An immersive morning of yoga, music, rest and time travel
“Even the words that we are speaking now thieving time has stolen away, and nothing can return.”
February 29th is a rare reminder of the passing of time - fleeting, relative, yet undeniable and irreversible. Our minds are wired to dwell in the past or project an imaginary future. In that constant movement, we overlook the only moment we ever experience - the present one.
Join us for a Saturday morning of becoming fascinated with the present through steady and meditative yoga, deep rest and self-inquiry infused with Glenneth’s beautiful live electro-acoustic set.

WHAT TO EXPECT?
MOVE: An accessible, steady and meditative yoga sequence will be infused with an intuitive live music set as Glenneth feeds into the energy of the room with his dreamy productions. It is a sonic invitation to explore all the facets of the present moment, notice all the details that often go overlooked, fall in love with what we typically find boring and mundane.
BE STILL: The journey will continue with a total sound-bathed yoga nidra - a form of deeply nourishing yogic sleep where the conscious mind can let go - an invitation to travel back in time and acknowledge this sequence of ‘present moments’ that we call life.
INQUIRE: In this stillness and rest, true insight can arise from within. This is the time of creative breakthrough and connection to ourselves. It is an invitation to lose track of time completely and find out what is always here before, after and during any experience, outside of space and time.
WHO ARE WE?
Glenneth is a London based composer and producer, creating long-form, meditative electro-acoustic music. With a focus on interwoven systems of pattern and flux, Glenneth’s music delicately balances drifts of keys, sythns and percussion to create a deep sonic experience. @glenneth_music

What is MindRest?
MindRest is a series of sound-infused evenings of yoga, mindfulness and deep relaxation, born out of my heart’s desire to collaborate with others and celebrate their wisdom in service of inner peace. Together, we weave different talents, ours and yours, to create an oasis of stillness, nourishment and deep rest from our busy lives and minds.
Each workshop will explore a different inquiry into our nature, following a familiar structure: MOVE your body through soulful and accessible yoga, STILL your mind through sound bath, mindfulness and guided relaxation, INQUIRE deeply through free-flow journalling and let true insight arise from this stillness.
MindRest is not about teaching you anything. In fact, we have nothing to teach you and all knowledge can be forgotten here. We create a soothing cocoon of deep and healing relaxation so that you can uncover your own inner wisdom - a 'MindRest' where the body can open, the conscious mind can let go and insights can arise from within. You are your own compassionate teacher.
Love,
The Seed & some very talented flowers
