We know big changes are needed on our island to prepare for the climate crisis years we are in. To be engaged with this fully, we need a comprehensive understanding of how our governing body works in Jersey.
Following a conversation thread in the Extinction Rebellion Jersey group here on facebook, to which many people attested ignorance and confusion in fully understanding our governing system, we have created an event to help gather and educate ANYONE who wishes to turn up and learn.
We are very grateful to Senator Sam Mezec, who has accepted our invitation to explain the system and answer any questions that you all may have at the end, and also to Constable Simon Crowcroft for supporting our needs as a community.
Please register your interest at the ticket link and join our group below if you believe the wellbeing of our planet should be at the forefront of all of our hearts and minds.
Blown away by the enormity and the urgency of Our Ecological Crisis?

• Realising each of our innate gifts to contribute to our world.
• What was the mindset that got us to this point? Where are we now? Where do we go from here? What is emerging?
“The Pachamama Alliance” who created the Symposium are a collaboration of indigenous, scientific, activist and humanitarian minds.
Join our heartful journey together through the heart of our current global situation.

Laughter Yoga is a revolutionary idea – simple and profound. An exercise routine, it is sweeping the world and is a complete wellbeing workout.
The brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, a Physician from Mumbai, India, launched the first Laughter Club at a Park on March 13, 1995, with merely a handful of persons. Today, it has become a worldwide phenomenon.
Laughter Yoga combines Unconditional Laughter with Yogic Breathing (Pranayama). Anyone can Laugh for No Reason, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group; with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits.
The class is happening before the Wild Earth Dance at 7pm. Please message or email mariaearthbeauty@gmail.com to book your free place for the Laughter Yoga Class.
After a beautiful event in March we are back. Dive with us into the deep waters of conscious ecstatic dance to open our hearts and access the wisdom of the body in a moving meditation.
** BOOK EARLY AND SAVE £5 **
With the intention to encourage unity and connection in ourselves and the outside world, we flow together with compassion and acceptance of the beautiful and tragic human condition to create a huge offering of soul food through our body prayer.
Our movements open and heal our hearts and give us the courage and possibility to fully be ourselves without apology, on an open floor space that allows our bodies to move freely without judgment or concern for the “grace” or beauty of the dance.
Our hall is dimly lit and laced in connection and authenticity, without specific observers or verbal conversation. Suggestions and invitations are given through a microphone by the facilitator in a space that is held enough to feel safe and yet open enough to encourage creative freedom of expression.
There is much evidence to suggest that creative, spontaneous movement and dance supports a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. Join us to return back home fully to the body again.

The evening is facilitated by Maria Barnicoat who started holding regular conscious dance classes back in 2008 (‘bare foot ecstatic dance’ and later ‘soul movement’) after immersing in shamanic dance practices that supported and deepened her personal growth and spiritual journey. Influenced strongly by 5Rhythms, Movement Medicine, Soul Motion, Buddhism, Nature and Mysticism with a passion for loving our planet, staying grateful and overthrowing the patriarchy.
“We dance to shed skins, tear off masks, crack molds, and experience the breakdown – the shattering of borders between body, heart and mind. “ – Gabrielle Roth (founder of the 5Rhythms)

A dance floor for you to journey into a deep connection with yourself and experience the liberation and ecstatic relief of full body integration and presence through conscious movement.
Our space is dimly lit with a supportive creative community of bodies being facilitated into moving meditation through gentle encouragement of moment by moment awareness, with compassion and acceptance of the beautiful and tragic human condition, personal and collective. Dance melts and heals our hearts and gives us the courage and possibility to fully be ourselves without apology.
Our gathering is at the gateway to the Spring Equinox when the Sun moves into the constellation of Aries for new beginnings (coinciding with a full moon just to add to the heightened energy!). During our evening together we’ll take time to create a body prayer meditation for this celebrated time, to tune into our deepest calling so that our seedling energy and efforts for the year grow from a place of reflected congruence and heartsong.
Beginners and seasoned movers all welcome.
Join us and remember why dance has been an intrinsic part of our cultural community expression since time began.

During solstice we are in transition, moving from the darkest time into the time of more light.
Entering the sweat lodge at this time will help us to make this transition with more ease, as in the lodge we are shedding what is no longer needed in our lives and gaining insight into the best that we can do in the future. We are leaving behind the old and creating a space for the new to come flooding in. Join us in celebration of this time and welcome all the best in with love!
During this ceremony, we separate for a time from the physical world and go within ourselves to be able to see with clarity what needs to be healed or resolved and pray for guidance from the ancient grandmothers and grandfathers who have walked the Earth before us. We allow ourselves to connect directly with their wisdom and the original memory that resides within us all.
Everyone is welcome.
Date: Sunday 23rd December 2018
Time: 13.15 til 16.30
Bring: women – a loose fitting dress, men – shorts for inside the lodge, water or hot tea for drinking before and after, warm clothes for after the lodge and willingness to let go and receive our mothers blessings
Where: Behind the Steam Museum in Trinity. Full directions will be sent after booking.

Cost: £20 or £35 for both events

Time: 7pm til 9.30pm
About Melanie Wartho:
Mel has been living and working in South America for 23 years, during this time she has travelled extensively in Argentina, lived in Bolivia, travelled through Central America and lived in Ecuador and ultimately Peru. It is during her time in Ecuador that she first chose to work closely with local Shamen and healers for her own personal healing, as she progressed she began to facilitate the healing of others and learn more about the old traditions and the wisdom of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. She has been working with native healers and shamen now for 13 years. She embarked upon a Vision Quest following the tradition of the Lakota people and has also completed 4 years of Sundance, she has studied with a Shuar healer in the jungle of Ecuador, and ultimately has spent 2 years working with and learning from Shamen in the jungle of Peru. She brings with her a lot of the knowledge and wisdom of the people who are still very connected to nature, working with plant medicines and listening to what nature has to tell us.
This workshop is open to women of all ages and will deal specifically with our time before, during and after menopause.
The menopause, like menstruation, is seen as a burden, something that we shouldn’t discuss except in negative and unhealthy terms.
The intention of this workshop is to dispel the myths surrounding menopause and to help us to find the immensity of the new powers as healers and grandmothers that we have access to, when we know how to find it.
Too many times have we heard comments from women about their fear of the menopause before they have it along with women who see the menopause as a bad thing and therefore relate to any symptoms they may have as purely difficult, and those women who believe that now they are menopausal, or that when the menopause comes, their life has no meaning and that they are barren and therefore worthless with a life that will be empty.
Now is the time to relearn the positive truths about ourselves as menopausal and post menopausal women.
This workshop is specifically for you if you recognise any of the above feelings either in yourself or someone close.
