HEALTH & WELLBEING 

"Inspiring minds, connecting hearts, building community" 


​THE ART & SCIENCE OF ASTROLOGY

How can you possibly understand the other people in your life when you hardly understand yourself? This is a start-from-scratch introduction to Astrology for those who know nothing much as well as those who have some knowledge. We will explore how planetary positions and their cycles play out through the signs and houses of the horoscope. Astrology can be used as a tool for personal growth and healing. You will discover the aspects in your own chart in a way that explains much about your personality, your strengths and weak-nesses, and your response to events. Join our tutor Francis Evans, an experienced astrological counsellor and certified practitioner of NLP.

CONVERSATION WITH YOUR BODY 

Listening to and valuing your body’s natural wisdom is key to building a healthy relationship with yourself. Each of us holds deep inner knowledge, and the Body Dialogue Process helps you access it through conscious communication with your body and its many parts. This approach, called Conversation with Your Body, has shown encouraging results where traditional pain management hasn’t always worked. It involves gently and compassionately connecting with areas of pain or discomfort, viewing symptoms as meaningful messages about your wellbeing. Healing begins when you listen with kindness rather than resist or ignore your body’s signals. This course offers simple, safe, and practical techniques for exploring body dialogue. Your tutor, Aiko Fukumoto, is a self-healing Health Mentor, trained in massage therapy and a Qigong instructor.

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM: A Gentle Path Back to Self

Winter has a way of inviting us to slow down, pause, and listen a little more deeply. This workshop is for those who feel tired, overwhelmed, stretched, tense, emotionally drained, or simply curious about understanding their nervous system in a softer, more compassionate way. Over two gentle days, we’ll explore how the nervous system responds to stress, survival patterns, overwhelm, and everyday life — without making it complicated or clinical. You’ll learn simple, practical tools to help support calm, connection, grounding, and a greater sense of safety within yourself. This is not about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding yourself. It’s about learning how to come back to your body, your breath, your centre, and your own inner steadiness. Reconnecting With Your Nervous System, a gentle path back to self.
