Together, we’ll bring the world back to its senses

Back To Being Happy/Healthy/YOU

In a world that never stops, we create space to pause, breathe, and reconnect. Using stillness, scent, ancient wisdom, and creativity, we help people reduce stress, strengthen their hearts, and find the support of community. It’s the antidote to a world which has gone off track — and it’s needed now more than ever.

Inspiring feedback from fellow beings

Here are some lovely words from people who have experienced one of our workshops. 

What an amazing work shop thank you.

It was all great but it was particularly helpful to be given some practical tools to manage anxiety and difficult emotions. Ria creates such a welcome and inclusive space to talk and open up and it felt great to be part of a like minded community. I’d love to be involved in more workshops Back to Being has on offer.

Absolute joy

I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this workshop, creating my own scented anchor to help calm my system in times of stress is incredibly valuable to me. Doing this whilst connecting with others in the warm, safe, welcoming space that Ria provides was an absolute joy.

Very supportive group session

I really enjoyed the experience of the Workshop. I found it to be a very supportive group session and that gave me so much confidence, so that I could actually relax and be myself as well as feeling comfortable in speaking out without fear. I felt very at home with the subject matter and I'm always  wanting to learn more about anything I am interested in and anything I have experience in. Ria provided so much learning for us all in a very relaxed and approachable manner that made everyone feel very comfortable. I love to learn new skills, which Ria was able to share with us and the issues we discussed were extremely meaningful for me. I enjoyed every moment of the session, I felt happy when I left since it lifted my spirits and I found the whole 90 minutes went so fast because I was enjoying myself and getting so much from the session. For me, it was an uplifting experience that has carried through to today and, hopefully, beyond. Thank you so much to Ria and I hope we can have more of these Workshops perhaps on a regular basis.

Slow. Intentional. True.

Our purpose

To be the pause the world forgot

In a world that moves too fast and demands too much, we create the pause the world forgot.

We reconnect people with themselves, strengthen hearts and minds, and inspire healthier, more joyful ways of living. Through community, practical tools, and the healing power of nature, we make lasting wellbeing not just possible — but beautifully inevitable.
