Workshop: Sound Healing |
| venue: Hindringham, Norfolk |
to book: Download Application Form (pdf) |
|
Susie leads a relaxing, energising weekend to inspire personal healing through the power of soothing sound. Scientific research confirms that music can successfully relieve depression and transform burnout. The course includes: singing bowl meditations, mantra singing, drumming and release of the voice through movement and breath. Each participant will receive sound healing that Susie designs in response to their current life situation. There will be field trips to the beautiful Norfolk coast and to Little Walsingham, a centre of spiritual healing two miles away from the house. We will play The Transformation Game to gain insight and support for our life journey at this moment. Susie works on a Shamanic level drawing forth from participants an enriching depth of feeling not always encountered in everyday life. She uses music ranging from meditative and calming, to cathartic and symphonic. No previous experience of music is necessary for this course. The course includes all food and wine. Maximum 8 participants, minimum 4. |

Workshop: Painting - Mandala Painting “The Power of The Mandala” |
| venue: Rancho La Puerta, Tecate, Baja California, Mexico |
to book: www.rancholapuerta.com |
|
The Mandala is simply a way of painting in the round. By painting Mandalas we can discover the joy of “freefall” painting and take a journey which brings us closer to the centre of who we truly are. No previous painting experience is necessary as we approach the painting from an intuitive perspective that can create fresh abstract works of art. Wear comfortable clothes to the workshops as they will involve some gentle guided visualisations during which you may prefer to lie down. Each one-hour workshop has a different theme for painting the Mandala so all the workshops can be attended or just one. Painting materials provided.
