Date: Wednesday 4th October
Time: 10am – 5pm
Cost: £60
Whether you have yet to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and begin your masterpiece, or have it somewhere gathering dust because life has just got too busy, or you simply want to come and see what you can create…
Why not gift yourself the space and time to do nothing but write?
Grab your laptop or your notepad and pen and join me for a day where you can focus on nothing but writing, far away from the countless everyday distractions that seem to always get in the way.
Although this is not a taught event, I will be on hand all day to answer questions and offer advice if requested, based on my 15 years of writing/publishing experience.
Maximum 8 spaces available. Places must be booked in advance.
To book, email me at mail@dkhenderson.com. You’ll find full information on the Write From The Heart retreat on my website at www.dkhenderson.com/wfth23
PS: There will be cake
I'm Dawn Henderson, author & storyteller and I love to write and share my stories with the world. To date, I've published 10 books - 6 in the much-loved Skull Chronicles series, the short novel Heel Lead and the non-fiction Forgotten Wings and Starspeak volumes.

Wednesday 4th October - Autumnal Sound Bath and meditation evening for harmony and nourishment
Date: Wednesday 4th October
Time: 6pm - 8pm
Join Lynda for an evening of Sound Healing with an intention of bringing in more harmony, stillness, a time to slow down and pause. A journey connecting the heart, body and mind to bring you into deep awareness of your energy field. A time to recognise the gifts of the season left behind. To shed any stuck energy that doesn’t support you in this season of autumn and welcome in the energy that you desire most. To experience more flow and ease as you move forward. A deeply loving practice promoting emotional and physical healing at the sacred site of Avebury.
It is believed that memories and emotions sit within the body. By immersing in pure therapeutic sounds, we can start to shift blocked energy, which helps bring us back into a natural balance. Sound harmonises from within and can bridge healing across the physical, emotional and mental bodies. To find out more about this event and to book on, click on the link below.

Sunday 8th October - Womb & Voice Healing Ceremony
Date: Sunday 8th October
Time: 6:30pm - 9pm
Energy Exchange: £50
In this deeply nurturing ceremony Francesca guides you inwards as you immerse yourself in your womb-space, connecting with all that your womb is ready to show you so that you can lovingly witness and give her a voice, activating profound healing to that which you have silently - and perhaps unknowingly - been carrying deep within her.
The Womb is the seat of our Feminine Power. Yet very early on in life most of us get cut off from this deeply sacred part of ourselves. And in doing so, we lose our connection with the fullness of our power. Whether this disconnection comes from repression related to family, religious or societal values, direct physical and/or emotional trauma of any kind, miscarriage, stillbirth or other birth-related trauma, or from generational trauma carried down from your ancestors and the Collective, this ceremony offers you a safe, loving and nurturing space to rediscover and strengthen your connection with the all-embracing, loving power of your energetic womb-space (whether or not you still have a physical womb).
During the ceremony Francesca will gently guide you to make the connection between your womb and your voice, so that, as far as you feel comfortable to do so, you can use your voice to give vocal expression as part of your releasing and healing process.
Francesca will be working intuitively, using her Shamanic drum and voice to guide you inwards, and do whatever is needed in the moment to support you energetically as you access your own healing potential.
This Ceremony is suitable for all women, young and old, including those who no longer have a physical womb.
Maximum 8 spaces available.
Attendance by pre-booking only. Contact Francesca on 07377 408965 / reconnectedwoman@gmail.com.
Please note access to this event is on the first floor only accessible via a set of stairs and thus unfortunately is not accessible for those who cannot climb stairs.

Wednesday 1st November - A Past Life Journey - Deepening into your inner trust - Infused with Reiki
Date: Wednesday 1st November
Time: 6pm - 8pm
Do you listen to your internal voice, those feelings in the gut/heart when you simply 'know' what decisions to make? Do you sometimes find yourself seeking outside validation before you make the next move? If so, does it sometimes get in the way of opportunities and living in flow? Do you sometimes wish you'd just listened to your instinct when it first spoke to you?
What would life be like for you if you could trust in your intuition and your decisions more easily? For those who Lynda supports, they typically find it leads to increased freedom, flow, ease, confidence in self. It also leads to more joy and personal growth because your soul knows the way and only wants what is for your highest good. You can choose to live a life aligned with this.
Join Lynda for an evening of journeying into a life or lives where you fully embodied trusting in yourself and your intuition. You will be able to see, sense or feel, in the way that you do this remembrance, to gain insights and awareness to help you in your current life and take these gifts into future moments to anchor these new energies. This will be a time of self discovery, of transformation and healing. Hattie from Animal Echo will join Lynda in holding the room in the loving embrace of reiki energy and offering this towards the end of the session as we return to the present moment.
