This sound healing helps to release built-up energy anywhere in our being. As we are infused with the energy of “love from above,” conscious self-acceptance and unconditional love expand the space within us, allowing the energy of creativity and individuation to flow. This helps us connect to the flow of life, which can bring new perspectives, new circumstances, or new love.

What happens when colourful yarns, nimble hands, and a spark of imagination come together? A joyful two-part tapestry installation emerges—woven from over 180 metres of knotted ropes and yarn, handcrafted by the community, staff, and patients. These artworks are the result of a meditative, repetitive act that celebrates the therapeutic power of play and the quiet strength of self-expression. Each knot is more than a loop of thread; it is a moment, a memory—woven into a larger story of connection, care, and colour.

Come dance, laugh, breathe, and celebrate the healing power of music and motion. Everyone is welcome. Everyone can move. Everyone can enjoy.

An immersive evening of relational repair, Parts Work, and innerdance This 2-hour workshop is designed to help you understand and shift the patterns behind your relational ruptures. When conflict touches our deepest wounds, many of us default to reacting defensively, shutdown, blame, or people-pleasing—cycles that create distance instead of connection. Through relational repair practices and guided dialogue, you’ll learn to identify the protective patterns that surface in conflict (fight, flight, fawn, freeze) and explore what creates real safety for honesty. You’ll be shown how to speak what you’re truly feeling and needing from a place of truth—not defence. We’ll close with an Innerdance sound journey—an immersive soundscape that surfaces, releases, and processes the existing stories held in the body and psyche. This workshop may resonate with you if you’re... Caught in blame loops, shutdowns, silent resentment, or repeating conflict cycles and want to step into a more conscious and honest way of relating to yourself and others Noticing family/ancestral patterns replaying in your relationships and are looking to work through them Wanting to practice how to repair and relate more effectively, in the face of conflict because you value the relationships that you have Curious how your unconscious projections shape your relating—and how to turn it into dialogue *Feel free to come solo or with a partner. What to expect: Relational Trigger Mapping Parts Dialogue & Embodied Enquiry Learn a framework to initiate repair with Innerdance sound journey into REM-like states of consciousness for emotional healing and processing of emotions Guided reflection and group sharing circle
