Meet your facilitators:

Yusra Roberts is a Reiki Master and sound healing practitioner whose work centers on guiding individuals and communities back into presence, connection, and inner harmony. Through the medicine of Reiki and the resonant tones of Himalayan singing bowls, she facilitates deeply restorative one-on-one sessions and group journeys, as well as retreats, ceremonies, and immersive healing experiences.

Her practice weaves together ancient wisdom traditions with modern approaches to mindfulness and wellbeing. Yusra believes that healing begins with intention — in the way we show up, the rituals we cultivate, and the practises that invite us to slow down and return home to ourselves. Through mindful ritual and embodied awareness, she encourages people to integrate sacred practises into their everyday lives, creating space for deeper presence, reflection, and connection.

At the heart of Yusra’s work is a reverence for ancestral knowledge and the ways these practises nourish the body, the spirit, and the relationship between people and the land. By remembering and integrating these traditions into contemporary life, she supports the creation of a more balanced and conscious way of living — one that honors both present and future generations.

The medicine she holds space for invites a shift not only in lifestyle, but in one’s way of being. Through Reiki and sound healing, individuals are supported in gently transforming dense or stagnant energies into more loving, expansive states of vibration. This process opens the heart, grounds the body, and deepens awareness of the interconnectedness between personal healing and the wider collective.

For Yusra, this work extends beyond the individual. It is an offering to the collective, to the earth, and to all living beings — a practice of remembering our place within the greater web of life and returning to a more harmonious way of being with ourselves, each other, and the land. 

We hope you will join us on the 11th.

Dear community,
Thank you for your patience, love and encouragement.
It is received with arms wide open and deep gratitude.

We return with a range of different offerings.
With the intention to share space and as always to be a part of our collective journey home to self, to source.

Holding Space presents: Breathwork
Facilitated by Sujeewa Jaya

Breath is one of the oldest medicines we carry.
Before language, before story — there was breath.
This guided breathwork journey is an invitation to soften, release, and reconnect with the intelligence of your body. Through intentional breathing practices, we create space to regulate the nervous system, access stored emotions, and reconnect with a deeper sense of inner alignment.
No prior experience is necessary — simply arrive as you are.
This session will be held in a gentle, supportive container guided by Sujeewa Jaya, creating space for exploration, restoration, and presence.

Saturday, 14 March
Arrival: 09:00
Session begins: 09:30
Closing: 12:00

Your ticket includes a light snack and drink to enjoy after the session as we slowly land back together.

Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the container intimate.
