Pathways to Wellness 2025 – A Weekend to Remember

What an extraordinary weekend it has been. From our Friday evening celebration to the Saturday conference, The Monastery was alive with connection, inspiration, and heart. It was everything we hoped it would be — a true reflection of the Active Health Group community and the power of integrative, compassionate practice.

Friday evening set the tone perfectly. Thank you to the incredible Elva Perinaud from The Robins Voice in Didsbury, our wonderful singing coach, whose breathtaking vocals filled The Monastery and touched us all. And to Charlie Brittain and Kirstie Simson, whose deeply moving dance performance expressed what words could not — pure embodiment, emotion, and grace.

On Saturday, our Pathways to Wellness Conference brought together some of the most inspiring voices in integrative health — people we truly love and admire. Thank you to our speakers Dr Rosy Daniel, Izabella Natrins, Dr Rosemary Nyabadza, Dawn Rothwell, Charlie Brittain, and Beth Tennant, and to our contributors Nikki, Nikolay, Christo, and Patrick, for sharing your expertise, compassion, wisdom, and energy.

A huge thank you to Kirsty and Tanya for their stellar catering — keeping us all nourished across two days; to Carl for making sure everyone had a full glass on Friday evening; and to Richard and Gill for your invaluable support on the day. To Chris and Vicky, who ensured everything ran smoothly on the tech side — two absolutely wonderful people! To Sanam for the oodles of photos and videos of the event, and of course, thank you to Lois and the Monastery events team for their professionalism and care throughout.

Thanks also to Siobhan for her amazing visual representation of the conference, and to our stallholders for supporting us with such enthusiasm.

To everyone who joined us — whether in person or via livestream — thank you. You made this milestone weekend unforgettable. It was wonderful connecting with so many of you.

And finally, thank you to everyone who has trained and worked with us over the past 25 years, for your support, encouragement, and the part you’ve played in this incredible journey.

Here’s to 25 years of Active Health Group… and to the next chapter of connection, healing, and hope.

With much love,
Richard and Christian 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
