Meditation with Michael
AWAKEN THE POWER WITHIN
LIBERATION
REBIRTH
Saturday 12th September 2026
Has summer been a lot? Whether it was packed with plans, constant noise, or just the heavy energy of a busy season, it is easy to feel a bit scattered by the time September rolls around.
On Saturday 12th September, we are gathering at Studio 38 in Prestwich to clear that static and ground ourselves. Liberation has grown to be more than just a dance. Moksha TMD and Ashley Phocou have teamed up to reshape this space into a deep, four-part afternoon designed to help you shed the old season and prepare for what comes next.
Here is how we will move through the day:
- Cacao Ceremony: We begin by slowing down and honouring the changing cycles of the year. This is where we drop into the room, set a quiet intention, and align our own internal rhythm with the autumn ahead.
- Breath Immersion : A raw, active practice to shift the physical and emotional blocks holding you back. This is the catalyst for real transformation, clearing out the old mental noise to make room for a more aligned version of yourself.
- Ecstatic Dance: No pressure, no performance. This is a space to shake off tension and open up to discovery, finding new ways to move as we embody the physical waves of energy rippling through us.
- Sound Journey: We finish in total stillness. The work is done, leaving nothing left to do but practice full surrender to the resonant frequencies, integrating the day so we can leave the space feeling more balanced.
If you are feeling the pull to shed what has been holding you back and begin your own rebirth with us, we would love to have you in the room. Take a breath, bring yourself exactly as you are, and let’s welcome the new season together.
With love,
Ashley & Moksha TMD

Dream Healer is a carefully crafted blend designed to inspire restful nights and profound dream journeys.
Featuring the blue lotus flower, cherished in Ancient Egyptian medicine for its calming and mildly psychoactive effects, this tincture sets the stage for relaxation. Mugwort, a renowned herb for lucid dreaming, enhances the colour and vividness of dreams, while bobinsana gently opens the heart, fostering emotional healing, compassion, and spiritual connection. Rose petals, vibrating at a high frequency, add their uplifting and antidepressant qualities to this harmonious blend. We’ve also added a bit of agave to sweeten.
Instructions: Use 1–5 drops nightly as needed.
Caution: Keep refrigerated once opened. Consult a healthcare professional before use.

Becoming No One: Leo Oppenheim on Ego Death, India & the Quiet Shift into Fatherhood

Somewhere between India, stepping away from facilitating, and facing himself without the usual roles to hide behind, something loosened. Not a dramatic reinvention—more like parts of him quietly fell off that were never really his to begin with.
We circle ego death (more than once), what it actually feels like when identity starts slipping through your fingers, and the strange calm that can follow. There’s a shift here—from doing the work to living it—and it’s not as polished or performative as you might expect.
At the time of this conversation, Leo was also on the edge of becoming a father. There’s something subtle but weighty in that—like life asking, “Right, who are you really now then?”
As always, we wander. India, masculinity, truth, illusion, presence… the kind of tangents that don’t feel like tangents once you’re in them.
A small note—this was recorded before my own run-in with chronic pain, fatigue, and panic disorder. Life’s moved since then, for both of us. Still, this one felt worth sharing exactly as it is.
Ecstatic Dance
THE MUSIC DEALER
Meet my alter ego, Moksha.
Named after the Sanskrit word for liberation, Moksha embodies the belief that meditation is not only about stillness, but also about being fully present in movement. As an ecstatic dance DJ, I create a space where you can express, release, and connect with your inner self through the power of music and dance. Through movement meditation, you can free what has been trapped within, finding joy and release on the dance floor.
Join me at one of upcoming events, or if you’re interested in booking me for your own gathering, reach out today!
For those who couldn't make it to the Barefoot & Ecstatic dance on the 14th Feb, here’s a recording of the set for you to enjoy in your own home.
Meditation with Michael prioritises personal growth.
My main focus is to empower the individual through simple and innovative techniques that can be replicated in their personal life.
