A self love Candle lit Sound Journey & Gong Bath - with Robin Freeman Friday 26th of September 7.30pm - 9.00pm Bournemouth Come and join us for a deeply meditative and immersive sound journey and gong bath experience with Robin Freeman. These sessions provide a safe space where you can come to relax, unwind, and just let go… An opportunity for self-healing, and for restoration of mind, body, and soul. Every session is a unique experience and each week we work with different themes, directions, and intentions. During this particular session we will be focusing upon self love and how we can send healing to ourselves. We will be making ourselves a priority. Creating some 'you time'. An opportunity to recieve the kind of love, kindness and healing wishes that we often send to others, but can easily forget to send to ourselves too. I am a sound healing practitioner, a gong master and a meditation guide. During my session's i like to combine all of these to create a very unique and immersive sound journey and gong bath experience. I work with a wide variety of healing instruments and tools that have been very carefully selected from many different countries around the world. When combined, these can directly and positively affect mood, brain waves, the nervous system, and body chemistry, with fantastic and profound results. The sounds and vibrations that are created in these sessions stimulate the body to recreate its own harmonic frequency and help produce the alpha waves that are present within our brains whilst in a state of deep relaxation. All you need to do is come along, lay down, and relax, as I guide you along a deeply meditative journey. These sessions can help with issues such as stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, depression, digestion, chakra realignment and energy flow. They also create a perfect opportunity to set new intentions or release any burdens that you no longer wish to carry. My sound journeys are also a great way to cleanse from any negative energy and emotional blockages. The average Human being consists of approximately 60% water. Water serves to conduct sound waves. During a sound journey these sound waves and vibrations create ripples that gently reverberate over and over. These circulate around and through-out the entire body to calm, relax and soothe. As a result of this it is common for the heart rate to slow down, the blood pressure to drop, and the breath to become calm, peaceful, and return to its natural rhythm. Once the session ends, it is common for attendees to feel very relaxed and then enjoy a lovely deep sleep that night, followed by a feeling of refreshment once you awaken the next day. During these sessions, along with a large selection of healing instruments and tools, I also use several very special gongs. These have been carefully chosen and induce a holistic resonance in the body and a spontaneous meditative state in the mind, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and wholeness. This is both restorative and healing. It is just what our body, mind and soul needs to restore, refresh and revitalise. VENUE. The Old School House (T.O.S.H), Gladstone Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth. BH7 6BG. (Google maps). What3words; spices.tribal.spoil Come along and enjoy a warm welcome within our cosy, candle lit venue. Time to treat yourself to some well-deserved 'you time'.

Overview Give your child a positive, empowered start to puberty and menstruation by bringing them to their once-in-a-lifetime special First Moon Circle experience. Our next First Moon Circle on Saturday 20th September is for girls and their mothers and female caregivers to gather to learn and celebrate the changes that puberty brings. An empowering, fun, sacred and inclusive circle that goes way beyond school's basic, limited period education and focuses instead on cycle self-care and self love so children feel prepared, informed, confident and supported to experience puberty and their first periods. About the First Moon Circle Your daughter will love this beautiful, magical activity where she can learn all about how she can look after herself as she grows up. Covering self-care, and teaching her how to get the best out of her superpowers as she begins her cycle, First Moon Circles are proving a fun and enjoyable way for girls to learn, play, and feel supported at a pivotal time in their lives. Your child will receive an amazing high-value gift bag and their own beaded bracelet that they'll make with you during the session to remind her of what she learns. Plus she'll get to keep a 22-page booklet that explains all the knowledge and wisdom she'll need to support her through puberty and into adulthood. Mothers/caregivers often learn something in this too. The final part of this session is a beautiful Mother-Daughter celebration where you can gift your child advice, wishes and show her you're supporting her as she grows up. Topics covered include: What puberty and periods are and what to expect What is healthy and normal, and when and how to ask for help How to choose and use different menstrual products What the menstrual cycle is vs a period, and how to navigate changing moods, energies, capacities, strengths and vulnerabilities in each phase Menstrual cycle self-care Mother-child blessing to support your relationship and period positivity at home Each child will receive: A take-home gift bag featuring her own 'moon kit' (a combination of sanitary samples, and beautiful self-care items to remind her of this special day) A 22 page keepsake colour illustrated guidebook written for children full of the wisdom and knowledge to remember what she's learnt to come back to again and again Her own handmade beaded bracelet to remind her of the magic of her cycle and self-care About Ellie Ellie completed her First Moon Circle training in May 2025 with Charlotte Pointeaux, founder of First Moon Circles.
