Every Wednesday at 1pm London\, 5am Los Angeles\, 8am New York\, 6.30pm Mumbai\, 10pm Tokyo\, 12am+1 Sydney  \n30 min meditation with optional space to say hi and hang out after \n£10 Drop in (book here). \n“The  meditations with Amisha are always so beautiful. They leave me feeling calmer\, lighter and uplifted. I love having this anchor practice to look forward to every week.” Louise \n“There is something very special about meditating with Amisha.  I feel that I am receiving a transmission from her lineage.  Pure\, simple and feminine.  No gurus required!” Lisa \n“I absolutely enjoy the meditations with Amisha. I am always left  with immense calmness and joy. There is something magical in gathering together and meditate as a group. I really like that the sessions are always a bit different\, tapping into different aspects as we weave together through this rhythm. This makes the live calls really unique.” Arina \n  \n  \n  \nWhy Now? \nIn the culture of the capitalist spiritual\, the simple and most effective can get lost. The focus can be on big peak experiences. Often we know what supports the rhythm and helps but struggle to make time for it – or get easily distracted. As our phones continue to scramble our brains and attention spans\, there is something extremely helpful about being pulled into a steady rhythm of simple practices that increase your capacity – supporting with anxiety\, stress\, overwhelm\, grief\, numbness\, scatteredness – and igniting more creativity\, energy\, vision\, intuition\, presence. When we practice together we amplify the power of what we are doing\, and you feel the strength of the field and how it brings you into coherence. At this time\, it’s so vital that we calibrate our own frequency so that we can be present\, responsible and joyful in these times. Rather than retreating we can find our way to contribute and create beauty in a world that is never not broken. It’s the slow\, subtle practices that really hold us steady and allow space for growth and integration. \nWhat will we do in The Presence Sessions?\nThe practices will include aspects of Yoga\, Meditation\, Pranayama\, Mantra from ancient wisdom traditions in India. This is Amisha’s ancestral lineage as well as chosen path of practice. It’s all offered with that deep respect love and relationship. Many of these practices are also what you see repackaged as breathwork\, biohacking\, coaching techniques.  These practices are offered with simplicity\, and the power that it holds. \nWho is this hosted by?\nAmisha Tala Oak is the author of Intuition and The Future Is Beautiful. She is the host of All That We Are podcast and has been offering these practices since 2013. Her ancestral lineages are of Hinduism and Jainism. She has studied deeply Kashmir Shivaism (classical tantra) and has done many yoga and meditation teacher trainings\, as well as energy work. She offers one to one work on shifting subconscious patterns and expanding intuition. She has hosted retreats and workshops across the world including guiding pilgrimages in India and presenting at Bali Spirit Festival. She has spoken at TEDx\, Unbox and Change Festival to name a few. Before this work she worked in politics and sustainable fashion. \n  \nListen to this podcast on meditation and the current state of the world and our brains – https://allthatweare.org/2025/09/18/e246-the-rhythm-of-rebellion-meditation-for-a-wild-and-beautiful-life/ \nBook here: \n£10 Drop in (book here).

We will journey to awaken and deepen our relationship with the Divine Feminine and to integrate both our personal experiences and the collective challenges alive in the world right now. \nThe practice (sādhanā) is designed to create a powerful container with the offering to draw into a deeper personal retreat space with guidelines and suggestions around diet and daily rhythms and commitments. The main practice is chanting mantras daily along with an opening and closing circle. \nNavaratri is the festival of nine victorious nights\, in devotion of the many faces of Durga and in celebration of the victory of good over evil. \nDurga means The invincible\, The inaccessible or The fortress and She is the great Warrior Goddess and the power or aspect of consciousness and of the Divine Feminine that protects.  She represents the fearless heart and awakens the courage we need to meet our fears and challenges\, whether they be living external challenges or inner fears and limiting beliefs. She empowers us to listen to our Truth\, to trust the process and to rise up in Love and Service for the Greater good. \nThis is an invitation to direct energy towards the areas within your life that you seek support\, transformation or a radical shift in thought or structure – in service to our personal growth and the collective healing of our planet. \nThrough our practices and journey together we will awaken and celebrate the spirit of Durga\, as warrior Goddess. We will tend to the flame of the heart and focus our energy and commitment towards amplifying our power and wisdom and remembering our worth. \nWe will be in devotion to many aspects of the goddess\, including the form of Ma Kali who sharpens our intuition with her sword of discernment allowing us to cut through any distortion. \nThis festival begins on the New Moon in Libra and as the moon waxes with the energy of the Goddess\, the power of Shakti within is illuminated and magnified throughout our lives. It is a potent time for inner work and we hope that you will join us. \n  \nSIGN UP HERE \n \n  \nWHAT’S INCLUDED: \n\nBe part of a global community of sisters\n90 minute live welcome circle including mantra\, mudrā\, storytelling & sharing & group energy work)\nLive led daily sādhanā sessions\, including meditation\, chanting mantras & prayer\nSuggestions on how to deepen your sādhanā through diet\, daily rhythms and commitments for these days\n Emails with teachings\, reflections and contemplations\n90 min closing circle including group energy work with seeds planted to water in the weeks after\nGroup to connect with your sādhanā sisters going through this journey\nRecording of practice so you can do it at a different time of the day if you need to\nTransmissions of mantras that you can then use in your personal practice\nPersonal transformation as we ground and honour the energy from this eclipse portal\nPower of collective prayer and cultivating Shakti together that we can offer up to those who need it at this time\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTHE DETAILS: \n  \nWeds 2nd October\, 8-9.30pm BST – Opening circle\, mantra\, mudra & storytelling \n(On zoom – recording will be send out straight afterwards) \nThursday 3rd October to Saturday 12th October\, 8-8.30pm BST – Daily