THE EXTRA LAYER YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED

WITH ITS SUSTAINABLE, FASHIONABLE AND FUNCTIONAL DESIGN, THE SITTINGSUIT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE FOR YOUR OUTDOOR LIFE.

The Sittingsuit is the extra layer that keeps you warm on chilly days and a sustainable add-on to your outdoor life.

The wind proof and water-repellent fabrics and padding will make sure to protect you from almost any weather and temperature. Perfect for al fresco socialising, dining, camping and more. It is big enough for you to wear over your coat, as an extra layer when necessary.

It covers your legs down to your ankles, and furthermore has practical side openings, for you to reach into your bags and pockets underneath. Relax and enjoy unparalleled comfort and “Original Danish Hygge”.

Sittingsuits was founded on a passion for providing sustainable and comfortable warmth in outdoor settings. Rebecca Johansen and Vibe Johansson, the company's co-founders, joined forces to create a unique product that caters to various industries and empowers businesses to maximize their outdoor spaces.

Johansen, a seasoned restaurateur with over 16 years of experience, sought an alternative to blankets and outdoor heaters for her guests at Axelhus & Axelbar in Elsinore, Denmark. With 450 outdoor seats combined, she needed a solution to keep patrons warm and comfortable in all weather conditions. Inspired by her observations of people enjoying long hours outdoors in cold weather, Johansen decided to develop a product that would benefit both her own businesses and the industry as a whole.

Designer Johansson shared Johansen's vision of creating sustainable and comfortable outerwear. Together, they developed the Sittingsuits concept, carefully testing and refining the 1 design for maximum warmth, comfort, and durability. The duo launched Sittingsuits in Johansen's restaurants in 2019 and soon expanded to serve a wider audience.

The company strives to continuously improve its products, exploring new materials and designs that enhance the

outdoor experience while minimising environmental impact. They collaborate closely with brands, businesses, and talented artists to develop unique designs that represent both their style and the Sittingsuits brand. Once you have tried the Sittingsuit you will wonder how you ever lived without it. 

You can find a selection of Sittingsuits at Harriet & Rose, 71 King Street

JARO ART GALLERY PRESENTS….

‘OCEANA’

with Nicholas Romeril & Chistabelle Jégard

AUTUMN SHOW OPENING PREVIEW

FRIDAY 18TH OCTOBER 2024 / 5:30PM-7:30PM | INCLUDES LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM TOM ROLLS

OPEN FOR DAILY VIEWINGS FROM SATURDAY 19TH OCTOBER - SATURDAY 9TH NOVEMBER 2024

NO 1 YORK STREET - ST HELIER - JERSEY - CHANNEL ISLANDS | OPEN TUES - SAT / 10AM - 3PM

JARO Art Gallery is delighted to present "OCEANA," the latest collection by internationally acclaimed artist Nicholas Romeril. Known for his evocative portrayals of remote and extreme environments, Romeril’s work offers a profound reflection on the beauty and fragility of the natural world, with a focus on conservation. Over the course of his thirty-year career, his art has been exhibited widely across Europe and beyond, cementing his status as a leading voice in environmental art.

A defining moment in Romeril’s recent work occurred in January 2023, when he spent four weeks on North Island in the Seychelles as the artist in residence for Wildlife ACT, a South African-based conservation NGO. This privately owned island is home to a long-established conservation project focused on monitoring Hawksbill and Green turtle hatchings, recording sea waste, eradicating invasive species, and nurturing the giant tortoise population. Inspired by this unique environment, Romeril created a series of abstract paintings that explore the sensation of swimming underwater. His new work captures the intricate patterns of light as it filters through the ocean’s depths, creating what he describes as "submarine vistas that explore the filtered lacework of light that dances upon the seabed."

JARO Art Gallery is thrilled to announce the debut exhibition of Christabelle Jégard alongside the latest works of Nicholas Romeril. A recent graduate of Aberystwyth University with a degree in fine art and art history, Christabelle Jégard has rapidly made a name for herself with her distinctive, vibrant style. Her art draws inspiration from the German Expressionists and iconic figures like Matisse, Picasso, and Gauguin, creating a compelling fusion of historical influence and personal vision. Christabelle’s debut at JARO will feature a series of striking seascapes that reflect her deep connection to the ocean. Growing up on the island, she spent countless hours exploring its beaches, envisioning herself as Robinson Crusoe. This intimate bond with the sea is evident in her work, where she employs bold, harmonious colours to evoke the emotive power of the ocean. She likens her use of colour to musical notes, with each hue carefully chosen to create a specific emotional resonance. For her first exhibition at JARO, Christabelle Jégard presents a captivating new series of artworks that showcase her signature bold use of colour and profound connection to island life. Her paintings capture the beauty and raw energy of the ocean, offering a fresh perspective that complements Nicholas Romeril’s abstract submarine vistas. Together, their works create a dialogue between two artists united by their love of the sea, inviting viewers to explore the deep emotional and environmental themes embedded in their art.

