Grof Holotropic Breathwork with Debbie Dunning and Holly Harman
Tuesday 29th May at 7.30pm
Holotropic Breathwork is a powerful but gentle method of self-exploration and healing, developed by Stanislav and Christina Grof. Through accelerated breathing combined with music and focused bodywork, participants can gain access to deep levels of awareness and insight. Holotropic Breathwork is a non directed inner process, it is an adventure in self exploration, self recovery and self discovery. It is a form of self exploration which is based on the drive inside each of us to become whole.

Celebrate the Seasons – with Donna Forbes
Tuesday 19th June
Alban Hefin – Light of Summer – This seasonal celebration is one of joy and power and renewal. There is so much energy is all around us that it is so easy to tap into it. The sun is filling us with all the vitality we need, our food is swelling and capturing the goodness of the summer. The Solstice is often celebrated by watching the sunrise. Midsummer, a few days later, is celebrated at the point where the days begin to shorten.
In this workshop, we will talk about the season and what it means to us and reflect on what it would have meant to our ancestors. Then we will ‘tune in’ to the season using guided meditation and visualisation.
These seasonal workshops will help you tap into the energy of the yearly cycle and give strength to your goals for the year.
Run by: Donna Forbes (Harrier) and Gordon Austin (White Raven)
Information about other workshops and courses can be found on this website: www.EarthshineGrove.org.uk

During April, Donna Forbes will be exploring the Cosmic Web known to our Celtic ancestors in a follow-up to her popular Introduction to Celtic Shamanism workshops. We are also introducing ‘Don’t let Hayfever spoil your Summer’ – Jo Ketteman will be discussing ways to ease this annoying allergy. The end of the month will see an exciting evening of Sound for Relaxation and Meditation in partnership with Resonance Healing.

Qi Gong

Thursday 5th April 7.30 pm – 8.30 pm £6

Qi Gong is an ancient form of Chinese exercises which promote energy flow and relaxation. Older than Tai Chi, but similar in aim, Qi Gong uses gentle exercises and breathing as a form of moving meditation which opens joints, promotes flexibility and relaxes the mind, body and spirit.

Workshop run by: Sally Blackman

Celtic Shamanism – The Cosmic Web

Tuesday 10th April 7.30 pm – 9.30 pm £15

We are familiar with the idea of being connected to everyone we know – and many we don’t – from anywhere on the globe. All you need is a PC and a connection to a satellite. But this is not a new phenomenon! In fact, the internet is quite limited compared with the web our ancestors used: The Cosmic Web. Our forebears of these islands, the Celts, were well aware of this spiritual connection.

Working in the spiritual plane, we can see the connection between all things: we are all on the web; we are part of it and, what’s more, what we do and how we live affects the whole web. The workshop will include meditation and journeying. It is suitable for those who are new to or curious about shamanism and those who have attended previous workshops.

Mary-Clare de Echevarria has worked for nearly 20 years as a complementary therapist, healer, counsellor and psychotherapist, has run her own one-year counselling foundation course, and now teaches psychotherapy at The Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London. It’s designed to be an active and fun course with lots of laughter, and which will offer you deeper insight into yourself and your own qualities and strengths.
