FIELD OF LOVE FESTIVAL 2018
How do we navigate implied social contracts, well meaning assumptions and hardwired politeness? Why not start with the intention to empower ourselves and each other, then explore from there? We'll invite you to move, share, meditate, connect and generally play around with the idea of offering people the space they need to make the right choices for them, as well as taking that same space for ourselves.
Join June Meagher and tone up your chakras for the first 12 minutes via sound and breath and then go into a Wild Chant Dance which will allow you to express yourself through dance and your voice through Chant in anyway you feel is necessary to bring peace and love into the heart and every cell of your being. The music played contains various solfeggio frequencies mixed in with dance music and was created by June and Aled Roberts specifically for this journey. End the session with a gentle Koshi Meditation to soothe the soul.
Why 432 hz? Since 1953 all of our music worldwide has been tuned to the standard concert pitch of A=440 Hz as agreed and promoted by the International Standards Organization (ISO) . Before this point, through ancient times most instruments… native flutes, sitars, didgeridoos were all tuned to 432 hz. Even with just 8hz difference it is said that the 440hz tuning may create disharmony in our systems, when we look at the vibratory nature of the universe and cymatics, it's a clear possibility that this pitch is not harmonious with the natural resonance of nature and could cause less than desirable effects on our behaviour and consciousness. The benefits of re tuning ourselves to the universal harmonics of nature are profound…working with the 432 Hz is said to be mathematically consistent with the patterns of the universe. It is said that 432 Hz vibrates with the universe’s golden mean PHI and unifies the properties of light, time, space, matter, gravity and magnetism with biology, the DNA code, and consciousness. There is much research out there and i would invite you if you feel called to research deeper into this subject. I will also be available to discuss this in more detail before and after the session. When our atoms and DNA start to resonate in harmony with the spiralling pattern of nature, our sense of connection and well being is said to be magnified. This interesting number, 432, also come up again in ratios of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, as well as the procession of the equinoxes, the Great Pyramid of Egypt, Stonehenge, and the Sri Yantra, alongside many other sacred sites. In this harmonic resonance session we will be working with 7 Quartz Crystal Singing bowls all tuned to this 432hz Scale, we work with sacred geometry and Pythagorean intervals to create peace and harmony in our systems. Why Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls? Working with Quartz crystal acts as an oscillator, magnifying and transmitting pure tones. This is why pure quartz crystal is used in all the most advanced telecommunications systems. Like a powerful radio transmitter, the crystal bowls transmit energy into the atmosphere, enhanced with clarity and intention. A sacred space is created and we journey deeply with these pure crystalline tones Each crystal bowl is made of 99.9999 % Quartz Crystal heated to 4000 degrees and then are molded…it is only afterwards that they are tested for there frequency and note. These pure tones vibrate our bodies on all levels beautifully because as beings we have a natural affinity to quartz. The human body is composed of many crystalline substances – the bones, blood and DNA are crystalline in structure, as well as the liquid crystal-colloidal structure of the brain. Even on a molecular level, our cells contain silica, which balances our electromagnetic energies, this connection is powerful and is felt. In this session we will be creating harmony, balance, stability and coherence in our systems. Through the breathe and consistency of the 432hz pure tones we allow a re-balancing to take place on all levels. From this space we can fully align with our true unique frequency and resonance and reach deep states of peace within As always experience is everything…come feel for yourself! "If you want to understand the universe think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." Nikola Tesla. In devotion to the whole x

Contact Improvisation (or CI) is a spontaneous dance form based on the communication between two moving bodies in physical contact. Through partnering in touch we investigate our relationship to gravity, momentum and inertia. In order to open to these sensations, the body learns to release excess muscular tension, listen through touch and abandon certain ambitions to experience the natural flow of movement. This workshop will introduce the basics of CI, we will be rolling, falling, exploring upside down, following a physical point of contact, supporting and giving weight to a partner. Beginners welcome!

Following the wisdom of water, of the ebb and flow, of the giving and receiving, of the rising and wielding, we’ll flow within ourselves and with each other through improvised yoga, contact improvisation, and pranic tantra flow. Soft and joyful.
Aimee’s collection of songs are a combination of truth, raw experience, remembering and wholeness. Her consistent message of loving acceptance and honouring of Pachamama, our ancestors, and both our divine masculine and divine feminine is an offering that channels straight to the heart. Combining this with sacred mantra her music is a celebration of the love that we are, in every moment that arises. Through vulnerability and recognition of both our divine and human nature, her intention is to use the subtle nature of music as a tool to bring us together in circle, through a journey of remembering that we are but one, magnificent in all our parts ... and nothing on this Earth separates us.

Together we will embark on a journey into the concept of 'Fulfilment'. We may hold the belief 'I'll never be fulfilled', or 'Once I achieve a certain state/goal I will be fulfilled'. This sense of lack perpetuates an agitated desire for more and this can lead to suffering. Through a guided Self-Enquiry journey, Alchemic Breath Work and Trauma Release exercises we will gently but thoroughly excavate our inner landscape, embody our experience and reveal a peace that was there all along...'
KUNDALINI DANCE is an ecstatic embodiment practice and this introductory workshop is designed to teach the basic keys to embody the Divine Feminine and Masculine energies within to create an alchemical process in the body.
