'Be Held' workshops focus on providing a safe space for you to feel nurtured, supported by a sense community and learn practical tools to help you cultivate a kinder, more connected, courageous and joyful life. We encourage a relaxed, informal and welcoming atmosphere for all, where everything is offered as an invitation. We like to include time for tea.

22nd September, 2pm-5pm  'Be Held for compassionate stress reduction' will be presented in collaboration with Selda at her beautiful studio - Selda Soul Space in South East London, UK.

During the first half of our workshop Carly will be guiding you through some simple and gentle practices. Selda and Carly will then offer the space for a little sharing and tea. Selda will complete the afternoon with a compassion focussed guided relaxation and blissful sound healing with the beautiful crystal bowls and closing.
