Nurturing Evolution- Raising Ourselves & Our Children as Peacemakers
with Marcy Axness PhD
When: Monday 14 may | 7:15 – 8:45pm
Price: £12 | per person
We are all pregnant with our future selves, and are therefore always participating in our own self-creation. How we perceive daily life – with appreciation, gratitude and joy, or irritation, upset and negativity – literally shapes who we are tomorrow.
This opportunity expands exponentially when we choose to bring new humans to life. This is how we have the power to grow a peaceful generation and cultivate a peaceful world, beginning with ourselves, then through our children.
From cell biology to prenatal psychology, neuroscience to esoteric spiritual science, this workshop is an interdisciplinary exploration of radical new ways of seeing and being with vital human mysteries, holding the intention of collaborating with Life to evolve our global family toward greater joy, empathy, intelligence and interdependence.
Marcy Axness’s efforts to educate our world are vital to our evolution! I’m so glad she’s telling the growth-or-protection story because simple fundamentals are where the truth is. – Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, author, Biology of Belief and Spontaneous Evolution
Marcy Axness lays down the simple but profound principles and practices required to raise generations comfortable in their hearts and happy with themselves. A tranquil revolution of the soul and of the home that would benefit all humanity. – Gabor Maté, MD, author,Scattered
Marcy was an award-winning writer/producer in the world of documentary television, with CBS News, the Disney Channel, Lifetime, Showtime and others. Her own life & discoveries of being an adopted person, and then becoming a mother, led her to pursue deeper understanding of how we become who we become, and how we can do it in a healthier and more joyful way.
A popular international speaker on human development and culture, Dr. Axness is featured in several documentary films as an expert in conscious pregnancy, adoption, and Waldorf education. She has a solid constituency and devoted following cultivated over nearly twenty years of speaking, writing, counseling and networking within multiple intersecting communities whose interests center on progressive human insights, development and evolution.
Other accomplishments aside, Marcy views as her most impressive credential that during her 25-year marriage she birthed two babies, mothered two toddlers, shepherded two school-aged children, parented two teen and is proud to have seen two extraordinary individuals out of the nest and into the world to pursue their paths of life artistry. As a gift to LCS learners, Marcy is offering a free download of “Seven Ways to Rewire a Negative Mind.”

Sound Meditation with gong and tibetan singing bowls
with dominika baran & dariusz zaczkowski
When: every 1st Friday of the month | 7 – 8 pm
Price: £15 | per person
Experience the universal sound of the gong and Tibetan singing bowls. Allow the sounds to take you into a state of peaceful meditation and let it touch you deeply at a cellular level. Let go of any expectations and experience total relaxation and connection with the Sounds of the Universe.
• Strengthens self-confidence, creativity and motivation
• Stress reduction through deep relaxation and endorphin release
• Promotes deeper sleep
• Activates self-healing mechanisms within the body
The gentle and harmonious sounds of gong and Tibetan singing bowls are absorbed through the ear and quickly lead to deep, long lasting relaxation. The rhythmic sound vibrations are transmitted to the body. Sound massage creates an atmosphere of safety and security, in which it is possible to let go of stress, anxiety, worry. In this soothing atmosphere, we can again come in contact with our needs, our “inner wisdom”.
Dominika has played Gongs and Tibetan singing bowls for many years, being inspired by Gong master Don Conreaux. It is her passion to promote harmony and unity using natural mandala.

