Chakra Full Day Workshop

Heal and Activate

There is a life force energy system that can be explained by the chakras. Chakras are known as the body’s energy centres.  It comes from the Sanskrit word meaning Cakra (wheel) and it is believed that each chakra is a vortex of energy that when spinning correctly can enhance ones’ wellbeing.  The energy centres are not visible by the human mind but can be sensed with our intuitive knowing.

Chakras hold the energy of our memories, thoughts, experiences, and emotions.  They support our ability to function well with our mental processing, emotional health, spiritual connection, physical wellness, manifestations, and future direction.

Emotional, physical, and mental issues in the body and the mind are said to formulate from under-active, overactive, or blocked chakra/s because they disturb the balanced flow of energy.   Healing the Chakras is the intentional spiritual practice of connecting with the energy centres to cleanse and activate. 

We will focus on the seven chakras of matter to open, align, and strengthen each with arts and meditation. Healthy chakras are vibrantly coloured, the perfect size, and are flowing at a healthy speed.

Lantern Holistics creates incredibly nurturing, cosy & relaxing sessions for expression, creativity and contemplation. I absolutely adore Erena’s meditations and therapeutic art activities - I always feel so much calmer and more grounded and inspired after each one. I highly recommend booking into a session with Lantern Holistics.

“Had a wonderful day and enjoyed meeting other women from all walks of life and at different stages in their life”

Thank you Erena Hodgson for creating such a beautiful space where I could express myself, feel safe, connect to my higher self and feel relaxed. Thank you.

Working Mum Creative Break for Stress Relief and Self care

Photo by Yan Krukov

The stresses of the daily grind can be exhausting as a Working Mum. Juggling all the responsibilities at work, home and all your relationships (especially, the one with yourself).

Take a break, come and create.

Not for your children, your boss, your family or your friends just for YOU.

These pop up workshops are for the tireless Mothers that give, give, give and are looking to de-stress and have fun.

They are looking to re-establish the balance between caring for others and taking time for self care.

When you fill up your own cup with presence, happiness and an active solution for reducing stress we are better Mums, better workers and develop better self esteem.

These approx. fortnightly workshops are designed to allow you to come and go as you please. No obligations and all you need to do is book in and show up!!

Just grab your Biz Bestie to join you. You know, the person that supports you when you have had a rough day, laughs with you when the kids are saying or doing the funniest things, or drops off food when you are sick and actually, enjoys your company.

You will:

  • strengthen and calm your nervous system through breathwork and meditation. This enables you to actively de-stress and have mental clarity

  • reduce your heart rate, connect with your heart energy and raise your vibration. A simple process that alleviates low moods

  • play with colour, have fun, heal the inner child to bring more joy and happiness into your life

  • meditate with the creative process. A fun way to be mindful with easy activities that will quieten the monkey mind and improve your work performance

  • develop your intuition through sensory curiosity. This will enhance your ability to trust that your decisions are heartfelt and true

  • be intentional about self care, this will balance the demands of the working Mum juggle and you will feel empowered to create space to respond to the kids, workmates and family - Yelling Mum be gone!

  • taking an active role in the wellbeing of you in a relaxed environment that activates the reward centre in the brain. Take satisfaction in your creative adventures with laughter and connection.


    Book in to choose your creative break.

 

Are you looking for the perfect Valentine's day gift?

As Spiritual Women, we yearn for moments to move with our intuition. To express from the inner and be seen, acknowledged and cherished for being as we are -- not for approval, not to be measured by others art or what they deem as PRETTY!! We dedicate and nourish a deep sense of self love by expressing our authentic truth.

Intuitive Art is soul work, this is energy visualised in the NOW moment when all is possible.

Intuitive Art Workshops on Self Love is available and includes an Intuitive Meditation & Oracle card reading in my healing space.

  • being intentional about connecting with your heart and cultivating self love will raise your vibration

  • connecting with your heart energy sends a signal to your brain to be in sync together, you create coherence and in this way your energy field will expand and you will be more loving, positive and connected to all that is.

  • Creative expression activates our innate wisdom. Through movement and presence, you will have those a-ha moments and shift through the mind tangles.

  • Creative flow encourages the creator to be present to this NOW moment with movement. It is Zen meditation that will relax and relieve stress.

  • Creative expression allows a deep sense of satisfaction with the completion of your own creation. This is an opportunity for you to know that your expression is unique and that this is the first time the world has truly seen you.

  • Creative Therapy supports a deeper awareness of self. Exploring the inner landscape and show compassion for all parts of you through the healing power of arts.

  • Intuitive action releases pent up energy. This is a process to let emotions be acknowledged, enlightened to heal, then surrendered to let energy flow effortlessly.

Remember, there is a powerful divinity when you go beyond words to connect with your higher self.

All materials provided. No artists allowed, this is purely about letting your intuition lead the way back to your heart.

Forest Lake | $150 | 6pm to 8pm

 

We invite you to come and use creativity to explore emotions in a safe environment with an experienced facilitator. The intention of this series is to provide you with an opportunity to take an 'inner journey', to relax and be supported to flow with your creative energy.

  • Start a conversation with your Soul through Arts

  • Access your intuitive knowing

  • Art-making accesses both mind and body to promote healing
