GROUNDED - A shared experience of movement, sound and human connection

GROUNDED - A shared experience of movement, sound and human connection GROUNDED is an intimate three-hour gathering created by Kayur Kotecha and Alexander Alma. Through guided awareness, accessible movement, immersive sound and deep rest, we’ll create space to slow down, become more attentive to our own experience and connect with others without pressure or performance. Everything is invitational. You may adapt, pause, observe or step outside at any time. The afternoon 1.00–2.45 pm: Arrival, movement and exploration We’ll begin with a personal welcome, settle into the circle and introduce the afternoon. A choice-led connection exercise and guided meditation will lead into accessible solo movement exploring sensation, rhythm and space. The movement will gradually become freer and more intuitive, shaped by Alexander’s music and sound. This part of the afternoon will conclude with an optional partnered exploration or quiet individual practice. 2.45–3.30 pm: Sound immersion and closing Movement will give way to an extended sound immersion and deep rest, followed by silence, a gradual return and a simple closing. 3.30–4.00 pm: Chai and community We’ll finish with chai, seasonal fruit and relaxed conversation. Who is it for? GROUNDED is for adults who value genuine presence and are curious about connection through movement, sound, stillness and shared experience. No previous experience of yoga, meditation or dance is required. Partnered activities are optional, with a non-contact or individual alternative available. GROUNDED is a general wellbeing and community experience. It is not a clinical, therapeutic or trauma-processing programme. Your facilitators Kayur Kotecha Kayur is a physiotherapist, rehabilitation specialist, yoga teacher, health and recovery coach, men’s community facilitator, healthcare founder and photographer. His approach to movement and yoga is grounded, accessible and inclusive, shaped by his clinical experience and interest in health, attention, human behaviour and meaningful connection. Alexander Alma Alexander is a musician, producer, transpersonal healer and relational coach. His devotion weaves the threads of music, awakened relating and embodied practice into immersive experiences that inspire self-discovery, expression and play As a love warrior committed to holding space for humanity’s highest expression, Alexander creates generative spaces where people get to slow down, arrive in the present moment, feel deeply and explore new ways of being. At the heart of this vision is Sacred Playground, Alexander’s creative ecosystem and evolving body of work. It honours both the sacred and the playful, inviting a more loving, curious and embodied relationship with ourselves, one another and the great mystery of life.
