Exhausted, with no time for you? — Reiki & Glow Open Door Wellbeing Day, Thursday 10 September
Reiki & Glow Thursday 10 September 2026 · Bolton · Free

Exhausted, and no time to think about your own wellbeing?

You're the one everybody else leans on. By seven o'clock there's nothing left of you — somewhere in all that, you came off your own list.

So here is one hour, on a Thursday, that asks nothing of you.

Somebody else holds the room.

Three sessions, 7 spaces each.

Sound familiar?

  • There's no hour in the week that belongs to you, and nowhere obvious to take one from.
  • You know something needs to change. You've known for a while. You just can't see the next step.
  • Taking time for yourself feels like something you'd have to justify to somebody.

One hour. That's the whole thing.

The Open Door Wellbeing Day is one free hour at The Wellsprings in Bolton. It starts on time and it finishes on time, so you can book the rest of your day around it.

One mark a minute, sixty in all. Twenty-five of them you spend sitting still with your eyes shut, and the last fifteen you spend holding a cup of tea.

  • 5 min · BreathworkSimple counted breathing in a chair, eyes shut if you like — and yours to use again at home.
  • 25 min · Reiki, seatedFully clothed, in a comfortable chair. Hands-on or hands-off, whichever you choose.
  • 10 min · Skincare regimeA three-step routine that survives a real morning, using natural Tropic products.
  • 15 min · Tea and coffeeA cup, a chair and no agenda. Stay and talk or take your coat — both normal.

Bharti

Bharti did twenty-six years of running on empty

Twenty-six years in primary schools, twelve of them as SENCo alongside a full class. She knows precisely what it looks like to hold everything together for everyone else and have nothing left for yourself — because she did it for a very long time before she stopped.

She left teaching in 2023. She qualified as a Reiki Master in May 2026 and has been a Tropic Skincare ambassador since 2024. She isn't going to tell you to leap, or hustle, or manifest anything.

"You've spent years looking after everyone else. Starting with yourself for an hour isn't selfish, and you don't have to have it all figured out first."

Three sessions, seven spaces each

Small on purpose. Seven people in the room means it stays quiet, and it means nobody has to perform. Pick the time that's easiest to disappear for, then book it on the right.

Morning Reset

09:30 – 10:30

Start the day feeling calm, clear and re-energised.

7 spaces

Afternoon Reset

12:30 – 13:30

Take a break, breathe deep and reset your mind and body.

7 spaces

Late Reset

15:00 – 16:00

Let go of the day and wind down with relaxation.

7 spaces

Each session is one hour exactly — five, five, twenty-five, ten and fifteen. It starts on time and it finishes on time, so you can book the rest of your day around it.

The things people ask before they book

I've never had reiki and I'm not sure I believe in it.+

That's most of the room. You don't need to believe anything for it to be a restful twenty-five minutes sitting quietly in a warm room. Come for the rest and make your own mind up about the rest of it.

Will I have to talk in front of everyone?+

No. There are no introductions and no going round the circle. You can arrive, do the whole session and leave without saying a word beyond hello.

Will I be touched? Do I have to take anything off?+

You stay fully clothed and in your chair throughout. Reiki works either hands-on — hands resting lightly and still on your shoulders or head — or hands-off, just above you. Bharti asks each person which they'd prefer before starting, and hands-off is a completely ordinary choice. Nothing happens that you haven't agreed to, and you can say stop at any point without explaining why.

It's free. What's the catch?+

There isn't one. No pitch, no presentation, no follow-up call you didn't ask for. Tropic products are there to look at during the skincare part. Most people try something, buy nothing, and that's a perfectly normal Thursday.

I genuinely don't have the time.+

It's one session, once, and there's nothing afterwards to keep up with. No homework, no app, no thirty-day plan. If one hour is impossible this month, that's probably worth noticing on its own.

I've booked things before and not followed through.+

You'll get one short message beforehand with where to park and where to go once you're inside — the practical things, so arriving isn't a decision you have to make twice. If something genuinely comes up, tell Bharti and the space goes to someone on the list rather than sitting empty. Nobody is keeping score.

Thursday 10 September. Twenty-one spaces, and then that's that.

Pick a session, put it in the calendar, and then don't think about it again until Thursday. That's the whole commitment, and it's free.
