Primal Integration Weekend
with Juliana Brown & Richard Mowbray
Cancelled due to coronavirus crisis
15-17 January 2021
Friday evening 7-10pm, Saturday & Sunday 11am-8pm
£135 for bookings made before Fri 8 Jan
£155 for bookings thereafter
Primal Integration offers a distinctively self-directing environment in which to explore our deeper levels of experience, with a view to being alive and living more authentically and being more able to connect with others.
The format of the group alternates between a structured phase and a free-form phase during which what takes place is determined by what you choose to explore and what you allow to happen, drawing on resources within and around you including facilitation and group support for the endeavour.
First timers require an introductory interview.

February 2021
Bioenergetics Day
with Guy Gladstone
Cancelled due to coronavirus crisis
Saturday 6 February 10am-6pm
Before 30 Jan £75
thereafter £90
This group is suitable both as an introduction for newcomers to body oriented personal growth work and an opportunity to go further for those who already have some experience in this area. Anyone who has not previously been to a group with me is welcome to phone beforehand to discuss coming.
Exercises will be given to deepen breathing, free the voice, release muscular tension and improve your contact both with others and your own inner process. There will be an overall concern with increasing your range of feelingful expression and opening to the experience of spontaneous feeling from the core of your body.
I will encourage participants to share issues from their daily lives and/or their experience within the more structured parts of the group as starting points for deeper exploration. There will be different phases to the day – the whole group working energetically together, occasions when I work with individuals and times when group members pair up to give each other support.

Sexuality and the Heart Connection
with Silke Ziehl
Cancelled due to coronavirus crisis
Saturday & Sunday
6/7 March 10am-6pm
£120
This weekend is about being attentive to our reality as sexual human beings. Often we have learned to split ourselves in halves and to connect with either our heart or our genitals. Yet our body has deeper dreams of living, where love and excitement are both included, and our wholeness is affirmed.
When we learn to trust our own bodies, our boundaries, our needs and desires and become more aware of the shifting patterns of opening up and closing down – then we can ground our sexuality in the compassion of the heart, and we can ground our heart connection in the excitement of our sexuality.
In doing this, we’ll heal the split between our sexuality and our heart.

Pulsing Intensive - the back
with Silke Ziehl
Cancelled due to coronavirus crisis3-5 April 2021Saturday, Sunday & Monday, 10am-6pm.
£195
PULSING is a gentle and nourishing style of bodywork. Through soft rotary movements and rhythmic rocking of all parts of the body it gently releases tensions, feelings, and energy, expanding the tissues, nourishing the person, creating spaciousness inside ... It is deep work without being painful, powerfully yet softly affecting the whole body-mind-spirit, nurturing body and soul.
Pulsing is playing with the rhythms of the body, harmonising them. This Pulsing Intensive allows time for getting to know and learn the important basics of this kind of bodywork, while focusing on working with the back of the client.

Psychodrama Day
with Guy Gladstone
Cancelled due to coronavirus crisis
Sunday 13 June 10am-6pm
Before 6 June £75
thereafter £90
Psychodrama differs from other approaches to groupwork in that the invitation is to ‘show us’ rather than ‘tell us’. Though action-based no acting skills are needed. Actual or imaginary scenes from your past, present or future are improvised by the director, yourself and the group. There is a focus on one person’s issue, ‘the protagonist’. Other group members take ‘auxiliary’ roles as family member, fellow employee or figure from a dream, through which you may get more in touch with your own concerns. These are then shared before moving to the next protagonist’s psychodrama.
Besides being an enjoyable introduction to groupwork (of which you need not have any previous experience) the benefits include an increase of personal power and spontaneity and a deeper understanding of your own and others’ difficulties. A day of exploring your inner world and acting it out.
