Creating Connection: Meditation & Breathwork
2025-11-02 10:00 - 15:00 (Europe/London) | Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
Creating Connection: Meditation & Breathwork

There is a lot of misconception surrounding meditation: people either believe that it requires a very rigid practice, crossed legs, making humming sounds, or they believe it doesn’t work for them simply because the noise doesn’t quieten in their head at the first go. The discipline of meditation is all about stepping into yourself to calm the thoughts. When you hear that chatter, that is when the discipline is needed. Meditation can be used to understand your thoughts and to understand where that chatter is really coming from. What is creating it in the first place?

Meditation creates the space for change, discovery, and to get a better understanding of yourself. This is all about checking in with yourself; taking the time to notice what and how you are feeling will help you to improve your wellbeing. People often think it doesn’t work for them, especially because it requires quieting the mind and finding stillness, but it is because they have too high an expectation of its impact, and they forget it requires discipline and the want for change. The want for change can be such a driving force; however, the want to stay the same and the negative chatter can be an obstacle that stops you in your tracks.

This workshop introduces you to meditation and breathwork, with simple tips and techniques for you to use both in your everyday life, and how it can help you personally to create space for change. Yvette’s own journey with meditation started off her career in this work, and enabled her to heal her tumour as it allowed her to finally address herself in a deep and meaningful way. You will be taught as to how breath and breathing can impact you in your daily life, as well as learn simple meditative practices that can create connection to you, your inner mind, and to your body.

Reiki: Level 1 – In Person Course

There are many ways in life to expand your knowledge of helping yourself and deepening the relationship with you. Reiki One is just one source of energy that may help to assist with this understanding and what you want out of life. Create the time, space, and discipline to help yourself.

We teach Reiki as a tool to help build the connection with YOU and develop the relationship you have with yourself. First and foremost, Reiki is a discipline to reconnect back to you rather than the obstacles standing in your way. It allows you to show up every day to do your best, using the energy to drive you towards change.

The practice of Reiki helps stimulate the flow of energy that exists within and all around you, which in turn encourages positive changes throughout and the body and the mind. The understanding of Reiki is historically attached to Japanese Buddhist understandings, as well as other schools of thought like Chinese Meridian Theory. This belief suggests that when the meridian lines through your body are blocked, they can create negative energy flowing through the body, unbalancing the body and its energy. It is this negative energy that can lead to fear, anxiety, and confusion, all of which stop your flow and creates illness and disharmony.

Reiki, as an energy force, enables you to really see, and know yourself – how we as humans work and function. Therefore, by understanding yourself, you will be able to understand other people and recognise the conscious and unconscious factors in people’s actions. Yvette often explains that we all have the power to heal ourselves. Each and every one of us has the power to heal ourselves from within; the problem seems to be how and the importance of keeping the discipline. Maybe it’s because there is an unconscious expectation that it will happen overnight. Those who have taken the Reiki training with us have explained that they found the framework and principles provided by Reiki to be the best tools to teach them the “how” and provide the discipline they needed.

Intuitive Eating: Being stress free around food at Christmastime - by Hattie Rees

Intuitive Eating: Being stress free around food at Christmastime

by Hattie Rees

Christmas can be a joyous season for many, but it can also be stressful when it comes to your relationship with food. Do you find yourself worrying about binge-eating or being around relatives who won’t stop talking about their latest diet and commenting on everyone’s weight? Or the feeling of knowing that by the end of Christmas the January guilt is going to set in? What if it didn’t have to be this way?

Intuitive Eating is a framework with ten principles, such as rejecting diet culture, learning to tune in with your hunger and fullness signals, and the importance of food satisfaction. It can be a useful tool in helping you to improve your relationship with food and feel confident within yourself. As an intuitive eater you can allow yourself to fully enjoy holiday periods such as Christmas without any stress when it comes to food.

Hattie is a Nutritionist, Intuitive Eating Counsellor and Advanced Reiki Practitioner who is passionate about helping her clients ditch the dieting once and for all, and feel happier within themselves in their relationship with food. Join Hattie for her two-hour workshop all about intuitive eating and navigating diet culture this party season. The workshop will involve the following topics:

Avoiding the ‘Christmas binge’

An introduction to intuitive eating and how it can be useful at Christmas

Feeling confident in your own skin throughout the party season

Taking care of yourself and how to cope being around other’s dieting comments at Christmas

Set Your Intentions for the Coming Year: Celebrating Your Wins

Set Your Intentions for the Coming Year: Celebrating Your Wins

When you are feeling lost, uncertain, or stuck in your old patterns, it will make you feel alone and it won’t allow you to celebrate your achievements, no matter how small or essential they are to you. Sometimes we need to learn and teach ourselves how to practice gratitude in our everyday lives. This requires reflection, but this can also be aided by intention.

Join us for a workshop that allows for group collaboration in setting your intentions for the coming year. Intention is a driving force or undercurrent that underpins our everyday lives, propelling us forward and giving us purpose or reason for our actions. Not many people focus on the influence of intention or gratitude on their personal journeys through life. This workshop will allow you to do so, teaching you new skills for mindfulness and awareness that will help you to look at the bigger picture in your life, but also to appreciate your own influence over your actions and choices.

Book Now

We will guide you through setting an intention for your goals and milestones, and how you will plan, execute your plan, and discover your strengths and weaknesses to make the path ahead a little clearer. Not only this, but we will also be celebrating your wins in this past year, even you believe you don’t have any! This is a group where you will all support one another, using collaboration and sharing wisdom to create a space of reflection and curiosity. Come and join us for this transformative workshop.

The Coven – Reconnecting with your Confidence & Power

By Rachel Petheram from Catkin Flowers

The gathering consists of 6 sessions a year, in collaboration with experts whose work is centred around supporting and empowering women.

The gathering of these sessions will focus on creating a supportive community; a space created for guidance, building confidence, and solidifying the connection you have with yourself.

It is a wonderful way to not only connect with nature, but also with ourselves. Read more about this beautiful gathering on her website:

Collaboration with Rachel from Catkin Flowers and Yvette Karan

As a Mentor, Coach, Hypnotherapist, and Reiki Master, Yvette Karan will be joining The Coven and collaborating with Rachel as one of the visiting experts for two of the sessions.

Empowering the Woman Within will be a session addressing what is stopping you from using your own power to make things happen and create abundance in your life. You will look at the past, present, and future, and how they have ruled you or set you free. Along with meditations and using nature to connect symbolically with our own internal worlds, empowerment will be the focus of this session.

Yvette has also been given the honour of conducting the Croning Ceremony in the final session as a celebration of your work over the year, of stepping into yourself and your power, and the connection you have made with like-minded people along the way.

Join Rachel and Yvette for this incredible journey starting next year.
