What we do

We are creating a community hostel in London where people who are passionate about positive social change, environmental sustainability and inner work can connect and inspire each other. By creating a meeting place for the many people who pass through London, we hope to strengthen networks for positive change and alternative communities.
The hostel will offer:

  • Shared communal meals around a long table each evening, where people can meet other people with shared values.
  • A diverse range of workshops (many peer-led by guests), enabling people from different places to inspire each other with stories about the work they do, and build networks together.

We are a non-profit social enterprise, and will reinvest surplus to offer subsidised accommodation to volunteers and campaigners, when they visit to London.
Eco Soul Hostel will serve as a model of more sustainable urban living. A significant part of its educational impact will be in offering people a direct experience of living a low-impact lifestyle for 24 hours. For example, the hostel will aim to be low-carbon, near zero-waste and will source from ethical suppliers.
However, in addition to this, the community hostel is designed to be an accessible place where people can taste living in a community for the first time. We hope that people who have booked will be inspired by hearing others share about some of the alternative communities and networks that exist across the region.
There is a one-minute video introducing the project at www.ecosoulhostel.com. Check out our website for the latest updates. Please get in touch if you have skills, ideas or support to offer. We will be happy to talk to you.

Yoga Terapia Hormonal para mujeres

El cuerpo es capaz de producir hormonas por si mismo. La brasileña, Dinah RodrĂ­gues, desarrollĂł en los años 90 una serie de ejercicios de yogaterapia hormonal a partir de diferentes tradiciones de yoga, como yoga hatha, kundalini y yoga energĂ©tico tibetano. Un estudio cientĂ­fico para verificar los efectos del yoga hormonal demostrĂł que la concentraciĂłn hormonal de las personas que participaron en el ensayo ascendiĂł un 254% en cuatro meses: disminuyeron los sofocos, desparecieron las depresiones y el mal humor, y se aliviaron otros sĂ­ntomas. El yoga hormonal no sĂłlo influye positivamente sobre el nivel hormonal, sino que alivia los sĂ­ntomas que acompañan a los desarreglos hormonales. Las asanas practicadas con regularidad ayudan a mantener el peso ideal, a disminuir los cĂłlicos menstruales, a mejorar el ánimo, a acelerar las curaciones de miomas, quistes, prevenir cáncer de mama, etc… El yoga hormonal es muy beneficioso para todas las mujeres a partir de los 35 años, pero especialmente para: Mujeres con dificultades de fertilidad Mujeres son sĂ­ntomas relacionados con la menstruaciĂłn Mujeres en menopausia Osteoporosis Profesora: Claire Ingrid Suanzes Rey, terapeuta de shiatsu y drenaje linfático desde 1993, formada en Austria, Holanda y España.

Fechas: Sábado 21 y domingo 22 de febrero de 2015 Lugares: por las mañanas en Sevilla (120€) por las tardes en Los Portales (90€ – non incluye pensiĂłn) InformaciĂłn e inscripciĂłn: Claire Suanzes – tel: 659 884 354 – cl***********@***oo.es
