SHODEN - REIKI LEVEL 1 TRAINING | MAY 23-24

Are you curious about Reiki? Do you want to be attuned to this gentle yet powerful energy? Would you like to learn how to use Reiki for both self healing and offering healing to others? Then join us for our next round of Shoden - Reiki Level 1 training at our beautiful wellbeing studio in Claverley, Shropshire. Learning from a Buddhist teacher with over 15 years of experience as a Reiki Practitioner.

Reiki Level 1 or First Degree Reiki in Japanese is called 'Shoden' which means 'First Teachings'. The Shoden teachings encompass not only the practice of hands on/off healing techniques but also a set of principles and attitudes for personal and spiritual growth. While the core of Reiki involves the channeling of healing energy, it also invites us to integrate the Reiki precepts into our daily lives. This is something we will be exploring during the course of the weekend and why we have dedicated two full days to this training. This also allows for plenty of time for discussions and integration. We are also only offering the training to a small group of up to 4-6 so spaces are limited and some of the spots are already taken. Reiki level 1 also lays the foundation for going on to be a practitioner with level 2 (we recommend a 6-12 month gap between doing level 1 and level 2) - this was the way in which Michelle was taught and how she likes to deliver the trainings.

On Day one we will start by exploring the theory and history of Reiki and the Reiki precepts. Michelle will be giving each person an empowerment on day one to gently introduce them to the reiki energy. We will then explore practices and meditations to connect with Reiki and how to cleanse and protect your energy.

On day 2, we begin the day with the Reiki level 1 attunement. Once attuned we will spend the rest of the day going through the self healing treatment and how to treat others (this is just for friends and family, Level 1 is not practitioner level). We will have plenty of time to practice on our selves and each other and for discussion. At the end of day 2 certificates will be awarded and everyone will be set up with the important post Reiki attunement self care. Participants will be set up with an online portal which gives them access to resources, supportive practices and access to Michelle for support/advice/questions.

Michelle has been a Reiki Practitioner for over 15 years. She did her original training in Sydney with Grand Master Alex Topic of Reiki Energy Therapy back in 2009. She then went on to do her Reiki Level 3 & Master Teacher Training via 6 month in-person 1:1 mentorship with Victoria Heath of Ravenwood in 2023. She is also a Buddhist meditation and scripture teacher with over 14 years of experience in Tibetan and Western Buddhism.

Investment is ยฃ250 for the weekend - certificates and workbooks and online platform are included in the training. A ยฃ50 deposit is required to secure your spot.

ALIGNMENT WORKSHOP | SUNDAY 12th APRIL | 10AM-12PM

Join me for this two hour workshop dedicated to alignment. During this two hour session we will have the time and space to break down a selection of yoga poses and the transitions between them. This kind of detail isn't always possible in a weekly class and so it's wonderful to be able to do this in a workshop format. The focus will be on moving holistically and in a biomechanically optimal way as well as honouring your individual body - we won't be forcing our bodies into cookie cutter shapes.

We will also be debunking alignment myths such as allowing the knee to pass beyond the ankle in the warrior poses as well as looking at common alignment cues that keep us locked out of our core power.

We will look at the importance of breath and bandhas and a holistic approach to using them to support our practice.

We will use a variety of props to explore movement, alignment and myofascial muscle meridians! Students can opt in or out of hands on assists during the workshop.

This workshop is suitable for yoga students and yoga teachers ๐Ÿค—

It's a been a while since I did a Day Retreat and I was feeling called to offer one all about working with Goddess. Full details in post below ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ•ฏ

Join us for a whole day dedicated to Goddess ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ•ฏ

Many people have shared with us recently that they would like to deepen their connection to Goddess but they don't really know where to start. In this day retreat we will explore how to connect with and work with Goddess and what Goddess spirituality means in modern life.

We will explore devotional practices such as altars, prayers and ritual, how to create and maintain a relationship with Goddess and listen to how she speaks to us individually. We will also explore archetypes and reclaiming her stories and how to work safely.

The day will include lots of embodiment practices such as Goddess chants, drumming and movement practices. Chelle will also be giving Goddess energetic empowerments as part of the day too.

The day will also include some beautiful creative activities - we will be learning how to create mala beads with rose petals ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ and how to work with sacred oils and creating our very own Goddess oil to take home.

This day retreat is running 10am-4pm in the Goddess Temple and is ยฃ75.00.

