2026 Year of the Fire Horse - Hosted by Dr. Hannah Watson
Curious about 2026? Step into the rhythm of the year ahead and discover what the powerful Fire Horse is awakening in your life.
This beautiful two-hour experience begins with Chinese astrology insights guided by Dr. Hannah Watson (Traditional Chinese Medicine), exploring the themes, health influences and energetic flow of the year. You’ll uncover how the Fire Horse interacts with your own sign, what it’s asking you to focus on, and how to move with the energy rather than against it.
From there, the journey softens into a deeply nourishing Yin Yoga session, designed to gently stimulate the meridians and support the very energy explored in the astrology. The body becomes the doorway. Stillness becomes the medicine. And understanding turns into something you can actually feel.
The Benefits go far beyond information. Expect clarity, grounding, emotional balance and a deeper sense of alignment with the year ahead. This is about starting the year feeling resourced, centred and energetically supported.
Perfect if life has felt fast, heavy or confusing lately… and you’re craving guidance, calm and a meaningful reset.
Places are limited.
9DMT Breathwork with Max Rooke
Overview
Experience 9D Breathwork with Max at the peaceful Destination Happiness Studio.
The 9DMT Trip is one of my favourite journeys and is not just breathwork. Come and join me on Saturday the 21st of March for this 67 minute experience which merges an ancient shamanic ritual with cutting-edge 9D sound design, inviting you to confront ego, reconnect with your inner child, release trauma and emerge reborn.
For those who have experienced a Wim Hof Method breathing session with Max, this is a totally new experience. 9D Breathwork combines deep conscious breathing, binaural beats, specific sound frequencies and guided hypnotic suggestions that creates a multi-dimensional sound experience.
Spaces are limited to 12 participants only.
**This practice is not recommended for anyone who is pregnant, epileptic, dealing with pyschosis or serious heart conditions. Please consult with a healthcare professional before participating if you have any of these conditions.
9D Breathwork Down Regulation & Regeneration with Max Rooke
9D Breathwork Down Regulation & Regeneration with Max Rooke
By Max Rooke
Mar 20 from 4pm to 5:30pm GMT+11
Overview
Experience 9D Breathwork with Max at Destination Happiness Studio
This 9D Breathwork down regulation and regeneration experience is one of my favourite relaxation journeys - it is designed to gently guide your nervous system out of stress and survival mode and into deep rest, repair, and renewal through immersive 9D sound, guided breathwork, and somatic awareness.
Rather than pushing or forcing release, this journey invites a soft unwinding. It creates space for the body to reset, the mind to quieten, and the emotional system to rebalance. Many people experience a sense of grounding, spaciousness, emotional release, and deep inner calm — often described as feeling “lighter,” “clearer,” and “more at home” in themselves.
This is ideal for anyone feeling:
Overstimulated, burnt out, or emotionally fatigued
Anxious, wired, or stuck in constant thinking
Disconnected from their body or struggling to fully rest
In need of nervous system support
No prior breathwork experience is required.
This is not about performance — it’s about permission to slow down, soften, and reset.

Supercharge Your Intuition Workshop
Event description
🔥 Supercharge Your Intuition 🔥
with Psychic Medium Shannon Patching – Your Wellbeing Warrior
2026 is here - a year of new beginnings, promises to yourself, and stepping into experiences you’ve never tried before. This is your invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and your inner guidance, and meet like-minded people who are also stepping into growth and self trust.
You already have intuition. That quiet inner knowing, the nudge before your mind catches up, the sense that something is right - or not -even when you can’t explain why. This workshop isn’t about becoming intuitive. It’s about learning how your intuition already works, how to recognise it, and how to trust it in a practical, grounded way.
In this 3 hour immersive experience, you’ll be guided back into your body - because intuition doesn’t live in the mind alone. When the nervous system is stressed or stuck in survival, access to inner guidance becomes clouded. When the body feels safe and supported, intuition becomes clearer, steadier and far easier to trust.
Shannon Patching (@YourWellbeingWarrior) is a respected Soul Medium who brings a grounded, compassionate and practical approach to intuitive development. Her work is informed by lived experience, ancestral wisdom and somatic awareness - supporting people to reclaim their inner authority without outsourcing their power.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll explore gentle embodied practices, reflective exercises and guided exploration to notice how intuition communicates with you - through sensations, emotions, images or sudden clarity. You’ll also learn how to distinguish true intuitive guidance from fear, overthinking or old conditioning.
This is a safe, uplifting and connected space. You’ll meet like minded people, share energy and experience the power of collective growth and healing - deepening your sense of belonging as you step into 2026 feeling grounded, confident and aligned.
We’ll close with a gentle sound healing, supporting integration and leaving you feeling lighter, centred and inspired. You’ll also receive a take home workbook to continue your journey beyond the workshop.
You’ll walk away feeling:
• more connected to your body and inner guidance
• calmer and more regulated in your nervous system
• clearer and more confident in decision making
• supported through meaningful connection
• ready to step into 2026 with clarity, purpose and self trust
No prior experience is needed - just curiosity, openness and a willingness to reconnect with yourself and form new connections with others.

