Upcoming Events
Important Notice​
Following surgery at the end of October 2025 I am pleased to say that I am slowly and surely arranging some events for the forthcoming year. Unfortunately, we have also had a family bereavement meaning things are starting a bit slower than anticipated.
Many thanks

Surprise Morning Retreat
Where: In the Yurt in Ingleton (full address provided upon payment)
Date: Sunday 9 August
Time: 10:30am - 1:00pm
Would you like to join me on Sunday 8 August? A morning retreat 10.30am to 1pm. An option to swim in the river afterwards, weather and river levels dependant. A late Lammas Celebration. The flowers here are earlier than normal, and some not lasting as long as usual due to this glorious sunshine. It’s definitely affecting the plants. We will see which flowers are ready for gathering on the day. We will definitely have a Yoga Nidra and we will definitely take a drum journey. Which plants we work with will remain a surprise. Which means we won’t know what we’re going to create until the day, whether we are making a tincture, taking home to dry, starting a dyeing process or something else entirely.
​
Be prepared for being outdoors in the sunshine or rain. We will gather in the Yurt and maybe spend some time in the garden. We will lean into whatever the day brings us both weather wise and plant wise.
​
Are you ready for this surprise adventure?
£35 books your spot, including herbal tea and homemade cake.
Bring swimmers if you want a dip, bring a journal and pen, maybe some pencils, pastels, paints. I will have a few bits and bots for your use.
Blankets and cushions await you. I will have all that you need for whatever we create together, a dye, a tincture, who knows.

Nidra & Sound In The Yurt – Spring Dates
Where: Ingleton (full address provided on payment)
Date: Autumn dates to be announced soon...
Time: TBA
Price: £30
We are back! Jennie of Nurturing Touch and myself are delighted to invite you back to our Nidra & Sound events. Our Spring dates begin just before Beltaine a time when the energy all around us is rich and potent. Our June date is on the Summer Solstice, the sun at her highest, the longest day. The peak of the sun’s energy with creativity and growth all around us, some say this is the point where summer begins.
​
We invite you to sink into the energy of Spring with us. Fertility and abundance all around. A time of turning outwards and seeing all that you have been dreaming of in the darker months begin to emerge into the light and flourish. Lyn will guide you through Nidras themed with the time of the year, the turning of the wheel. As Lyn leads you into Jennie’s sound bath the sounds of voices and instruments will wash within you and around you, joined by bird song, river and breeze in the trees. The fire will be roaring to keep you snug and warm as you sink down and relax. A nest of blankets and cushions await you. Herbal teas and Jennie’s homemade chocolates to bring you round afterwards.
Both Yoga Nidra and Sound take the body into a state of deep relaxation and sacred rest, sinking into the whole of your being.
To book your place please contact me on lyn@sacredawakenings.co.uk for bank details or payment can be made via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sacredawakenings44 (please use family and friends option) Please leave a message with your payment for the date and time you wish to book.

Fetching Death and Grief As Allies
Where: Ingleton, North Yorkshire (full address provided upon payment)
Date: Postponed - new dates confirmed soon.
Price: £480
An in-person workshop of two weekends with a grounding, beautiful, connecting Nidra in between by zoom.
Michelle and I have been hearing the call to work with death for some time now. Each feeling a pull from different directions. The Wild Hunt a pivotal point in the coming together.
Honouring all that we have learnt over the years, we have put together our own unique and individual way of being with death and grief. The call to do this work and share with you our deep and delicious discoveries can be ignored no longer. The Spirits are a’calling!
The first weekend we will be sitting with death, discussing the importance of valuing and honouring death in all its forms. We will delve into the Norse Traditions of death and endings bringing experiences of connection and creativity.
Looking at the threads and connections of honouring dying wishes of others as well as our own. Seeing how these impact and ripple beyond this realm. Receiving insights into how to navigate these successfully.
We will explore spiritual (whatever this may mean to you) as well as practical aspects of inviting death to be our Ally.
Our second weekend together will take us to Grief. The layers of grief, complexity of grief and grieving; honouring our own and that of others.
Together we will create grief maps and grief collages helping us to map, navigate and build a supportive, flowing relationship with Grief as Ally.
We will introduce you to the Norse Soul Map, providing a new perspective and understanding on how grief appears within us and others. Leading us to a different way of exploring Grief as Ally.
A journey to Pisces in your birth chart to seek your medicine for unfinished business in this life and, if part of your belief, past lives too.
During both weekends we will walk the land. Have time for sacred creativity; a ceremony will be created and held on each Saturday evening.
Times of both weekends will be the same:
Saturday 10am to 5pm with an hour lunchbreak, Saturday evening 6.30pm to 8pm
For Saturday please bring food to eat, there will be access to a cooker for warming food. Cafes and shops 10 minutes walk away in the village
