✨ The Holistic Hangout ✨

Founded in August 2016 in Halifax as a support and networking space for kindred souls, The Holistic Hangout was created to bring people together around holistic and spiritual wellbeing - to connect, share, learn, and step more fully into their own power and purpose.

During the Covid years, this gathering space naturally expanded online and globally, allowing conversations, teachings, and collaborations to grow far beyond its original roots.

Now, a new chapter is unfolding as The Holistic Hangout begins to put down roots in Stranraer, while continuing to welcome people from all over the world - whether visiting in person or connecting online.

Whether you’re a practitioner, a seeker, or simply curious, you’re warmly welcome here.
This is a space for open-hearted conversation, collaboration, and conscious growth. 💫

*Shamanic Drum Birthing Workshop with Robert Leons – Stranraer, Thursday 17th April*

I will be holding a Shamanic Drum Birthing Workshop with the amazing Robert Leons in Stranraer on Thursday, 17th April. Spaces are very limited, so if you’re interested, please drop me a message!

For anyone wishing to attend that has to travel a distance & requires accommodation, I can help you source some fantastic local B&B’s or hotels. 💗

*Words from Robert Leons*
My path in life is deeply rooted in shamanism, and combined with my skills as a craftsman, I offer this experience from an integrated and heartfelt place. Drums have been a powerful portal for me, bringing profound healing, clear guidance, and deepening my connection with my voice as I sing.

Coming together in this intimate group, I’ll guide you through the process of creating your own shamanic drum.

Weaving shamanic practice into every creation—whether drums, rattles, or flutes—is part of my journey, and I’m overjoyed to share this with small groups across the UK.

What to Expect:
• A full morning of crafting your drum
• An active lunch, where we find our drum be**er (stick) in nature (or bring one that has spoken to you beforehand, depending on the location)
• An afternoon of finishing your creation together
• To close the day, I may share some flute music and a miniature sound journey featuring the drum

Let’s create something truly special together.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is an energy healing practice which originated in Japan. Rei - meaning Universal Wisdom (some sources will refer to Rei as Mysterious or Divine) and Ki - meaning Life Force Energy.

A practitioner will act as a conduit and channel the higher, universal energy into their client for healing and balance. It can help to relieve pain and reduce stress/tension. The Reiki energy will support the client in releasing “stuff” they no longer need to carry, be it emotionally, spiritually or physically.
Quite simply, Reiki can help towards a better life balance, support overall health and well being, assist at times of transformation as well as being a beautiful and gentle healing and recovery treatment.

Reiki is not limited to humans or even animals and distance Reiki can be just as effective as experiencing in person.

There is obviously so much more than I will impart with you all on here.

For further interest please drop me a line for treatments or training.

We have only 2 spaces left on our upcoming Reiki training.

*DATES*
Reiki 1 - 17th March 6pm- 9pm & 18th March 10am - 5pm
Reiki 2 - 21st April 6pm - 9pm & 22nd April 10am - 5pm
Chakra Balancing - 19th May 6pm - 9pm & 20th May 10am - 5pm

Hi Everyone,

If you're already a Reiki Master*, but would like to expand your Reiki abilities, then this course may be of interest.

Holy Fire is an incredible energy and comes with a whole toolkit of energetic abilities. But the icing on the cake here is the inclusion off the beautiful Karuna energies.

For more details please have a look at the description in the event or drop me a messenger message.

In love and light,

Rob Linden

*you must already be a Reiki Master to take this course.
