As you step over the threshold into Circle space, you will have a sense of leaving the outside world at the door.  You will be met with a warm welcome as you enter the space. Your senses will be met with evocative music and the smell of essential oils fragrancing the air.

As women, we often wear various masks and play diverse roles, absorbing the energies of those around us. Circle serves as a sacred space where you can shed those masks, release the roles, and leave behind the energies you've been carrying for others. It's a place to be witnessed exactly as you are, free from judgment, without any attempts to 'fix' you. We don't offer advice; instead, we trust that each woman present is the heroine of her own story.

In a world where spaces for women to retreat, be nourished, and experience collective care are scarce, Circle stands out as a rare sanctuary.

The structure of my Circles is straightforward:

1 I introduce myself.

2 I invite you to introduce yourself.

3 There will be some poetry.

4 Meditation follows.

5 An opportunity for open sharing.

6 The Circle gently closes.

Feel free to share as much or as little as you like; all that's asked is to listen with an open heart. To maintain an intimate atmosphere, I limit attendance to ten participants. Keep an eye out for an email from me 24 hours before the event, and if you don't find it, please check your junk mail!

I can’t wait to welcome you over the threshold.

Once we have closed our Circle we will then embark on the final journey of the day with a beautiful and restorative EcoNIDRA practice.  Eco-Nidra™ is more than just a meditation; it's a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. Studies have shown that just one session equals the rejuvenation of 3-4 hours of restful sleep. In our busy modern lives, we often neglect the deep rest we truly need. Eco-Nidra™  helps us unwind, release tension, and discover a profound sense of peace. The real beauty of it is that it's accessible to everyone, even if meditation is a completely new concept to you or it's something you've struggled to do previously.  All that is required of you is to lie down and listen to my voice.

​In each session, we travel together on a triple journey; the first is a journey into our senses, the second is a pilgrimage through our bodies and the third takes us into the natural world through a specially curated soundscape. Each EcoNIDRA session lasts between 45-50 minutes and it's best practiced in the Shavasana position - lying down on your back.

What sets Eco-Nidra™ apart is its unique gift of reconnecting us to the natural world, reminding us that we are part of the interconnected web of life. It cultivates eco-consciousness, plants seeds of transformation and encourages acts of kindness.

I Am Transmission Sessions
This group experience of immense divine love, pure wisdom and intelligence moves to awaken inner soul love and acknowledgment of our true divine blueprint.
These are channelled energy transmissions working with higher realms of light, assisted beings and guides to awaken and connect to our Inner Source through a powerful transmission of love, light frequencies. This is a temple, a sanctuary for you to reconnect with your beautiful I AM Presence.

Transmissions are a multidimensional form of Healing where high frequency energies are channelled into the space. A download of higher light, love, codes, wisdoms, frequencies pour into the room and layer though the four bodies - Emotional, Mental, Physical and Spiritual. This then works to Cleanse, Bathe, Transform and Active our fields and consciousness with higher frequencies of light.
What to expect?
Throughout the Transmission itself you will be laying down on the yoga or exercise mat, with your intention set to receive, and the energy will do the rest.
The energies can be quite tangible and many feel a physical shower of light and elevation into bliss. During this time, the mind will begin to settle and the transformational journey begins. I work with an incredible source of love, channelling energies from the Christ Consciousness Grid (also known as the Planetary Light Grid) and working with Mother Earth (Goddess Gaia)The sacred space is set through intention and invitation of higher realms of light consciousness.
Throughout the transmission we will be working with your I AM Presence to ground all energies into your Consciousness, to remind you who you really are - Spirit incarnate in human form – this realisation allows for your own light to radiate out into all aspect of your daily life.
Transmission Benefits
Transmissions work to clear denser energies, emotions, patterns, beliefs within the physical and non-physical bodies. Allowing quantum leaps in releasing and transformation. The transmission is also designed to awaken gateways to access our own inner guidance, love and wisdom.
For many these sessions have led to phenomenal shifts in awareness, growth, happiness, love, joy, spiritual connection, realisations, synchronicities and inner peace. Some have immense transformations, others feel immense peace. Additionally there may not be anything consciously understood during the session and yet deeper unconscious work occurring. I work with the principle that everyone receives what they truly require on a soul level.

