About this Event

Morning : OPEN YOUR HEART 10am-1pm

Wild Words Workshop ~ Hearing Our Own Voices: a Somatic Writing Practice.
Re-write Your Life ~ words have the power to uncover our deepest subconscious wishes.
We can begin the path to resolving pain, confusion and trauma by giving your body a voice - because it is in our subconscious mind-body connection that our deepest, oldest memories are stored, not in our conscious minds.
We heal in layers. Our mind resists because it wants to keep us stuck. But through the layers of our words we can begin to release something that our bodies know we need to heal.
Understand how words have shaped you, through meaning, memory and identity. We uncover subconscious patterns in playful ways and begin to notice where we do, or don’t, allow ourselves to hear our own beliefs, thoughts and emotions.

Be guided through a mind-body grounding to welcome you into the space of permission to rest and care for your beautiful Self. And a transformative guided visualisation, a gentle journey to your re-find your deepest self.

We allow our subconscious messages to spill onto the page through the knowing our bodies. You will be surprised how these words flow for you – you do not have to be a ‘writer’. These words flow, if you allow them, without your interference! I have had teenagers and anxious guests asking for more time! It’s quite a special process, if you’re ready to feel the magic.

So set yours free; find out who you really are & what you really want.
If you are a sensitive soul - gentle yet intense, creative & strong, and most of all brave & ready to uncover your wholeness - this is for you.


Afternoon : SOOTHE YOUR SOUL 2-5pm

Ways To Be Mindful In Your Everyday & How To Meditate When Trying Makes You Anxious
Live mindfully, we’re told. Meditation helps stress, they tell us.

We know they’re right, but knowing where to start, and how to develop our skills, can feel overwhelming. Where do we start, what do I actually Do!?
And the overwhelm can lead us to give up because knowing where to start is just too stressful when you’re already living with anxiety and depression.

This is exactly where I was a few short years ago. Too angry to be mindful, too anxious to meditate - in fact the more I concentrated on relaxing, the faster my heart would pound! Just awful.

And then I had an epiphany about how I was seeing my world. I saw things in a whole different way. And I suddenly saw appear in front of my eyes the steps that took me from a second of awareness at a time all the way to where I am now - able to sit with a quiet mind for 20 minutes - and if your still reading this you’ll understand that this feels like an amazing miracle.

Now I’m going to share my path - I’ve worked out the steps to make it easy for you to start, wherever you are now. I will introduce these methods in a way, and with explanations, that make complete sense. You can learn how simple changes of perspective can create big shifts in your world.

Three sessions are included:

One: How everyday mundane and frustrating events can be turned into to moments of peace and presence. With practices.

Two: How mindfulness and awareness of our emotional reactions can be changed to self-awareness, conscious communication and an improvement in our relationships, leading to a greater peace with our circumstances and choices.

Three: How the word meditation can be de-mystified and create space for us to see things clearly. We will practice at least 3 ways, and you will gain an understanding of just how many ways you can meditate – and why - even for a minute at a time, in a noisy crowd!


No whistles or bells, just practical advice to help you live your days more peacefully.


You’ll be held in a strong and boundaried way by me, Yolanda, a trained Somatic Attachment Therapist, Positive Intelligence & Conscious Life Coach and Circle Facilitator, with specialism in Conscious Communication & Relationships, and who creates safe spaces for self-inquiry and expression.


Each 3-hr session includes a wellness bag full of information and goodies, and a gift that will anchor you in this practice long after the day.

The price for each workshop (if booked separately) is £70, the price for both is £120. If you’d like to book a meal for lunchtime, let me know and I can get you booked in to Colin Nash, or bring your own lunch to eat outside if the weather is kind.

To book only one workshop, please see ticket options menu.
