The Isis Centre January 2026 Newsletter
Hi Everyone
I hope everyone is safe and not been affected too much by the recent storm.
A storm is always a good clearing on many levels. Nature shedding old twigs and leaves ready for the energy to rise in the spring - everything always seems brighter and clearer afterward. Where else do we need to have a clear out in our lives – physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually? Reconnecting to that peaceful place within us and to the natural world around us. I personally am feeling that something has cleared and I am feeling really energised.
Before we go any further - a plea – Please do not come to The Isis Centre if you feeling unwell in any way including sore throats, coughs, sneezes, or tummy bugs etc as we can have vulnerable people attending events. Please stay snuggled at home until all symptoms have cleared before returning – Thank you for your co-operation
We have plenty on offer to support you in restoring your energy or clearing any blocks that might be preventing you from moving forward.
We would like to welcome some new faces to our team – all very experienced in their field

Hello everyone, my name is Judy Dickson.
After 43 years working as a Physiotherapist specialising in Chronic Pain management, orthopaedics and rehab following surgery, I retired from mainstream work and now teach Pilates. I was trained by the Australian Physiotherapy Pilates institute 30 years ago and have taught modified Pilates throughout my career.
The classes are aimed to help people who require a good understanding of exercise and movement in order to improve their mobility, strength and confidence. I believe that age is no barrier to physical improvement.
I teach two classes on Weds mornings at 9.30 and 11 am.
If you are interested, please contact me to discuss what’s on offer. Tel 07797 718403
Come and have some fun and tap into your potential!
6 Weeks Beginner Yoga Series with Imogen Wilson starting 5th February
This series will be hosted by Imogen Wilson, qualified now for 7 years, she holds a Certification for 800 hours of traditional Hatha training at The Byron Yoga Centre in Australia.
It aims to open a window into a practise that brings awareness to the body and the mind through movement and stillness.
Each weekly session will be held for a traditional 90 minutes, which will be broken into 60 minutes of movement, where we will shift energy, gain strength and release muscle tension. Followed by 30 minutes of stillness, where we will develop breathe awareness, how to navigate the mind and the basics of yoga philosophy.
The series is aimed at beginners but open to any level of practise if you’re wishing to go deeper into the basics, slow down your practise and have a balance of movement and stillness within each class, each week.
Why 6 weeks?
* So that you can feel the benefits of yoga through consistency.
* So that you can learn and integrate basic tools and movements to develop your own practise at home.
* So that you get accountability and support, over the 6 weeks, as you build the connection with your body and mind.
Why might this practise change your life?
“It changed mine. It opened a door into my body and my awareness that i had never opened before. It allowed me to grow a relationship with my body and my mind which has shaped my understanding of how we show up in the world, how we show up in our relationships and how we show up for ourselves.”
Who is this series for?
* Anyone wanting to try yoga and learn the basics.
* Anyone wanting to build a consistent practise at home.
* Anyone wanting to develop a relationship with their body and mind in a safe space. * Anyone wanting to learn and feel the benefits of movement on the body.
* Anyone wanting to learn and feel the benefits of stillness on the mind.

