Welcome to Naked Dragon

If this is your first visit here, we hope you enjoy the experience and find some useful information on our website.

About

Launched in May 2011, Naked Dragon was created to provide a platform to bring the best of today’s inspirational teachers and performers to the Surrey area through a series of talks, workshops and holistic events. As word is beginning to spread, we are delighted to be building a supportive community of like-minded individuals regularly gathering together to share mutual interests and experiences.

With a desire to create memorable experiences for all our guests and speakers; our events are held within stylish venues chosen for their unique style and ambiance – where great dining is often available at very reasonable prices.

We have some wonderful events lined up for the coming year and if you live in Surrey – or the surrounding counties – there is no longer a need to incur the hassle and costs of travelling to central London to hear these great speakers and performers. Now you can just hop in the car and travel to our beautiful venue in Chertsey. We are based just a few minutes drive from junction 11 of the M25…and the parking is FREE!

Even if you don’t live locally, please sign up for our Monthly Newsletter as we often feature great offers from our fellow event organisers and other associated companies. And if you also sign up for our Blog Updates you will be sent the latest news items and reviews - Hot Off the Press!

We look forward to meeting you soon.

Namaste,

Meet the Team

Julie Bryant
Founder and Creative Director

Bringing a holistic approach to her work as a successful interior designer, clutter consultant and property stager; Julie created many beautiful and intimate interiors for a diverse portfolio of UK and International Clients.

Supporting her clients’ to create a home that reflected their true selves, she noticed that as their surroundings began to transform and the energy of their living space began to change, they would feel more inspired and energised – with an increased sense of inner peace and well-being.

Recognising that ‘as within – so without’…Julie began to explore the ultimate interior – of our minds. Guided by her spiritual teachers, Julie embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery. She learnt that by changing her belief systems and thought patterns, her external world would begin to reflect these positive changes.

Removing the layers of self-protection she had built around her to reveal the essence of her ‘Naked’ self, she was re-connected with her inner fire and passion for life. By learning to live in an authentic and empowering way; her life was magically transformed as she breathed fire back into her soul and became open to receiving the joys of unlimited abundance, love and well-being.

With a passion to share these inspired teachings with others, Julie created Naked Dragon to provide a platform for some of today’s most inspirational speakers and authors – as well as supporting talented spiritual artists and performers.

Julie is the creative inspiration behind Naked Dragon; working closely with web designer Richard Strauss, whose endless patience ensures that  the technical side of things run smoothly; she is responsible for the visual aspects and written content of the website and all marketing materials.

With a natural gift for effortlessly handling many details, combined with a talent for keeping her eye on the bigger picture, Cim’s expertise ensures that our events run smoothly and result in memorable experiences for all.

As a communications professional and qualified life coach – when Cim isn’t weaving her magic at Naked Dragon – she can be found working with women who want to create more loving and intimate relationships by ‘Rediscovering their Sparkle’ through one of her successful coaching programmes and workshops…or by connecting with their body, mind, spirit and emotions at one of her hugely popular weekly Nia dance classes held in Chertsey and Woking, Surrey.

Having overcome some serious health challenges with an amazingly positive attitude, Cim is a real inspiration and we are truly blessed to have her on board as a much valued member of the Naked Dragon team.
