A collaboration proposal for &Soul Shoreditch

TunedInHeart

brings together compassion-centred gatherings through mindfulness, sound, and creative making.

Our three offerings Mindful Pause, Mindful Play, and Mindful Heart create heart-led spaces where people can step out of the busyness of everyday life and return to themselves.

When people are given space to return to themselves, they can return to life and one another with more energy, focus, and presence.

Three invitations to pause, create & reconnect

MINDFUL PAUSE

Mindfulness, Yin & Sound Bath

MINDFUL PLAY

Mindfulness
& Creative Pottery

MINDFUL HEART

Live Music, Compassion
& Reflective Journaling

Mindful Pause

Mindfulness · Guided meditation · Immersive sound

Mindful Pause offers time to pause, breathe, and listen. Through guided mindfulness, meditation, and an immersive sound bath, you’re invited to reconnect with your breath, body, mind, and heart.

A gentle gathering where you can sit or lie down, rest, and allow yourself to be present and receive.

Mindful Play

Mindful making · Pottery · Creative expression

Working with clay invites us to pay attention differently, to texture, movement, and the shape taking form in our hands. Mindful Play brings mindfulness and pottery together, engaging our senses and opening space for curiosity and creative expression.

Each gathering offers a different theme and invitation as you create a meaningful, unique piece of your own. Your ceramic piece is then professionally fired and glazed, ready for you to collect and take home as a symbolic reminder of the time you gave yourself.

Mindful Heart

Live music · Compassion inquiry · Reflective journaling

Sometimes the person we are hardest on is ourselves.

We strive, overthink, compare, and keep going, often believing we need to be more before we are enough. Mindful Heart is an invitation to pause that inner critic and dialogue. In collaboration with an HCPC-registered music therapist, this is a live music journey that weaves together guided compassion meditation, heartful melodies and harmonies, and reflective stream-of-consciousness writing. Shared in a small circle gathering, it offers a gentle space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and cultivate greater self-compassion.

The heart behind TunedInHeart

I’m Sandy, the founder of TunedInHeart, a community initiative based in London. Since 2022, I’ve been offering guided meditation and sound baths at Oxford House, creating space for people to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and come together in community. Since then, Mindful Pause has grown to include Mindful Play and Mindful Heart, with workshops hosted in collaboration with thoughtfully chosen venue partners across London. I trained as a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and am an alumna of Stanford University’s Centre for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE), where I continue to deepen my compassion-inquiry practice through the Compassion Lab.

My work brings together mindfulness, sound, and creative making through the lens of self-compassion. At the heart of these gatherings is a wish to offer a nourishing, soothing experience where you can come as you are, meet yourself with kindness, and explore what feels meaningful to you.
