your soul mission through shamanic work   Ikigai is the manifestation, the realization of who you are. It has always been with you, it is your reason for being. Some people are lucky to find a job that corresponds to their true passion. They earn a living doing what they love. But there are a lot of people that do not have such a privilege or can’t find the courage for such a big change.The Japanese people from the island of Okinawa have a word for you: Ikigai. It’s your “reason for being”, where you combine what you love with what you are good.  Ikigai is 'what makes you happy to get out of bed in the morning' and is formed by the union of two words: iki which means 'life' and gai  that  is 'what is worthwhile' which the ancients called “happiness”, your soul mission.  Our session together will be a deep inner journey, suitable for those who already know their life mission and those who have no clue at all about it or just are not aware how to combine their gifts and skills. You will reconnect with your inner voice and true skills to realize your true life mission. C) 1-1 Shamanic Divination and find your 9 power animals  Everyone has nine power or totem animals that emulate each person’s abilities, talents and challenges.  For example if a person is connected to Wolf as a power animal, that person is a born teacher, pathfinder, innovator. This does not mean that the person has acknowledged the gifts. The 9 animals are one for each of Direction (4 plus above, below, within) and two animals that walk aside you each time and that maybe have come to you in dreams for years or that you are simply drawn to. Through the use of cards, while connecting to my Spirit Allies, I will find out which animals are your main guides into your life.  Afterwards you will have the opportunity, while tuning with the 9 animals,  A) to ask a burning question. Divination does not mean to foresee future, but to tune your own wisdom to be guided about how to read your inner light simply using a stone.  You will need 3 medium/big stones with some marks on them and we will then choose 1 and I will guide you through the full process, both online or in person.  B) or to receive your full essence and symbol from me though "soul remembrance : I will undertake a shamanic journey for you to retrieve the essence of your gifts and talents and a symbol to be blown into your solar plexus. This can be done online or in person GIADA'S JOURNEY Creative and Spiritual Explorer of the human well-being running events for 20 years worldwide Shamanic Teacher *Toltec tradition: three years formal training with Two Birds at Anam Cara, Scotland *Japanese Yamabushi tradition with Selene Calloni Williams Shamanic and Integral Yoga Teacher Ikigai Coach and Forest Therapy Guide qualified with Selene Calloni Williams at the Imaginal Academy Professional Esoteric Numerologist graduated at The Connaissance School of Numerology, England Cacao Alchemist Practitioner obtained with Firetree Alchemy, Scotland Corporate Mental Health Coach achieved with WeFocus, Denmark and twenty years working in corporate Practitioner of Buddhist teachings, meditation and the Five Tibetan Rites Yoga Founder of Drink In Art exhibitions of local artists in private flats Founder of School of Shamanism (formerly Invisible Caims) workshops, classes, therapies, retreats Founder of Art and Spirituality centre for creativity and well-being Co-author of a non-profit book with 33 Italian women about our stories in different countries By attending to our classes, workshops, 1to 1 sessions and retreats you agree to our TERMS AND CONDITIONS Payment  Bookings are non-refundable.  Disclaimer  By booking any event or 1-1 session -online or  any other venues – with us, you release Giada Gaslini, Invisible Caims/School of Shamanism, Art and Spirituality and any business partners working with for the event  from any liability arising out of any personal injuries, emotional or physical release, death, expectations of results,  theft in the venue or damages that may happen to people and objects while attending.