CREATIVES

OLIVER DORAN

Born and raised in Jersey to a Jersey father and French mother, Oliver didn’t initially plan to become a photographer.

My early years were spent in the family hospitality business, helping to run The Revere Hotel and Doran’s Bistro. So, if you ever need tips on setting the perfect table or finding the best wine pairing, I’ve got you covered. But deep down, I always knew my passion was somewhere else - behind the camera.

In 2008, I took a leap (or maybe a dive headfirst) and moved to Dubai to pursue photography full-time. For the next 12 years, I was lucky enough to work with some of the world’s most iconic brands, like Emirates, Cartier, Dior, and Paramount. It was an exhilarating time, filled with large-scale commercial projects and editorial campaigns for Vogue Men, GQ, Esquire, and Cosmopolitan. Along the way, I also had the privilege of photographing celebrities like Robert De Niro, Lewis Hamilton, Bella Hadid, Colin Firth, and Sir Ben Kingsley. (Spoiler alert: none of them asked for a table at Doran’s Bistro.)

Life in Dubai was fast-paced and exciting, but like many others, my business was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, I made the decision to return home to Jersey. This time, I wasn’t alone I came back with my girlfriend, Anilu, a talented fashion stylist from Mexico and France. Jersey felt like home again - albeit a home undergoing a global lockdown!

Anilu and I got married in 2024, and together we launched a portrait studio. Moving from the world of high-fashion and corporate campaigns to capturing personal, intimate moments through portraiture was a big shift, but a deeply rewarding one. There’s something uniquely special about working with individuals and families, creating images that will hang on their walls and become part of their legacy

While I continue to take on select commercial work internationally, including for brands like Cartier and Dior, my heart is now in portrait photography here in Jersey. Who knew that my journey would take me halfway around the world, only to bring me right back to where I startedwith a whole new perspective?

DAMIAN PHILPOTT

Damian, a hairdresser based in Elmina, is well-known for his distinctive work with celebrities and models, spanning TV, fashion shows, and ad campaigns. His signature colour is black, reflecting a complex and possibly troubled psyche beneath his creative surface.

Recently, I’ve established a strong network with creatives in Jersey, notably Oliver Doran, Sophie Oswald, and Kate Morrison. These connections have become essential to my process, as we exchange ideas and draw inspiration from our surroundings and experiences, turning them into something new and original.

Many of my clients trust me with full creative freedom. I believe true innovation in styling only comes when the client is open to experimentation. If you’re after standard GHD curls, I’m not the person for you—that’s mere replication, not creation. I view my work as a collaboration with the client, crafting a look that is uniquely theirs.

Working with people like Sophie, Oliver, and Kate constantly sparks fresh ideas. During one conversation, we revisited Alexander McQueen’s iconic No. 13 finale, where robots spray-painted a dress. That led to our current project. While McQueen used machines, we opted for a more tactile approach, involving five artists and our editor, Sophie, to handcraft a dress. Collaboration became the pulse of the entire project. The team came together naturally—Kelly, who contributed to a previous cover, introduced Emilie; I brought in Fliq, who tattooed my cutthroats with the words "hope" and "fear" without letting me see the design first, per my request; and Sophie introduced Abi. Lindsay Rutter, someone I already wanted to work with, also joined us.

For the hair, I wanted something that looked both creative and DIY, as if the model had styled it herself. I left pins, grips, and even parts of the wig exposed. After putting out a call for wigs on Instagram, my friend Piper donated three. I broke down two of them, used four hair donuts to create height, and then pinned the pieces back together to achieve the look.

The most important part of the project was the energy in the room. We brought together nine people who wouldn't usually cross paths, yet it felt like an intimate reunion. Each person contributed something vital to the final vision, and it was inspiring to watch how each artist admired the work of others, and zero egos in the studio. Our model, Ingrid stood like a goddess in a paper dress, confidently embracing her unconventional hair, makeup, and nails. She embodied the spirit of curiosity, and unbridled creativity that we aimed to capture.

