Self-development & Therapies > WORKSHOPS > Spiritual Development

Of course many of the workshops can be used for spiritual development, especially Reiki, Sound, Scent and Colour, and the Flower Essences. However the workshops here are developed with specific goals in mind - all of them aimed at helping you along your path, supporting you in the challenge of living life to the fullest and achiving your true potential.

Abundance and Release - personal harvest

The essential workshop for those people ready to move forward in their lives

One of the most wonderful ways to help us handle change with joy and enthusiasm is to embrace the activities of celebration and release. The model for this behaviour is a traditional part of human heritage from around the globe, and is just as relevant to us as to our ancestors.

For them, it arose from the practical processes of harvest time, which they tended to see on emotional and spiritual levels as well - a skill that we have lost but can easily regain. In fact all of us know that holistic is best, and most of us are striving to reach beyond the over categorised, highly judgemental and frantic culture we live in at present. I am not suggesting that we have not gained much with pur communications and technology, but that we also have much heritage of wisdom to remind ourselves of that can help us balance old with new and make progress more healthy and balanced.

At this workshop we will celebrate our own achievements (large and small) and also celebrate each others triumphs. Give thanks for our lessons, and support each other through the process of reflection, recognition, acceptance and release. We will focus on updating our dreams and goals, and on winnowing the demands and pressures on our time that would prevent their attainment.

We will share of joy and laughter, tears and triumphs. Our activities will be guided by the wisdom of our ancient ancestors, for this was traditionally the time to gather together in celebration of the harvest. It is also the perfect time for reflecting on the years achievements, learning from our challenges, and releasing the bonds that hold us back.

Creating safe and sacred places

Using tools from the ancient art of feng shui right up to modern understanding of the effect of colour on the psyche, we'll explore how to create the right blend of sanctuary and chill out pad - for your place - home and garden.

There is no single right way to create anything to do anything. And today we are bombarded with so many fashion magazines for home and garden that we end up so confused that we do nothing at all - or find ourselves living in places that just don't quite feel right, even though we've done all the right things.

In this workshops we'll look deeper than what to do, and look into why to do it. Certainly, it IS healthy to have houseplants around us, but each plant has its own contributions, and many are particularly good at absorbing specific chemicals from the air - making them better for specific rooms and purposes.

Colour, placement, personality, the sense of spirit and homeliness that you want to create - all these may be different for each room, and of course different from each other. Our aim will be to explore new and old traditions of placement, design and colour use, and to develop our own sample book of ideas for transforming our homes and living spaces into magical havens - that support us in our activities, and provide sanctuary for rest and fulfilment.
