Peace Down To Scale Up: The emPOWER Breakfast at Reframe 2025

Exploring how energy awareness can support creativity, focus and wellbeing at work

The emPOWER Breakfast was proud to be part of Reframe 2025, a DEI and Wellbeing event hosted by the APA in partnership with the IPA, ISBA and the Advertising Association, held at Havas UK on Wednesday 29 October.

For this session, we introduced something new to the emPOWER community, a moment to pause in the midst of a busy, brilliant industry.

Our session, Peace Down To Scale Up, began with a short grounding exercise, inviting everyone to place a hand on their heart, breathe deeply and settle into the room. It was a collective moment of calm before the conversation began, helping the group to arrive, listen and connect with greater presence.

Led by emPOWER’s Athene Parker, we heard Bella Clark, Pranic Therapist, Wellbeing Facilitator and Healer, tell her story on her pivot to Pranic Therapist. The discussion explored the question of what energy really is and how it shapes our lives. We looked at the science behind the body’s electrical systems, the role of intuition and grounding and how our environments and relationships affect our personal energy levels.

Bella shared her  story, moving from a high-paced career in film, television and advertising to the world of pranic healing, and how her understanding of energy completely transformed her wellbeing, creativity and productivity. She explained that energy awareness is not specifically about spirituality, but about learning to regulate the nervous system and restore the body’s natural balance.

Attendees were introduced to simple practices to raise and protect their energy, exploring mindfulness and grounding to visualisation and meditation. The insights reminded us that our energy is not limitless; it is a resource that needs care, boundaries and attention.

If you would like to explore pranic healing and energy work in more depth, and how these tools can help you optimise your energy and focus at work, you can reach out to athene@theempowerbreakfast.co.uk.

Looking ahead to 2026, Bella will be hosting monthly meditation sessions both in person and virtually through The emPOWER Breakfast app, which launches next month. These sessions will offer a regular moment of stillness and reflection for our community, a space to recalibrate, reconnect and refocus.

Reframe 2025 reminded us how essential conversations around wellbeing, inclusion and humanity at work really are. It was an inspiring day, filled with thoughtful discussion, learning and connection.

Thank you to the APA, IPA, ISBA, Advertising Association and the Reframe team for creating such a great event, and to everyone who joined us for this very special session.
