Kundalini Activation Process (KAP) Melbourne, with Kim Page
KAP is a Kundalini Activation Process and is a transmission of life force energy to increase Energy Flow. A great way to start 2020!
Some experience feelings of deep relaxation, pure joy, rejuvenation and bliss. Others experience a cathartic release of past pain and trauma. Whilst others notice profound or subtle changes in their daily lives that are aligned with their life purpose and life direction.
Each person's experience is different. All report feeling, or experiencing, a powerful or subtle feeling of well being.
The process: Participants lie down on their yoga mat, close their eyes, relax and let the music and kundalini life force energy transmission work it's magic. It's quite safe and with our eyes closed, it's a private inner journey.
Ideally, please eat lightly before the session and drink plenty of water. Bring your water bottle with you and favourite soft yoga mat. Wear loose comfy clothing so you feel free to flow and move with the energy.
Kim Page is an accredited KAP facilitator who trained with the founder, Venant Wong. She also trained with senior KAP facilitator Sigrid Brelid. Her training is ongoing. Kim also has many year's experience in the wellness and fitness field.

Listening and Forgetting, with Ogemdi Ude
In this workshop, we will practice excavating our physical biographies and nostalgic leftovers through dance making. We will utilize active listening, improvisatory movement and vocalizing to explore the power of forgetting. What healing potential is buried in the stories we tell (and aren't quite sure we got right)?
This workshop is designed for movers/performers of any level of experience.
Ogemdi Ude is a Nigerian-American dance artist, educator, and doula based in Harlem, New York.