sādhanā – mantra and meditation. \n(you can still join even if you can’t make all of these live. there is a recording of the practice from the first day which you can use as a guide to chant with) \nSunday 13th October\, 5-6.30pm BST – Closing Circle. \nPlease note times are UK BST\, however participation from all over the world is welcome and recordings will be available. \nThese daily sessions and opening circle start at 3pm New York\, 12pm California. The closing circle is 3 hours earlier. \n  \nABOUT YOUR HOST: \nAmisha Tala Oak has celebrated Navartri since she was a child. In her cultural tradition\, the women gather for nine nights of dance called Garba\, where they dance with special sticks and celebrate. This is celebrated in this way by Gujaratri women and the name is derived from the Sanskrit term Garbha (“womb”) and Deep (“a small earthenware lamp”). A lamp and statues of the goddess are placed in the centre as the dancers circle around. It’s always been a special time of celebration\, being with women of all generations and wearing her favourite saris. As a yoga and meditation teacher\, Navaratri took on new meaning as she felt the power in the subtle fields of this time of year\, as a time of renewal\, courage and empowerment. Amisha loves sharing the myth of Durga and this battle as the awakening of the inner activist in all of us\, that is powered by love. This is a time for the slaying of our inner demons\, and for rising up in our personal lives and the way we contribute to the collective. For spring Navarati 2020 which was just after lockdown was announced in the UK\, Amisha went offline and into silence for the whole of the festival and wrote the nine principles for her book\, Intuition. It is always a potent time. Amisha is an intuitive therapist who works with energy and subconscious patterns with her clients which she supports with sessions and beautiful leadership mentoring.  She is also the author of the collaborative book The Future Is Beautiful and host of the globally acclaimed podcast\, All That We Are. \nwww.amisha.co.uk // www.allthatweare.org \n  \nTHE COST: \nWe are offering this on a sliding scale\, please pay what you can. \n£108 / £68 (for the discounted option use the code NAV108 and only use this if you truly need it to take part) \nJOIN US – BOOK HERE URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/navaratri-practice-myth-mantra-and-meditation/ LOCATION:online CATEGORIES:Meditation,Yoga ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Kali.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="a m i s h a":MAILTO:takeamoment@amisha.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240821T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240821T200000 DTSTAMP:20260419T114358 CREATED:20240711T150707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240711T151007Z UID:6522-1724270400-1724270400@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:All That We Are - SoulSpace "Needs Not Met" DESCRIPTION:In these times it is crucial we make space for our Souls. We cannot be disconnected from our true self and the divine quality within us. With so much distraction all the time from our technology\, the culture wars\, demands of late stage capitalism on our time\, advances in artificial intelligence making the world more transhuman\, and more toxicity in our environment and food – we have to keep ourselves present. It is this connection to our Souls that allows us to be loving\, and live the beauty of life in the challenging moments as well as being open to the miraculous. We are living through a great transition\, a time of peak duality\, that asks for our full attention\, participation and a level of divine detachment so we can be embodied in the way we show up for ourselves\, others and the earth. \nToday the theme is “Needs Not Met” as we explore how to thrive in a culture where your core needs are not met. \nThe format: \n– Opening Stillness & Collective Prayer \n– Exploration of the theme (Amisha) \n– Open circle for you to share on this theme (not recorded) \n– Energy Activation where collectively we transmute fear\, guilt and shame – planting new seeds of possibility on an energetic level \nThis is a monthly opportunity for members of “all that we are”/ presence collective to gather with podcast host and author Amisha Ghadiali\, for a nourishing and inspiring experience. \nThese sessions create a community space for the soul (where we don’t have to play algorithms to see or hear each other). We can just be together\, in the field of our fullness with healing arts practices and conversations that are supportive and uplifting. \nThis space is free to members\, and it’s possible to join as a one off. We ask that you come for the whole session to deepen the space we co-create. \nThe ‘Soul Space’ sessions are deeply powerful offering a space where we can activate what we explore in the podcast as a community; creating deep ripples of transformation and possibility in the world. \nTo join this\, please become a member of “all that we are” – you can find out how here\, www.allthatweare.org/support (or purchase a one off ticket here). If you are joining the membership to attend this session\, please join at least 90 mins before this event. \nMembers get a choice of different rates\, plus access to the whole library of workshops and resources\, discounts to events and the community group. \n+ Tickets: buy your ticket here (if not a member) \nThis Month’s Session: \nSunday June 9th \n8-9.30 PM UK // 3.30 PM New York // 12 PM Los Angeles // 9 PM Paris // 12:30 AM Mumbai // 3 AM Bali // 7 AM Auckland URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/all-that-we-are-soulspace-needs-not-met/ LOCATION:online CATEGORIES:All That We Are,Community,Meditation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/467a1d97-643d-434d-ac86-b97259298fbd-e1714646649388.