14th – Harmonic Puja: Rest, Restore & Realign with Clara & Phred

Clara has spent 16 years on a journey of self-discovery and healing, exploring spiritual practises, tantra, embodiment and energy work. Nine years ago, Phred discovered a harmonic series of electromagnetic resonances revealing a profound link between beauty, symmetry and the fabric of creation. Together, they offer an immersive sound and energy journey: blending vibrational music with VortexHealing® energy transmission. Binaural combinations of the Earth’s harmonic resonance guide you into deeply restorative brainwave states, while the energy work supports realignment with your Divine Blueprint.

9th – Another Way of…Thinking with Keith Beasley

What if becoming more spiritual, more connected, means changing not just what we think but how we think? We know that indigenous peoples, shamans and the like can enter a different state of mind to most Westerners. Perhaps those of us on a spiritual journey are changing our mode of consciousness to be more like theirs. But how? What’s actually changing? And why is it something that could make the difference to the future of our species! In this session, Bristol TS regular Keith will bring together theory with practice based on his last 15 years as a consciousness researcher. 

16th – Christmas Party Bring food to share!
