The practice of Shamanic Healing invites us to reunite with our sacred path, and remember the journey of our Soul. Through the practice we have the chance to expand our connection with the Earth and the Cosmo, and experience oneness with all of life
During the training we open our senses into the communication with our Soul, with Spirit and the invisible realms. We learn how to embrace our shadow and light and allow the true self to guide our way.
We also remember that we are not alone on this Earth journey and can access support from both the physical and spiritual world. Our guides, power animals, beings of light, and energies of nature are key allies into this beautiful path of discovery and rediscovery.

The recordings will offer a tool and reminder of the importance of your commitment and dedication to this work.

"All that glitters is not gold." – William Shakespeare
Are you aware human trafficking exists on your doorstep?Are you aware corruption dominates the anti-trafficking movement?
Do you know what YOU can do to make a real difference, from right where you are?
As many have been discovering the ugly realities of human trafficking, they feel overwhelmed and helpless. They wrongly assume someone else will take on the role of helping to end this global epidemic.
This is a tragic trap into complacency and unwittingly enabling the abuse.



"C﻿anary Singing" is a survivor of generational human trafficking. With her trailblazing spirit, she will use her lived-experience and studied expertise to empower the community in ending the global legacy of abuse.
You will walk away armed with knowledge of these criminal operations which hide in plain sight and with wisdom to do your part in eradicating trafficking. That which seems impossible to accomplish will be broken down into clear, attainable steps.
While Canary Singing's testimony will expose shocking depths of this criminal abuse, it will also equip you to fearlessly take your power back as an active changemaker, and chart out your next steps.
If you have a natural disposition for empathy, truth, morality and justice, this gathering will clear away the fog, light the way forward, and ignite your inner fire.

🙋🏻 We see and value you! This is an engaging training where you will be invited to ask questions and to group participation.
 You'll learn: 
• Debunking stereotypes: How trafficking can and does happen to all types of people, irrespective of nationality, socio-economic class, upbringing, education...anything
• The cyclical nature of trafficking that's designed to keep victims trapped and silent
• Details of these operations in your local community, nationwide and transnational: How trafficking is unquestioningly in your life and how to identify it.
• The tragic failings of the UK's anti-trafficking sector
• The societal issues which have led to and perpetuate the trafficking epidemic
• What you can do to help victims and survivors on a direct and collective level

• What you need to stop doing that unwittingly enables trafficking
And most importantly. . . 
• How to forge the unwavering strength, perseverance, clarity and inner peace that are necessary to identify and take up your personal purpose in abolishing human trafficking.

If a world without abuse and human trafficking is important to you, you have a role in creating it. It's time to find out what that is. And take action. Now. The victims can't wait for tomorrow. 
Join us for this eye-opening, explosive testimony alongside holistic training to effectively abolish human trafficking and modern slavery.

👥 Vital for professionals in any field of work, as well as concerned and motivated citizens.🕰️ The schedule is optimised for digesting new information: there will be a 20-minute break midway.🧑🏻‍💻 For safety and security, not to mention connecting as humans: Attendees' cameras must be kept On during the workshop. We are delighted to see your face. Thank you!🗓️ Last chance to book is 2pm on the 10th of January.🎁 Early booking special: Save £5 when you book by 30th December.

Some of which has been published in the news.🌟 Don't be shy about tackling human trafficking! Download & share online the flyer below or print the linked PDF and post it up locally.

SOUL WRITING FOR CREATIVITY
Have you ever wanted to explore your creative side more or dive deeper into your imagination? Perhaps you wanted to write a song or poem for someone and didn't know where to start? Maybe you have dreams of starting an online blog or writing a book and want to begin exploring your imagination using words, imagery and senses.
Soul Writing for Creativity uses different kinds of writing exercises to discover and release our creative voice. We all have access to it but perhaps we were never taught how. We play with different tools, prompts and techniques. This is not a conventional writing class on craft or style. This is about enjoying yourself and firing up your amazing imagination.
Soul Writing is for everyone, for seasoned writers and beginners alike. It does not require us to be experts in spelling and grammar. It does not require us to be poets. It helps us to find an inner flow of thoughts and words that we previously thought we may have lacked.
Soul Writing points to the natural creative being that lives within all of us. It is a sharing process, conducted within a group workshop format. Many people have found the Soul Writing process to be unique, refreshing and easy to access. We are learning to ‘unthink’, ‘unplan’ and ‘undo’ the barriers that stand in the way of our writing voice, creative soul and unlimited spirit.

The 3 bears will be a fun introduction to the principles of crocheting continuously in the round. We'll look at magic rings, even increasing and the single crochet stitch (US terms). We'll also have a little go at other ways to crochet in the round, try some join-as-you-go and creating fancy edging using the single crochet stitch in reverse (crab stitch). 
Depending on your ability you can join me for Week 1 then finish off in your own time, or you can come back for seconds and we can finish off together the following week.
Week 1 | The ears and the start of the bear basket
Week 2 | The muzzle and finishing off
You'll need to have access to ZOOM and the materials listed below to crochet-along. This is a great make for absolute beginners, adventurous beginners looking to push their crochet to the next level, but also fab for refreshing forgotten skills or if you just fancy having a go. Classes are kept small so it's not too overwhelming and everyone gets plenty attention and the opportunity to ask questions.