KATE MORRISON

From a young age, Kate Morrison’s fascination with makeup illuminated her path. Seated before the mirror, she eagerly experimented with colours and contours, her face serving as a canvas for her imaginative creations.

At just 13 years old, I took on the task of doing my mother’s makeup for her second wedding - it was a pivotal moment, foreshadowing a future dedicated to the art of beauty.

When it came time to pursue higher education, my passion led me to the Blanche Macdonald Centre in Vancouver, BC, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in makeup. Fuelled by a desire to make my mark in the fashion industry, I relocated to Toronto at the age of 21. There, I worked at Holt Renfrew, Canada’s renowned luxury retailer, as a representative at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.

My journey then took me back to Vancouver, where I freelanced briefly before embarking on an Australian adventure. As a travelling artist for Bobbi Brown, I supported national artists at in-store events and high-profile gatherings such as the Melbourne Cup. My talent and dedication paved the way for a stint at Harrods in London, England, where I continued to represent the prestigious brand.

In 2012, I took on a new challenge with MAC in Toronto, which was soon followed by an exciting move to the Cayman Islands. Joining the creative team at Rock Gorgeous, I frequently collaborated on fashion shows and photoshoots, seamlessly blending my skills with the vibrant island culture.

By 2015, my husband and I found ourselves in Jersey, where I rejoined MAC Cosmetics. After four successful years with the brand, the Covid-19 pandemic prompted me to diversify my skill set. I added HD brows and LVL lashes to my repertoire and launched my own venture, Kate Morrison Makeup Artistry.

Today, I am dedicated to providing bespoke bridal services, ensuring that each bride’s experience and makeup are tailored beautifully. My expertise extends to creating impeccable brows and lash lifts, enhancing everyday beauty for my clients.

LINDSAY RUTTER

After spending 12 years in the corporate world, Lindsay decided to follow her passion and pursue a degree in design, specialising in ceramics.

This allowed me to fully immerse myself in the world of art, and since then, I’ve been fortunate to exhibit my work in locations such as the CCA gallery, the Jersey Museum, and Capital House. I'm also actively involved in an artist collective, working on an exciting 18-month project that has allowed me to collaborate with fellow creatives, constantly pushing my boundaries as an artist. My current work will be showcased in Vienna this November, and I’m thrilled to have another exhibition lined up with the collective for autumn 2025.

While art remains my core passion, earlier this year I decided to retrain as a nail technician to help fund my ongoing art projects. This new skill has also provided the flexibility I need to attend residencies and take part in various shows without the constraints of a traditional job. I discovered that doing nails, particularly nail art, not only supports my creative endeavours but also allows me to express myself in a different medium. It’s been a refreshing way to blend art with practicality. My focus as a nail technician is on natural nails. I’m particularly passionate about using BIAB (Builder in a Bottle), a structured builder gel that helps clients grow and protect their natural nails. I love creating unique and playful designs for my clients, turning each session into a miniature art project. Nail art gives me the chance to combine my artistic eye with technical precision, which I find deeply satisfying. It’s been a joy to see how something as simple as nail design can bring people so much happiness, and it offers me a new way to make a living while continuing to pursue my artistic goals

KELLY SWANI

Originally trained in Jewellery and Silver Smithing at Birmingham’s School of Jewellery, Kelly Jenner Swani worked as a bespoke jewellery designer for 10 years in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.

In 2019 I developed Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a dysfunction in how the nervous system sends signals to the brain. This generally unheard-of condition is something I am trying to raise awareness for so that essential care pathways are set up to enable people with this condition to get access to the health services they need. I stumbled across paper flower making whilst in hospital and started making soon after as form of art therapy. Not dissimilar to jewellery making, this helped me to feel grounded.

Having always loved nature, this allowed me to capture natures fleeting moments and the memories of the feelings evoked by those moments in a three dimensional and sustainable lasting form. Unable to leave my home for three years, it also allowed me to feel connected to a world I so badly wanted to be a part of again. I became fascinated with the fine detail of natural forms which became a great source of inspiration. After eventually receiving 6 months of rehabilitation, I moved to Jersey with my family in early 2023 which has allowed me to continue my rehabilitation and focus on my artwork.

