What we’re about
Finding your tribe for spiritual growth and connection is the purpose of this group. Are you interested in things like Reiki, the energy body/aura, energy protection for empaths, grounding techniques, meditation, manifesting techniques, conscious connected breathwork, sound healing, crystals, tarot, lucid dreaming, mental mediumship and psychic development? Do you enjoy talking to like-minded people about these sorts of things? Would you like to get to know people on all kinds of spiritual paths? Wouldn't it be wonderful to chat in a safe and friendly environment without judgement? Would you like to exchange healing treatments if you are qualified or learn Reiki? There's room for everybody in this friendship group; let's celebrate your uniqueness! Courage takes you forwards and that's where we are going. So take a leap of faith and join our Cambridge social group for the spiritually curious! We will try new things online, offered by me and by our members. Let's see what we can come up with to co-create a playfully curious group of spiritual souls who can gleefully play the game of this human life, offering love and compassion for the self and for the friends we meet along the way, as we unfold our gifts with the support and company of friends who care deeply and want the best for each other.
If you are interested in spiritual self development through reiki training with the emphasis on support and friendship, do look out for courses and Reiki shares in this group. We have Reiki enthusiasts of all levels and training who enjoy sharing healing and learning from each other once a month in a small, informal group organised by Christine, Usui Reiki Master and founder of Untie The String Natural Healing. Christine also offers bespoke training for groups of 2-4 students in Level One: Healer, Level Two: Practitioner and Level Three: Master. The emphasis is on original Japanese methods, with western training also included. There is also a focus on grounding and protection. Ongoing mentoring and fellowship is offered through the Reiki Shares and other Reiki workshops and retreats. More details at www.untiethestring.com

See all- Reiki Share - HarltonHarlton village hall, Cambridge
Give the gift of Reiki to your friends! You will be sharing some lovely Reiki treatments with each other at this relaxing Reiki share
- What will we do at the share? We usually have half an hour of circle time with a cup of tea while we catch up with friends, ask questions and set intentions. Then a short meditation before we move to the treatment tables to exchange reiki. We usually exchange reiki in groups of 3, giving two treatments of 20-25 minutes and receiving one treatment. We have 5 minutes in between treatments for feedback. At the end there is another circle time to ask questions and say goodbye. The focus is on giving support to others, both healing and support on our Reiki journeys. We are all at different stages and you are welcome to join in from the moment you have received your Level 1 training. We have a good mix of Level 1 members and members who are at Level 2 and a couple of Reiki Masters are also in the group.

- Breathe the Tarot - The SunDry Drayton Village Hall, Cambridge£18.00
What is Breathe the Tarot?
I invite you to explore the universal themes from the tarot through a breathwork healing journey where you will experience the amazing effects of conscious connected breathwork on emotional mood, physical wellness, mental clarity and spiritual connection. My music and guidance for this journey will be inspired by Card 19 of the major Arcana - The Sun. This breathe is about the optimism and positivity. A main theme of The Sun is allowing fun into our lives. The Sun is also the card of success and abundance. With the energy of the Sun, you can radiate happiness and joy, knowing that good times are here or on their way! It's time to connect with your inner self and be fully present as the true you, sharing your gifts with the world.I am a certified breathwork facilitator and I will guide you throughout the session. No experience is necessary, just come along with an open mind and the willingness to breathe in community with like minded souls. There will be a wonderful, evocative music to help you access your inner wisdom through this special yet simple form of breathwork. We have time before and after to talk and share our experiences as we combine forces to co create a wonderful and safe space for personal development and transformation. The event has four main parts to it as follows:
Part One: Exploring the theme
We begin with a guided introduction to the main themes inspired by this tarot card. We will talk or do activities in either in small groups or open circle to discover where you want to go with this theme.
Part Two: Getting ready to breathe
You can listen to my explanation of the method and benefits of the conscious connected breath before you create a breathing nest with your cushions, blankets and mats (please bring these with you) so that you are comfortable when you go deep into our healing journey, using the conscious connected breathing method.
Part Three: Your Breathwork Healing Journey
We are then ready to go deep into a conscious connected breathwork healing journey. I will guide you in both the style of breath (including adaptations) and the themes to breathe into, as I play my evocative music playlist curated around the messages of the card. Personal healing on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level is welcomed into your individual experience. both the breath and the theme as I play you a specially compiled playlist of evocative music curated around the themes of the tarot card. Personal growth and healing is welcomed into your very individual experience, whether you follow these themes or spontaneously go on a different journey as you breathe.
Part four: Closing Circle
