If you’re in need of some deep relaxation and a mindful reset this summer, there’s a beautiful upcoming workshop that might be just what you’re looking for. Hosted by Helen from Ener-G Yoga, this Yin Yoga and Crystal Bowl Sound Bath Workshop promises a calm and restorative morning designed to help you slow down and reconnect.

Set in the peaceful Walford Village Hall, the event will begin with 75 minutes of gentle Yin Yoga, including a relaxing shavasana massage to ease the body and quiet the mind. After a short break and some intention setting, participants will enjoy a 10-minute guided meditation with singing bowls, followed by a 50-minute immersive crystal bowl sound bath – perfect for those seeking to soothe their nervous system and explore deep meditation.

The morning ends with a thoughtful touch: vegan cake and warming Yogi Tea, and the option to chat about your experience – or simply sit in silence and soak up the stillness.

This workshop is ideal for anyone wanting to embrace the energy of summer, calm their inner world, and explore the healing benefits of sound and stillness.

Booking is now open at www.energyogawithhelen.com, and you can learn more about the sound healing element here.

You may have heard of Regenerative Agriculture, but have you ever wondered what Regenerative Living means? It’s more than just a concept—it’s a way of life that fosters renewal, resilience, and sustainability, benefiting both the planet and ourselves.

We are excited to welcome Andrew De La Haye, Chair of the Herefordshire Wildlife Trust Ross branch and a Trustee of the UK Permaculture Association, to share his passion and insights on this transformative approach to life. Regenerative Living encourages us to work in harmony with nature, creating systems that restore and replenish rather than deplete. By adopting these principles, we can all contribute to a healthier environment and a more sustainable future.

If you enjoyed Andrew’s Lazy Gardening talk last year, this event is not to be missed! You’ll leave inspired and empowered to incorporate regenerative practices into your own daily life.

🌱 Seed & Plant Swap: Bring along your spare seeds and plants to exchange with like-minded individuals.
☕ Refreshments: Available for a donation, with all proceeds supporting the Howle Hill Memorial Garden.

📅 No need to book! Tickets are £5 on the door.

We look forward to seeing you there!