I spend a lot of time researching and photographing wildlife throughout the year and discovering the beauty in both life and death. The more I learn about nature the more fascinated I become, and have realised it’s not just the plants that are so important but the whole ecosystem so I am focusing on adding more elements to my work such as lichen, mushrooms, insects and birds which I hope brings more life to my work and reflect these essential and delicate habitats. I use salvaged objects and natural materials combined with wires and crepe paper, which are cut, dyed, painted and coloured by hand to create realistic botanical sculptures and wall art alongside more abstract pieces inspired by the Jersey landscapes. Each piece offers an invitation to discover something new by looking closer and, in doing so, to pause and reconnect, which I think is so important and I hope my work inspires others to do so.

Since moving to Jersey, I have been amazed by the welcoming nature of the people here, and already feel part of the incredible artistic community here. I have taken part in exhibitions both in Jersey and the UK and I am currently working on a collective pop-up exhibition with Arthouse Jersey in Jan 2025.

ABI OVERLAND

Abi graduated from the University of Brighton with a BA (Hons) in illustration in 2014, and has spent the last decade creating a body of work, merging the worlds of fine art and illustration with meticulous dot-work and line-work techniques. My work is focused on surreal and otherworldly dreamscapes, which invite the viewer to lose themselves in a realm of aesthetic joy. I started my business selling art prints of my work because I believe that art should be accessible to all. I didn't want to limit the joy of my art to those who could afford original pieces. Also, maybe a somewhat more self-indulgent reason is that I'm not very good at following orders, and this seemed to be a good way of being able to create the work that I want to put out there.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to achieve significant milestones. I was nominated as Tastemaker of the Year at the Jersey Style Awards, illustrated the front cover of Penguin Roundhouse's The Zoo by Isobel Charman, and had my work featured in Red Roaster in Brighton. My mural there was recognized by The New York Times as one of the top 100 places to visit in Europe. I've also been featured in prestigious publications such as Vogue UK, Elle Decoration NL, House Beautiful online, and Glamour Magazine online.

Most recently, I opened my first exhibition at JARO Gallery, where, for the first time, I have made my original hand-drawn illustrations available to purchase. I named the exhibition 'IMpractical' to reclaim the term that I have often been referred to throughout my life and to show the absolute joy that can come out of being an impractical person and that art itself can be seen as inherently impractical whilst at the same time being a vital part of life, joy. It's a calling to embrace the absurdity and joy of being an impractical person and show what results can come from being so.

EMILIE KNIGHT

Emilie began her artistic journey with a Foundation Year in Art and Design at Plymouth College of Art, followed by a BA (Hons) Fine Art degree from the University of Plymouth.

In the early stages of my career, I displayed my work in cafes and restaurants around Totnes, leading to my first formal exhibition in Falmouth. After relocating to Jersey in 2016, I represented Jersey at the Forum des Arts in St. Malo in 2017 and exhibited at the Harbour Gallery, as well as in local restaurants.

Following a challenging hiatus that led to burnout, I returned to my studio in November 2023, using painting as a means of exploring the healing process. An autism diagnosis in January 2024 brought new insights and depth to my work as I continue my introspective exploration of the human condition. Painting exclusively with my hands and feet, I am intrinsically connected to my mark making and love to explore colour and aesthetics alongside the subliminal.

I am currently developing a new series after a successful first solo show at JARO Gallery. I’m also working towards an exhibition at ArtHouse Jersey where I’m excited to be exhibiting alongside Kelly Swani and Mick Humpage. My work is currently centred around my recent autism diagnosis and exploring the neurodivergent brain; retrospection features heavily alongside introspection as I unpick my personal experience and delve into my human condition.

Alongside my personal practice, I have been holding abstract painting workshops at JARO Gallery. They offer an opportunity to learn about abstract expressionism, delve into your subconscious and explore your intrinsic mark making. The aim of these workshops is not to leave with a beautiful piece of art, but to use the time and space to tap into your subconscious and enjoy the experience.

I have absolutely loved connecting with other creatives as part of this process. It’s inspiring to be surrounded by talented people championing each other.

I am also a member of the Autism Advisory Council for Autism Jersey and actively seek out opportunities to connect, support and work with individuals, local businesses and communities.

FLIQUET RENOUF

Fliquet is a renowned local tattoo artist, celebrated for her progressive contributions to the body art community and for pioneering a welcoming and approachable environment within the Jersey tattoo scene.

