ELIMINATE TO ILLUMINATE - Kundalini Yoga Day Retreat

Eliminate to Illuminate is a Kundalini yoga day retreat taking place at Fircroft College on Saturday 31 October, running from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm. It's framed as a Samhain journey of release, renewal and inner light, and the whole day is built around that idea: letting go of old patterns, habits and energies to make space for something new and a deeper connection with your inner light.

The programme works through Kundalini yoga, meditation, japa and gong immersion, a sequence in which you journey inward to clear what's ready to be released and reconnect with the consciousness within. It's described as suitable for all levels, so you don't need to be a regular on the mat to join in. The organisers advise bringing a yoga mat, a cushion, a blanket or shawl and a reusable mug or cup.

Under-16s must attend with a parent or legal guardian, and there's free parking available at the venue. The retreat is held at Fircroft College, 1018 Bristol Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham B29 6LH. Tickets are £65.71, which includes a three-course lunch and a two-course dinner, so you're sorted for food throughout the day.
