🌍 Planet & Presence - A world of Hope

Join us for four lunchtime sessions (55 minutes), inspired by ‘The Book of Hope: A survival guide for trying times’ by Conservationist Jane Goodall. A soothing series designed to untangle and recalibrate your nervous system through Qi Gong inspired practices and intuitive movement, suitable for all levels.

Each week we will draw from one of Jane’s Four Reasons for Hope and come together for:

💞 Qi Gong / Yoga
💞 Meditation
💞 Reflections on planet and presence

Available both live and on catch-up - you can attend all, some or none of the classes live depending on your schedule. Please note: we will keep our doors open all month, so even if you miss the first week, you can still sign up, watch the replay(s) and take part. (Recordings will be available for one month following course.)

After Elena welcomes and introduces you to each session, Yoga and Meditation teacher, Harriet will guide you through Qi Flow practices - movement, meditation and reflection - based on Jane’s very own reasons for Hope:

✨ WEEK 1 - 12th January 2026 The Amazing Human Intellect (Live class 1pm + replay available to all)

✨ WEEK 2 - 19th January 2026 The Resilience of Nature (Live class 1pm + replay available to all)

✨ WEEK 3 - 26th January 2026 The Power of Young People (Live class 1pm + replay available to all)

✨ WEEK 4 - 2nd February 2026 The Indomitable Human Spirit (Live class 1pm + replay available to all)

🙏 Mediation, Movement, Reflection & Restoration

Even in the grey drizzle of mid-Winter, there is hope. There is light. There is joy.

And we want to help you to start 2026 filled with light, joy and hope. Join us in the New Year. We’ll hold your hand, soothe your soul and energise your spirit.

As well as the weekly sessions you will also receive:

💫 Pre/post live session email with access to the session (live link and recording) and an invitation, a reflection or prompt
💫 Additional meditations to support you throughout Hope Month
💫 Invitation to join a 'low traffic', gentle Hope Month WhatsApp broadcast group
💫 The opportunity to read or listen along to The Book of Hope as we progress through the programme.

Quoting Jane herself:

“Hope is often misunderstood. People tend to think that it is simply passive wishful thinking…. This is the opposite of real hope, which requires action and engagement. I hope people realise that their actions, however small they may seem, will truly make a difference.

It is my sincere desire that this book will help you find solace in a time of anguish, direction in a time of uncertainty, courage in a time of fear.

We invite you to join us on this journey toward hope.”

💖 A little extra gift from us to you

After signing up you will be sent a bonus meditation so you can start to feel the benefit before Hope Month even starts 🧘

IMPORTANT: After you purchase, you will be emailed zoom details of how to join Harriet for these sessions. We ask you kindly not share log in / recording details with anyone outside the group to help us keep this space safe for all participants.

Cost

This beautiful, restorative four-week course is definitely worth £126. However, we would never want cost to be a prohibiting factor in why you wouldn't sign up.

If you are unable to pay the full cost of the course, please don't hesitate to contact Elena ecimelli@contentedcalf.com or Harriet yoga@harrietmg.com and we can work out a price that works for you privately. Please be rest assured regardless of how much you pay, everyone will get full access to the whole course.

Recommendations for Harriet:

“I absolutely love Harriet’s classes. Everything is explained and demonstrated so beautifully. You do what you can and she makes you feel like a super hero. At the end of her classes you feel like you’ve just had a big hug.” — M.C

“If you need to take a breather and check in with yourself, I cannot recommend Harriet’s class enough. I found that it provided a safe space where I felt both liberated and empowered. Loved it!” — L.A

“Harriet’s teaching is beautiful - I often describe it as poetic and regularly recommend her classes to friends. What makes it so beautiful is that Harriet brings my favourite energetic combination of fire and air to the mat - she is strong and powerful, yet grateful and subtle too.” — L.B

About Harriet MacMasters-Green

To find those moments of peace is a struggle for so many of us. Be reassured that the one thing you can know when you begin is that I’m right there with you!

I passionately believe that Yoga is for “Every Body” and that everybody deserves the opportunity to have Yoga in their lives. You don’t need to practice for hours each day, but allow yourself a few minutes of quiet mindfulness within that precious time. This will help support your parasympathetic nervous system which will almost certainly lower the over stimulated mind and body.

About Elena Cimelli

I'm a climate and nature activist, advocate and communicator, with a background as an entrepreneurial marketer who's always had a passion for the environment.

I found yoga when I was pregnant with my first child. I developed a strong love for movement and meditation over many years, first connecting with Harriet in her classes on dark, wintery, early January mornings. So I know first hand what magic and light she brings, and how she can restore your spirit, body and mind when you most need it.