Refreshments are included, lunch is byo. Any questions or to book please email me michelle.rose.boxley@gmail.com

Today we welcome in the second new moon of 2026, Lunar New Year and Lunar Imbolc! Today's New Moon in Aquarius is also an annular solar eclipse and initiates eclipse season which will close with the full moon lunar eclipse on March 3rd. In Chinese astrology we are shifting from the year of the Wood Snake into the year of the Fire Horse and today is also Chinese New Year/Spring Festival. I have written a blog all about these powerful eclipse energies which you can read for free via the link in the comments below :)

Still a few spaces left for tonight's soundbath if you'd like to join us :)

Join me on Friday 13th (sacred day of the Goddess) for our next crystal bowl soundbath.

This time we are welcoming in Lunar new year and the new moon solar eclipse in Aquarius (lunar Imbolc).

This soundbath is taking place 4 days before we usher in this new lunar year but also eclipse season. Eclipses are a powerful time to clear all the no longer serves, notice what is ending and tend to new beginnings. We will be using this session to close out the year of the snake and welcome in the year of the fire horse. We will also be working with the last phase of the lunar cycle which creates a powerful time to release, let go and make space for the new.

Session runs 7:15-8:30pm and is ยฃ20. Email michelle.rose.boxley@gmail.com to book in ๐Ÿ™

WOMEN'S CIRCLE FACILITATOR TRAINING - 28-29th MARCH

"MAGIC HAPPENS WHEN WOMEN GATHER"

Women have been gathering together in sacred space for centuries in various cultures and faiths throughout the world. In recent years there has been a resurgence of women's circles and more and more women are feeling the call to learn how to hold sacred space for their community.

Women's circles (when held by trained facilitators) create a safe and supportive environment for women to come as they are, check-in with how they're feeling and reflect on where they're heading. Circles gift women both time to be with other women in community and also quiet time to go inwards and cultivate that important relationship with self.

Sacred structure and the art of holding space are really important when offering women's circles as well as understanding what it means to be trauma informed and to facilitate ethically. During this training we will be looking in detail at how to hold this type of sacred space and how to craft inclusive themes that help your group feel inspired, empowered and connected.

During this training you will learn:

- What is a Women's Circle and the importance of them in the modern day
- Sacred Cycles - attuning to the Moon and the Seasons
- Getting started with Astrology
- Feminine Archetypes & How to weave them into your circles
- The Goddess - how to honour Goddess in modern times and reclaiming her stories
- The Elements - how to weave in the elements to rituals, ceremonies and circle themes
- How to craft your own circle themes - combining all of the above to craft unique and empowering themes
- How to create and guide meditations
- How to set up sacred space
- How to hold space and the ethics of holding circles - we will be discussing cultural appropriation and the importance of being trauma informed and inclusive
- The Art of Ritual
- How to build community
- The practicalities of setting up circles - social media, marketing and finding your authentic voice

This course will be a mixture of self study - where you journey through the various lessons, video tutorials and downloadable resources via the online portal and then we will be gathering for an immersive in-person weekend at the beautiful Brigid Rooms Goddess Temple in Claverley, Shropshire.

Even if you don't feel quite ready to start hosting your own circles this course will give you such nourishment for your own practices - learning how to create rituals, meditations and sacred space for yourself and deepening your understanding of all things Divine Feminine and Goddess!

THE TEACHER
This training is being facilitated by Michelle Boxley, owner of the Brigid Rooms. Michelle is an ordained Priestess of Goddess with Motherhouse of the Goddess. She has just entered her 7th year of Priestess training with Kimberly Moore, having completed her advanced Priestess training at the end of 2025. Before walking the Path of the Priestess, Michelle spent many years living and working at Buddhist Temples in Australia where she trained meditation teachers, ran retreats and workshops and was a meditation and Scripture Teacher. She completed her Women's Circle Facilitator Training with the Wild Woman Project in the Spring of 2017 and has been leading women's circles for 9 years. She is also a Senior Yoga Teacher (500hr+) & Teacher Trainer, Holistic Therapist (15 years+) and Reiki Master Teacher.

The cost of this course is ยฃ350 which includes the two in-person days, the abundant online content and the beautiful printed workbooks. Payment plans are available and can be discussed on an individual basis to suit you. A non refundable deposit of ยฃ100 is required to secure your space.

Drumming circle this friday ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Our first drumming circle of the year is taking place this Friday (6th February) 7:15-8:15pm. These circles are so wonderfully uplifting and a great way to release some of that intense full moon energy. This circle is taking place 5 days after the full moon in Leo and so we will be working with the waning moon. We will also be drumming to welcome in the seasonal celebration of Imbolc ๐Ÿ•ฏ๐ŸŒฑ

You don't need any previous experience with drumming and you can borrow drums and shakers if you don't have your own. We also include Goddess and Proto Celtic chants as well as lots of free styling with our voices.
