Hypnosis: How to easily hypnotise anyone

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 10:51:36 -0500

Hypnosis is one of the most fascinating and yet most misunderstood functions of the mind and even to this date is something of a mystery to modern psychologists. In this experiential workshop you will learn how to easily take control of your hypnotic ability and use it to train your own mind to react in a positive way or to influence other people through hypnotic patterns in communication.

The workshop will be facilitated by Janmastami dasa (John Francis Leader) who is the inventor of the Integrated Achievement™ method of hypnotherapy. With a background in Psychology, Hypnotherapy, Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and NLP Janmastami has facilitated thousands of individual consultations and training events worldwide.

Thai Massage

Haripriya — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:11:38 -0500

Traditional Thai Massage Therapy Class: Thai massage is a unique form of body therapy that incorporates Hatha yoga and acupressure. This particular form of body work dates back at least 2000 years. The movements of gentle rocking, deep stretching and compression assist in the restructuring of the body’s muscular-skeletal framework. This particular form of massage is performed fully clothed and no oil is needed. In this hands-on seminar one can expect to watch, receive and perform basic Thai massage techniques that will leave the participant feeling relaxed and joyful. Please wear loose clothing (preferably trousers and shirt) that allow movement.

Behind the Mask

A dramatherapy workshop: An opportunity to discover more about yourself and others using the expressive mediums of drama, story (Ramayan), artmaking and reflection.
Awareness leads to more honest relationships and empathy.

This workshop will last for approximately 3 hours with a short break. In the first part we will begin with an ice breaker, warm ups and work with sculpts (freeze frames) in our exploration of what is ‘hidden’. We will then make our own personal masks. In the second part we will focus on an excerpt from the Ramayan and work with improvisation. This workshop combines the creative arts/drama with an inner exploration in a safe, confidential and fun space.

This is a creative process I’ve been working with for about ten years with a variety of age groups but particularly has been meaningful for young people in foster care and those who’ve been in traumatic situations. Also have offered it for professional development in many contexts.

Authentic Movement: moving with symbols

Shyam — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:55:46 -0600

A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF HEART, HEAD AND SOUL

“The symbols of the self arise out of the depth of the body.”
C. G. Jung.

This workshop is rooted in the idea that the body and the mind are in constant reciprocal interaction. Our history, dreams, feelings, energy and spiritual experiences are all held within the body. In this workshop, we will be using creative movement as a vehicle for contacting our inner dance and for expression of the spirit. No dance experience necessary. We will learn how to trust again in the wisdom of our body to take us where we need to go in our psychic landscape. This exploration will include active imagination, voice dialogue, sound, ritual, drawing and relaxation, all used to awaken the symbolic capacity of our psyche and deepen our experiences.

Acro-yoga

yamuna devi — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 15:53:25 -0600

a workshop based on the fundamentals of yoga, acrobatics, and thai yoga massage….... this builds on the themes of trust, play and connection within a community….... it is a practice that invites the practioner to give and recieve loving kindness without any attachment or expectation. it begins in a circle with chanting and connecting the group then a warm-up with yoga asanas and inversion practice and tightness drills to strengthen the body…... then develops to partner stretches, human pyramids and theraputic and acrobatic flying flows in pairs…... you dont need a partner to join just a open mind and heart and lots of energy …......