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20190313T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20190320T120000 DTSTAMP:20260419T114358 CREATED:20180905T090018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190225T111026Z UID:4983-1552492800-1553083200@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:Into the Heart of Yoga - Seva Retreat with Ramana's Garden in Rishikesh India DESCRIPTION:March 13-20th 2019  \nYoga. Service. Pilgrimage   \nHave you ever wanted to travel to India and actually make a difference? Here is an incredible opportunity to visit the birthplace of yoga where the holy river Ganga runs through\, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern India and actually give back in a real and needed way. \nWe will be working with Ramana’s Garden which is an incredible children’s home\, refuge\, school and organic cafe which provides support\, care and education to over 200 of India’s most vulnerable children giving them unbelievable opportunities to break the cycle of poverty\, abuse and homelessness and bring their gifts into the world. \nIf you feel a longing in your heart to serve\, and want to go on an adventure – this is for you. Rise up as a spiritual activist and join us in India. \n \n  \nIt will be a small and intimate group\, and we will spend seven days in the children’s home in Rishikesh – supporting the kids\, playing\, helping out with the opportunity to also explore the city. This whole journey will be supported by other aspects of yoga as well karma yoga including asana\, meditation\, mantra\, spiritual teachings and sharing circles so that it is a fully held process and journey of discovery. This is an incredible opportunity to understand the true depths of yoga as well as visit India in a meaningful\, eye and heart opening way. This will be a life changing experience for everybody who takes part. \n  \n \n  \nWhat is Karma Yoga? \nKarma yoga is the yoga of action – it is an important aspect of the yogic path which means giving in service to the world as a form of devotion to something bigger than yourself. It means doing something beautiful just because – not for any reward or personal gain. Seva in sanskrit means selfless service. Although the reality of seva in my experience (Amisha) is that it never is truly self-less although you may have that intention as giving to others feels good and is a very healing and transformative action. There is an innate heart opening and feeling of satisfaction which often occurs with service. Gandhi famously said “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” This is yoga – volunteering your time\, and giving your energy and love to these amazing kids. \n \nWhy are we doing this?  \n“I have been interested for a long time in how we travel and make a difference. Travel is such a perspective changing adventure that can literally bring down walls inside of us and in the world as it challenges us to meet ourselves and redefine our understanding of race and borders. As yoga continues to grow and spread in the world\, more and more people want to visit India as part of their spiritual journey\, it brings about questions and cultural appropriation and the effects of spiritual tourism. I have for some time wanted to make my retreats more sustainable and impactful in the local communities – so that as well as our inner transformation work\, we can make a difference. We have to understand that we are of a “travelling class” that not everyone in the world is and so it’s important that we use this in a way that really holds respect. \nI feel that with our overloaded western lifestyles\, retreats are an important way of going deeper and re-setting our patterns\, and from spending much time in India I feel that there are experiences that you can only have there. Being in India and surrounded by the culture that yoga came from\, brings the inner understanding to light in a more intense and beautiful way. And yet many travel to this and neighbouring countries and live a lifestyle that is actually quite selfish\, failing to engage with the reality around them. In India it is estimated that over one billion people live below the poverty line – there are many children that do not have access to our basic human needs such as somewhere safe to live\, clean water to drink and access to education. If you love yoga\, and you want to understand more about India\, this is an incredible way to give back to those that really need it\, in a safe and supported way. I love this notion showing up with our head\, heart and hands. It’s with our hands that we give.” Amisha Ghadiali \n \n  \nAbout Ramana’s Garden: \nRamana’s Garden is a children’s refuge\, home\, school and organic café situated in the beautiful North Indian city of Rishikesh. Located between mountains at the bank of the holy River Ganga (Ganges)\, Ramana’s was founded by Prabhavati Dwabha more than 20 years ago as a refuge for children at risk of poverty and abuse in India and Nepal. Approximately 70 kids live full time at Ramana’s Garden\, and more than 200 kids attend school at Ramana’s each day during the school year. \nThe children who live in Ramana’s Garden have been determined to be ‘at risk’. Each child that comes through this gate arrives because they would be at risk of either being murdered\, forced into prostitution\, child labour\, begging\, starvation or total neglect otherwise. Ramana’s Garden takes these children in and gives them a loving home\, family and education so they have the opportunity to become independent and functioning adults\, securing themselves a valuable position in society. \nStill today\, millions of Indian children are in dangerous circumstances due to having been born into the cycle of poverty\, ignorance\, and homelessness. Ramana’s Garden is working to rescue as many of them as possible and the need is prominent. With your help\, we believe that we can make a difference one child at a time. \nTheir goals are to: \n\nEmpower and encourage every child growing up at Ramana’s to be able to take risks and grow into an integrated unique human being.\nInstill in every child at Ramana’s Garden a sense of well-being and compassion for their fellow travellers on this journey through life.\nEnsure every child studying or living in Ramana’s Garden will enter the job market with sufficient skills to secure a valuable position for themselves.\n\n \nThe Details: \nWe arrive and meet in Rishikesh on March 13th. (We have had to cancel the part up on the farm in the mountains due to extreme snow). \nIf any of you wish to volunteer for longer\, we can discuss this with Dwabha and make it happen\, just let us know! \nEach day we will practice yoga and mediation together\, and spend time volunteering. You can take your practice off the mat\, and into the world. \nThis will include: \n\ndaily yoga asana sessions (including mythology\, mantra and mudra)\ndaily mediation\nsharing circles\nsatsung\nkarma yoga\ndelicious nutritious organic local farmed meals\nadventure time to explore\na community of like-minded volunteers from across the world\n\n \nRishikesh:  \nFrom March 13th-20th we will be staying in Rishikesh\, where our focus will be sharing our love and attention with these beautiful children at Ramana’s Gardens. We will ask you to bring an activity that is close to your heart and is creative and engaging. For example you might teach them a dance or a song\, share yoga with them\, bring your favourite games from your country\, or make some beautiful art. \nWhilst we are in Rishikesh\, we will also: \n\nvisit The “Beatles” Ashram (ashram of Yogi