Awakening Meditation Journey – 10-Week Series starting 24th February 2026
The Awakening Meditation Journey is a 10-session course designed to guide participants gently from grounding in the physical body, through awakening subtle energy, deepening inner awareness, opening the heart, and finally resting in spacious stillness.
This is a gradual, nurturing journey that mirrors the natural unfolding of spiritual awakening. Rather than working towards a destination, the focus is on integration, presence, and being supported within a consistent group space.
This course offers different pathways into meditation, recognising that stillness does not always begin by sitting quietly. Across the 10 weeks, meditation is explored through a range of practices including gentle movement, breath, sound, dance, and guided awareness, allowing each participant to discover what best supports them in settling, opening, and connecting inwardly.
Each session will be held and guided by Louise Lancashire, founder of Ancestral Soul Healing, with collaboration from a range of experienced facilitators who will each bring their own modality and expertise to the journey. Together, the sessions move through body, energy, mind, heart, insight, and deep rest, creating a balanced and supportive container.
Session overview includes:
Body Scan & Grounding – Louise Lancashire
Qigong – Carmen Eva
Osho Kundalini Meditation – Carrie Wilkinson
Dance & Free Movement – Carrie Wilkinson
Chakra Balancing Meditation – Louise Lancashire
Transformative Breath work – Tina Hesse
Labyrinth Journey – Justine Taylor
Loving-Kindness Meditation – Tina Hesse
Yoga Nidra – Carla Martini
Crystal Bowl Sound Journey – Sheila Coutanche
Many people feel drawn to meditation but believe they are “not very good at it” or that their mind is too busy. This journey is designed with that in mind. By offering different approaches including movement, breath, sound and guided awareness, participants are supported in finding a way into meditation that feels natural and accessible to them, rather than forcing stillness before the body and nervous system are ready.
This course is suitable for those who feel the call to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and be held within a supportive and intentional group setting. No previous meditation experience is required.
Dates: Every Tuesday from 24th February to 28th April 2026
Time: 7.00pm – 9.00pm
Location: The Isis Centre
Investment: £270 for all 10 sessions. (3 places available at half price)
Spaces: Limited to 15 participants
To enrol or for further information, please email: healing@ancestralsoulhealing.org

About Me
I’m Mia, a somatic meditation and movement guide trained with Somatic Dance
International, rooted in body-based, nature-led practice. I work as a somatic practitioner

Medicine Women Movement - Shamanic Drum Birthing Weekend. 1st – 3rd May
Wild Moon • Drum Birthing • Rattle Making • Cacao & Dance Ceremony • Beltane Prayer
You are warmly invited on a sacred journey of creation, ceremony, and belonging.
This deeply immersive drum birthing weekend is a soulful initiation into creativity, sisterhood, and ritual. Held over the luminous Beltane Full Moon, we gather to birth Shamanic Frame Drums as soul vessels and Riverstone Rattles as songful companions.
Together we will journey with:
Wild land and elemental prayer
Ceremonial cacao
Movement, dance, and embodied ritual
Stillness, song, and wild prayer
All held within a safe, grounded, and sacred ceremonial container.
Drum & Rattle Making
We work with ethically sourced, hand-prepared materials, using water buffalo skins chosen for their strong, warm tones and deep, gentle womb resonance. Each drum and rattle is entirely unique and personally crafted, becoming a lifelong ally and ceremonial companion.
This is a nourishing and memorable way to spend meaningful time together—many hands making light work, making light, making Earth.
We will spend time outdoors with the sweet land—ash and granite, sun and stars, mist and moonbeams—heart-sharing, soul-singing, and honouring the creative pulse that moves through us all.
Come as you are.
We all carry scars—and yet, together, we make beauty.
We close the weekend by blessing these gorgeous drums, like full bellies of soul memory and guidance, planting hope and praise into the fertile Earth.
Spaces are limited. Advance booking is essential.
Date: Friday 1st – Sunday 3rd May inclusive
Venue: The Isis Centre

Teledote discs – available at The Isis Centre
What is Teledote – it is a natural energy antidote developed with Phytobiophysics principles. It uses plant-based essences and vibrational science to: Neutralize harmful EMF frequencies. Restore your body’s Energy balance. Support cellular harmony.
The benefits are: Shields you from everyday radiation exposure, clears fog caused by digital stress, improves sleep and reduces stress by supporting natural rhythms for better rest and calmness. It also strengthens vitality by enhancing your body’s resilience against environment stress – safe for all ages
I have measured a person’s energy field with dowsing without them holding their phone and then holding their phone. With the phone their energy field shrinks significantly then holding a Teledote the energy field does not shrink. They are the size of a 10P piece and can stick on your phone or other EMF devices) I highly recommend them. Contact me if you would like to find out more or test out one
1:1 sessions are available with myself – I tailor sessions to meet the client’s needs according to where they are at that moment in time – sessions may include Reiki healing, Crystal healing, Shamanic healing, Chakra balancing or a Crystal Card reading and soon Akashic Record readings.
