THE ART OF SELF-ENQUIRY
This is an opportunity to try this tried and tested method of self enquiry that combines the ancient Zen practice of contemplating a question or 'koan', with modern communication processes. The contemplation happens within paired exercises called ‘dyads’, where one person contemplates and the other listens and receives what occurs as a result of contemplating the question.
Introduction to Self Enquiry
The old adage ‘Know thyself’ has wisdom to it. To know oneself fully brings an sense of inner calm and rootedness. We become less prone to confusion and less at the mercy of life’s ups and downs. This is a process of finding clarity, purpose and truth, as opposed to being told who you are or what is ‘true’. We use a tried a tested technique that combines the age old practice of contemplation with modern day communication processes, that supports your journey in finding clarity, knowledge and wisdom.

HEALTHY BOUNDARIES 2/3
Creating Healthy Boundaries for a Fulfilled Life
Having healthy boundaries that support who we are and that enhance our personal and professional relationships is an art we can learn to master. Like a customs check at the border of a country, healthy boundary management lets in the good stuff and keeps out the bad. Unfortunately life doesn’t hand this knowledge to us on a plate, but this is a skill that we can get better at practising.
Creative Well: A New Energetics
An alternative creative practice to the traditional writers’ groups. Guided facilitation in dynamic, vital creative practice & process by industry professional. We’ll base ourselves at a rehearsal space in Ashburton; moving away from the standard meeting room format to break new ground together through dual, trio and circle work. These occasions are for writers to achieve a more holistic view of their work: communicating thoughts and intentions within an aligned community that actively seeks soulful exchanges and will support your creative development and vision.
Open to writers across any form, whether novelists, artists, musicians, dancers, poets, or health and care professionals. If you’ve got something you want to write, here’s your opportunity to get clear and bright on the matter before moving into the work in inspired ways.
Fees: £50-£60-£70 (sliding scale)
Bookings of minimum of 6 people-max 12 before Jun 18, or event doesn't go ahead.

REAL MEN DON'T SING
At a small church in the mid 1990’s, I saw the ensemble ‘Mtiebi’ from the Republic of Georgia in concert. Dressed in their black cossack-like costumes, bullet cases lining their chest pockets, with daggers in their belts, I was struck by this group of men, singing their culture’s songs, rooted in their masculinity, at times singing with such power and then with such heart-breaking gentleness.
Singing for many men in the UK remains a go-go zone. I want to challenge the notion that ‘real men’ don’t sing, and open a door to a celebration of the male soul through an exploration of voice, sound and song.

WOMEN’S RETREAT: THE INNER MARRIAGE
In this five day journey deep in the valleys of Dartmoor we will go beyond self-discovery into the territory of transformation, commitment and new beginnings, celebrating in ceremony and witnessed by each other and by our family of the wild.

SACRED AND ANCIENT SONGS OF GEORGIA
Wellbeing through the Ancient and Sacred Songs of Georgia
The benefits of song are well known; coming together in harmony builds community and a place to let go and be carried by songs from another land, another time and culture. The Republic of Georgia has a rich and ancient singing tradition that dates back to ancient times. In this group we will also use song, voice and sound to connect, to heal and to embody.
