HEARTH

Tanya Forgan is a Somatic Group Facilitator, Ritualist, Embodiment Guide, and Visionary devoted to the revival of community, ritual, and the human capacity to love.

For over two decades she has committed her life to awakening the heart, personally and collectively, through trauma-informed spaces, circle work, and embodied healing. Her work rekindles what we once knew: that we awaken and thrive in community, through honest presence, truth-telling, and shared humanity.

Tanya is known for her depth, tenderness, and the fiercely compassionate way she holds the human heart. Her spaces invite people to soften protective layers, restore belonging to the body, and return to a more soulful, relational way of living. She weaves together nervous system literacy, breathwork, rest practices, ceremony, and communal healing to create experiences that transform from the inside out.

Her work spans retreats, workshops, circles, grief rituals, seasonal ceremonies, and community gatherings across the UK and beyond. Rooted in inclusivity and ancestral reverence, her approach honours healing as a relational, often untidy process, one that unfolds through being witnessed, held, and gently remembered back into belonging.

Rooted in the philosophy of Ubuntu, "I am because we are", her work is a call to return to what is sacred, to reclaim rest, reverence, and community as birthrights, and to live from the heart as a daily devotion.

At a time of cultural unravelling, Tanya stands for gentle but radical transformation: one circle, one nervous system, one courageous heart at a time.

Catherine is a musician, teacher, group facilitator and sound therapist who brings live music, voice and sound into spaces of connection, expression and belonging. Her work offers people an invitation to listen more deeply; to themselves, to one another, and to what may be asking for attention beneath the busyness of everyday life.

A versatile musician, Catherine sings and plays a range of instruments, including piano and flute. She brings these gifts into relationship with the people gathered before her, creating space for feeling, reflection and connection. Her music can offer somewhere to rest, accompany a tender moment, or give expression to something that words alone cannot reach.

Through her work with groups, Catherine brings together her love of music, teaching and the possibilities that emerge when people gather. There is room for participation as well as listening, for quiet as well as expression, and for people to find their own way into the shared experience.

Grief tending is an important part of her collaboration with Tanya. Together, they have created spaces online and in person where music, ritual and Circle support people to meet loss in the company of others. Catherine’s live music is woven through these gatherings, accompanying both the sorrow and the love that grief can bring to the surface.

At the heart of this work is a shared conviction: we need the village. We need opportunities to come together with the complexity of our lives, to hear and be heard, and to remember that we have something to offer one another.

Catherine brings the gift of music into that meeting, allowing a melody, a voice, a breath or a shared silence to become part of how we connect.
