~ Azim Nobeebaccus ~ Our Guest Speaker ~
International Curandero | Plant Consciousness | Advanced body worker | Founder of Moksha Holistic Therapies
With near to 2 decades of experience exploring traditional plant medicines, indigenous healing practices and the relationship between nature and human consciousness, Azim's journey has taken him from the streets of London to the depths of the Peruvian Amazon.
Plant Consciousness – Remembering Our Connection
For this special New Year's Eve gathering, Azim invites us to explore the living intelligence of the natural world, the teachings of plants and trees, and what it truly means to develop a conscious relationship with nature.
Drawing upon his experiences in the Amazon, traditional plant dietas and his own personal journey of transformation, he will share reflections on listening beyond the mind, the importance of reciprocity, and remembering that we are not separate from nature, we are nature.
An invitation to open our hearts, deepen our awareness and step into the new year with greater reverence, responsibility and connection.

~ Hi, I’m Jess, a Kundalini Yoga Teacher, seeker & devotee of Truth.
I came to the practice of Kundalini looking to heal, empower myself, overcome illusions, self doubt & shed the layers of outdated beliefs, programmes & conditonings placed upon us since birth. This practice changed my life. It brought me home to myself, my heart, my intuition & gave me the strength to feel safe in my body & the world. It connected me to the Divine & the magic of life.
For the NYE day & night festival, I’ll be offering a gentle Kundalini Yoga practice, including breathwork, mantra, meditation & rhythmic movement. The offering is heart centered & carefully curated to connect you with your own bliss, radiance & to strengthen your magnetism. Call in the new year by touching your soul in this practice and elevating your vibration, welcoming long lasting change & transformation.
I can’t wait to share this potential practice with you all 🫶🧚🐲💖✨
~ Kirtan - The ancient practice of Kirtan is the singing of devotional songs using mantras (a series of words) often in the sacred language of sanskrit (yogic language) and it is a practice that allows anyone, including non-musicians to experience the many life-enhancing benefits of singing.
Practicing Kirtan allows us to drop out of our heads and connect with our hearts and the core of our being bringing deep feelings of peace, serenity and joy and bringing us into the present moment where tensions and worries evaporate.
By repeating these sacred sounds, we can move beyond the chitter chatter of the mind and tap into a higher state of consciousness. The creation of vibrations by singing the mantras is a powerful way of entering a deep meditative state and coming into stillness. When we sit in stillness and silence after chanting, this is where the magic happens and where answers to any questions can come to us.
