It was my first time hosting workshops at Midsummer this year and it’s safe to say I will be back next year!

Such a cup-filling, gorgeous festival created by the oh so lovely Charlie Butler. Celebrating the height of summer with workshops, holistic treatments, live music, delicious food options, summertime games and activities and a ceremonial Midsummer bonfire all set in the beautiful backdrop of Sparrows Campsite.

An intimate gathering of good-hearted souls filling the fields with the most beautiful energy; such warmth and vibrancy from everyone attending…I have no doubt it will sell out again next year.

I absolutely LOVED hosting laughter and reiki in the Geodome; a magnificent structure with the most incredible acoustics and energy. It’s worth going just to experience this! All the fabulous souls that joined my sessions helped co-create a very special experience that rippled out through the festival.

Laughter really is the most incredible medicine.

If it’s giving you the feels join us next year. And if you love camping or glamping go pay Sparrows a visit…it’s a firm favourite I’m adding to my list!

Such a deliciously fun time at Wellnergy festival - it was a lot of fun last year but this year it was a whole new level of gorgeousness!

Happening in Wimbledon Park, London, Wellnergy festival offers 5 key areas to explore: Mindfulness, Fitness, Nutrition, Music & Health Optimisation. With a wealth of wellness sessions on offer ranging from breath work, to talks, to yoga, to kirtan, to dancing and everything in between it really does offer a delightful smorgasbord for you to pick and choose from.

This year the festival took place over 2 days as Team Day was introduced - an opportunity to help businesses build happier, more engaged teams. Such a brilliant idea with mental health in the workplace being an important conversation right now.

I had the absolute pleasure of hosting laughter yoga sessions on both days. As always I’m super grateful to all the incredible souls that came along to experience how to use laughter as a resource instead of just a reaction.

Annnnnnnd it was such a joy to chat to the fabulous beings who shared their experiences of my sessions and Wellnergy in this episode.

If you haven’t been before and you love the idea of a day honouring your wellness I definitely recommend checking it out.
