In this gentle, grounding space, you are invited to soften, listen, and reconnect. Sound Alchemy with Tea Ceremony is an immersive 2-hour offering where sacred tea and sound vibration come together to guide you inward, toward stillness, insight, and restoration. No two journeys are the same. You may feel waves of calm, receive a clear insight, or simply rest more deeply than you have in weeks. All experiences are welcome here. We begin seated in silence, sharing living tea, ethically sourced herbal infusions like Blue Lotus or Bobinsana. As you sip, your senses are invited into the moment: warmth in the hands, breath slowing, thoughts quieting. We will remain with the tea and intention setting before we settle in to receive a curated sound journey . Instruments include alchemy crystal bowls , an Earth-frequency tuned gong , shamanic drum , and shruti box. All woven together to create a field of vibration that supports deep relaxation, energetic clearing, and expanded perception. A space to be with what is, gently held. What Awaits You: Conscious arrival & mindful breathwork Silent tea ceremony with intention setting A richly layered sound journey to soothe, awaken, and restore Time for quiet reflection, journaling, or integration What to Bring: Wear layers and anything that helps you feel warm and relaxed A journal and pen Optional: a personal object for grounding or the shared altar Please avoid perfumes or strong scents, to maintain sensitivity in the space Mats and cushions will be provided for your comfort. Bring extra blankets or what you might need to feel even cosier. Arrival: Please arrive 15 minutes early to ensure you are ready for the sound session to begin on time. Due to the nature of the sound meditation, late arrivals cannot be admitted. Thank you for your understanding. Contraindications: The soundbath sessions are not suitable for people with seizures, epilepsy, heart conditions, high blood pressure or early stages of pregnancy (1st trimester). Participants should be 18 years or over. Exceptions can be made for 12 years old and above if familiar with sound therapy and accompanied by an adult, please check in advance. More about Gong and Sound Journeys Everything in the universe is vibration , and also what we perhaps know deep inside, that the cells of our body hum along to the beat of our heart, creating resonance or dissonance with what we have within. Deeply rooted in our bodies and ancestral memory, the rhythms and sounds of ancestral instruments stir an explosion of feelings and emotions, for as longs as there have been humans and before we even had words, we had sounds, music and rhythms present in nature and in our communities. It is in the exploration of these liminal states that we can bring deep healing with our heart intention. Alchemy crystal bowls , infused with elements like mother of pearl and precious elements, offer luminous tones that ripple through the energetic and emotional body. The Earth-frequency tuned gong anchors you in your body and in the moment, while shamanic drumming and shruti box open pathways to stillness and altered states. These live, layered tones invite a return to coherence of body, mind, and soul. No two journeys are the same. You may feel waves of calm, receive a clear insight, or simply rest more deeply than you have in weeks. All experiences are welcome here. Information Source: Heart of Alchemy | eventbrite

ABOUT THE BOOK Bitter Sweet is a thought-provoking exploration of a relationship founded in power, control and silence, perfect for book clubs. It will be published worldwide this July. 'In my life, there are things that have happened to me, and things that I have done, that have proven to be moments that have a clear before and an after. One of those moments, perhaps in some ways the biggest, was the day that I met Richard Aveling for the first time.' Charlie is twenty-three, single and the new publicity assistant at the independent London publishing house Winden & Shane. Richard Aveling is fifty-six, married and the author that has defined his generation. Charlie has long idolised the charming, illustrious writer, who also represents a link to her late mother, who loved his work. But as they embark on an illicit and all-consuming affair, Charlie is forced to hide the relationship from everyone she cares about. And when the success of Richard's latest book launches him to a new level of fame where all anonymity is lost, she realises she might just be in too deep... 'I inhaled this novel. Utterly believable, immersive and heartfelt. I loved it' JENNIE GODFREY 'Hattie's writing on early-20s friendships and their enmeshed intensity, was so convincing. I enjoyed it so much' MARIAN KEYES 'A timeless tragedy, a story of the intricacies and illusions of true love' CHRIS WHITAKER 'Beautifully crafted, with aftershocks of conscience' JODI PICOULT 'Sharp, compelling, and thought provoking. The perfect book club pick for 2025' LOUISE O'NEILL --- www.hattiewilliams.com Information Source: Bison Beach Bar | eventbrite

'Not Quite Dead Yet' finds Jet Mason, daughter of one of the wealthiest families in Woodstock, Vermont, the victim of a brutal attack which leaves her with seven days to live. Jet never thought of herself as having enemies, but now she looks at everyone in a new light and sets out to solve her own murder. Holly Jackson's books have been translated into over 45 languages and sold millions of copies, not just in the UK and US but all around the world. In 2024 'A Good Girl's Guide To Murder' was turned into a BBC and Netflix series. Her next two standalone novels, 'Five Survive' and 'The Reappearance of Rachel Price' were both huge international number one bestsellers. Holly will be signing books after the talk. Due to time constraints, Holly will be signing and dedicating one book per person (this can be any book by Holly Jackson).