After initially starting my career as an illustrator, I made the transition into tattooing fourteen years ago, drawn to the idea of collaborating face to face with clients and producing art alongside other like-minded creatives. I began my tattoo apprenticeship in the UK at the age of seventeen and later returned to Jersey to open 'Stained Tattoo Co'. I wanted to bring together a variety of local talent to host flash days, charity events and public projects. After ten successful years in St Helier, I now work from 'Unit 3 Tattoo' in Five Oaks, offering a more private tattooing experience.

I am best known for tattooing in a blackwork illustrative style and the thematic elements of flora and fauna that have become a signature of my portfolio. I draw inspiration from the resilience of nature and have a deep appreciation of the weird and wonderful, enjoying work that is intricate yet infused with a grungey, dark aesthetic. I am incredibly fortunate that my art has allowed me to travel and connect with other tattoo studios internationally and exhibition at tattoo conventions throughout the UK and Europe.

With being a part of Jersey's cultural scene, I have spent much of my career supporting and collaborating with other artists, both from within the tattoo industry and other creative fields. Connection is still very much at the heart of what I do so I was grateful to have been welcomed onto this project and to work alongside such inspiring innovators.

I have known Damian for around ten years now and have collaborated with him on a tattoo project that he still wears to this day. When he reached out to me about working on the creative issue for Manner Magazine I was eager to contribute and be featured with both Abi and Lindsay who I know and admire, and to be introduced to Kelly, Kate, Emilie and the beautiful Ingrid who wore our art so flawlessly. It was a pleasure to meet Sophie who brought together this creative vision and to work with Oliver for the first time in his studio which became alive with the creative buzz of artists working together.

SKIN BOOSTERS REGENERATING YOUR SKIN FROM WITHIN

SKIN BOOSTERS DELIVER A BLEND OF INGREDIENTS DIRECTLY INTO THE SKIN TO IMPROVE SKIN HYDRATION, ELASTICITY, AND TEXTURE.

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality and hydration. They are often used to enhance the overall appearance and texture of the skin by targeting issues like dryness, fine lines, and dullness.

Skin boosters deliver a blend of ingredients directly into the skin - usually hyaluronic acid (HA) or other hydrating and rejuvenating substances. Their primary goal is to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and texture, resulting in a more youthful and radiant appearance.

COMMON INGREDIENTS IN SKIN BOOSTERS:

Hyaluronic Acid (HA): A naturally occurring substance in the skin known for its ability to retain moisture. When injected, HA helps to hydrate the skin from within, improving its texture and elasticity.

Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN): A substance derived from salmon DNA that can promote skin regeneration and repair. It's often included in skin boosters to enhance skin rejuvenation. Vitamins and Amino Acids: Some skin boosters contain vitamins (like Vitamin C or E) and amino acids that contribute to skin health and support collagen production.

NEWEST is the first product in the UK with a unique formula containing Polynucleotides - HPT and hyaluronic acid, which work together to improve skin hydration and elasticity to restore a youthful glow.

As we age, collagen production declines, which is why our skin gets saggy and wrinkled. When we inject NEWEST into the skin, it reaches cells called fibroblasts. These cells

are responsible for the formation of connective tissue through their ability to produce collagen, which helps maintain the skin's firm structure. Patients often see skin texture, hydration, and elasticity improvements after a series of treatments. The results can vary based on the specific product used and the individual's skin condition.

A series of treatments is recommended, with sessions spaced several weeks apart. Each session usually takes 30 to 45 minutes after the topical cream is applied for patient comfort. Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites.

In summary, skin boosters are a popular non-surgical option for improving skin quality and achieving a youthful appearance by enhancing hydration and texture through targeted injections. 

REIKI: RESTORING BALANCE & HARMONY

REIKI

MASTER, CLAIRE BRADBURY TALKS ABOUT THE ANCIENT HEALING ART OF REIKI.

In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, many people are turning to ancient healing practices to restore balance, peace, and a sense of well-being. Among these, Reiki stands out as a gentle yet powerful modality that addresses the mind, body, and soul. Originating from Japan, Reiki is a hands-on healing technique that not only reduces stress and promotes relaxation but also supports healing on multiple levels. In essence, Reiki is about restoring harmony, gently removing that which no longer serves us.

WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki, pronounced “ray-key,” is derived from two Japanese words: "Rei," meaning "higher power" or "spiritual wisdom," and "Ki," which translates to "life force energy." Together,

Reiki means “spiritually guided life force energy.” This life force energy flows through all living things and is believed to be the essence that sustains life. When our life force energy is low, we are more susceptible to illness, stress, and emotional disturbances. Conversely, when this energy is high, we experience vitality, health, and a deep sense of peace. Reiki practitioners serve as channels through which this universal life force energy flows. By placing their hands on or near the body, practitioners help guide this energy, facilitating the healing process. Unlike some forms of handson modalities, Reiki does not involve physical manipulation or the use of substances. Instead, it works on the subtle energetic layers that surround and permeate the physical body, addressing imbalances at their root.

"IT WORKS ON THE SUBTLE ENERGETIC LAYERS THAT SURROUND THE PHYSICAL BODY, ADDRESSING IMBALANCES AT THEIR ROOT."

THE EXPERIENCE OF A REIKI SESSION

A Reiki session typically takes place in a calm, serene environment, often accompanied by soft music and dim lighting. The recipient lies fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above various parts of the body, allowing the energy to flow where it is needed most. Many describe the experience as a warm, glowing sensation that radiates throughout their body, promoting relaxation and a sense of wellbeing.

Each person’s experience with Reiki is unique, but common sensations include feelings of deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, or a sense of lightness. Some people may even see colours, feel emotional releases, or enter a meditative state. Regardless of the specific experience, the underlying effect is the same: Reiki creates a space for the mind, body, and spirit to come back into alignment.

INTEGRATING REIKI INTO MODERN LIFE

While Reiki is a spiritual practice, it complements conventional medical and therapeutic treatments. Many hospitals, wellness centres, and clinics worldwide now offer Reiki as a supportive therapy to enhance patient care. Reiki is not meant to replace medical treatments but to work alongside them, providing an additional layer of support for the healing process

In a world that often pulls us in many directions at once, Reiki serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of self-care, balance, and connection to a higher power. It helps us to let go of what no longer serves us, making space for health, happiness, and harmony to flourish. Whether you are seeking relief from stress, pain, or simply wish to reconnect with your inner self, Reiki offers a path toward healing that is as profound as it is gentle.

HOLISTIC BENEFITS OF REIKI

Reduces Anxiety

One of the most well-documented benefits of Reiki is its ability to reduce anxiety. By calming the nervous system, Reiki helps ease the racing thoughts and tension that accompany anxiety.

Improves Sleep

Many individuals report that Reiki helps them achieve deeper and more restorative sleep. This is likely due to the relaxation response triggered by the practice, which promotes a sense of safety and calm that is conducive to restful sleep.

Assists with Pain Management

Reiki has been shown to alleviate pain, whether it's from chronic conditions, injuries, or emotional trauma. By addressing the energetic imbalances, Reiki helps reduce pain and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes.

Encourages Mental Clarity

Reiki promotes mental clarity by reducing mental clutter and allowing for a more focused, grounded state of mind.

Liberates Blocked and Suppressed Emotions

Emotional blockages can manifest in the body as pain, illness, or other symptoms. Reiki facilitates the release of these suppressed emotions, allowing for healing and emotional liberation.

Alleviates Depression

Reiki’s gentle energy can help to lift the heavy cloud of depression by re-energising the mind and body.

Heightens Self-Awareness and Intuition

As a spiritual practice, Reiki can enhance one’s intuition and self-awareness, leading to greater insight into life’s challenges.

Strengthens the Immune System

By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, Reiki helps to support and strengthen the immune system, making the body more resilient to illness.

Removes Toxins

Reiki encourages the body’s natural detoxification processes, helping to clear out energetic and physical toxins.

Treats Symptoms and Causes of Illness

Reiki works on an energetic level to address both the symptoms and root causes of illness.

CURIOUS MINDS, BOLD DESIRES

THE TOPIC OF SEX HAS OFTEN BEEN SHROUDED IN MYSTERY, TABOO, AND EVEN SHAME. BUT WHY IS IT THAT WE'RE SO HESITANT TO OPENLY DISCUSS AND EXPLORE OUR SEXUALITY?

We've been conditioned to believe that certain sexual behaviours are "acceptable" while others are "wrong" or "immoral." Much of our prudishness can be traced back to cultural and religious influences. For centuries, societies have imposed strict rules and taboos around sex, often to maintain societal order and moral standards. These beliefs have been passed down through generations, shaping our attitudes and behaviours. Another reason for our shyness is the fear of judgment. We may worry that if we express our desires or engage in certain sexual behaviours, we'll be seen as immoral, promiscuous, or even deviant. This fear can lead to feelings of shame and guilt, making it difficult to openly discuss our sexuality.

