Casting the Goddess Womens Circle

This beautiful women’s program mirrors the inherent beauty of woman. Women come together, as they have done for centuries, to participate in their own healing, support other women’s healing and deepen their learning about themselves as a living connection to the world. Women actively work with their feelings and beliefs about their body, love, relationships, motherhood, attractiveness, work, sex, aging and their spiritual connection to nature and the divine feminine.
One of the aims of this course is to foster a sense of community and the sacred feminine within women of all ages and an awareness of the intense holding available to women living in the contemporary world, through their connection with each other and the Earth. Each week, we will enact women’s ceremony, magic and ritual to acknowledge and celebrate all that is woman.
Women have the opportunity to re-enter, rediscover and reaffirm the softness and gentleness of their own sensuality through their personal connection.

The qualities, meaning, and mythology of each planet are discussed, including Chiron and the nodal axis of the Moon. We will look at the psychological dimension of planetary symbols and how these symbols can be applied for practical understanding. Class discussion will centre on students examples, and examples drawn from the charts of well known persons.

In this group students practice their skills being developed throughout the training. The skills learnt in each subject are practiced with each other under supervision. There is also the opportunity to explore relevant themes and issues emerging from the experiences of the course.

Energy Medicine 1

The first evening of this advanced course will be preparing us energetically and spiritually for the two full days of study and practice of spiritual healing. We will start the evening with a meditation that takes us into the body and then we will bring in the spirit doctors for a spiritual healing experience in preparation for the weekend.

Over the weekend we will discuss the human energy field and its relationship to spiritual healing. How spiritual healing affects the body, mind and soul. The first and most important aspect of preparation for your healing work is clearing techniques. Even though you have learned ways of clearing we will experience a number of methods particularly used for spiritual healing. Setting up the room for the start of your spiritual healing practice, these methods will also be for your use daily wherever you are.

Energy Protection Workshop

Have you ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed or ill after being with someone? Do you ever unwittingly pick up others’ aches and pains? With an emphasis on practical skills, in this course you will learn how we get affected during interactions with others, to develop and maintain auric field and core integrity, working with ‘Shenpa’ or what ‘hooks’ us in and supportive ways to become energetically stable and avoid being ‘drained’. We will be working with specific tools, such as chi movement exercises, energetic healing, acupressure, breathing techniques, essences and specific nutrients. Techniques for ‘space clearing’ of home and work are also discussed.

Green Rituals and Ceremony

Rituals and ceremony are part of shamanic practice and are performed for many reasons. Used to speak to the unconscious, you will learn how to use ritual and ceremony to tap into your creative powers, receive prophetic dreams and visions, to celebrate achievements and important events, prepare for healing work, direct focus towards things that you want to accomplish and to remind yourself that you are a living connection within the web of life. Rituals and ceremony are an expression of honour. In this workshop you will learn about the power and magic of ritual and ceremony as paths to healing and honouring yourself and our world.

Intuitive Anatomy

Connect with the sacred nature of human form, our biology of being. This course provides a dynamic and creative approach to understanding the functions and structures of our body. It is for those wishing to develop an energetic experience of the body and it’s communication through resonance. Our bones, fluids and organs all carry sound and pattern uniquely. Via experiential anatomy, creative expression, subtle shifts in posture and focus we can change our perception and our health. We can learn to become more fully present, living as a dedication to the sacred in all life.

Intuitive Awareness 1 - Establishing the Foundation

This introductory subject is about Establishing the Foundation. This term provides insights and practical skills to enhance intuitive awareness and personal wellbeing. Students will learn about the use of intuition in daily life and the value of working with the power of intention. The body’s subtle energy system is discussed and weekly practical exercises will provide understanding of the physical and psychological function of the seven major chakras. An understanding of the mind-body connection, the benefits of a supportive environment and personal energy protection, provides insights and practical skills to enhance and maintain energy levels and wellbeing. Students will also have the opportunity for intuitive integration and experience natural occurring altered states of consciousness using sound and creative methods.