Maharishi Mahesh)\nbathe in the Holy River Ganga\nattending Satsung and Kirtan with world renowned teachers\ntake part in the Aarti Puja on the River Ganga\nexplore temples\, ashrams\, shops and cafes\nperhaps take a day or even an overnight trip to a beautiful organic nature village nearby\n\n \n \n \n  \nThe Food: \nAll of the food is organic or sustainably sourced\, much of it grown in the gardens. Local cheeses\, organic eggs\, homemade chutneys and jams\, our own olive oil and fresh fruit and vegetables are always readily available. \n  \n \n  \nThe Price: \nTo join this retreat the cost is £555 (this is for all whether you wish to stay with us or have you own accommodation in Rishikesh already). \nYou will need to organise your own travel to India\, visa\, and internal travel to Rishikesh. Although we will help arrange taxis and airport meet ups to make this as easy as possible. \nYou will also pay for your own accommodation in our local guesthouse which is roughly £20 a night for single room and £10 to share\, and your lunch and dinner which are approx £5 a meal. \nIf you are able to make a donation to Ramana’s\, you can do this by sponsoring a child or making a larger donation to Ramana’s Garden. You will also be asked to bring various simple things that Ramana’s need such as clothing and medical supplies. So expect to be asked to buy these things and save half of your suitcase space for this! \n \n  \nAccommodation: \nIf you wish to stay with us\, we will be in a local guesthouse called Hotel Grace Ganga\, close to the Children’s Home with views of the mountains and River Ganga. \n \n \nThe Details:  \nWe will be able to check into our rooms in the afternoon of the 13th and will then meet as a group around 4.30pm. We will finish around lunchtime on the 20th\, but you may wish to stay that night for Holi celebrations. \n  \nThe Replenish Effect: \nIt is important that our retreats bring benefit and expansion to all who are involved. We don’t just want you to fly in\, taxi straight to the retreat centre and then leave the country. We make our retreats meaningful in the local community by building partnerships\, supporting independently run businesses and doing all the little things that make a big difference\, like helping you offset the carbon for your travel. This retreat is run fully as a seva retreat with the utmost care taken in terms of our impact in the local community and cultural appropriation. \n  \nThe International Yoga Festival (optional): \n \n  \nMarch 1-7th. The International Yoga Festival is a beautiful seven day immersion held on the banks of the River Ganga at Parmath Niketan Ashram. You have the opportunity to learn from both Indian swamis\, teachers and masters as well as revered international teachers in amongst a community of around 2000 yogis. You stay in the ashram\, getting a taste of the beauty of ashram life as well as being uplifted\, inspired and awakened by the practices\, ceremonies and musical performances. \nMore information here – www.internationalyogafestival.org \nHoli – Festival of Colour (optional): \nHoli this year will also be right at the end of our retreat! This will take place on the 21st March but the fun will start on the evening of the 20th. \nHoli is a spring festival that essentially celebrates the triumph of good over evil. Coinciding with the end of winter and the beginning of a new season\, it is treated as a time to give thanks for a good harvest. It is also considered a time to come together and end any conflicts you might have in your relationships with others. \nEveryone will be out on the streets\, throwing colours and playing. It’s something beautiful to see and be part of – especially with the kids! \n \nPrabhavati Dwabha on The Future Is Beautiful Podcast: \n \nEarlier this year\, Amisha interviewed Dwabha (the founder of Ramana’s Garden) about her story and the importance of giving. \n“Life is better if you are honestly doing your best to make a difference for another being. If you know that in living your life – however you are – you are also making a significant  difference for others who would otherwise have no chance… You live different\, you feel different\, you are different.”~ Prabhavati Dwabha \nE34 – Prabhavati Dwabha on Child Poverty\, Education and Philanthropy \nBreaking the cycle of poverty\, ignorance\, and homelessness \nHow can one person make a difference to overwhelming poverty and suffering? \n \nYou can find out more about this interview and the podcast\, here. \n  \nAbout Amisha: \n“I came to Amisha’s retreat to learn more about the practice of YOGA. She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga. I will take her knowledge with me for the rest of my life. She is warm\, wise and lovely.” Aemilia\, Film Producer \n“Amisha is a gifted yoga teacher that shows her knowledge of both the spiritual and the physical side of yoga\, and teaches both brilliantly. This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!”  Paul\, Entrepreneur \n“Amisha is a breath of fresh air!! She is kind\, gentle\, loving and full of light energy. Taking her mantra workshop at Bali Spirit Fest genuinely changed my practice and I thank her everyday for how she has helped me grow!” Ally\, Entrepreneur \n \nAmisha Ghadiali\, is an award-winning social entrepreneur whose career has included demanding roles in the political\, sustainability and tech start-up worlds. She combines this experience of managing a high pressure lifestyle with her deep knowledge of sustainable living\, mindfulness and yoga. \nWith a love of yoga and meditation that has spanned over a decade\, her own “burn out” whilst “trying to save the world” led her into training as a yoga and meditation teacher\, which in turn opened a giant rabbit hole deeper into the mystical realms. In addition to over 1000 hours of teacher training in Yoga & Meditation\, she has trained as a priestess\, reiki master and intuitive energy healer. She brings all this depth and her fascination with the relationship of our inner and outer worlds\, to her work. \nAmisha has used these practices in her own life to work with trauma including recovering from being run over by a pick-up truck. She has lived that typical stressful city life\, and found that bringing a soulful healthy approach to her every day made things much more rewarding and balanced. She set up the leadership programme – Presence Mentoring to assist you in creating space to show up for yourself each day and to facilitate the formation of lifelong habits that will support and nurture your inner and outer connections. \nHer teachers include Sianna Sherman and Sally Kempton\, as well as annual trips to her motherland of India\, learning from Swamis and Sadhus. Amisha is of Indian