I used King Cole Big Value Super Chunky with a 5.0mm crochet hook (10.0mm recommended) for daddy bear. Mummy bear&rsquo;s crocheted with Drops Andes and a 4.0mm hook (9.0mm recommended) and baby bear uses Drops Cotton Light doubled up with a 3.0mm hook (4.0mm recommended). If you're an absolute beginner I'd recommend going for a chunky or super-chunky yarn to start off with.

Beginners & Beyond Crochet-Along | and the Three Bears Baskets (1 or 2 Weeks)

Join me for help to get started and finish off on your own

and the 3 Bears Week 1 

Hand making for any occasion is always special and with Easter just around the corner we&rsquo;re getting a little head start on the Easter Bunny with these fun and colourful Birdy Easter Egg Cosies. They&rsquo;re designed to fit a mini chocolate egg, like a Creme Egg, but after Easter could be used as a real egg cosy. 
There are 3 birdy options depending on your crochet ability:
<ul data-key="48">
<li data-key="49">A simple chick made all in 1 colour, apart from his beak!</li>
<li data-key="51">A bit trickier duck which introduces a tiny bit of colour changing and shaping.</li>
<li data-key="53">Or a wee bit fiddlier hen which includes a fancy crest, colour changing, shaping and some extra tail feather details.</li>
</ul>
All 3 birds will give you an introduction to magic rings, crochet in the round, single, half and double crochet, increasing and decreasing (US terms). You&rsquo;ll also learn the art of crocheted puffs and how to use the 3 stitches to make add-on wings. 
This workshop takes place via Zoom and you will need to have access to the materials listed below to crochet-along. Great for absolute beginners just getting started, adventurous beginners looking to develop their crochet quickly, but also fab for refreshing forgotten skills or if you just fancy having a go. Classes are kept small so it's not too overwhelming and everyone gets plenty attention and the opportunity to ask questions.

is a stash buster make which is ideal for using up yarns you happen to have. Minimum 2 colours, and up to 4, and you won't need too much of any them. Double knits are ideal but we should be able to work with whatever yarns you happen to have.

Hand making for any occasion is always special and with Easter just around the corner we’re getting a little head start on the Easter Bunny with these fun and colourful Birdy Easter Egg Cosies. They’re designed to fit a mini chocolate egg, like a Creme Egg, but after Easter could be used as a real egg cosy. 
There are 3 birdy options depending on your crochet ability:
A simple chick made all in 1 colour, apart from his beak!
A bit trickier duck which introduces a tiny bit of colour changing and shaping.
Or a wee bit fiddlier hen which includes a fancy crest, colour changing, shaping and some extra tail feather details.
All 3 birds will give you an introduction to magic rings, crochet in the round, single, half and double crochet, increasing and decreasing (US terms). You’ll also learn the art of crocheted puffs and how to use the 3 stitches to make add-on wings. 
This workshop takes place via Zoom and you will need to have access to the materials listed below to crochet-along. Great for absolute beginners just getting started, adventurous beginners looking to develop their crochet quickly, but also fab for refreshing forgotten skills or if you just fancy having a go. Classes are kept small so it's not too overwhelming and everyone gets plenty attention and the opportunity to ask questions.
What you'll need to craft along . . .
a 3.5mm crochet hook
double-knit yarn*
2 x 3mm black beads
a stitch marker (optional)
a big eye needle
a fine eye needle
black thread
scissors
at least 2 mini chocolate eggs, like a Creme Egg (1 for filling the cosy and 1 for eating after you make it!!)

She is currently looking for literary fiction, edgy commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high-concept contemporary young adult, as well as narrative non-fiction of all types. Her taste is quite dark, and she loves gothic, ghost stories, horror and anything sinister. She also loves books that make her cry, from big love stories to intense family dramas. She is open to historical or horror YA, but not magical or fantasy.&nbsp;<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Meditative or moving novels about modern life, appeal to Laura, sad stories with love and the importance of caring for each other shining through.

LOOKING FOR: YA, ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Laura Williams is literary agent at the Greene and Heaton Literary Agency. She is seeking literary fiction, commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high concept Young Adult.

Laura is actively building a fiction list and a small non-fiction list. She is currently looking for literary fiction, edgy commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high-concept contemporary young adult, as well as narrative non-fiction of all types. Her taste is quite dark, and she loves gothic, ghost stories, horror and anything sinister. She also loves books that make her cry, from big love stories to intense family dramas. She is open to historical or horror YA, but not magical or fantasy. 

