Tuesday 13th October - Breathwork with Reconnect Within

This session will let you explore and feel the benefit of breathwork.

Conscious connected breathwork (CCB) is a simple yet powerful breathing practice in which the inhale and exhale are gently connected, creating a continuous, circular rhythm.
Rather than trying to control an outcome or “breathe better”, the practice offers an opportunity to turn your attention inward and become more aware of what is happening within you — physically, emotionally and mentally.
With the support of a safe and carefully held environment, the breath can become a way of stepping away from constant thinking and reconnecting with your body and your present-moment experience.

Breathe. Feel. Explore.
And perhaps, in the process, discover a little more about the person within.

For more information on the sessions, or to book your space, please contact Keith on 07976 022588

“You’re pregnant?! Congrats — now let’s talk about what no one else will.”

Before you get swept into a sea of scans, midwife appointments and ‘just go with the flow’ advice — stop a minute and come spend a couple of hours with Sam from The Moon and Lotus Birth Prep and Gail (Sea Pebbles Doula). They’re planning to share the real talk every pregnant person needs early doors, plus add in some tea and cakes 🎂

💥 Perfect for newly pregnant folk who want to feel clear, clued up and in control
They’ll cover:
What you're actually entitled to in pregnancy, birth & postpartum (and what’s optional 👀)
How to get the birth you want without begging/fighting for it
What NHS doesn’t tell you — and how to advocate for yourself throughout the process

🔥 Limited spaces to keep it intimate and impactful.
If you’re ready to start your pregnancy journey with power, this is your gateway in.
Come along and unlock the next level 🔑

It is with regret that we announce that the annual Fireworks event will not be taking place at the Chantry this year.

Unfortunately, after consulting with both firework and health & safety experts, we have come to the conclusion that the size of fireworks needed to continue providing a quality high-level display visible from the Walled Garden is no longer viable.

We have truly loved greeting you all for the last 60 years and thank you for coming out to support the charity.

We’re currently looking at new ways that we can welcome you outside of the weekly classes, groups and bookings that form our day-to-day calendar, so watch this space…
