What we’re about
Hello and welcome to our Group introduction.
This Group embraces different aspects of Spirituality. We will cover diverse topics from Psychic Development to Gong Baths and from Energy Healing to Law of Attraction and many things in between.
Our aim is to support you to find your resonance with your body and soul, to help you find your soul purpose. As the Buddhist saying goes, "There are many paths to the top of the mountain but only one view from the top." So we are here to support you find your path in a non-prescriptive way. In so doing create a community of similar souls who you can reach out to when times get challenging.
Thank you for the privilege of sharing your journey with us.
Love & Blessings,
Jon and Elara
Upcoming events (4)
See all- Reiki Share - OnlineThe Pathways Studio, Salford£12.00
This event offers participants who are attuned in Reiki the opportunity to channel and experience Reiki in a powerful group setting by giving and receiving group Reiki. Everyone is welcome regardless of lineage, branch, level or experience.
You are also welcome if you are interested in attuning to Reiki but would like to experience Reiki in this setting first.
Group Reiki is also known as Shuchu Reiki, ‘Shuchu’ meaning ‘concentrated’, ‘Rei’ meaning ‘spiritual’ and ‘ki’ meaning ‘energy’ and is a powerful way of experiencing Reiki. Regular attendance at Reiki Share is a good way of increasing your connection to Source, your intuitive abilities and your ability to scan and connect with the energies.
We will commence with a Reiki Circle, which will give an opportunity for Reiki practitioners to come together in community and share experiences.
A Reiki Reiju blessing will be provided to all participants before we participate in giving and receiving Reiki within an atmosphere of unconditional love, friendship and respect. The Reiju is an Eastern Reiki attunement which will help to strengthen the Reiki energy and also will work further with the individual.
If there is time before we finish, we will end with a Healing Circle where we will send Group Distant Healing to all those nominated by the attendees.

- A Taste of Tantra - Introductory AfternoonThe Pathways Studio, Salford£28.00
We are delighted to offer you this stand-alone in-person introduction to tantra afternoon during which we will guide you through a gentle and safe experience of the basic principles of Tantra. It also serves as an introduction to our Transformation Tantra Massage Training.
We aim for the experience to be fun, sensuous, full of learning and surprises.
Through a series of gentle exercises; alone, in pairs and as a group, the principles we will explore are:
- You are not an island in the ocean of life, but are part of that ocean. You are connected with all of the life around you.
- You are not a static thing but a flow of energy. You are not any of the forms you embody, but are the energy that transforms from one form to another as you choose, in consciousness and in freedom.
- Your mind is not limited to thinking, planning, and worrying, but can create awareness, noticing what is in the moment, both within you and around you. The mind creates a virtual reality, while awareness brings you into contact with what is.
- You are not just your physical body, but are at the same time an energy body, through which you can connect energetically with others.
- Your flow of energy creates the connection between your sex, your heart and your spirit, and so can lead to an experience of your totality. Through the connectedness and wholeness, within and without, a sense of the sacredness of life, in ourselves and in the other, becomes manifest.
Tantra is a map that shows us how to tap into the life energy within us, through sex, heart and spirit, that has the power to transform our lives, bringing a new quality of aliveness and awareness into every area of our experience. Tantra is a non-prescriptive path, where everyone can go at their own speed, following their hearts. It is an incredible journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance and ultimately self-love.
This exciting intro to tantra event provides a basic understanding of the key areas of tantra through a series of creative exercises. It is a safe, supportive environment delivered by Shakti Elara and Jon Gosling.
The doors open at 1:30pm and the event starts at 2:00pm.
This workshop is open to individuals and couples/triads/other constellations of all genders, sexualities and body types.