origin\, with a Hindu mother and a Jain father. She has grown up influenced by both these traditions and their practices and rituals. \n\nAmisha is a writer and speaker on all aspects of conscious and green living. Her words have appeared in publications including The Huffington Post\, Rebelle Society & Ecouterre. She edited the collaborative book\, The Future Is Beautiful – A Collection from Think Act Vote\,  coining the term Creative Activism and bringing together ideas and artwork from over two hundred contributors to inspire a brighter future. Amisha has spoken or facilitated workshops at events and festivals around the world such as TEDx Oxbridge\, Sunday Papers Live & Burning Man. \n\nAmisha hosts The Future Is Beautiful Podcast which explores the weave between politics\, spirituality\, sustainability and creativity\, so we can come out of our silos – and bring more of who we are to our lives. These inspiring conversations also look into the darkness and difficulties of modern life and challenging the status quo\, providing comfort and a grounded optimism. Previous guests have included Charles Eisenstein\, Samantha Roddick\, Satish Kumar\, Sally Kempton and Bruce Parry. \nAmisha is delighted to be offering this retreat in her motherland of India\, where both her parents are from. She has grown up learning to understand the bridge between Indian and Western culture. Amisha has spent extensive time in India since she was a child learning about her heritage\, this combined with growing up in the UK and working in the US\, she is able to offer an international perspective to yoga\, combined with a native heart. \nHow to Book: \nIf you have any questions or would like to reserve a place\, please contact Amisha on takeamoment@amisha.co.uk URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/service-retreat-in-rishikesh-india/ CATEGORIES:Meditation,Retreats,Yoga ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/screenshot-2019-02-25-at-14.50.08.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20181121T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20191119T170000 DTSTAMP:20260419T114359 CREATED:20181121T022546Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190414T065544Z UID:5132-1542787200-1574182800@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:Private Intuitive Therapy Sessions DESCRIPTION:I offer one to one sessions both in person and on skype. \nIntuitive Therapy is a powerful tool which works on physical\, emotional\, psychological and spiritual levels. During one of my personal sessions we do a complete clearing of your energetic fields and balance the energy flow in your body. We go into the root cause of traumas\, blockages & issues in your subconscious that are effecting you in the present and are ready to be released. We create new tools\, re-wire your neural pathways and develop qualities within you to give you a fresher and more potent perspective on your self and your behaviour patterns. \nThis is a form of energy healing – but I prefer to use intuitive therapy as I feel the work is a collaborative process between the two of us. \nPlease see here for more information – www.amisha.co.uk/intuitive-energy-healing/ \nFor in person sessions – \nUbud\, Bali – April/May 2019 \nLondon\, UK – July 2019 \nTo request more information and make a booking\, please fill out this enquiry form.

And in the last century\, we have had incredible knowledge literally pouring into every orifice from schools of Western psychology and the human sciences. \n  \nOur biggest challenge now is this: \nHow can we take this kaleidoscope of wisdom and knowledge\, and use it in a practical\, playful and grounded way to build a more beautiful future? \nHow can we alchemise our individual and collective wounds into the gold of compassionate action? \n  \nWe feel this is a pretty important question in a world obsessed with SELF-help. We want to build a sturdy\, inspiring bridge between ‘self’ and ‘other’. \nWe want to move from blame culture to empowered\, creative\, and hopeful action. We want to transform our grief and shame at the state of the world into a super-inspiring\, practical vision. \nWe want to move beyond spiritual bypassing\, narcissism\, tourism and materialism – and instead really embody our values\, starting with the community we find ourself in. \nThis is not easy work\, it’s the road less travelled. If you are looking for escapism\, this isn’t for you. We ain’t getting high. But we are showing up with rolled up sleeves and a sense of humour as we unlearn what we think we know and explore these questions together. \n‘We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.’ (Hopi Elders) \nBook Tickets Here \n  \nDay Retreat – 10am til 5pm \nOur backdrop is the stunningly beautiful\, deeply sacred chapel in Fitzrovia\, London – the perfect place to spend a Sunday. \nThe day is split into two halves: inner and outer. We will start and finish the day with a circle where we’ll each have the opportunity to share what is present for us\, and explore the question together with open hearts and minds. \nWe begin going inside. Amisha will lead an alchemical yoga session guiding us to bring love to our personal and collective wounds as they present themselves in our bodies. Louis will then guide an extended transpersonal meditation which will allow us to connect with the deep healing intelligence of Life\, and kindle our fiery activist hearts. We’ll then hold a grief ritual that will allow us to release our wounds – both personal and collective.   \nIn the afternoon\, we will build a golden bridge from the inner to the outer\, tapping into the creativity and compassion of our activist hearts. We’ll be taking our personal insights and revelations from the morning and using them to create practical\, beautiful tools that we can use to make a radical difference in the world around us. \n  \nThis day is for you if you at times get fed up by the state of the world\, if you feel that the time is ripe to translate our spiritual work into practical\, compassionate action\, and if you want to find a more empowered way to contribute\, connecting with an amazing bunch of people who can support and hold you in this process. \n  \n“It is always from our deepest wound\, from the thing that breaks our heart the most\, that our yearning\, our calling\, our purpose in life emerges.” ~Vera de Chalambert \n  \nRough programme: (this might evolve & change on the day) \n10-11am: Opening Circle \n11-12pm: Yoga with Amisha \n12-12.45pm: Meditation with Louis \n12.45-1.15pm: Grief Ritual \n1.15-2.15pm: Lunch \n2.15-4.30pm: Sacred Activism Workshop \n4.30-5pm: Closing Circle \n  \nEvening Event – 6.15pm til 8.45pm \nBring your songs and words of hope\, freedom and grief.

