Voice Alchemy Workshop and Vocal Sound Bath with Jayson Stilwell
Sunday 8th February 2026 1-4pm

Jayson’s invitation:

“Do you know the power that we hold within us in the unique sonic fingerprint of our voice? Do you know that this power is available to all of us with the use of simple techniques of breath and voice?

These simple tools are as powerful as any in terms of self-healing, grounding, personal transformation, healing for the Earth and much more.

What sets these techniques apart, is that they use the one thing that humans create without the use of any external tool or medium, our voice.

Sound from your voice is a bridge between your internal world of intention, thought and feeling, and the external world of physical manifestation.

During the first half of this event, I will share simple techniques of breath and voice that can unlock your birth-right of using your voice as a sacred tool. In the second half, I will share my own sound healing work through a vocal sound bath where you will be offered a comfortable, deep space of relaxation and healing”.

Suggested donation £30.

Contact Jayson on overtonejay@gmail.com or through Jayson Stilwell Sounds on Facebook for enquiries and bookings. Advance booking is recommended as places are limited.

Are you looking to connect with other women? Lucy has been running these women's circles at the Tara Centre in June and it's beautiful to see the circles grow and get bigger as more women find each other.

Having worked in nursing for a long time and supported women through grief, bereavement, pain and the highs and lows of life Lucy brings together her love of art, dancing, music, yoga, breathwork, journaling and drinking tea to create a gentle space for women to connect. Lucy has the gentlest of hearts that will bring out the biggest smile in you and she’ll make you feel so welcome, however you’re feeling.

You can book your ticket via Lucy's website.

** NEW CLASS ** Thursdays 5.30-6.30pm
Beginners Yoga with Eli

You don't need to be flexible to start yoga - yoga is a spiritual discipline of liberation involving breath, movement, postures, chanting, meditation, and importantly, ethical action. It's not about having the right clothes to wear, it's not about having the right body for practice. Yoga is for us all.

Join Eli for a weekly space to move your body, breathe a little deeper, and start where you are. Classes are slow and supportive, and there's no pressure to perform. If this is the first time you are doing something for yourself you are so welcome.

Come as you are.
Leave feeling a little more at home in your body.

Contact Eli on abuntiawellbeing@gmail.com or 07789477492 to book your place. ♥️

NEW CLASS STARTING TONIGHT (Wednesday) 5.30-6.30pm Qigong for Women with Silvia Rossi. ♥️

Silvia's invitation: "We will explore seasonal themes in association with the Chinese Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Through a gentle practice of slow intentional movements and meditations, in coordination with the breath, we will explore ways to embody the Elements’ qualities and nourish our organs and meridian system. This will create the conditions to lower stress levels and re-establish ease and balance in our body.

These ancient practices will combine forms from classic sequences, including the ‘Eight Silk Brocades’, ‘Shibashi’ and the ‘Five Animal Frolics’. We will use meditative Mudras, and imagery to facilitate a deeper alignment of mind and body."

Who the classes are for: Women, all ages and abilities will find support and empowerment through these classes.

Benefits : Qi Gong is a gentle movement practice. It is one of the pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been used for thousands of years as preventative medicine and to rebalance Body, Mind and Spirit. Qi Gong practices can be especially effective in supporting women navigating significant
life changes by increasing emotional stability and overall vitality, and ease associated physical symptoms.

First session £5.

I went to an exquisite sound session at the Centre yesterday with Jennifer Zimri Tucker and I really recommend you to do the same next week if you need an hour of rest and recuperation in your week. Jenni sang songs of togetherness, community and oneness in her native languages, offered the gentle rhythms of the drum, lulled us into an alternate reality with her singing bowls and offered time for silence and integration. Afterwards someone said their sinus congestion had cleared and at times the sound of their tinnitus had gone completely which was beautiful to hear. These sessions run every Wednesday 1.30-2.30pm £7.50 / £5 concession. If you’d like to come please text Jenni on 07876 501788 to book your place. ♥️

Today is the anniversary of our beautiful Tara, seen here with her equally beautiful mum Glenys, both of whom I still miss so much. If you’re new to us you might not know that we’re named in memory of our friend Tara Radcliffe who passed in 2010, aged 36. Tara was honestly one of the most interesting people I have ever met and my love for her remains as true today as it did when we were together. I remember her laughter and cheeky eyes and her massive hugs like we were together yesterday. We have these two angels guiding us in spirit and I know Tara makes sure we can always pay our rent! Sending much love to Finn and Connor and everyone who loved these two amazing women. I think they’d be proud of our little corner of the world. ♥️

Every month since 2017 we have run a low-cost therapies clinic offering free or donation-based access to complementary therapies. We all offer our time for free as a collective commitment to health justice for people living with the impacts of trauma, and I couldn't be more proud of our work. Each time we run these sessions my heart opens a little more. This month Laura offered Bowen therapy and we were joined for the first time by Tamara from Stillpoint Acupuncture. The next session is on 20th November and there are a few appointments still available so do book in if you're looking for some support with your health and wellbeing. We're here for you. ❤️
