WORKING WITH YOUR SOUL: ITS ORGANISATION, LANGUAGE AND AGENDAS
with RUTH WHITE, Sunday November 21st 2010
Most of us are curious about the soul. Its purpose is evolution; and it is a well-organised entity. From an understanding of this organisation, we can come to an awareness of the signs and signals that allow us better to understand its language and agendas, and work more directly with it. There will be individual and group exploration of the theme, followed by teaching from Gildas, and discussion with him. There will also be an opportunity to ask for Gildas's comments on the personal and general questions that may have been articulated during the day
Ruth White is a Transpersonal therapist, teacher and spiritual consultant in England and Europe. In leading workshops, Ruth channels communications from the discarnate teaching and healing guide known as 'Gildas'. Her books include Working with Guides and Angels, The River of Life, Working with Spirit Guides and, most recently, Working with Your Soul
SYMPTOM AS SYMBOL
with Monica Anthony, Saturday February 5th 2011
In this one-day workshop we will engage with the interface created between psyche and soma, exploring in depth the expression and release of emotional patterns and mental thought-forms held in the body. As part of that process, we will discover tools to enable us each to take our personal journey further. We draw on Barbara Somers's material on ’Symptom as Symbol‘, which uses imaging in a deeply healing way and opens up rich therapeutic ground. The transpersonal approach and perspective engages the ’wise compassionate observer‘, the ’inner physician‘ within each of us (Upledger). Facilitating inner and outer dialogue, we will aim to bring the experience of our personal growth within the bigger picture to another level of integration
Monica Anthony is a transpersonal psychotherapist, craniosacral therapist, healer and astrologer. She originally trained and worked as a musician and has developed her interest in the relationship between mind, body and spirit since her first encounter with esoteric teachings and Transpersonal Psychology in 1975.
CLAIMING YOUR OWN AUTHORITY
With Karen John, Saturday May 14th 2011
How is your ability to be authoritative? What is the meaning and relevance of feelings and behaviours that may be compromising it? Today we shall collaborate in examining early memories and other metaphors that may be affecting your authority with other people. What constitutes 'effective' and 'ineffective' ways of being with people – including leadership, parenting and teaching? We shall explore the concept of authority, compared with being authoritarian or laissez faire. We shall examine collaboratively our ability to be authoritative, and aim to identify what for each of us gets in the way of expressing our authority in our relationships. We shall use group discussion, gestalt, brief presentations and other experiential exercises. We shall actively engage in demonstrations involving the exploration of ideas, feelings and possibilities for change

She supervises therapeutic and work-based practice and offers a number of workshops that involve taking and sharing authority – in family change and changing families, in collaborative inquiry, in leadership and leading teams, in group work, facilitation and supervision, and in child and adolescent mental health.
PASSAGES?
with Emma Ramsden, postponed until a Saturday in May 2012
A passage connects us, takes us to somewhere else. It is the limbo in between, the transitional space. It may be dark - a burrow, or tunnel, or underground labyrinth - the light is blocked out. It may force us - we may have to enter it, move into and through and out of it, for our very lives. It may be a threshold leading to another level: to the subliminal, on to further journeying.
The aim of the day is to explore. Were there passages in houses you have known? What went on there? What passageways do you use now – what ginnels, snickets or alleyways, what narrow, walled lanes that lead from one street to another and sometimes, from one world to another? Who or what lives in them? When do people live in passages? What is kept in them? Is it important that there is nothing in them?
Emma Ramsden is a Practitioner/ Researcher at Leeds Metropolitan University where she is currently completing her doctoral thesis, ‘A Study of Children’s Psychological Voices in Drama therapy’.
