::: NEW EVENT :::

Join Ourania for this meditation practice, welcoming stillness and silence.

This fully seated will offer a quiet space to be in uninterrupted meditation with others.

Designed for those with an established meditation practice, the session will be held in complete silence without verbal guidance or instruction.

Meditating in silence together weaves an unseen thread of presence and support, holding you deeper within the practice.

Please note: This class is not suitable for beginners and is intended for students who are confident meditating without external guidance.

This is also a wonderful addition to those who have previously attended the Japa meditation practice and are encouraged to bring their mala beads.

For more information or to book please head to the events page of our website.

It is a kind of love is it not? The way the cup holds the tea…

Thank you to everyone who joined in ceremony yesterday which was inspired by this very writing by Pat Schneider

The potent reflections are still being felt. What a blessing it is each and every time we get to sit together in patience and presence. What magical qualities to cultivate as a human in this life.

The next Tea Ceremony will be welcoming in a new year, held Sunday Jan 18th 1:30pm (booked out) & 4pm (taking bookings). To book head to the events page of our website.

With love,

There has been a real theme within the walls of the studio this past month - Homecoming.

The Greek word for homecoming is nostos. It was used in mythological tales to describe the return of a hero after a long arduous journey full of adventure. This got me thinking of how very much that same definition symbolises life. We go out into the world to explore, adventure and experience but it’s important to return, to come home in this instance, to ourselves.

What is also interesting is that the word Nostalgia combines the Greek words Nostos (homecoming) and Algos (pain).

It seems there was always this understanding of the depth of what home can represent….the grounding, comfort and joy existing alongside the pain, yearning and loss.

Yesterday I had the blessing of serving multiple private tea ceremonies at the studio ✨ The day ended with a group sitting to which on arrival I acknowledged the level of magic that has to happen for 10 people to come together, already that feels special.

The circle opened up with introductions for friends to meet and intentions and well wishes shared. We then sat in silence, shared tea and enjoyed the spaciousness and potency of being present together.

I read a passage yesterday that shared peaceful silence is the same feeling as clear air entering a breathless chest, and I couldn’t agree more

I am so grateful for the opportunities to share practice in this way 🍃 Tea ceremony literally speaks more than words ever could.

May the quiet of tea linger in your heart always,

Can my next breath be one that I receive rather than take?

This was the intention of our yin and sound events held at Ourano this afternoon. Giving spaciousness to our bodies, opening up channels for receptivity and offering freedom to ourselves in this moment. What a practice ✨

Thank you to all of those who joined me and I look forward to offering more of these again in the new year!