Fascinated by the connection between our inner and outer worlds\, she facilitates retreats\, workshops and one to one sessions. Her “Presence Mentoring” leadership programme uses intuitive therapy to clear subconscious patterning and awaken new qualities within\, as well as focusing on integration and maintaining a daily practice. Her retreats and workshops are deep and playful dives into the practices\, intimacy and the self – with mantra\, yoga asana\, meditation\, mudra\, energy healing\, contemplation\, pranayama\, ritual\, dance and activism. Amisha’s words have appeared in publications including The Huffington Post\, Rebelle Society & Ecouterre and she has spoken at events and festivals around the world such as TEDx Oxbridge\, Sunday Papers Live & UnBox. \nIn addition she has been part of pioneering projects and social enterprises including: Ethical Fashion Forum\, Impact Hub\, Provenance\, Fashion Revolution and Compass.

Her background is in politics where she worked in parliament and the US congress – working on many campaigns including Make Poverty History\, The Yes Campaign (for AV)\, Fashion Revolution. She has volunteered on projects all over the world including facilitating UNA-Exchange projects working with kids in valleys of Wales\, to working with teenage orphans in Bulgaria to hosting retreats in India that combine service with spiritual practices.

He runs an inclusive spiritual community called Radical Alchemy\, and is cofounder of Bounce Works\, a social enterprise that uses playful design and digital technology to resolve the growing crisis in young people’s mental health. \n\nLouis first discovered meditation aged 10\, when he sat cross-legged on his spiderman duvet and realised that by focusing on his breath he could exert mind over matter. In his early 20s\, after reaching a crisis point\, he dedicated his life to service. His mission has been to empower people trapped on the edges of society\, from homeless young people\, to drug addicts in the criminal justice system. For four years\, he ran a therapeutic education provision for some of London’s most troubled teens. He went on to develop a mindfulness programme for kids with complex trauma\, was invited to consult Headspace on their mindfulness for kids offering\, and has in the last few years specialised in working with grief and people at the end of life.\n\nLouis has travelled extensively\, studying wisdom traditions from around the world\, including both personal and academic studies of Postcolonial Political Psychology\, Surrealist philosophy\, indigenous wisdom traditions\, and studying with meditation masters\, yogis and indigenous wisdom-keepers in Asia\, South America and Europe. However\, he has learned the most from the clients he has worked with\, those human beings that found the courage to transform their suffering into compassionate action-in-the-world\, often in spite of extreme\, traumatising\, soul-restricting environments. \n\nLouis’ work and writings have featured in the BBC\, The Guardian\, You Magazine\, ITV News\, Evening Standard. He co-wrote a bestselling book about rituals with his wife called The Inner Beauty Bible\, published by Harper Collins\, and now translated into 3 languages. \nwww.louisweinstock.com \n  \nFitzrovia Chapel: \n \n \nBook Tickets Here URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/alchemy-activism/ LOCATION:Fitzrovia Chapel\, London\, W1T 3BF CATEGORIES:Meditation,Retreats,Speaking,The Future Is Beautiful,Yoga ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/alchemy-activism-at-fitzrovia-chapel.png ORGANIZER;CN="The Future Is Beautiful":MAILTO:connect@thefutureisbeautiful.co END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180120T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180120T170000 DTSTAMP:20260419T114359 CREATED:20180105T204427Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180115T130952Z UID:4757-1516453200-1516467600@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:Wild Grace Half Day Retreat DESCRIPTION:Come together in community on a cold january saturday afternoon to retreat and recharge.