Chairs can be provided too.

There is a kitchen with plenty of options of tea, coffee and herbal  teas. There is also a fridge if you wish to use it to keep your lunch in

Click here to see a short video of the space we will be using. This video on Instagram was from a previous self love workshop.about letting go and embracing change. As we travel through darker, colder days and nights nature reminds us to let go and trust the natural rhythm of the seasons; the darkness is just as important as the light. We need both, just like the sun and the moon. One cannot exist without the other.

Equally, when it comes to self love, it important to learn to love and accept even the parts of us we may dislike, resist or neglect. It is important to recognise our own shadows and how they serve our growth and development.
 This retreat creates space for you acknowledge the dark and light within you, through self love and self compassion.

Quite often in the modern world our yin (receiving, feminine energy) and yang (giving, masculine energy) is out of balance.

“Applying Tai Chi Principles to Yang Style 8-Step Form”

Have you ever wondered how Tai Chi progresses from a movement exercise to an internal energy art?  It is the application of the Tai Chi principles to the basic choreography of the movements that makes that crucial difference!  Once you have learnt the eight postures in the Yang style 8-step form, the ten principles introduced at this workshop will allow you to discover the concepts of Tai Chi that underpin our practice, feeling a difference in how we perform our Tai Chi both physically and mentally.  Now is your chance to experience for yourself why people call Tai Chi “meditation in motion”!

Our 2024 Tai Chi workshops form a series that is suitable for novices starting with the basics, learning – step by step - the 8-step Tai Chi form, and then deepening their understanding and practice of Tai Chi with the introduction of Tai Chi principles.  Whilst the workshops are designed to work as a series of three, building upon the previous workshop(s), you have the option of choosing one or more of the workshops, depending on your previous experience.

A Sound / Gong Bath is a vibrational healing sensation that helps still the mind and soothe the soul. It can be an unforgettable experience for those who seek deep relaxation, rejuvenation and an acceleration of their inward journey. Time is suspended as you enter a world of vibration, sensation and experiences. Physical injuries may be healed, and old emotional traumas may be released. People may often find resolutions to emotional issues during this time.

This journey gives you the opportunity to explore yourself in a deeper level of consciousness. The healing vibrational sounds helps the physical and emotional states within the body to re-align and repair. This allows your body to find a natural calmness whilst allowing for space for insights and thoughts. You can feel truly, vibrantly alive. Once you’ve had your first Sound Bath you’ll want more.

Sound Therapy is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation, but it also has a way of moving through energy blockages in the body. The journey has been known to help ease many conditions such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, sleep disorders, MS, pain and autism. The sound healing vibrations help to release stress, allowing the whole body to enter into a deep relaxation of harmony and joyfulness.

Everything on Earth is made up from sound vibrations and each person is believed to have their own vibrational footprint. During a sound bath the aim is to help relax your body and mind so that you can experience the sound waves washing over you.

Most of the instruments are played from one place, however, occasionally they may be brought around the room and played over your body.

Please wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket and cushion to be warm and comfortable. Most people lie down during a Sound Bath, whereas some choose to sit in a comfortable chair.

