About this Event
Sixty minutes for the long lost art of listening.
What to expect
Tea on arrival, low light, quadrophonic sound and our aerial relaxation hammocks, all there to wake up your senses and give you nothing else to do but listen.
We start on the ground with some down-regulating breathwork and a short meditation, enough to drop your heart rate and bring your attention out of your head and back into your body. Once you’ve landed, you climb into your hammock and spend the rest of the hour with the words, sounds and music of East Forest.
Who is East Forest
East Forest is a musician, producer and ceremony guide who has been making music since 2008, weaving ambient, neoclassical and electronic into something Rolling Stone called lush and NPR called blissful. Thirty albums in, he has worked with Jon Hopkins, Laraaji, Nick Mulvey, Max Cooper and, most famously, Ram Dass, whose spoken word sits inside the music. So you get words as well as sound.
He writes specifically for ceremony and inner journeying, improvising each piece until it finds its own shape. He teaches at the Esalen Institute, hosts the Ten Laws podcast and made the film Music for Mushrooms.
Asked once where he’d most want people to hear his music, he didn’t mention a venue. He just wanted people to stop multitasking and listen “with all of your ears”. That is exactly what this hour is for.
Why the hammocks
The hammock takes your whole body weight, so there’s no load on your spine and nothing to hold up. The fabric wraps you from every side with the same steady pressure that makes a weighted blanket feel so good. And then there’s the sway. It’s why we rock babies to sleep, and why nobody in history has stayed awake in a garden hammock. It works just as well on grown adults.
With all three doing their thing, your body has very little left to manage. The tension in your back, neck and shoulders lets go, and everything frees up for the music. Most people sleep beautifully that night.
Details

bout We The Conscious
We The Conscious is the UK's only breath-led multidisciplinary studio with aerial relaxation hammocks, in the heart of Hackney, East London.
We take breathwork very seriously, because we know the profound impact it has on your health, body and mind. Your breath holds the power to regulate your nervous system, shift your state and unlock deep change. We use it to its full spectrum, as a functional daily tool for stress, anxiety, sleep and focus, and as a somatic tool to intentionally process, transform, release and recalibrate your system and your subconscious mind.
We exist to help people reconnect with their bodies and live more consciously, in a way that feels grounded and welcoming. From weekly classes to breathwork sessions, retreats, community socials and volunteering days, We The Conscious is a place to breathe, connect and belong.
The We The Conscious Method is a breath-driven somatic practice that takes you past the physical and into deeper levels of awareness and consciousness. Breath, movement, vocal toning, curated music and aromatherapy, calling on every sense to activate your body's natural healing process, creating space for emotional regulation, stress release and connection to the intelligence of your body.
Every practice in the studio is shaped by it.
With over 30 classes per week and workshops, the studio takes you from active workouts, to recovery sessions that regulate your nervous system, to deeper transformational sessions that help process trauma and past experiences. A place to reset, but also a space to strengthen your body, connect to your breath and tone. Classes span six pillars: Breathe, Sculpt, Move, Reset, Aerial and Sound.
Every detail, from the quadraphonic sound system to the skylight and our aerial hammocks, has been intentionally chosen to support busy minds, overstimulated bodies and the pace of daily life. A space to discover new practices, meet like-mineded people who are looking to live more consciously.
About the host
Liza Al Sady is the founder of We The Conscious. Her work is rooted in the breath, the body and the nervous system, drawing on Conscious Connected Breathwork, Neo-emotional Release and somatic practice to help people return to themselves. Sessions with Liza are intentional and trauma-informed, holding space for emotional recalibration, deep somatic release and nervous system regulation. She is the creator of the We The Conscious® Method, a sensory-rich journey combining breath, Neo-Emotional Release, psychosomatic, vocal toning, bodywork and curated music and frequencies.
Before We The Conscious, Liza spent over fifteen years in recruitment, living in overdrive. Burnout, disconnection and years of unprocessed trauma became the turning point. Breathwork was the way back in, and her work today carries that lived experience. She is trained in conscious connected breathwork, neo-emotional release, trauma-informed facilitation and somatic practices rooted in Jungian and ancestral work.
She also holds a Masters in Educational Management and a degree in Early Years teaching.