Intuitive Awareness 3 - Building Intuition

This term deepens your intuitive awareness, and supports further development and application of intuitive skills. The historical and modern day use of oracles and sacred tools is explored. Practical intuitive exercises incorporating psychometry, telepathy, and stream of consciousness writing help to build greater awareness. Exercises to feel and see the auric field will provide a widening appreciation of the subtle energy system. Other key aspects of awareness include living an inspired life and dream insights.

Meditation on Joy Workshop

Polish up your Joy (Fire element)

When we leap with the element of Fire, we ignite and share our joy. The lustrous gem of the solar plexus chakra, Fire, sparkles with delight. It transforms matter into energy and inertia into action. In balance, Fire helps us to integrate and create wholeness. It confers power with responsibility, the ability to set goals and to achieve them, self-confidence and the capacity to celebrate the joys of others.

Nature Retreat: Green Wisdom

This nature experience shows you how to expand your awareness and relationships to include the worlds of rocks, minerals, plants, humans, animals, stars, moon, trees and the Cosmos. Trees have particular significance in shamanic practice. You will traverse the landscape of the “shaman”, attuning yourself to the language of the natural world, to hear the messages it brings and applying this learning to mapping the journeys and relationships of your everyday life. This is a chance to explore and experience the essence of the natural world, to communicate with the elemental energies of Nature and to learn to recognise and interpret her signs and symbols.

Reiki 1

Do you wish to experience more joy, love and compassion? The healing art of Reiki teaches us to work in balance and harmony with the Universal Life force, allowing energy to flow through us and be of benefit unconditionally to self, others, animals and our environment. Reiki is much more than a therapeutic tool, it is a path of self empowerment, a spiritual journey inviting us to be deeply centred in the heart. Practicing Reiki we develop greater connection with our true nature. As you radiate love and joy, it allows others to connect with their own love, joy and healing.

Reiki 2

Develop greater awareness of the Oneness of being, our connection with All that is, in a profound space of unconditional love. Further enhance your Reiki skills for yourself or within a therapeutic setting and as a path of spiritual development. In this course we explore the meaning and application of the traditional Reiki symbols, as taught by Mikao Usui. These symbols are tools supporting clear focus and intent. Through practical experience, meditation and chi moving exercises, participants will learn about distant healing for self, others, situations, ‘space clearing’ and continue their ‘hands-on’ healing work.

Reiki Master

This workshop is a profound deepening of the Reiki experience. Working with Reiki is a spiritual practice which assists us in developing greater compassion and acknowledging our oneness with all. Connecting closely with the original philosophy of Dr Mikao Usui this workshop incorporates meditation, energetic healing practices and chi moving exercises. The four Reiki symbols will be explored and their relationship with the Reiki attunement. You will learn and practice the Reiki attunement process, understanding the effect of conferring attunements for self and others and supporting its integration. There is also a focus on understanding what is involved in facilitating a Reiki Workshop.

Participants must have been attuned to Reiki Level I and II for at least a year and have experience in working with people and the symbols.

Soul Centred Counselling 2

At any stage of life, problems can arise. Painful experiences from our past, or any unexpected situation, may cause problems and difficulties in the present. Soul-centred counselling works on the basis that problems rarely exist alone, they often impact other areas of life - emotional, social, physical, spiritual and cultural. In this module you will learn more about person-centred therapeutic approaches and practices. Building on the basic attending skills, you will learn how to use embodiment, imagery work, intuition and energetic awareness to bring about and support fundamental change in a client’s experience.

Transformative Meditation 3

There have been prophecies that our future is to build group channels for energy distribution, based on what has been achieved in the past. Within the power, safety and balancing effect of our group we use the energies we have refined earlier in the course to develop experience in layers of group consciousness. We learn practices that use our own growth and expansion to foster evolving consciousness in the world.

Whole Chart Synthesis Tutorial

The art of astrology lies in the ability to synthesize potentially disparate pieces of information. A good astrologer learns to combine intuition with empirical data to produce satisfactory results. In this workshop, we will explore how planets, signs, houses and aspects come together in the whole chart. We will explore how dominant chart patterns allow us to create a psychological portrait that powerfully describes the psycho-emotional themes running through an individual’s life. This is a practical workshop, with an emphasis on real-life examples. You will practice applying the tools and techniques needed to interpret the chart as a whole.
