Why I Created This Community
For a long time, I believed that if you wanted to run a healing space you needed a big budget, perfect branding, and everything figured out before you even started. But that wasnât my reality when I finally stepped up and started. I opened my space with less than ÂŁ1000. There was no big investment. No fancy setup. Just a vision, a willingness to learn as I went, and a deep belief in the importance of creating safe spaces for people to come together. The floating sound baths started the same way, with no budget at all. Just an idea and the determination to make it work. Two years later, the space is still running, the sound baths are still happening, and the community continues to grow. What Iâve learned along the way is that so many incredible facilitators, cacao guides, reiki practitioners, sound healers, coaches, are sitting on beautiful ideas but feel held back because they think they need more money, more equipment, or more experience before they begin. You donât. Sometimes you just need someone to show you whatâs possible. This community is here to help facilitators: ⢠Create safe and meaningful spaces for others ⢠Turn their dream into a real business ⢠Learn practical ways to get started without huge budgets ⢠Grow something sustainable that truly reflects their work Not theory. Not âperfectâ. Just real experience, practical ideas, and support from people on the same path. If youâre here because you feel called to create something, a circle, a workshop, a healing space, an experience for others, then youâre in the right place. Letâs build it together. From thisâŚâŚ. To thisâŚâŚ

Playback Available: A Raw Conversation About Addiction, Pressure & Recovery
https://www.mixcloud.com/CValleyRadio/healing-beats-soulful-speaks-with-dj-doris-24th-march-2026-ft-chat-with-oliver-william-johnson/?play=fb If you didnât catch this weekâs Calder Valley Radio show with Oli, the playback is now available. âŹď¸ Honestly â this was one of the rawest conversations Iâve hosted. We spoke very openly about addiction. What it actually looks like in real life. How quietly it can take hold. And what recovery really involves beyond the headlines people usually hear. One of the most important things we explored was this: Addiction doesnât always look like crisis. Sometimes it looks like coping. Sometimes it looks like pressure. Sometimes it looks like someone still showing up to work every day, running a business, supporting a family, and holding everything together on the outside. Thatâs why conversations like this matter. Because many people who are struggling donât recognise themselves in the word addiction. If anything in this discussion resonates more closely than expected, support is available: Local support (Calderdale): - Calderdale Recovery Steps â 01422 415550 - The Basement Recovery Project (Halifax & Todmorden) â 01422 383063 - Alpha House Calderdale â residential recovery support National support: - Talk to Frank â 0300 123 6600 - Alcoholics Anonymous UK â 0800 917 7650 - Cocaine Anonymous UK â 0800 612 0225 Reaching out early is a strength â not a last resort. Thank you again to Oli for speaking so honestly and helping open a conversation many people quietly need to hear.

End of March Challenge Lesson
As weâre coming towards the end of the March vision board challenge, I got a reminder yesterday that surprised me a bit. Vision boarding for the future is powerful. But being grateful for what you already have is just as important. Yesterday my car decided to teach me that lesson đ
Passenger window dropped down and wouldnât come back up. Then I âlockedâ my keys in the boot⌠except they werenât locked in, they were wrapped inside the duct tape and bags Iâd been using to stop the rain getting in while driving. Which also meant I couldnât see my side mirror properly. So there I was driving home in the rain telling my car how grateful I am for her. Because yes â I do need a bigger vehicle for things like transporting 25 airbeds and equipment for Retreat at the Mill⌠But this car is still what makes everything possible right now. Hereâs the coaching lesson in this: Vision boards help you focus on whatâs next. Gratitude keeps you grounded in whatâs already supporting you. You need both. So as we close out this monthâs challenge, ask yourself: Whatâs already helping you move forward that you maybe havenât thanked yet?

Itâs not your job to fix anyone or everyone!
Something no one talks about when you start holding circles⌠Itâs not your job to fix anyone. When people first begin holding space, they often feel responsible for how everyone is feeling in the room. Someone cries? You feel like you should help. Someone goes quiet? You feel like you should check in. Someone looks uncomfortable? You feel like you should change something. But real space holding isnât about rescuing people. Itâs about creating a space strong enough that people can sit with themselves safely. Thatâs where the magic actually happens ⨠Your role is to: â hold the structure â keep the energy steady â stay grounded â stay present Not solve. The moment you stop trying to âdo somethingâ for everyone in the room⌠your circles become deeper your confidence grows and people begin to trust the space more. Because they can feel youâre not performing. Youâre holding. And trust me on this one â people can tell the difference immediately đ

One thing I wish someone had told me before I started holding circlesâŚ
People donât come back because your meditation was perfect. They donât come back because your playlist was magical. They donât even come back because of cacao. They come back because of how they felt in the room. Safe. Seen. Not rushed. Not judged. Not âmanaged.â Although I can be a bit of a control freak at timesâŚ. đŹ When I first started, I thought I had to create something impressive. Now I know my real job is to create something safe and steady. That means: â arriving early and setting the space properly â thinking about how people walk into the room â how they sit â how they settle â how they leave The transitions matter more than the technique. Honestly? I spend as much time preparing the energy of the room as I do planning what Iâm actually going to say. And hereâs the bit most new facilitators miss: Small circles build strong facilitators. Start with 5 people. Learn how the space breathes. Learn how you breathe in it. Learn what silence feels like when youâre holding it. Big circles can come later. Trust grows in small rooms first.