One of the most significant barriers to open and honest conversations about sex is a lack of education. Many people simply don't have the knowledge or understanding to make informed decisions about their sexual health and relationships. This can lead to misconceptions, misunderstandings, and ultimately, prudishness.

THE IMPORTANCE OF OPENNESS

It's time to challenge our cultural conditioning and embrace a more open and accepting attitude towards sex. By discussing desires, exploring new things, and being honest with our partners, we can create healthier relationships.

TALK OPENLY WITH YOUR PARTNER: Communication is key to a healthy sexual relationship. Share your desires, fears, and concerns without judgment.

EDUCATE YOURSELF: Learn about sexual health, different sexual orientations, and various sexual practices. Knowledge is power.

CHALLENGE YOUR OWN BELIEFS:

Question the cultural and religious messages you've been exposed to. Are they really accurate and helpful?

TRY NEW THINGS: Don't be afraid to experiment and explore new sexual experiences with your partner. There's a world of possibilities beyond the missionary position.

RESPECT YOUR BOUNDARIES: Always communicate your boundaries clearly and respect your partner's boundaries.

By embracing openness and acceptance, we can create a more inclusive and empowering sexual culture for all. Let's break down the barriers of stigma and shame, and celebrate the diversity of human sexuality.

CHAMPION A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP

LUXURY HOTEL PARTNERS WITH SLEEP SPECIALIST TO CHAMPION A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP

Local luxury hotel Longueville Manor is offering islanders and visiting guests alike a unique experience to raise awareness and support healthy sleep.

By partnering with local registered Psychotherapist and Sleep Specialist Lydia Falle, they are hoping that those taking part in the ‘Sleep Easy’ experience will learn more about their sleep patterns, healthy sleep practice, and get the chance to reset and reinforce positive sleeping habits. All the sleep support will be based on the latest understandings in neuroscience, psychology and evidenced-based tools and techniques, including CBT-I.

Lydia, who is based in Jersey, uses a human needsbased approach to working with sleep difficulties, has a Masters in Psychological Research Methods and has further training in CBT-I from the University of Oxford’s Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Institute. CBT-I is the first line of treatment recommended by many international clinical guidelines, including NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).

Lydia’s fascination with sleep grew from seeing many presentations of various sleep disturbances in her work as the resident Psychotherapist for Jersey Women's Health Hub and she subsequently founded The Sleep Clinic, a dedicated service to help people find restful sleep without medication.

Longueville Manor are delighted to offer their hotel as the partnership destination for the Sleep Easy experience, running October 2024 to March 2025 and have created a special 2-night package for those taking part. This includes accommodation in a Deluxe Garden View room, a full English breakfast each morning, three-course ‘A la carte’ dining each evening and of course a full consultation with Lydia on the first day, plus later follow up, to help educate and maximise positive sleep habits.

The Sleep Easy experience also includes 2 one-hour spa treatments to encourage complete body and mind relaxation, and a selection of complimentary wellness-based treats and gifts to enjoy, from luxury pampering products to special sleep teas.

Longueville Manor owner Malcolm Lewis said “The importance of a good night’s sleep can never be underestimated, and we’re excited to partner with Lydia Falle on the Sleep Easy experience. We want to help people understand what it takes to create proper and meaningful healthy sleep habits. Lydia’s years of expertise and skills in this area, paired with the calm and beautiful surroundings of Longueville Manor, make this the perfect opportunity to give yourself a bit of a reset and prioritise good health.” 

STHE GREAT SOLAR GIVEAWAY THE GREAT SOLAR GIVEAWAY

SUNWORKS CELEBRATES COMPLETION OF £10,000 SOLAR PANEL GIVEAWAY

unWorks, Jersey’s leading provider of sustainable energy solutions, launched its first ever solar giveaway earlier this year. The business was looking for something meaningful and unique that could provide community benefit as well as promote renewable energy. The Great Solar Giveaway received many applications from local social enterprises, but it was The Sustainable Cooperative (SCOOP) who the public chose as the winners of the £10,000 solar installation, which was completed last week.

SunWorks was keen to enable SCOOP to start reaping the benefits of solar energy as soon as possible, helping them to continue their amazing work with the advantage of a sustainable power source. The system will produce over 5,000 units of electricity annually, amounting to yearly savings of over £1,000, an amount which would increase as energy prices rise.

