What is a Yoga Nidra Journey?

Yoga Nidra, often referred to as yogic sleep, is a guided meditation practised lying down in complete comfort. While the body rests deeply, the mind remains gently aware, allowing the nervous system to settle and creating space for deep relaxation, clarity and restoration.

Each Yoga Nidra journey with Vanessa Caruso (The Healing Promoter) is thoughtfully designed around a unique theme. Along the way, you will experience gentle breath awareness, grounding, healing frequencies, sound, visualisation and quiet reflection, creating a deeply restorative experience that nourishes your whole being.

No experience is necessary, just bring yourself, something warm and comfortable to wear and an open mind.

Saturday 15th August 2026

11:00am - 3:00pm

In a world that often pulls us into speed, noise and disconnection, this workshop is an invitation to slow down and centre through the senses.

Sensing Place is a 4 hour immersive experience held in nature, designed to gently guide you into presence, creativity and meaningful connection.

We begin by arriving together over warm tea and light nourishment, before moving into a guided meditation to settle the body and awaken awareness. From there, you’ll be led on a slow, sensory bush walk. An opportunity to notice, feel and gather what calls to you from the natural environment.

As we return, the space opens into an afternoon of quiet, intentional making. Using the materials you’ve collected, alongside thoughtfully provided elements, you’ll create your own sound chime. A personal object shaped by your experience of the day.

This is not about making something perfect.
It’s about noticing what you’re drawn to, what you’re holding and what you might be ready to release.

We close in a shared circle, allowing space to reflect, listen and integrate. 

Homemade food and warming beverages included.

You’ll leave with:

• a handcrafted sound chime to take home
• a deeper connection to your senses and surroundings
• a moment of pause in an otherwise full life

This workshop is for anyone feeling the need to slow down, reconnect and engage with creativity in a way that feels grounding, intuitive and real.

No creative experience is needed, just a willingness to show up as you are. All welcome.