They first bonded over nearly having the same name\, and then as their journeys unfolded found a mutual love and motivation towards the discovery of yoga as both dedicated teachers and students. They have spent time in India together visiting temples and deepening their practice and continue to inspire and compliment one another with their passion and curiosity to challenge themselves\, each other and their students towards growth. \n \nAbout Mischa: \n“The retreat was a sweet breath of fresh air. Mischa is a truly inspiring teacher who in four short days has helped me deepen my relationship to yoga and further the spiritual connection to my physical practice.” Loren\, Music Producer \n“I can’t express the transformation I experienced in both body and mind the retreat with Mischa.  She truly is an inspirational teacher.  What a blessing to have a whole week with her!  As a teacher myself\, I recognise the hard work and dedication that goes into these retreats and I can only say that Mischa has a true gift for sharing her strong\, soulful yoga in a way that truly connects you back to your root and to the universe as a whole.  I learnt so much about myself and about the beautiful gift that is Yoga.  Her energy is so nurturing and her passion and dedication to the practice shines through. I cannot wait for the next one! Thank you Mischa\, for continuing to inspire me on my journey.” Sally-Anne\, Yoga Teacher \n  \nMischa’s yoga journey began over a decade ago and slowly began to weave its way through her life; she is continually humbled and inspired by the potential of yoga to transform\, expand and heal and is devoted to sharing the practice with others.  She is a 500 hour trained teacher\, most recently finishing a 300 hour training with her teacher Sianna Sherman who is of enormous influence and inspiration to her. She has now stepped into apprenticeship with Sianna and assists on her workshops and trainings. Mischa has spent over a year in India studying\, practicing and visiting sacred sites and it holds a special place in her heart. \nHer teaching is heartfelt and creative with a deep focus on breath and alignment and a combination of strong steady flow and longer holds to both uplift and tap into the stillness. She practices both the Astanga Mysore method and Iyengar to support her asana practice\, but is most inspired to share the creativity of vinyasa and hatha flow which allow her the freedom to explore the infinite possibilities of the practice. She draws her understanding from a number of styles and traditions\, particularly inspired by the philosophy and practices of the Tantric lineage. Her classes are woven with philosophy\, myth and stories and include music\, chanting and ritual.  She is also influenced by her studies and training in the Priestess tradition and extensive travels to both Asia\, Indonesia and South America. \nMischa works with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage\, a beautiful combination of deep tissue massage with assisted yoga stretches and alignment\, and Reiki to support the physical and energetic healing process. She is also fully trained in Naturopathy and Nutritional Therapy which she integrates into her holistic approach in practicing and sharing the teachings and supporting individuals on their journey towards greater wellbeing. \nMischa is currently based in London teaching across some of the leading studios but continues to travel for study\, practice and teaching. Her teaching is passionate and knowledgeable\, her intention is to both challenge and restore\, holding a space for individuals to open\, reflect and absorb and you will be taken on a journey of self inquiry and unfolding. \n  \n \nAbout Amisha: \n“I came to Amisha’s retreat to learn more about the practice of YOGA. She taught me how to open up more and be in the moment. I loved how she created a space for the whole group to feel at home and safe. She really made me fall in love with Yoga. I will take her knowledge with me for the rest of my life. She is warm\, wise and lovely.” Aemilia\, Film Producer \n“Amisha is a gifted yoga teacher that shows her knowledge of both the spiritual and the physical side of yoga\, and teaches both brilliantly. This retreat was life changing and I still hear her voice singing mantras in my head!”  Paul\, Entrepreneur \nWith a love of yoga and meditation that has spanned over a decade\, Amisha Ghadiali’s own “burn out” led her to train as a teacher\, which in turn opened a giant rabbit hole into the mystical realms. Her classes are strong yet relaxing\, focused on clear alignment and moving from the heart. She has a calming presence and uses playful theming\, mantra and experience of exploring world wisdom traditions\, to leave her students with inspiration\, grounding and joy they can bring into their daily lives. \nAmisha is a 500 hour certified Yoga teacher after completing her advanced teacher training with Sianna Sherman\, and is a modern day priestess\, reiki master and intuitive energy healer. Her background is in politics and sustainable fashion\, and since 2006 she has been designing jewellery for her own label with the tagline “elegance rebellion.” She creates meaningful pieces such as malas for chanting\, made with precious gemstones. She brings all this awareness and her fascination with the relationship of our inner and outer worlds\, to her work. \nAmisha has used these practices in her own life to work with trauma including recovering from being run over by a pick-up truck. She has lived that typical stressful city life\, and found that bringing a soulful healthy approach to her every day made things much more rewarding and balanced. She recently founded Replenish\, where she leads retreats and works one-on-one through her mentoring programme to assist you in creating space to show up for yourself each day and to facilitate the formation of lifelong habits that will support and nurture your inner and outer connections. \nAmisha is also a writer and speaker on all aspects of conscious and green living. A big part of her ‘yoga’ is exploring how we relate to the world around us and embody our values.  She edited the collaborative book\, The Future Is Beautiful – A Collection from Think Act Vote\, coining the term Creative Activism and bringing together ideas and artwork from over two hundred contributors to inspire a brighter future. Her words have appeared in publications including The Huffington Post\, Rebelle Society & Ecouterre and she has spoken at events and festivals around the world such as TEDx Oxbridge\, Sunday Papers Live & Burning Man. \nHow to Book: \nIf you have any questions or like to reserve your place\, please contact Amisha on takeamoment@amisha.co.uk or Mischa on info@mischavarmuza.com \n  URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/heart-transformation-retreat-bali-indonesia/ LOCATION:Bali\, Indonesia CATEGORIES:Meditation,Retreats,Ritual,Yoga ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/15442136_10154142622537283_6514974663368910258_n.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Amisha Yoga & Meditation ":MAILTO:takeamoment (at) amisha.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20170111T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20170113T170000 DTSTAMP:20260419T114359 CREATED:20161228T172810Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161228T172810Z UID:4646-1484121600-1484326800@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:Goddess Awakening Ritual - Woman Healing Festival Goa DESCRIPTION:Meet within the Indian Goddesses Lakshmi\, Sawaswati\, Durga and Kali as we will awaken their potent qualities inside of ourselves through this ritual.

