ANNABELLE CHARANBANI My name is Annabelle, blessed also with the name Charanbani Kaur.

My path is devoted to the healing and creative arts, supporting people to come into greater presence and to engage with life with more passion, ease, curiosity and confidence. For this, we work towards optimising physical health, creative flow, connecting with spirit, and allowing the heart and soul to lead with greater clarity.

I primarily serve with kundalini yoga and meditation, sound medicine, intuitive storytelling, self-enquiry and holistic massage, accompanied by plants. I like to work in nature, supported by the organic and vital presence of the elements.

This line of work is ultimately about finding balance. Of solar and lunar, personal and impersonal, infinity and finity consciousness, earth-water-wind-fire-ether. It includes detoxing physically and emotionally, reconciling and releasing tired memories, finding greater flow with creative energy and joy, and stimulating sensuality. We develop our relationship with the soul Self, and we become more awake to the ways in which wisdom and guidance is being transmitted by spirit in each moment.

Alongside my studies and certifications in kundalini yoga and sound healing, my approach is informed by:

- over 15 years study and practice in various lineages of yoga, including nearly 10 years of kundalini;

- living and studying in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico for the past few years, learning with nature, wisdom keepers and native medicine practices;

- studies and trainings in the neurophysiology of complex ptsd and its application to embodied practices, alongside my own lived experiences;

- over 10 years of guiding people in intuitive participatory storytelling

-certification in holistic massage with a combination of TCM and Toltec techniques;

- trainings in energy healing and channelling;

- a background in theatre and the performing arts, as practitioner and teacher, with a BA from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama;

- the experience of losing parents and a sibling as a child;

- growing up in a rainforest, moving to the city, then finding my way back (on this continuing path) to Nature I'm in deep gratitude to my many teachers and guides

- human, plant, animal and mineral - with whose perspective and company I've had the fortune to be gifted.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

@annabelle.charanbani ARJUNA MAGEE I am a multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years of experience in music performance, recording, and teaching drums and percussion all across the UK and abroad.

From an early age I developed a passion for music and rhythm. I was born into a bhakti tradition, and whilst on a family holiday to India at the age of 10 I visited rural communities and fell in love with the ecstatic beats and melodies of the heartfelt traditional folk music, kirtan. This began my journey of music education, receiving lessons on the Mridanga, an ancient double ended clay hand drum, the Harmonium, the drum kit, the African djembe, Indian, Irish and Japanese flutes, guitar, hand pan and singing.

Since the age of 14 I’ve been performing with bands around Europe, playing and exploring many styles and genres including Funk, Jazz, Reggae, Rock, Soul, Folk and World music. I have had the honour and privilege to work alongside world class musicians such as Pee Wee Ellis, Dennis Rollins, Vin Gordon, James Morton, Celestine Gordon, Ayla Schaeffer, Susie Ro, Asher McArthy, DB Clifford, William Cartwright, John Cartwright, Jaki Whitren, Joby Baker, Adrian Freedman, Alix Thorpe, Michael Stanton, Avalon Roots, Nick Manassah, King Artisan, Kennedy Chinyere, Vijay Krsna and Saraswati, and many more.

As well as making music, a lot of my focus is now directed toward studying music and rhythm therapy, combining everything I have learned to offer sound in more diverse and intricate ways.
