This inspiring panel explores the courageous journeys of individuals who left conventional careers to follow a deeper calling in art and healing. Our speakers share how they transitioned into full-time creative practice, or combined their artistry with holistic therapies, blending personal expression with community healing.
Through their stories, we’ll hear how creativity and wellness intersect, offering both personal transformation and new ways of supporting others. Whether you’re an artist starting out, someone seeking change, or simply curious about the role of art in wellbeing, this discussion offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and the reminder that it is never too late to live a life of passion and purpose.

Over the last three decades, the world of health and wellness has shifted dramatically — from aerobics and gym culture in the 1990s, to yoga, holistic therapies, and the rise of mindfulness. This expert panel reflects on what we’ve gained, what we’ve lost, and what still matters most for wellbeing today.
At the centre of the discussion is the surge in GLP-1 weight-loss injections such as Ozempic and Wegovy. Are they a medical breakthrough, or do they undermine the long-term foundations of health? By contrasting past fitness movements with today’s pharmaceutical solutions, our panel will ask what the next 30 years of wellness should look like — and how we can build a future rooted in balance, resilience, and sustainable self-care.
2:00 PM
Over the last 30 years, spiritual practice has shifted from niche traditions into mainstream culture. Yoga, meditation, Reiki, crystals, and sound therapy are now widely recognised, while newer practices such as breathwork, shamanic healing, and plant medicine continue to rise.
This panel explores these changing spiritual trends, with a special focus on the future of energy medicine. As science begins to investigate frequency and resonance, we ask: could vibrational healing one day sit alongside conventional healthcare?
Our discussion will also highlight the importance of reconnecting with the Earth. From indigenous wisdom to ecological spirituality, the next chapter of wellness invites us to heal ourselves while also preserving the planet.
Born in Jamaica and descended from Maroons renowned for their heightened spiritual gifts, Bouabti Fahkara was raised in a rich clairvoyant community where he was exposed to Nature's abundance and taught the significance of herbs and their medicinal properties. From as young as five, Bouabti recognised his spiritual gifts, witnessing spirits and having visions. As a teenager he began to channel these gifts and eventually, with the prompting of Spirit, began training and developing his unique ability to directly connect with all the energies of existence. Keen to pass on these traditions, Bouabti has trained mediums through meditation groups and courses. He now offers meditation & spiritual development classes, tarot, clairvoyance, and earth energy readings, performs energy clearings, and aura readings, as he guides individuals towards harmonizing with their destiny and with Nature.

An established artist, Emma Tweedie’s artistic journey has gained recognition in the international art world, with her work shortlisted for a number of prestigious awards, and held in a number of private collections internationally. Emma’s semi-impressionistic landscapes offer a sensory dialogue on the elemental forces of land, sea, and sky. Rooted in spiritual sensibility, her work explores the subtle dialogue between nature and human consciousness—gently unearthing echoes of ancient wisdom, memory, and metaphysical energy embedded in the landscape. Positioned gracefully between soft abstraction and impressionism, her canvases invite quiet contemplation. At first glance, they whisper; on closer inspection, they reveal layered contradictions—technical precision softened by the application of fluid pigment, colour is added to, and subtracted from, structure dissolving into atmosphere.

She has exhibited widely in prestigious galleries including Watts Gallery and Hauser & Wirth. Her work has been acquired by several institutions; one work remains part of the Hastings Museum and Gallery Contemporary Art collection.

“My consultant was compassionate and very knowledgeable on the invisible illness I am dealing with; Lyme disease, chronic fatigue and Hashimotto. I feel blessed I could gain all this access from my home as I was too weak to travel. I am already feeling the benefits from the regime I was given by CCH Live. Very important. I have been ill for 34 years and there is so much information out there that it gets confusing. Great to have someone I can trust at long last.”
“I was suffering from low thyroid with symptoms of weight gain, brain fog and fatigue. I would some sometimes burst into tears out the blue for no reason as I felt so emotionally exhausted… I was advised easy to follow nutritional advice as well as emotional support and and lifestyle guidance. Her warmth, advice and support were incredible and I went from strength to strength. My energy levels soared and my Joie de Vivre returned. I am so grateful to CCHlive – I feel everyone could benefit from their expertise.”
“Sometimes the medical route is intimidating and can take a long time to get an appointment- the natural route offers me support often and quickly!”
“Jacqueline Harvey has a spiritual aura that radiates around her, infectiously enlivening all those in her presence. Her naturally calming benevolence defies her fun-loving vivacious character though this bubbles up in the form of joyous laughter at the slightest provocation. Her great gift is the insightful sense of wellness she inspires and her advice is always worth listening to.”
“My mental health was really important. With 50 people involved in the project, the bigger it got the more pressures emerged – it was becoming really stressful and overwhelming. Jacqueline helped me to cope with organising something on such a massive scale.”
“My eating habits were really bad and made worst by a very stressful work situation – I was being bullied by my boss. Jacqui helped me through this by working on my body and the self-doubt that raged in my mind. Eventually, I had the strength and courage to deal with the situation legally and I can’t tell you how much I appreciated her skills and care.”
“A really enjoyable day, interesting topics and knowledgeable speakers. Well put together event. Nice, quiet hotel with plenty of space and not too far from local transport. Well done Jacqui!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic event. It was inspiring, thought-provoking, and illuminating. It happened at just the right time in my year – coming into winter when I’m slowing down and being more reflective, thinking about what I want to achieve next year and how to go about it.”
“Such a great way to ease into space of events after long months of lockdown. Jacqueline is a true professional when it comes to hosting events. She made all the speakers and guests feel comfortable and included. Great content too, lots of interesting information and I loved that it was done in the interview style as it made speakers more relaxed and also to the point.”
