As part of Staffordshire St's Festival of Community 2024 we invite you to a yoga and art workshop.

Come swimming and flowing with Teresa Paiva and Isabella Ludlam, merging in community.

Explore the hidden qualities of water whilst flowing with your breath, enabling your creative potential and self awareness to emerge, with this experiential yoga and art workshop. With the practices of Kundalini Yoga, Yoga Nidra and mindful fluid drawings, this is an offering open to all who resonate with this invitation.

The workshop aims to engage participants with their innate creativity and dynamic relation with the element of water, whilst exploring creatively their connection with Self and others, from individual to collective, from a water molecule to a vast expansion of water, such as a pool, river or the sea.

Through the modalities of Kundalini Yoga and Yoga Nidra (with sound elements) , and a creative output of mindful drawings, employing liquid mediums on large paper, participants will experience and embody water qualities such as fluidity, current, stillness and turbulence, to activate heightened states of connection with the healing qualities of the element of water, giver and supporter of all life.

About the Festival of Community 2024: 

Staffordshire St presents our annual Festival of Community. The collaborative programme of workshops, events and fiestas will celebrate our neighbourhood and the communities that fill its streets.

This year Pipe Dreams, a collaborative project conjured by Jimi and Madeleine Famurewa, will form the centrepiece of the Festival - prepare to be transported to the half-remembered fantasia of a London orbital waterpark in the mid-1990s.

Exploring notions of community, place and belonging,  over the summer Staffordshire St will become a locus for playful creativity and celebratory knowledge sharing.

Accessibility: There is step-free access to the gallery via the door to the left hand side of the main entrance. There is a wheelchair accessible toilet. The event will be taking place in the exhibition space, which is a large open room with bright lighting and some seating available.

Staffordshire St is an independent project space in Peckham, South East London. The venue facilitates arts and cultural events and provides affordable studios for artists, makers and designers. ​

Staffordshire St is not-for-profit and all income is invested into developing our public programme which launched the summer of 2022. The venue was established as an art gallery in 2017, before then it was vacant for many years after a community centre closed. Originally it was built as a Methodist Hall. We intend to support a range of cultural events for the local community.

Staffordshire St will build on the established record of these histories, opening up again to the neighbourhood and developing a welcoming interdisciplinary arts space. More information on upcoming events at : info@staffordshirest.com or @staffordshirest
