Blind seed X The Collective self-reiki touch workshop
MAY 20, 2020 6-7PM BST (UK Timing), 1-2PM EST ONLINE, ZOOM LINK TBA
Join Blind Seed’s co-founders– Tara Aura and Sara Elise– for a self-reiki workshop featuring beloved spiritual coach Laura Chung.
Brooklyn-based duo Tara + Sara curate elevated wellness events through an accessible lens, so approaching inclusive intimacy and self-satisfaction is their sweet spot. They will be opening space with Reiki master Laura Chung, who teaches kundalini yoga in NYC and spreads healing wisdom through her Awaken and Align podcast.
Together with The Collective for the first time, Blind Seed will explore touch as a form of spiritual care and learn how to redirect universal life force energy as an act of kindness toward ourselves. Anyone feeling unwell, experiencing stress, anxiety, or negative mental state would benefit from this practice. All guests will gain a deeper understanding of how and where the body holds our emotions, according to ancient Chinese medicine, and finally practice a step-by step meditative ritual, scanning the body and restoring its energy centers.
This event is in support of Mental Health Awareness Week. The Collective has partnered with a charity called InCommon, a social enterprise that brings older and young generations together to tackle social isolation and loneliness. 100% of any of your donations to attend the event will go to InCommon's COVID19 response work. #BeMoreTogether
