Relationship expert and coach, Jan Day brings extraordinary warmth and compassion to her work. To her coaching clients. To her workshops on intimacy, sexuality and healing the inner you. To her one-day dating workshop where she enables participants to gently explore what they would like in their love relationships.

Central themes of Jan’s work are self-acceptance and self-forgiveness. Having trained for 15 years with Art of Being founder, Alan Lowen in Europe and Hawaii, as well as being a CTA certified coach, Jan has spent the last 15 years helping men and women learn to trust their own unique journeys and embrace their own wounds as well as their potential.

Her life and work have been influenced by a wide spectrum of eastern and western teachers including Osho, Jack Kornfield, David Deida, Ron Kurtz, Ken Wilber & Core Integral, Genpo Roshi, Ammachi, Anne Geraghty and many more.

Her work has evolved a distinct style known as "Jan Day Workshops", "School of Being" and "Living Tantra" and "Meetings without Masks".

Jan bring great joy to this endeavour of what it is to be human - all our vulnerabilities as well as our fun-loving traits – and encourages us to be everything, yes, everything that we are as human beings. She knows exactly how important it is, to be seen for everything that we are.

At the core of her work is her past experience. “I have been divorced and married,” she says. “I have known the darkness of depression, the despair of great loss and the joy of finding my way home again. Above all, I believe in the basic goodness of life and people. Sexual healing, self-acceptance, forgiveness and the all-embracing life acceptance of tantra have been and continue to be powerful tools in my life.

Jan is happily married and lives with her husband, Frieder, in Kent. She draws again and again upon this rich relationship to nurture and inform others. Both singles and couples. Jan is also unusual as a coach and workshop leader in that her work includes sexuality. Her gift is to enable participants to celebrate themselves as gorgeous sexual human beings.

A gentle yet expansive spirit pervades all the music of Mirabai Ceiba. The delicate sounds of harp, piano, and guitar blend with lovingly intertwined voices amid lush celestial soundscapes. Their concerts are group celebrations for peace—joyous and loving occasions that embody the duo's profound belief in music as a universal language uniting all the world's peoples, cultures and traditions.

Mirabai Ceiba is a duo consisting of guitarist/singer Markus Sieber and singer/harpist/pianist Angelika Baumbach. They come from different parts of the world. Markus is East German. Angelika was born in Tucson, Arizona, and grew up in a small village near Mexico City, the daughter of a Mexican mother and German father.

Together, Angelika and Markus have forged engaging new style of world devotional music blending Gurmukhi mantras from the Kundalini Yoga tradition with original songs in English and Spanish that reflect a Native American influence and also draw words of wisdom from Rumi, Thich Nhat Hanh, Guru Nanak and Yogi Bhajan. Through exquisitely crafted recordings like their CD A Hundred Blessings, Mirabai Ceiba weave a beguiling tapestry from these diverse influence and sources. And that's what the music feels like: a beneficent and abundant gift from the universe. In concert, they inspire all present to chant together in a spirit of compassionate love and Oneness.

Even the name Mirabai Ceiba embodies the influences of both India and Native Latin America. Mirabai (1498-1547) was a Hindu mystical singer. Her songs express the longing of the individual self to be one with the universal self, represented by Krishna. For Angelika and Markus, the name Mirabai "is the exploration, the devotion, the inspiration in all the different aspects of divinity."

And the Ceiba is a sacred tree of Latin America which is never cut and grows very tall. "We wish our music could be like the Ceiba tree," say Markus and Angelica, "with roots deep in Mother Earth and branches extending far and wide into Father Sky."