Kaspar Wimberley, Co-Founder of The Sustainable Cooperative, shared the non-profit organisation’s delight at being the first winners of the Great Solar Giveaway: “We are super excited and a big thank you to the SunWorks team for creating this opportunity. Thanks to everyone that voted for us and allowing this to happen. This not only helps us today, but significantly protects us for the future against rising energy prices”.

On Friday 6th September, volunteers from SunWorks joined the team at SCOOP for a collaborative installation and handover of the solar panel system. Mark Brandon, Director of SunWorks, reflected on the day’s success: “It was a day filled with teamwork, great conversations, and celebration.

The energy and excitement today have set the tone for even bigger and better things to come next year. Let’s keep the momentum going! I would also like to say a huge thank you to the other three shortlisted entries as well – the votes were incredibly close with 750 votes cast”.

SunWorks recognise that rising energy prices and less consistent funding can be a real barrier to achieving an organisation’s aims and objectives and hopes the Great Solar Giveaway will be the first of a yearly initiative. To expand on this effort and make this annual giveaway even more meaningful, SunWorks is seeking a future sponsor and wants to encourage companies to get in touch to find out how they can support this unique local initiative. 

GET CREATIVE

"As the seasons change and we all spend a little more time indoors, show off some of your creative culinary impulses by making delicious edible treats like sable biscuits, which are great for Halloween or Christmas. If you're vegan, my handmade chocolate truffles are a real treat or a great gift. Finally, let your imagination run wild with sweetieflavoured vodkas."

SABLE BISCUITS

INGREDIENTS

275g Plain Flour, sifted

100g Jersey Butter, at room temperature

100g Golden Caster Sugar

1 free-range Egg

2 tsp Vanilla Essence

TO DECORATE

400g Icing Sugar, sifted

3 tbsp fresh squeezed Lemon juice

Food Colourings

Edible Glitter

Edible Cake Decorations

METHOD

1. Preheat your oven to 190C, and line a baking tray with baking parchment.

2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Whisk the egg, vanilla seeds and almond essence together and beat a little at a time into the creamed butter and sugar until thoroughly mixed. Fold in the flour until the mixture comes together as a dough.

3. Sprinkle flour on a work surface, and carefully roll out the biscuit dough to about 1cm thick. Cut the biscuits

using cutter shapes of your choice and carefully place them on the baking tray.

4. Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes, transfer to a wire rack.

5. Mix the icing sugar in a large bowl with sufficient lemon juice to make a smooth, thick icing. At this stage, you can stir in the food colouring.

6. Using a small knife, carefully spread the icing onto the biscuits and sprinkle over the decorations. Set to one side and leave until the icing hardens.

SWEETIE FLAVOURED VODKA

INGREDIENTS

You don't need to use a high-quality vodka, just a brand you are happy to drink. Don't use a flavoured variety because the sweetie flavouring will overpower any subtle flavours in the vodka. Some sweets will dissolve entirely; however, you might need to strain some through a fine metal strainer. You can experiment with different sweets, but I have tried Rhubarb and Custard Sweets, Toffees, Humbugs, Pear Drops, and Turkish Delight. Allow around 100 -150g Sweeties for each 75cl bottle of vodka.

METHOD

Tip the sweets into a large, clean glass jar, fill it with the vodka and seal it with a lid. Leave to infuse for at least forty-eight hours, preferably a week. Shake every day. Transfer back to the bottle and store in the fridge until serving.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

INGREDIENTS

300g Dark Chocolate Drops

170ml Unsweetened Oat or Soya Milk

50g Vegan Cocoa Powder

2 tsp of vegan-friendly flavourings (Orange, Vanilla or Caramel)

METHOD

1. Gently heat the milk with any flavourings until hot and steaming, but not boiling.

2. Put the chocolate drops in a heat-proof bowl and pour over the hot milk. Cover with a plate and leave for a few minutes until the chocolate melts. Whisk the milk and chocolate together until smooth.

3. Transfer the chocolate mix into a plastic container, seal with a lid, and place in the fridge to chill for at least four hours.

4. Place the cocoa powder in a shallow tray or bowl. Using a teaspoon, scoop some of the chocolate and quickly shape it before rolling it in the cocoa powder. You may want to wear thin latex gloves for this.

5. Place the truffles in jars or small boxes.
