Ancestral Get Down - A Ceremonial Dance party
This is a structured dance party, in that it will be about dancing with our resplendent Ancestors, of our lineages, time and place.
It will involve starting with a prayer/invocation a wish, to be connected in such a way with our Ancestors, and to dance with them, for ourselves, for them, and the sacred aspect of dancing for those who are unable to at that time - for whatever reason, including for those who may have had to hide their joy, aren’t able to fully express it because of the fear or sanction, we will dance for ourselves, for all.

Pilates
FUN, safe & effective mat-based Beginner Level Pilates Classes including exercises for upright and prone positions, warm-up and preparation movements, and the use of blocks and other Pilates equipment.
The fundamentals that'll be taught at this level include techniques to correct your own posture throughout the day and develop your awareness of your body. I'll reinforce the Pilates Principles and teach exercises which, you can take home to practice FYI - do these 2–4 times a week for 3–6 months, and you will see a difference in self-confidence, and in the control you have of your own body!
Participants who are rehabilitating from historical and current injuries (or recent operations) are welcome to attend. Please speak to Quishi during the class about your personal history, so he can tailor the programme.

Sound Baths
My intention with sound healing is to connect deeply with myself, my instruments and my voice to create space for community healing. My sound baths create an opportunity for people to drop into their bodies, release stagnant energy, and to deeply surrender.
Sound healing is a powerful way to connect to our ancestors; I'm half-Moroccan and Morocco has a rich musical culture that intersects music with spirituality. So, I honour my Middle Eastern roots by singing some prayers in Arabic.
