The pop-up shop was filled with different brands that added vibrant colours to the shop and made it so special for the clients. Accessories, fashion, homeware, health, footwear brands were available at our building for our studio holders and clients during the days.

Vadher leathers is one of the brands part of the pop-up. Their story is as special as their products. With a history of almost 80 years, generation after generation, manufacturing the products, they finally opened their own brand. They make amazing products from leather and they always make sure to use even the smallest amount of leftover leather to create earrings, mini wallets, and different accessories.

Adorn with love is the brand of heart and soul, that was part of our pop-up shop. Everything handmade by Preeti, the products are as special as the aim of this business. Everyone who popped by and chose one of these colourful pieces to add in the collection were over the moon by the quality and how special they were.

Bloomtine is the brand that added such a nice and warming energy to our pop-up shop. Enhancing the best feminine energy, their products are so special with a mission to honour the divine feminine and remind the earth angels of their celestial identity.

Meditation and Breathwork with Emma Ball

Her guided meditation with breathwork will naturally yield some meditative presence. Often we take our breathing for granted. My unique style involves using the breath to finally tune an orchestra of events in the body consisting of chemicals, emotions, feelings, energy, vibration and frequency to relax the mind, improve focus, calm the nervous system and boost immunity.

Benefits of Breathwork

-Breath work … “Each breath is like a little rebirth, a renaissance that can only be celebrated if we recognise that it’s happening” … Cristen Rodgers”

-Chakra energy cleanse

Keeping your energy flowing through clear and unobstructed pathways is crucial to experience vitality, high energy levels, and a healthy appetite for life. Blocked chakra stops the flow of energy, affecting you both psychologically and emotionally.

We also feel that we don’t have enough time to invest in ourselves or the practices that nourish us. I believe you really don’t have enough time NOT to. If you DO you will be more efficient, get more done, be focused, tune into what’s truly important to you, and align with your inspirations.

Emma likes to align to meditation and breathwork in the spirit of “we get to do this”, is the mind set I encourage you to adopt

– Nothing changes unless, you embrace change

When we are tired, stressed or running on empty physically, mentally and emotionally, pushing on and on is not going to create inspiration, or creative ideas and solutions.

We are not at our best.

So just like a deep good night sleep provide rest, so does meditation it supports and creates a “charge” a balancing charge of life force energy, a calm, clear perspective.

When our being is balanced, our energy is full, effective and juiced up full of momentum and passion to be purposeful.

Emma will be hosting another session for GWS studio holders on May 18th on the occasion of Mental Health Awareness Week.

Evolve … Align … Lead … from an empowered state.