Meditative or moving novels about modern life, appeal to Laura, sad stories with love and the importance of caring for each other shining through. She also loves stories about female friendships or conversely groups of women who don't get on, such as the hugely fun BAD SUMMER PEOPLE by Emma Rosenblum. She is always on the lookout for a big tragic love story to make her cry happy or sad tears. At the more commercial end of fiction, think funny novels with warmth and romantic comedies with a bit of depth – think Marian Keyes.

Most of all Laura is looking for novels she hasn’t read before – something unusual structurally or thematically, something that shines a light on a subject the author is passionate about, something that’ll break her heart or raise her blood in an entirely new way. Laura is always looking to promote diverse voices from across the globe, and is particularly keen on LGBTQI+ stories.

Laura would like you to submit a covering letter, a 1-2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Laura is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.

ONE SPACE LEFT! 31st July Helen Lane #Agent121. Looking for: YA, NA, ADULT FICTION

This isn’t a course. It’s a consecration. 
A sacred spiral for women in midlife who feel the shift — and are ready to rise.

There comes a moment when the roles you've played no longer fit.  
When the masks feel heavy. When the rhythm you’ve lived by begins to falter.

Not because you’ve failed. But because you’re becoming, something powerful, sovereign, and beautifully indefinable.

You’re not losing yourself. You’re rediscovering the fire that never truly went out.

 🔮 What is Hearth of Hera?

Hearth of Hera is a 7-week live, online spiral for women in midlife who know they’re no longer who they were — but aren’t yet sure who they’re becoming.

It’s not about self-improvement.  
It’s not a coaching programme or a checklist.  
It’s a return — to voice, sovereignty, magic, and self-remembrance.

If you’ve felt the call, your place is already waiting.

🌿 This journey is for you if:

*   You’re in midlife or standing at a powerful threshold moment
    
*   You’ve outgrown old identities, rules, or rhythms that no longer serve
    
*   You want sacred space that honours your depth, sensitivity, and magic
    
*   You’re ready to reclaim your voice — spiritually, creatively, unapologetically
    
*   You crave gentle ritual, beautiful structure, and a pace that honours your energy
    
*   You long for sisterhood without pressure or performance
    
*   You’re tired of trying to be “enough” and just want to be true

No application. No performance.  
Just resonance — and your readiness to return to yourself.

🔥 What You Receive

*   🕯 7 live weekly Zoom circles (Mondays at 6pm BST – replays available)
    
*   🌀 A growing 7-card tarot spread — one new card drawn and explored each week
    
*   📝 Creative prompts and voicework exercises
    
*   🔥 Weekly rituals to support your unfolding (simple and flexible — no pressure)
    
*   🌙 Optional journal and embodiment practices you can explore at your own pace
    
*   📱 A private Telegram group for connection, sharing, and gentle sisterhood
    
Whether you attend live or follow the replays, you’ll be fully held.

✨ The Spiral Path: Your 7-Week Journey

Each week brings a new threshold — a deepening into voice, truth, and sovereignty:

1.  Root the Flame — anchor into belonging and inner ground
    
2.  Ignite the Flow — awaken creative, emotional, and energetic movement
    
3.  Sing the Soul — speak your truth and reclaim the myth you live
    
4.  Name the Boundaries — honour your yes, your no, your sacred edge
    
5.  Clarify the Vision — attune to desire, direction, and knowing
    
6.  Burn the Falsehoods — release what no longer fits or serves
    
7.  Rise to Be Seen — stand whole, witnessed, and unshaken
    
This is not a linear curriculum.  
It is a spiral of becoming — rooted in rhythm, ritual, and resonance.

We begin 7/7.
Come.  
Sit by the hearth.  
Your fire is waiting.

If you are already working as an electrician, you will not need an AM2 certificate. If you are training to be an electrician and are registering for your NVQ level three in Electrical Installation or Maintenance, the electrotechnical diploma now includes the AM2. The AM2 certification is an industry recognised and something that many employers will actively seek when hiring new staff. It can also be attractive to potential customers.

Why join Kemp Center’s singing course?Music gives meaning to life’s events. We cannot imagine a wedding, a birthday party, a get-to-gather, a commercial, or any other event without warm beats of music. It’s an integral part of everybody’s life and people love to sing, whether they are alone or surrounded by a crowd.Besides liveliness and joy, music reduces stress, enhances memory, improves cognition, opens up minds, and brings people together. It furthermore gives you more opportunities for self-expression and helps in reducing mental and physical pain. Physicians and psychologists often suggest music for curing certain diseases and improving life’s quality.You’re seeing people with headphones around their necks everywhere. This only goes to show how important music is for everyone.Along with listening, signing is equally beneficial and fulfilling. It allows you to express yourself, boosts your confidence, lets you feel good, improves your lungs, and enriches you with a sense of accomplishment.Signing can connect you with lots of new people as well as bring more subscribers to your social media accounts. It can boost your business and career by making your presence more engaging. You definitely need to learn how to sing, if not for commercial purposes, then for your mental wellbeing.There are so many platforms and courses where you can learn to sing.
