MEET OLIVIA HEMPSTEAD
Olivia Hempstead is the founder of Luna Alchemy, a sacred nurturing space created for beings to journey inwards to discover their healer within. Olivia is a Yoga Teacher, Breathwork Facilitator, Reiki Practitioner, Sound Healer and Nutritionist. Through her own healing journey and after many years of trainings, teaching and being a student in a variety of different areas in holistic wellness Olivia knew her purpose was to hold space to help others journey inwards to find a true sense of equilibrium and empowerment within their mind, body and soul.
Inspired by the Luna moths symbolism of rebirth, regeneration, and renewal Luna Alchemy is a space that provides spiritual guidance through transformation to a new self. Olivia believes that having both a healthy mind and body are deeply connected and helping others find this place of balance, harmony and overall wellness within their lives is of great importance to her.
Olivia has spent many years abroad deepening her knowledge and connecting with many different teachers in many different lands. She decided to follow a deep calling last year and returned back to her home in London. Dedicating time to planting seeds to allow a beautiful community to grow around her and her offerings. Olivia works seasonally and with the Moon Cycle where she provides gatherings for all to come connect to journey and heal as a collective.
The ethos of Luna Alchemy is to support, empower and ultimately inspire one another to live the best life we can. By guiding a variety of practices with students Olivia knows how to help one feel safe and grounded in what can sometimes be a vulnerable experience. The purity and strength Olivia has found through guiding and being a channel for others to heal truly inspired and awakened her soul to the change we can make to ourselves and society as a whole simply by elevating our state of relaxation and gratitude. By always remembering to honour our shadows and allowing them the space to breath we can then create space within for our light to shine through once more.
NEW MOON GATHERING
Join Olivia for one of her very intimate New Moon gatherings. We shall be coming together to manifest and to set our intentions through ceremony for this months New Moon. The New moon brings a sense of calmness to our journey and represents rebirth, renewal and new beginnings into our lives, it is a chance to slow down and pause to truly reflect on all we would like to manifest in order for us to live out our full potential in this journey.
This gathering is a chance to be transformed by the moons stunning energy. Space shall be held for us to set our intentions and release them off into the ether. Following our ceremony we shall take time to journey inwards through a Yoga Nidra Practice also known as yogic sleep, which will guide you into a meditation conscious relaxation. The intention of this practice is to induce total physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Just 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra can be as restorative as four hours of regular sleep.
To end our evening we shall explore the beautiful healing vibrational sounds from Crystal Alchemy Bowls. Made of the highest quality(99.992% pure) quartz crystal, making them incredibly resonant. The tones produced by crystal bowls are not just heard by the ear, you feel them in your body, with certain tones affecting your energy centers (chakras) for healing, balancing & meditation.
You do not need to have any experience with Yoga Nidra or knowledge of the new moon to truly feel and see the beauty that can unravel in this gathering. This is a chance to connect not only with others but to go inwards and connect with your full potential.