gong bath with gordon coxon
every other thursday | 6:30-7:30pm | £12
What is a Gong Bath?
In a gong bath the body is literally ‘bathed in sound’, promoting a deep sense of well being and inner peace. The sound of the gong has the effect of timelessness – and of de-materialisation. People often have the experience of floating in space, or in an ocean; some have inspiring visions, or see colours.
More than a musical instrument, the gong is a conduit for vibrational waves of energy, releasing reverberating tones of great fullness and resonance that interact with the human body on a very deep, even cellular level. The gong facilitates deep meditation; it can open all the chakras and enable healing to more readily occur as the body concentrates on drawing in the sounds it needs to re-align and harmonise itself.
And the silence which settles when the gong bath ends is often very profound. Most people emerge from a gong bath feeling extremely relaxed, re-energised and refreshed. The aura, nerve and immune systems seem strengthened and the inner voice of higher consciousness more easily heard.
‘Feel the gong’s pulsations and let the millions of vibrations dance and flow through your senses. You will become fearless, relaxed and awakened.’ – Yogi Bhajan
Gordon Coxon spent the early part of his musical career working with such luminaries as the mime artist Lindsay Kemp, the Velvet Underground’s John Cale and punk star Toyah Wilcox. He later ran an improvising electronic jazz combo, the Space Cadets, and, more recently, began composing and recording music incorporating the sounds of nature, notably birdsong, along with devotional material such as Shamanic poetry and Buddhist chant.
Gordon was drawn to the gong several years ago through a deepening involvement in yoga and meditation and it has since become his main sphere of interest. He studies with Grand Gongmaster Don Conreaux – the world’s foremost authority on the gong – and offers gong baths regularly in group sessions and on a one-to-one basis in Brighton and London. He currently employs a beautiful 32 inch Paiste symphonic gong, a 28 inch Chinese wind gong, temple cymbals and chimes.
Availability: Limited to 12 people (please register). In 2012, the Gong Bath will take place every other Thursday.

free talk on the classical buteyko method
with christopher drake and martha roe
upcoming dates: 9th may, 25th july & 25 september | 6:30-8:30pm
The Classical Buteyko technique is an effective and drug free approach to reversing a diverse range of chronic diseases and health problems including asthma, allergies, anxiety, fatigue, hormonal disorders,insomnia and more.
Buteyko is based on kumbhaka yoga which employs the practice of breath holding to improve breath control and this results in improvements to the performance of yoga asana, meditation, sport, and performance in any walk of life.
It is a common perception that we breathe in oxygen and breathe out a waste gas – carbon dioxide. This is a myth.
The talks are facilitated by Martha Roe who will show a presentation by Christopher Drake giving a brief history of Buteyko’s research and the scientific principles behind breathing. Includes the chance to measure your breathing and a Q/A session.
“This practice has changed my life.” Evelyn (ME/CFS)
Martha Roe was a science teacher retired from teaching through ill health having suffered ME/CFS for 18 years . She explored many avenues and took advice from many health professionals and eventually she reversed her condition though practicing the Buteyko Method for a period of a year supervised by Christopher Drake. Over the last three years Martha has facilitated talks and workshops by Christopher Drake via Skype to enable people to access the expertise Christopher Drake brings to the Classical approach to the Buteyko Method.
Christopher Drake introduced the Buteyko method with his teacher Alexander Stalmatski to Australia, UK, Ireland & the USA. Since 1992 Christopher has taught 16000+ students and his work has appeared in scientific journals and received much attention in the media.

summer solstice ceremony
with corinne blum + gordon coxon
when: Thursday 21 June 7:30-8:45pm | 6:30-8:45pm including Gong Bath
price: £12 solstice ceremony | £20 including Gong Bath
The solstices occur twice per year: the winter solstice on the 21st of December and the summer solstice on the 21st of June. Both represent the balance of light and dark as day and night are equal. They invite the balance and harmony of feminine and masculine, yin and yang, as well as the midline between the external and the internal. A meeting place where all opposing parts come to face and find that really, one cannot live without the other.
For this summer solstice ceremony we will look back at the past six months and with honour and appreciation take ownership of what we have planted and nurtured in the external world. As the days begin to slowly get shorter over the following six months, we will set an intention of what seeds we wish to plant on an internal level, to gestate through our fostered attention as our focus turns from the external world into our own inner world.
Gordon Coxon will be leading a Gong Bath prior to the ceremony. You are welcome to register for the ceremony alone or do both at the prices listed above. For more information on Gong Baths click here. It will be a lovely integration so we certainly encourage you to come to both!