No prior experience, effort or practice is required to participate. All welcome, However, please note sound therapy is not recommended for people with pacemakers or pregnant ladies in their 1st trimester. If you have any illnesses or aliments and are unsure if this experience will be suitable for you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Has something changed with your body, your health or your cycle and you just can’t quite put your finger on what? It’s possible you might be perimenopausal.
Perimenopause is the period leading up to menopause in which your hormones begin to fluctuate, leading to a variety of symptoms and often irregular cycles. It can last anything up to 10 years prior to the menopause itself.
In this workshop we’ll look at what’s going on with your hormones compared to your usual cycle and how those changes can lead to symptoms and effects in the body. Importantly, we’ll look at how you can support your body during this period, using specific foods and nutrients to support the production of hormones, helping to keep you more balanced.
We’ll also look at what to expect when you finally transition from peri- to postmenopause - with more on this in the nutrition for postmenopause workshop!
This workshop takes place at the beautiful Elephant Rooms in Draycott - a relaxing, welcoming place. Tickets are limited due to space available so book early to secure your place. Drinks, refreshments and handouts are included in the ticket price of £25.

Back by popular demand… It's our Jewellery Play Date in collaboration with Jo from Willow Moon Jewellery.
Donation based (suggested £5)

It's time to dig out your old jewellery, broken clasps, lost earrings or pieces you no longer wear anymore, as we're coming together to make other people's trash your new treasure! ✨

Jo is an experienced jeweller/silversmith and will be guiding us through creating new and unique designs by using basic beading, threading and wire techniques.  At the end of this relaxing craft session you'll have a new piece of jewellery to take home, all made from recycling those we no longer wear or use.

The play date was super popular last year, and we've no doubt it will quickly fill up. Secure your place and book by emailing Jo at willowmoonjewellery@gmail.com

‘Opportunities for mindful moments are all around us'
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced meditator, this session invites you to get creative with your mindfulness practices.  We will explore opportunities for mindfulness in our daily lives; with inspiration taken from nature, music, literature, our senses, and much more.   
This session may be of particular interest to those who have tried (and struggled) to connect with regular mindfulness and meditation practices.  Meditations in the session will be short, ranging from 5-10 minutes, so it is ideal for individuals who have previously tried meditation but found themselves prone to feeling 'distracted’, ‘restless’, or ‘bored’.
For experienced meditators, it is hoped that this session may offer interesting and simple ways to further develop your practice.

We will then move gently back down to earth for a Reiki Drum Journey/meditation. You may also (if you like) receive one to one Reiki Drum healing.

As you step over the threshold into Circle space, you will have a sense of leaving the outside world at the door.  You will be met with a warm welcome as you enter the space. Your senses will be met with evocative music and the smell of essential oils fragrancing the air.

As women, we often wear various masks and play diverse roles, absorbing the energies of those around us. Circle serves as a sacred space where you can shed those masks, release the roles, and leave behind the energies you've been carrying for others. It's a place to be witnessed exactly as you are, free from judgment, without any attempts to 'fix' you. We don't offer advice; instead, we trust that each woman present is the heroine of her own story.

In a world where spaces for women to retreat, be nourished, and experience collective care are scarce, Circle stands out as a rare sanctuary.

The structure of my Circles is straightforward:

1 I introduce myself.

2 I invite you to introduce yourself.

3 There will be some poetry.

4 Meditation follows.

5 An opportunity for open sharing.

6 The Circle gently closes.

Feel free to share as much or as little as you like; all that's asked is to listen with an open heart. To maintain an intimate atmosphere, I limit attendance to ten participants. Keep an eye out for an email from me 24 hours before the event, and if you don't find it, please check your junk mail!

I can’t wait to welcome you over the threshold.

Once we have closed our Circle we will then embark on the final journey of the day with a beautiful and restorative EcoNIDRA practice.  Eco-Nidra™ is more than just a meditation; it's a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. Studies have shown that just one session equals the rejuvenation of 3-4 hours of restful sleep. In our busy modern lives, we often neglect the deep rest we truly need. Eco-Nidra™  helps us unwind, release tension, and discover a profound sense of peace. The real beauty of it is that it's accessible to everyone, even if meditation is a completely new concept to you or it's something you've struggled to do previously.  All that is required of you is to lie down and listen to my voice.

