I am beyond sad that the doors are closing at the Virtual Village Hall. What was born out of despair and loneliness during Covid times, became a lifeline and full of eclectic activities, literally something for everyone.
I am so honoured to have been in the first tranche of tutors at VVH, my 144th session will be on 8th September, so I will be one of the last tutors live in the final week.
I so appreciate the opportunity, to be in peopleās home live during difficult times especially, was a gift and a blessing. Even now I receive feedback saying how my sessions have helped real people - how amazing and humbling is that?
To the back room staff whoāve kept things going, chattted before sessions and sent emails when I was ill, thank you. Youāre all super stars š and if your position is affected by the closure I offer you love and luck for an abundant and happy future.
Iāll be working on an online session for those who wish to continue to practise with me. Hop to Find Your Happy Wellbeing and follow me for news.
Please keep in touch everyone.

It is with sadness that we announce the closure of the Virtual Village Hall.

The last live session will take place on 11th September.
While live sessions are coming to an end, the YouTube back catalogue of VVH sessions will remain available as a resource for people to continue to access, enjoy and benefit from.
