Alchemical: Transmute Pain into Power

Are you ready to release tension and emotional blockages trapped in your body? Craving a deeper connection with yourself and others? Release London invites you to an afternoon of restoration and healing, combining three transformative modalities: Bioenergetics, a sacred Cacao Ceremony with guided meditation, and Sound Healing.

BIOENERGETICS
Our journey begins with Bioenergetics, a dynamic body-based therapy pioneered by renowned psychotherapist Alexander Lowen. This practice helps release stored physical tension caused by repressed emotions. Through powerful bodywork, including specific postures, breathing exercises, and movement, we unlock energy blockages, allowing for greater self-expression, emotional freedom, and vitality. By freeing this held tension, we access a deeper connection to our authentic selves and enhance our overall well-being.

In this session facilitator Mark Savery will guide you through a series of postures and release exercises to help you reconnect with your body and emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Come prepared to move, breathe, and feel.

CACAO CEREMONY
After a grounding pause, we gather in a circle for an intention-setting cacao ceremony, a sacred ritual steeped in ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions. Cacao is a gentle plant medicine, revered by the Mayan and Aztec cultures, who believed it to be a divine gift from the gods. It is known for its heart-opening properties, and gentle nurturing motherly energy, helping us release emotional blockages and access our inner wisdom. In this guided experience, facilitator Emma Rasmussen, will invite you to reflect on your personal intentions, using a somatic meditation to infuse your intentions with focused energy, before taking you on a guided visualisation to meet the spirit of cacao.

SOUND HEALING
The afternoon culminates with a deeply restorative sound bath where you are invited to relax and restore to the healing sound of hand-beaten Tibetan bowls, pure, crystal clear alchemy bowls, mystical gongs, drums, heart-opening chimes and more. A sound bath is a powerful yet gentle way to enter into a meditative state where your mind quiets and you can connect more deeply with your inner self for clarity, insight and healing.

We’ll conclude our session with a closing circle, offering space for anyone who feels called to reflect on their experience and share thoughts or feelings with the group.

Join us for Alchemical and experience the transformative power of these healing practices, as you transmute pain into power and reconnect with your true essence.