Evening of Kirtan
Join us for a 2-hour Kirtan celebration — an uplifting Saturday night of chanting, connection, and heart-opening joy. With multiple performers sharing soulful mantras and live music, we’ll come together in community to sing, sway, smile, and simply be.
What to expect:
Most of the seating is on the floor with comfy cushions and blankets provided, though couches and chairs are available if preferred. Chai is complimentary, and we’ll have mantra sheets available so you can easily join in — or simply listen and absorb the experience. This is a welcoming and relaxed space for community connection, music, and shared presence.
No experience is needed — every voice and every person is welcome. Whether you feel like chanting loudly, humming softly, or soaking up the vibrations, there’s no pressure to be any other way than who you are.
Come bask in the joy of the practice — a fun and soulful way to spend your Saturday night, returning to the heart and leaving uplifted.
Breakthrough Breathwork
Breakthrough Breathwork is a fully guided, immersive breathwork experience using deliberate breathing patterns to help participants enter altered states of awareness. By working intentionally with the breath, this session supports the release of stored stress and emotional blocks, while opening space for insight, perspective, and meaningful internal shifts.
Unlike other breakthrough breathwork events, this session is guided from start to finish. Clear instruction, pacing, and ongoing support create a safe and contained environment, allowing you to explore deeper states of consciousness without needing to navigate the experience alone. Participant numbers are intentionally kept low to ensure a safe, supportive container and individual attention throughout the session.
As the breath patterns unfold, participants may experience emotional release, physical sensations, memories, imagery, or periods of deep stillness. Every experience is individual, and there is no right or wrong way for it to unfold.
A key part of this work is meeting resistance. Sensations of tension, hesitation, or discomfort often point to places where old patterns are ready to soften or release. Through guided breath and awareness, you are invited to stay present with these edges, allowing insight and integration to emerge naturally.
The session concludes with grounding, integration, and time to debrief. Participants are invited to reflect, share if they wish, and begin weaving the experience into daily life. Food and refreshments will be provided afterward, offering a gentle, nourishing close to the journey.
No prior breathwork experience is required. Please wear comfortable clothing and arrive with an open, curious mindset.
Reiki 1 Certification
TRADITIONAL JAPANESE USUI REIKI
January 10th & 11th
Run over two days, this training introduces you to the foundational teachings passed down from Mikao Usui.
Far beyond a modality, Reiki is a complete system that invites you into deeper presence, energetic integrity, and a more conscious way of living.
At its core, this system offers:
• The Five Reiki Precepts – contemplative principles for self-reflection and daily life
• Reiki meditations – practices that deepen inner awareness and energetic sensitivity
• Hands-on energetic connection – a way of offering balance and support
• Symbol and mantra work – tools that ground and harmonise the system
• Attunements – energetic blessings to align and awaken your inner system
• Hara work – anchoring awareness into your body’s energy centre
This practice supports a return to clarity, groundedness, and inner steadiness.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll receive tools and structure to:
• Strengthen your energetic boundaries
• Cultivate refined self-awareness
• Explore what true grounding feels like
• Activate your intuitive sense of knowing
• Respond to life’s demands from a centred place
• Connect with a more aligned and harmonious state of being
Reiki is a lifelong system that unfolds with practice and sincerity.
Reiki One lays the essential foundation—introducing you to the energetic elixir fields of the body and the principles that underpin the full system.
Only after completing Reiki One can you continue into the mystery teachings of Reiki Two.
Once Reiki One and Two have been completed, you are certified to offer Reiki in a professional context.
This system has changed my life in profound ways. It reminded me—through felt experience—that there is far more to this existence than what we see, think, or even feel. It reconnected me to something timeless and essential, and I’m honoured to share that path with others.

The wish to remember myself - A workshop in the tradition of Gurdjieff and the fourth way
The idea of Self-Remembering is central to a powerful spiritual path in both theory and application, beginning and end. This introductory workshop is open to anyone interested in inner growth. We will learn about and practice a method of inner development designed for us - everyday people - to be worked with in the conditions of daily life.
To pursue an aim we need to learn to make efforts that come from our whole being. Then we might understand why Gurdjieff said "life is real, only then, when I Am".
This workshop will include a talk, discussion and guided exercises. It will be given by Dylan Frusher, a member of the Gurdjieff Society of Newport.
