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:
-
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Sri Swami Satchidananda
-
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.
Sundays 21st June, 19th July & 16th August – ongoing monthly

Orkney Retreat: Longing & Belonging
with Carrie Day and Maggie McKeen
A retreat with the land and restorative practice on the Island of ORKNEY, Scotland
Longing and Belonging is a deep immersion with the land and with the life we each have been given. It operates through the theme of return. We begin at Autumn Equinox and travel through the Virgo Full moon on Saturday. We contemplate the journey behind us through the Summer and the passage through Autumn, to the Winter Solstice and the direction of North.
To return is to turn again, or to come back to something. In the act of return a sacred anchor is laid at a place in our lives. Life is a journey of many returns, culminating in the final reconnaissance with the place from which we were originally birthed. The island of Orkney in the far north of Scotland holds liminal perspectives on the realms beyond this one and long traditions of practice on this land that hold space for communication with what lies beyond. We will join together in focus and play to chase our longing for what calls most deeply to us and to move into states of enriched connection and conversations with this earth and its keepers.
The retreat is designed for searchers and visionaries to go deep with the sites, spirits and ancient space holders of the island of Orkney to uncover individual and collective balance. The work constitutes as Dreamers Retreat, North a series of 4 retreats, beginning in 2022 with West (Isle of Seil) 2023 with East (Fife) and now in 2026 the North is reached
This is a residential creative retreat based close to the ancient site of Skara Brae and the mystical Harray Loch, venturing into the ancient landscape, for people looking to listen more deeply to the mysteries of life, death and the land. We will be sleeping in the story fields of the Ring of Brodgar and Maes Howe. This retreat is the domain of the element of North and the mysteries of the body and of life and death.
Working with the rivers and lochs, stones and mounds, past, present and future on Mainland Orkney we will preparing for the time of balance and opening gateways to the underworlds and into the cellular body at Autumn Equinox. With ancestor constellation work, mysteries of death and life pathways, portals through the body and the land, grief tending and ceremony, release of trauma holding, creative practice and deep listening.
With single roomed accommodation. Self catering for meals with ingredients provided cooking for self and together.

Harmony & Balance Retreat
Join Prasanna, Vishwam and friends for the sixth annual Harmony & Balance Retreat & Pilgrimage in the Spittal of Glenshee (Glen of the Fairies) where four glens meet. Together we will visit sacred sites in the area and enjoy heart expanding practices that help restore natural harmony and balance to our world.
Leaving behind the crumbling pyramid structure of patriarchy, we will explore together how to live in circles of equals prioritising compassion, critical thinking, creativity and autonomy as practical skills for our bright new tomorrow! The retreat takes inspiration from the divine feminine wisdom of Mary Magdalene and 12th century Rhineland Christian mystic St Hildegard of Bingen, Scottish mystic & writer Nan Shepherd, and the heart teachings of Heart Of Living Yoga and Rev. Padma Devi. Through deep heart connection and contemplation, we will practice listening to the land itself to learn more about how our beloved Mother Earth would like to help us to live in greater harmony both within ourselves and with all of her other children.

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

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.
