Our Friday Alternative Night Out series is your invitation to wind down the week in a way that feels positive — not just in the moment, but in a way that will set you up to make the most of your weekend.
Each Friday offers something a little different: from grounding breathwork and soulful women’s circles, to yoga for men, sound journeys, somatic movement, and deeply restorative sessions combining meditation, breathwork, yoga nidra, and Reiki.
Think of it as a reset with the focus on YOU.
Instead of noise, you’ll find quiet.
Instead of small talk, meaningful connection.
Instead of draining your energy, you’ll fill your cup.
There’s usually time to share tea, snacks, and conversation — or just be.
Come as you are. Leave nourished and more connected to self and others.
the somatic movement session | A Guided Non-Contact Journey
Somatic movement is a powerful way to release stored tension, move stuck energy, and reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence. This event invites you to slow down, tune in, and move in ways that support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and a deeper sense of ease.
Charli Van Ness | Friday 27 February | 7:00 – 8:30 PM | £25
Charli will guide you through gentle, intuitive movement practices designed to support healing, self-awareness, and embodied transformation.
There’s no choreography and no pressure — just simple, guided movements that meet you exactly where you are. Please note all practice is ‘non-contact’ and is held by a Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher. Music Playlist will be mindfully curated and played within the session as well as introducing some natural ‘real-time’ sacred sounds within the practice. You’ll be held in a safe, supportive space and encouraged to listen to your body’s cues, sensations, and impulses.
Together, we’ll explore fluid movement, grounding practices, and somatic techniques that help awaken parts of the body that may feel tight, disconnected, or dormant. Somatic movement can open the door to emotional release, increased body awareness, and a profound sense of calm and clarity. This evening invites curiosity, play, and exploration — allowing movement to become a pathway back to yourself.
This practice also helps encourage the individual to bring back connection to the mind – heart – body, learning to build trust within movement again.