This one is a black moon\, as it’s the second new moon in one month. In the UK\, the exact point of the moon is 1.11 on Saturday morning\, so we will gather and set our intentions just before it hits this point. This month has been a very powerful month of transformation\, and part of our gathering will be sharing stories. \nThis is a new moon in Libra which connects “through the realms of ideas\, relationships and interactions. Libra’s symbol is the scales of justice. It is a sign that seeks balance\, harmony and equality. Libra wants us to remember that connected to one another\, we are greater than the institutions that want to keep us separate.” \n\nA new moon is the start of a new cycle\, a powerful time to gather in community and set intentions so that we can move into this cycle empowered with grace and clear intentions.\n\nI have been tuning in with the moons cycles for a few years now\, after realising that I was being effected by the different energies of the ever changing moon\, it became empowering to understand what was happening so I could evolve with the moons cycles rather than against them. We know the moon affects the tides\, and we are made mostly of water\, so it can impact us more than we realise.\n\nA ritual is coming together in sacred space\, so we can really honour the moment that we are in. I love making a fuss\, and pulling together different things we can do to fully show up for it. This is my kind of party. I bring together the work of the priestess\, with yoga\, mediation and intuitive energy healing.\n\nFor this new moon\, we will share\, chant\, meditate\, set intentions\, move our bodies and close with a group healing savasana.\n\nIt’s pay as you like. Register here to reserve your place and for full address details.\nI changed it from cash donations\, to paying online as I have had a few no shows recently and we have limited space for these events.\n\nSign up – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/new-moon-ritual-black-moon-in-libra-tickets-28190170559 URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/new-moon-ritual-black-moon-libra/ LOCATION:Shiva In The Sky\, Highbury\, London\, N5 1BA\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Meditation,Ritual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/new-moon.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Amisha Yoga & Meditation ":MAILTO:takeamoment (at) amisha.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20160906T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20160906T213000 DTSTAMP:20260419T114359 CREATED:20160830T174601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160905T100444Z UID:4439-1473188400-1473197400@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:Yoga & Daal with Mischa Varmuza DESCRIPTION:An evening of yoga practices\, meditation and food at Shiva in the Sky. \nJoin Amisha and Mischa for a 90 minute practice followed by a guided meditation and sweet relaxation. \nAfterwards we will share food and tea together. \nIf anyone is interested in joining us for the weekend retreat in October this will also be a perfect opportunity to experience some of the practices and ask us any questions. \nSuggested donation – £15 \nBook here URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/yoga-daal-mischa-varmuza/ LOCATION:Shiva In The Sky\, Highbury\, London\, N5 1BA\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Community,Meditation,Retreats,Yoga ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/yoga-daal.png ORGANIZER;CN="Amisha Yoga & Meditation ":MAILTO:takeamoment (at) amisha.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20160903T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20160910T120000 DTSTAMP:20260419T114359 CREATED:20160403T104421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160701T000719Z UID:4296-1472904000-1473508800@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:Greek Island Soul - Yoga & Meditation Beach Retreat DESCRIPTION:Come and bliss out for a whole week on the magical isle of Paros with yoga\, meditation and basking in the sunshine. \nEnjoy the crystal clear waters\, a slow pace of life\, and breathtaking views.

I am taking a lot of energy away from the class which carries me over the week. Only drawback? I might find it difficult to go back to a normal ‘run-of-the-mill’ class after this!” Annett \nWhy do I teach yoga? \nWith a love of yoga for that has spanned over a decade\, I took the natural next step in doing my teacher training. Making yoga a central part of my life has led to profound shifts in the freedom and empowerment I feel in both my body and ‘off the mat’. I have been amazed at how yoga has healed long term injuries I thought were for life\, and created clarity and clearness in my mind. \nI enjoy sharing this sweet practice with the over worked\, over stressed folks of London\, (of which I was one for many years!). I studied a form of Hatha Yoga called Anusara which means “flowing with nature”. My classes are strong\, focusing on clear alignment\, with deep relaxation at the end. \nWhat I love about yoga is that it really is for everybody. It doesn’t matter what age you are or how ‘fit’ or flexible you are. Everyone that shows up finds something that they are looking for (and normally something they didn’t expect). Whether it is freedom from pain\, great sleep\, emotional stability\, deeper authenticity\, strength\, self-acceptance\, fearlessness\, or something else\, yoga can help you create and live the life that you want. \n“Amisha knows her yoga upside-down and inside-out\, she is playful and brings so much more to her classes than the average teacher. I ain’t a yoga bunny but LOVE what she does. She is deeply connected to all things divine and just being in her presence is worth it\, trust me.” Lucy \n“I always look forward to yoga with Amisha\, her energy is calming and nurturing and her classes uplift my mind and spirit as much as my body!” Ali \n****  To Book please fill out this form or e-mail takeamoment(at)amisha.co.uk **** URL:https://amisha.co.uk/event/monday-night-candlelit-yoga-meditation-autumn-course/ LOCATION:Choolips Studio\, Whitechapel\, London\, E1\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Meditation,Yoga ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://amisha.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Amisha-Autumn-Monday-Yoga.png ORGANIZER;CN="Amisha Yoga & Meditation ":MAILTO:takeamoment (at) amisha.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20150901T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20150906T190000 DTSTAMP:20260419T114359 CREATED:20150826T121908Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150826T182300Z UID:3957-1441094400-1441566000@amisha.co.uk SUMMARY:Burning Man: Dreamer's Playground Yoga & Meditation DESCRIPTION:We are Dreamers.