- Bioenergetics - Block 1The Pathways Studio, Salford£440.00
We are delighted to bring this one-of-a-kind Bioenergetics Year Long Training for the first time to the UK. This is one of less than five yearlong Bioenergetics trainings worldwide.
If you are curious about bioenergetics but don’t want to commit to a year long training, you are welcome to try the first block which is standalone.
How we embody and express our energy makes our psyche and our patterns of reactions to life visible. We hold in our bodies the energy we dared not express when we were vulnerable children, both as a tension in the muscles and as a charge of energy in the organs and connective tissue. This fixed form of expression and defence is called our character. It is our social, adapted self, and blocks and represses our spontaneous flow of life energy, our wildness, including large amounts of our sexuality and creativity.
***What is Bioenergetics?***
Bioenergetics is not to be confused with the body of work that comes from biochemistry but comes from Wilhelm Reich and the therapy developed by his students.Bioenergetics can be taken as a self-exploration through becoming aware of tensions in your body. These tensions are created by the energies of past formative experience which are imprinted on your body. This creates your character, the person you became under the influence of your parents and your society. By becoming aware of this we can release the tension and free up our energy to choose life in each moment. Thus, we are able to free up a huge amount of energy for our aliveness, our creativity, our pleasure and joy in life to create our conscious path and fulfil our dreams.
Themes for this training are:
- Understanding the patterns and needs of one’s character type
- Moving from dependency to independence
- Being aware of your feelings and expressing them appropriately and communicatively
- Knowing what you want and what you don’t want and communicating that safely and respectfully
- Assertiveness
- Raising your energy levels, being more alive, aware, sensitive to life.
- Grounding and standing on your own feet
- Increasing the flexibility of one’s attitudes
- Flowing with life instead struggling against it
- Opening to aliveness and pleasure
- Being able to be present and to stay in contact
- Primal therapy, birth and intrauterine experiences and imprints that affect our lifetime patterns of energy.
We will support you to gain an understanding of:
- The phenomenon of resistance and how to use and work through it.
- How to work energetically and physically with projection, both positive and negative.
- The different kinds of touch, their intent and applications: holding, containing, focusing, making conscious, confronting, soothing, mothering and fathering, supporting, grounding.
- The emotional plague, repression and rebellion.
- Armouring and core energetics, energy and character.
- Imprints, memoire corporelle (cellular memory), regression, Janov and Grof.
- The relationship between consciousness and energy, catharsis, demons, creative confrontation, witness consciousness.
- The importance of breath, Reichian and other breathing techniques.
- The orgasm reflex, the birth reflex.
- Character analysis – the character types and their use in therapy.
- Therapy and spirituality.
- Techniques to raise energy, bioenergetic stress positions, Osho meditations.
- Grounding and its importance, both through the feet and through the eyes.
- The segments and their order of opening.
- Self-regulation, the inner wisdom and balance of the body
- An analysis of our own character and patterns, which we respect as a necessity for survival
- An understanding of the biographical causes of any stuckness and limitations
- Strategies for managing trauma and fear
- Supporting individuals to find freedom of expression and creativity as autonomous human beings
The ability to read the energy and character of others and know how to support their energy will also be taught. As such, it is an invaluable training both for oneself and as a professional resource for those working energetically with others.
In Block 1 the key aspects we will be exploring are:
- The relationship between tension and relaxation
- Some patterns of holding / armouring
- How to support the flow of energy
- Reich’s concept of segments and looking at some of the key ones
- How to support ones energetic flow

- Shamanic TrainingThe Pathways Studio, Salford£425.00
Shamanism studies our energetic connection to everything around us, the elements, the minerals, plants and animals, and especially the spirit connections, including to our ancestors, our karma and our sacred dream. We develop our ability to perceive energy and spirit through our energy body, the awareness of which brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. Elara teaches in the beauty way in the tradition of the Twisted Hairs medicine teachings passed on through Arwyn Dreamwalker.
Shamanic healing in this path needs 11 people plus the person being healed and is very powerful. Since Elara learnt how to participate in shamanic healings (both as someone giving healing as well as someone receiving healing), she has been struck by its power and felt inspired to create a community in the UK where we can come together after the training to both give and receive healings. This is a major inspiration for putting this training on and the medicine wheel and shamanic healing will form a significant part of the training. It is intended that regular healing sessions will then be held at Pathways Studio for the participants.
The Medicine Way is a closed group of people that walk together for potentially up to one year if you continue with further blocks. We will explore with Elara both intellectually and experientially the medicine wheel. We will learn new ways of understanding and relating to reality in all its manifestations with respect and equality. The training consists of four 4-day-long meetings and is a strong personal transformation process.
The teaching of the medicine wheel can help us in many areas of life:
- to grow from a childish way of looking at the world into an adult way and see the reality through the mind and heart simultaneously
- to find balance between our inner active and receptive polarity
- to dance our life energy awake to move towards our sacred dream
- to free ourselves on the line of karma – ancestors, thus liberating ourselves from unconscious patterns from the past
- to experience a feeling of oneness and harmony with everything around us, instead of a feeling of helplessness or need for control