​In each session, we travel together on a triple journey; the first is a journey into our senses, the second is a pilgrimage through our bodies and the third takes us into the natural world through a specially curated soundscape. Each EcoNIDRA session lasts between 45-50 minutes and it's best practiced in the Shavasana position - lying down on your back.

What sets Eco-Nidra™ apart is its unique gift of reconnecting us to the natural world, reminding us that we are part of the interconnected web of life. It cultivates eco-consciousness, plants seeds of transformation and encourages acts of kindness.

“Taiji Yang Sheng Zhang”

An exciting opportunity to use a smooth wooden stick as part of our Qigong.  The stick becomes an extension of our arms with all movements soft and slow, embodying the concept of harmony between yin and yang.  Guided by the stick, particularly through rotating our wrists and spinal column, stretching the upper back and shoulders, we can stimulate the circulation of qi and blood, relaxing our muscles and bones to balance yin and yang, keeping fit and healthy.

Suitable for beginners to Qigong, Angela will demonstrate the movements and explain the associated traditional Chinese medicine health benefits.  For improvers to Qigong, Angela will tailor the workshop so that you can refine the movements and benefit from a deeper practice.
This Qigong full-day workshop is priced at £55, celebrate World Health Qigong Day with Angela!

This workshop will have a specific focus on hope, and the ability to be hopeful.
Hope is more of a trait than an emotion & this enables us to “tap’ into other traits/emotions such as optimism, faith & resilience. For some of us, it will be easier to access these emotions than for others, however we can develop/improve our ability with practice.
Over time we may find that we can access more positive feelings than negative ones which are always beneficial to our wellbeing. Yoga reinforces all of these concepts in its teachings & gives us the tools to navigate challenging times. This seems all the more relevant with everything that is going on in the World right now, it can be so easy to feel hopeless so accessing these teachings is such a powerful gift.
During the session we will explore all of these themes using Asana, Meditation & Pranayama with the aim of feeling much more in control of our emotions by the end.

Please note the session will not be suitable for complete beginners.

'Summer turning into Autumn:  All things must pass...'

In this session you are invited to find fuller self-acceptance through attending to how we act in the present moment.  

So often we fear what may be to come and we look back at what opportunities we may have missed.  Sometimes the opinions of others about us can limit our expectations of ourselves.

Observing our feelings and thoughts can lead to asking questions about our experiences and about what others may say about us.

We are more than we think and we are more than others may say...

Drop in - no need to book.

Our time together will start with meditation and pranayama to allow us to ground into the moment, bring awareness within and begin to settle into our rest and digest nervous system. We will then sink into restorative yoga allowing space to gently ease away the tension of the day using as many props, cushions and blankets as we need.
After the restorative yoga, time will be given to allow ourselves to receive the positive energy of sound healing instruments as we continue to find ease with all the tools of comfort available to us. This restful evening will be tailored to you as much as possible.
There will be space for feedback and sharing experiences at the end 🙏🏿

Cost for this event £30

A Workshop specifically designed for those students who are interested in Yin Yoga and Daoism. The Dantians have roots in both Daosim and Buddhism.
During the session session, we will explore how focusing on the Dantians (energy storehouses) can enable us to feel a little more balanced and supported. They are said to “store” or “contain” our energetic selves and translate as “fields or elixir”.
The Dantians link into our physical selves, our emotional/empathetic selves and also our spiritual selves. Similar but not similar to the Chakra system. Their location is in the Taji Pole (loosely the spine).
As with all of the Yin practices the aim is to cultivate and conserve our energy, and to have balance. During the afternoon as well as the Yin yoga postures we will be using meditation, and guided imagery with breath work to tap into these beautiful ‘fields of energy”. Hopefully leaving you with a sense of calmness.

The workshop will not be suitable for beginners to yoga. Mats, blankets etc are available at the Elephant Rooms but you may wish to bring your own
