Supportive sessions to help you thrive and grow.
Connect with Beyond the Storm Community at our wellness collective session which meets on the last Sunday of the month 1.15pm-2.45pm at Norton and Cuckney Village Hall, NG20 9NQ.
What is “Beyond the Storm Wellness Collective”?
It is a new initiative to connect hope-filled, spiritually curious individuals who are seeking some 'me-time' away from the demands of everyday life. It is a safe space to explore wellness and spirituality with a different theme each month e.g. Rest, Growth, Choice.
Who are the sessions led by?
The sessions are led by former Nurse Specialist and Christian Leader, Rachel Baxter, whom now practices as a Life Coach and Personal Assistant.
Rachel is passionate about faith, wellness and community. She is an advocate for people living with chronic health conditions, not just because of her professional background in healthcare and faith leadership, but also because she understands from a personal perspective the importance of recovery support from Burnout, trauma injury and management of long-term conditions.
Rachel has found that being around people who are open to new possibilities and have a hunger for life is contagious. Are we connecting with hope-filled people? The company we share is vital to our well-being and having pockets of time with people who welcome peace, joy and love is sacred.
We all have a story to tell; however, we must recognise that we have a choice in how our story continues. Our previous chapters do not define us; how we approach the next chapter is influenced by our thoughts. We need an open heart and mind and allow God to guide us.
What can I expect from the sessions?
The sessions aim to be a place where we fill our cup with love, peace, hope and joy. We encourage personal growth through exploring individual gifts/talents and enrich our community through optional collaborative engagement.
Join Rachel as she leads the group in a safe space, encouraging connection, firstly with ourselves through a grounding exercise, with God through meditative prayer and the option to explore what comes up for you through a mindful activity. There is absolutely no expectation of anyone to participate in the activities if just being present and sitting quietly is enough for you right now.
I am not religious, I would describe myself as spiritual. Is this group for me?
You are most welcome to come as you are, with faith or no belief, spiritually curious or none of those, but you just have a real thirst for peace, joy and hope in your life. This is a safe space to explore our understanding of life and purpose. We encourage wellness and spiritual growth whilst respecting individual beliefs, values and faith. We are saving a seat for you!
How much do the sessions cost?
Rachel suggests a donation of £5 per session to cover the cost of room hire, refreshments and activity materials. The purpose of this group is to reach everyone, whatever our circumstances, therefore if cash is tight this month, please do not feel obliged to pay when you sign in. Alternatively, if you are financially in a position to 'pay it forward' for people who aren't able to pay, this is also an option to help sustain future sessions.
We can achieve more when we gather together. I look forward to seeing you there.

In 2025 we enjoyed a day of RENEWAL starting with an awakening of our body with mindful movement, deep rest and gentle healing in the morning with local Yoga Instructor 'Zen with Paula'.
Followed with a nutritious lunch cooked for us by The Energised Woman- Jo Bibby (Wellness Coach and Podcaster who specialises in Nutrition and Menopause).
Fired up from lunch we gave our body a rest and allow the meal to digest whilst we exercise our mind and spirit. We explored deeper meanings of 'Renewal' and what it means for us individually through a creative activity which allowed space to reflect and set intentions for the season ahead.
Our senses were uplifted as we gifted a specially crafted DoTerra essential oil blend created especially for our RENEW retreat by Cynthia Alcantara Casillas - South Yorkshire's DoTerra Wellness Consultant.
We closed the day with reflection, gratitude for the present and intention for the season ahead. It was such a pleasure to share this special day with such beautiful souls. I am already looking forward to our next retreat. Watch this space for further details.
