An Introduction to Heart Meditation – A gentle journey into stillness, connection & compassion

When life gets loud and you become overwhelmed by the noise, your heart is your quietest sanctuary.

Join us for a nourishing two-hour introduction to heart meditation—simple practices bringing awareness and balance.

Through guided practice, reflection and gentle exploration, we’ll discover how heart-centred meditation can reconnect us with the quiet space within; grow in kindness and heart-full presence in everyday life.

No previous meditation experience is needed. Come exactly as you are.

There is no charge for this session, any donations offered will go to Heart of Living Yoga Foundation

Community Grief Tending Ritual
– an opportunity to express our grief & honour our losses

Based on the work of Joanna Macy & Molly Young Brown, we will gather in tending a compassionate healing space to voice our grief, sorrow, anger and fear through shared connection and expression.

“The problem lies not with our pain and confusion about the world, but in our repression of it” Joanna Macy

Whether you are experiencing personal loss of a loved one, a major life transition or a heavy heart for the world, you are welcome just as you are.

No-one is expected to “fix” anything, simply be present to witness and honour each other’s hearts.

There is no charge for this community event.

This event will be small and spaces limited to 8. Spaces must be pre-booked at www.maggiemckeen.com/booking

New Online Yoga Sutras Study Circle

I’m offering this ongoing, relaxed space to explore the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali through both traditional (masculine) and contemporary (feminine) lenses. You are warmly invited to join.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is an Indian classical text of yoga philosophy and psychology and remains a precious, practical guide for daily living.

We will honour the structure, clarity and discipline of the classical teachings whilst also making space for intuitive lived experience – allowing both perspectives to deepen our understanding.

This will be a relaxed, heart-centred circle where we will read a few sutras, sit with them and share what comes up. Nothing to “get right”, just a space to reflect, listen and connect.

Each session will include:

*A short heart-centred meditation
*Reading a few sutras and exploring their meaning
*Open sharing of insights, questions and real-life examples (only if you wish to)

There’s no need to know anything in advance and it is ok to drop in and out of these session as you wish.

The texts you require to explore in the circles will be:

1. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Sri Swami Satchidananda

2. The Secret Power of Yoga: A Women’s Guide to the Heart & Spirit of the Yoga Sutras (second edition)

Cost: £10 per session
Maximum 12 spaces

(if finances are a challenge please book the community ticket)

If your heart feels called, it would be lovely to sit in circle together.

Usui Heart-Centred Reiki Level 2 Training

Reiki Level 2 builds on the foundation of Level 1, offering practical tools to deepen self-care and support others with clarity and intention.

Why Reiki Level 2?
• To strengthen consistency in your self-healing practice
• To learn symbols as tools to focus, amplify, and direct universal life force energy more efficiently
• To support emotional patterns and stress with greater steadiness
• To offer Reiki to others in a clear, respectful way
• To explore the practice of distance Reiki

This level emphasizes presence, ethics, and grounded application—bringing Reiki into real life, not just the treatment room

Reiki Level 2 expands our capacity to work with others. With that comes responsibility, clarity, and care. In this training you will explore in depth the following core ethical principles of a Reiki practitioner.

Core Ethical Principles:
• Consent first — Reiki is offered, never imposed
• Humility — Reiki supports healing; it does not replace medical or mental health care
• Non-attachment — We do not fix, diagnose, or promise outcomes
• Clear boundaries — Emotional, physical, and energetic boundaries are essential
• Confidentiality — What is shared in session stays private
• Self-practice first — Ongoing self-Reiki keeps the work grounded and ethical
• Respect autonomy — Each person is the authority of their own body and choices

Distance Reiki Ethics:
• Always ask permission before sending
• Work with intention, not control
• Trust the recipient’s system to receive what is appropriate

Reiki Level 2 is not about power—it is about presence, responsibility, and integrity.

Small group, maximum 6 students.

Usui Reiki 1 certification is a pre-requisite. A copy of your certificate is required to book.

Case studies require to be completed prior to receiving your certificate.

You will be asked to undertake a small amount of pre-course reading and reflection prior to attending the training day
