Family
Constellations Workshop, led by Ian Fuller
Many of us carry emotional
and psychological issues which have roots in our family of origin. Family
Constellations Therapy is an approach which allows us to look at underlying
family patterns and how they contribute to current personal issues.
These patterns are often not apparent to family members, and may have
arisen as a result of traumatic events in a family’s history.
Over the course of the weekend a workshop participant can expect issues
arising from family dynamics to be clarified, and in some cases resolved,
by means of constellations.
The weekend is for anyone seeking to understand themselves and their
situation from a wider perspective. The work is exciting and innovative,
it throws new light on old problems, and is capable of pointing to unexpected
resolutions. Many symptoms including depression, anxiety, relationship
issues and unresolved bereavement can be explored from a fresh viewpoint.
Venue: Wellspring
Cost: £120 per person.

The Practice of Self-Compassion
- a psycho-spiritual
perspective with
Mike Wilson
(Fully
Booked but may be repeated in 2011)
For centuries the wisdom
traditions both East and West have emphasised the importance of self-compassion
as the other side of, the more familiar, compassion toward other. Western
psychology is increasingly turning its attention to the benefits of
self-compassion as a continuation of mindfulness practice, but also
as a practice in its own right. This exciting development in psychology
and therapy opens pathways for healing the mind, and enables you to
face many of life’s challenges with greater ease.
Through a series of
exercises and explorations, balanced with appropriate theory, this day
is an opportunity to explore what it means to be compassionate towards
self. We will also consider obstacles to self-compassion, methods of
over-coming these, as well as practical ways of carrying this forward
into your own lives. There will also be an opportunity to consider the
spiritual implications which self-compassion raises.
Venue: Wellspring
Cost: £55
