What's On | Sleeping Giants Autumn Equinox Gathering

What’s On

The Sleeping Giants programme brings together teachers and practitioners from across the world of movement, sound and ceremony.

Days begin with sunrise meditations and morning yoga, move through workshops in breathwork, Qigong, Tai Chi, sound healing and dance, and close with evening ceremonies and full moon celebrations under the Andalucían stars. With up to four spaces running simultaneously across the site, there is always something to suit where you are and what you need.

The full programme will be updated here as it is confirmed. In the meantime, meet the people holding space.

David Sye

David Sye is the creator of Yogabeats, a dynamic practice born out of extraordinary circumstances while he was working as a radio journalist during the Bosnian war in the early 1990s. Using music to carry people through stress and conflict, Yogabeats evolved into a globally recognised system for transformation through movement. David has since taken his work to Palestinian communities in the West Bank, street youth in Glasgow, and conflict zones around the world. His Yoga Beats Conflict fund is supported by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Based in London, he teaches internationally and remains one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary yoga.

Arachai Haorang

Arachai grew up in the rice fields of Northeast Thailand before moving to the north east of England, a journey that gave him an unusually wide perspective on people and how they live. His travels since have taken him from Mongolia to Mexico, through India on pilgrimage with Shiva Babas, back to his ancestral village in Thailand, and eventually to New Zealand where he spent two years with a Maori master carver learning about traditional ways of life and medicine. For the past seven years he has been sharing that breadth of experience through music, movement and sound.

He collaborates regularly with musicians, yoga teachers and sound healers, and brings a rare combination of technical precision and meditative depth to everything he does.
