Health & Wellbeing

The Shakti Tantra family are running a number of workshops at Connect and will be holding the Connect Yurt space this summer. This well established tantra school was founded by Hilly Spenceley, a powerful and dynamic sexual/spiritual teacher. Hilly is a catalyst and initiator. As mother of 6 and grandmother of 11, she is the ultimate wise women and dark angel, working at all times with the shadow. Her approach is very grounded and practical, coming from her deep understanding of family and intimate relationships. She is known for her wisdom, joy, love and total acceptance within her workshops and is very skilled and experienced in running groups of which she has over 30 years practice.

As you head past the workshop yurt and the crafts spaces you walk up the hill to a quieter meadow. Here is the Wellbeing Bliss Base offering great views across the valley and selection of massage, and wellness therapies.

Bliss out, recharge and chill out at Connect’s Bliss Base.

Relax in the warmth and healing sounds of flute, drum, guitar and song fireside by candlelight from the Spirit Sisters.

A mother, and now an elder and am passionate about our connection to our earth and ourselves. I love to support people thrive and fully embody their lives, living from the place of heart, love, compassion and connection. I have worked as a nurse, an academic, a hospice educator, a death doula and celebrant. I love holding ceremony and facilitating circles. I have recently been part of a group setting up an intentional home education community and am finally at the age of 70 learning to play again.

Surya’s path as a life counselor and healer is a beacon of inspiration. From his early years, he delved deeply into yoga and meditation, sharpening his natural insight. His practice is enriched with Yogic Massage and Ayurvedic counseling, aiding people in finding equilibrium in body, mind, and spirit. Surya’s healing touch transcends the physical, fostering personal growth and serenity.

A self-taught musician, Sol (formerly known as Pete York) learnt to play guitar and bass in his teens. He quickly found a passion for music and moved from London to Brighton looking for musical direction. Sol has always intuitively followed his heart and the journey that unfolded before him was everything he could of imagined and more!

A Space 2 Breathe brings together everything Sol has learnt along the way, the healing power of sound, discovered through his love of music, his ability to connect with others, to teach and inspire. Guiding others to connect with their hearts, find the joy and abundance of living an authentic, heart-felt life, filled with passion, possibility and potential.

Join Vaughan for a workshop combining movement, sound and breath as tools to bring us to a place of deeper self awareness and self compassion.

Our goal is to bring you into a deep sense of embodiment and connection to self, leading to a healthier mind, body and soul.

Feel alive in your body and connect with nourishing energy through lush movement, mindful breathing and meditation.
