THE FINAL Community Brunch - with Sound Bath × Energy Healing & Breathwork

This event has been postponed until Sunday 5th May, due to wet weather...

This is our last Community Event as the season comes to a close...

These Community Events have been getting more and more fruitful as word gets out to the wider Hong Kong community about their happening. We expect this event to be the best yet, and have some wonderful collaborations in store for a truly unique morning & afternoon of tears, laughter and a coming-together as ONE in the beautifully natural space that is ARK EDEN.

We begin the day together underneath the trees on the wooden deck with a special Sound Bath & Energy Healing fusion by the fabulous Noophet and Rebecca. After opening up and grounding, you'll be fed a nourishing plant-based Brunch designed around Ayurvedic principles to help balance your system and revive you from within. Afterwards, Matt will guide you through a deep process of therapeutic and transformational Breathwork that is designed to help regulate the nervous system, release stress and mediate trauma within the body. We end the day with a gathering around the fire and a groove on the deck as we integrate the day's teachings. We'll also serve you yummy cacao & cake to enjoy together, whilst beautiful conversations are had.

SOUND BATH & ENERGY HEALING

with Noophet & Rebecca

10am - 11:30am

This one-off and very special collaboration is one not to be missed. Noophet brings her three powerful gongs to the space, taking you on a deep inner journey to unravel energetic patternings and inharmonious emotional blockages that may be keeping you from peace. During the sound bath, Rebecca will perform a type of Energy Healing adopted from Reiki origin, but in a unique style carefully developed and now practiced by herself. The work she does has proved highly effective in allowing regulation of the energy bodies of her clients, and allowing them to access higher states and realms of consciousness.

Noophet is a certified Gong sound therapist, leading both yoga and gong bath classes for students of all levels from her studio in Pui O, Lantau Island. She has lived in Hong Kong for over 30 years and has been leading her classes around Hong Kong for the past 14 years.

SOULFUL BRUNCH

Designed by Matt & Paloma

12am - 2pm

Community Brunches at Baba's events are vibrant and inclusive. With the communal nature of the outdoor eating space, you are encouraged to sit and meet like-minded people who soon become close and familiar friends. Today's Easter Brunch is curated by the wonderful Matt & Paloma, who both have expertise in cross-culture culinary. The food is designed to be filling, nourishing and grounding, yet remaining easy and light for the body to process. There's an opportunity to help with clearing and cleaning as Brunch comes to an end - embracing the Community Kitchen atmosphere.

Matt & Bex have a cookbook, named 'Baba's Bites - A Cookbook, Handmade for the mind, body & soul'

BREATHWORK JOURNEYING FOR LETTING GO

Guided by Matt

2pm - 3:30pm

Sometimes confused with, but not the same as, Pranayam - Breathwork sessions are guided with the aid of music and Matt's voice, where you will maintain a focus on a conscious, connected breath. This allows you to drop into a deeper state of being, where healing and love reside. The breath begins slowly and gently, and gradually picks up pace, peaking at the sessions's half way point and then slowing back down to allow integration.Each session is uniquely different and intuitive in nature. Throughout the journey, you are supported in your exploration of thoughts, feelings, memories, and patterns that may be holding them back in their life and begin to release them with each and every breath. The more one experiences Breathwork, the deeper into the inner experience they go.

By breathing deeply, you activate your parasympathetic nervous system, and in turn, slow down your heart rate and lower your blood pressure—creating a feeling of complete calmnes in the body. It is a very empowering process.

The Breathwork that Matt holds is trauma-informed, meaning that the space is safely held in order to allow people to move into deep process and release in a container that won't lead to re-traumatisation or non-resolution. You'll leave the practice feeling renewed and 'Re-Birthed', ready to begin the Spring with lightness, clarity and an openness to life.

Matt offers one-to-one sessions and private group sessions for thos interested.

CACAO, CAKE, FIRE & GROOVE ON THE DECK

3:45pm - 5pm

This week we will hold Cacao & vegan cake around the Community Firepit. This is a time to connect over beautiful conversations and get to know the like-minded community that you're surrounded by. Or alternatively you can choose to spend the rest of the day in the adundant nature that exists around you at Ark Eden - taking in the whistle of the wind through the trees and the sun starting to set behind the glorious hills of Lantau.

GROOVE ON THE DECK

5pm - 6pm

We'll play some bangin' music if you fancy a groove on the deck - to celebrate the season of Baba's Community Events coming to a close. Let yourself be you, and dance freely with the community under the tree canopies.

About Ark Eden

Situated in the nurturing valley of Tung Hang Mei in Mui Wo, Lantau Island, Ark Eden offers a space like no other that Hong Kong can offer. It is rootsy & raw and stands for regeneration, growth and allowing Nature to have her way. As a Permaculture demonstration site, Eco-activities centre and functioning mini-farm, Ark Eden has long been a beacon of hope for many who have become lost in the repetitiveness that city life can so often consume us with here in Hong Kong.

About Baba's Community Brunches
It is with these Community Brunch events - started in February 2023 and run seasonally since - that we have partnered with Ark Eden to bring accessible community wellness to the Hong Kong people. Wellness in Hong Kong often comes at a premium - leaving it inaceessible for many who deeply need it. We challenge that paradigm, bringing something new, inclusive and loving into the wellness space.

Our community Brunches are also open spaces for commiunity members who offer wellness activities to hold space for others and access a different type of audience. They are designed to give space to those who may be new to teaching a platform to do so in a safe and supported environment.

Tickets are non-refundable. In the event of disruptive weather and event cancellation we will refund 100% of the ticket to you .
