About this Event
By December most of us are running on whatever is left. There's the work you're trying to finish before the break, the plans with everyone, the presents, and somewhere underneath all of it a whole year you haven't really had time to look at.
Making Room is a Sunday morning to stop and look back at it properly, and then decide what you're not taking with you into the next one.
Some of it might be obvious, like a habit, a worry you've been carrying since spring or a way of working that stopped working a while ago. Some of it you won't know until you're lying on the floor under a blanket and it comes up. Both are fine. You don't need to arrive with any answers.
What to expect
We start with tea and a short meditation to help you arrive and leave the week at the door.
Gentle yoga to get out of your head and back into your body after a long year.
Breathwork built around long, slow out breaths, a way of practising letting go with the body before we do it any other way.
A long yoga nidra, lying down and warm under a blanket. It's the deepest rest of the morning and usually the part people talk about on the way home.
Then, while you're still in that quiet place, a guided visualisation through your year. We'll walk through it month by month, a bit like walking through the rooms of a house you've lived in for twelve months. In each room you notice what's there, what you want to keep and what you're ready to leave behind. At the end you close the door on this year and step into the next one with only the things you've chosen to bring.
Straight afterwards you'll have time to write it all down: what you're letting go of, and what you want to make room for in 2027. What you write is yours, and nobody will ask you to read it out. If you like, you can fold up the part you're letting go of and leave it in the bowl on your way out.
We finish with tea and fresh pastries from August Bakery. It's the last one of the year and a lovely way to close it with people.
Your host
Lisa Lang is the founder of The Kindroot Space. She's a coach and teaches yoga, breathwork and yoga nidra.
Good to know
You don't need any experience and there's nothing to bring. Mats, bolsters and blankets are all here.
Wear something comfortable and warm, and bring socks for the nidra.
Everything is an invitation. You can sit instead of lying down, keep your eyes open or skip anything that doesn't feel right on the day.
Most people come on their own.
Spaces are limited.
