Slow your body Slow your breath Slow your mind When we slow down we give ourselves the opportunity to rejuvenate, to recharge and to harness our own life force energy or “Qi”. As we move towards winter we begin to turn inwards and connect to the power of Yin, the power of Water and the power of finding our own slow flow. In this 6 week course we will explore Qigong movements, meditations and breathwork practices to support this slowing down, giving us the space to connect to our Qi, to our subtle energy, giving us the tools to feel stronger, calmer and full of vitality. In Traditional Chinese Medicine we are entering the water phase of winter. The water element relates to the organs of the bladder and kidneys, our bones, our ears and our sense of hearing. The meridians of Kidney and Bladder run along our spine and the back of the body and when they are flowing well we feel supported by life, grounded and connected to the world around us. We can find our inner flow with ease, without effort or strain, enabling us to let go of our fears and move forward with courage. Qigong teaches us to come back to our bodies, to come back home, to a place of belonging that is inside all of us, a place of stillness in our the centre. Where we can better navigate life’s uncertainties with greater balance, ease, and steadiness.

Sam is truly a wonderful person. Happiness Club is well worth anyone's time." "Found it beneficial to explore issues and obstacles around making time for selfcare and putting my needs first sometimes! Sammy is a welcoming host and facilitator." "I have worked with Samantha multiple times. I attended the Happiness Club for unlimited self-esteem online course, which was very helpful in identifying self-defeating beliefs and building new ones. I have also done a number of tapping sessions with Samantha to address deep seated issues that I was unable to shake off for years. The results were like magic! I could not believe how fast those aspects of my life changed. At the end of the tapping session, we did some impromptu coaching. Samantha is a very good listener. After hearing my problem, she guided me through the solution without imposing her own views. She helped me find the solution or new belief from within myself."

What is Power Yoga? The practice of Hatha Yoga knows many different styles and intensity levels. Vinyasa Yoga is a more general term for a dynamic and flowing Yoga practice that within the style, also knows many different intensity levels. The term Power Yoga refers mostly to the level of physical intensity; it is a vigorous practice that can be used as a “work-out.” There will be lots of asanas with vinyaas flow and will end our session with very relaxing savaasan meditation in this session I will add pranayama and some time face yoga which is great for our facial muscles and makes our face younger. Let's join this evening with me and feel a energetic version of you class is absolutely beginner friendly.

Life is hectic. Finding time out feels almost impossible. We want to pray, we want to reflect, but when we do find a snatched moment to ourselves, we remain distracted. I've designed this space to help you reconnect with your breath, to gently stretch your body, and to listen... to the voice of your inner wisdom, and to the voice of your Beloved.  We will meditate with scripture, we will journal, we will use creative means to listen to the Spirit. We will sit with Love. I hope you will come away feeling centred, refreshed and assured of your belovedness.  Two hours, on Zoom. "Come away with me to a quiet place" The sessions will be shaped around the following themes this year: October: Teresa of Avila November: Letting Go December: Advent / Expectant Hope January: The Gifts of Winter Darkness February: Love March: Lent April: No Session May: Resurrection / Spring June: TBC July: The Gifts of Summer August: No Session You are invited to participate from the comfort of your own home. Ideally you'll be able to find a little space where you won't be interrupted. You might wish to ask those you share space with to help you protect this time by respecting your privacy. All who sign up will be sent a link to the recording of the retreat which will remain live until the following session. If you would like to participate via recording, simply register for the event. It would be great if you could let me know that you won't be with us in real time. Past Participants are Saying: "A really well led session allowing time for reflection and prayer." - Ellie Virtual Mini-Retreats are hosted by Lissy Clarke, Spiritual Director, Yoga Teacher and the voice behind the meditations at Contemplative at Home.  NB: Virtual Mini-Retreats are FREE for members who support the show at £15/ month and above (thank you!! ✨) - but you must still register to secure a place on a particular date, as places are limited. Memberships can be started or stopped at any time. More information here.
