Healing our Bloodlines
Teacher: Caitlín Matthews & Angela Cotter

We all belong to one circle of life, drawing our existence from many ancestors. At a time when many feel isolated or disconnected from ancestral family or places, it is good to reconnect with our forebears and heal our fractured bloodlines. Time and place no longer divide us as we sing open the bridge that helps us meet our ancestors in the precious present moment. As we encounter our ancestors and welcome them home, so we begin to feel less lonely or abandoned. We will celebrate ancestral hospitality by welcoming the lost ancestors back to the hearth, as well as honouring all our ancestors and the wisdom that we receive from them. We invite you to draw together as one kindred and find the love and support that makes us strong.

3 day personal development workshop using Pesso Boyden System
With Juliet Grayson

So, why would you attend a Pesso Boyden Personal Development Workshop?
Almost any problem you have had difficulty resolving may be able to be helped. Our history directly affects how we experience events today….if I have been roughly treated by an authority figure I may not expect authority figures in my life today to be kind to me. If I had a difficult relationship with my mother then I may have trouble relating to other women in my life.
Often it is more subtle, and in working with people who have had more than ten years of one to one therapy, when they do a session they say 'I never realised that was connected to this issue'. We also welcome people who have had no therapy at all, and are just beginning a journey of self awareness and personal development…and all the shades in between.

The Play of Light and Shadow
With Sianna Sherman & Theodore Kyriakos

Join us for this experiential weekend of transformation in the heart of Avalon. In this exquisite environment, Sianna and Theo will guide us on an adventurous, profound and playful exploration of our shadows and light. With creativity and play, we will bring awareness to the masks we wear and to the forgotten parts of ourselves that we repress. We will learn how to meet our darker sides and skilfully face our fears, while gaining tools for engaging our difficult places without displacement or denial. This retreat will be a powerful blend of asana, meditation, group exercises, contemplation, journalling and creative activities to free the spirit and brighten the heart. Each day will include an extensive asana practice with Sianna, followed by practical, accessible and awakening exercises with Theo.

Shamanism
Teacher: Caitlín Matthews & Angela Cotter

This NEW residential course for advanced students teaches how we take the cruths or shapes of our spirits upon us as we learn the principles of Spirit Embodiment. We are never closer to our spirits them than when they become embodied in us. Cruthneacht (pronounced KRU-nyokt) is part of the ancestral European embodiment traditions that are our natural heritage, where customs of embodying territorial spirits, seasonal guardians, radiant ancestors and tribal gods kept the world in order. Through ritual, dance and silence we explore the shapeshifters' art of Fith Fath, the druidic way of invisibility, when the shapes are hidden from sight for vital protection. Participants will have the opportunity to experience Cruthneacht themselves in the Spirit Assembly, discover how it can becomes part of our work with individuals as a way of enabling powerful change, dynamic healing and ecstatic unity.

Jill Purce - Healing Voice - Residential Week Intensive

"Wonderful and magical and utterly life changing"

Each of Jill's week intensives is different. We will learn and develop the ancient shamanic practice of overtone chanting, vocal purification practices, transformative breathing, vocal yogas, sonorous meditations, sacred chants, mantras, and sonic practices to transform family curses into their corresponding blessings and heal the ancestral lines.

We will be also be working with, learning and becoming the mandala, or structure of consciousness of the supreme alchemical balance of male and female - the union of these two is the ultimate spiritual path, sought after in different ways within all traditions. On this occasion, Jill will teach and work with the Healing Mandala of White Tara. This work combines and contain continuous chant, profound spiritual practice with joyful deep and transformative psychological work. Many people including almost all Tibetan Buddhists from the most sophisticated to the simplest, including the Dalai Lama, maintain their deep connection with this feminine manifestation of the divine, who acts swiftly and confers compassion, enlightened action, liberation, emotional and physical healing and long life. Through working with the extraordinary energies of Tara we are able to ease the blockages to achievements in work, in life and in emotional and physical health , bring about order and flow in our lives and work towards achieving the essential state of reality and become enlightened.

The April-May 2012 retreat is held over the festival of Beltane or May Day, a festival of fecundity when the forces of heaven penetrate the earth (represented in traditional England by the Maypole). We will celebrate and harness these forces learning and using sound as the bridge between the worlds to connect to the source of power through the instrument of our own voice and purify the body, the elements and past karma. In Tibetan Buddhism, the ultimate liberation is to transform the elements of the body into the essence of their substance - the rainbow colours and ultimately achieve the rainbow body.

Jill only does one week-long residential retreat of this kind a year - always different and people come to them from all over the world so do book soon.

The Transfiguration
Group Leader: Chris Bourne

When we truly step onto the spiritual path, life can become profoundly magical and miraculous as the soul infuses within. Yet this process can also lead to a roller coaster ride of emotions as the soul causes us to confront blocked energy from society and our upbringing. As the divinity within us unfolds, our lives can be thrown into turmoil. Living the life of the false self, constricted by inner child identities, no longer serves us. If we are to become our fully authentic selves and find fulfilling harmony in life, then we must go into the heart of this conditioning, release our attachment to it and then dissolve the blocked energy away. The only way out it through. That is the purpose of Openhand's five day course "The Transfiguration"

The Deepest Acceptance of Life: Discovering Freedom Here and Now
With Jeff Foster

Earthspiriit invites you to a 5 day retreat with Jeff Foster in June 2012. Jeff is a young, gifted author, speaker and retreat leader. Some years after Jeff graduated in Astrophysics from Cambridge University, following a period of severe depression and illness, he became addicted to the idea of "spiritual enlightenment", and embarked on an intensive spiritual search which lasted for several years. The spiritual search came to an absolute end with the clear seeing that there is only ever Oneness. In the clarity of this seeing, life became what it always was: spontaneous, clear, joyful and fully alive, and Jeff began to write and talk about "nonduality" (which he often calls "the utterly, utterly obvious").

Jeff is listed in the Watkin's list of The 100 most spiritually influential living people. Jeff's books include The Wonder of Being and An Extraordinary Absence. He has a unique way of expressing the inexpressible, answering the unanswerable and understanding what can't be understood. Jeff is a spiritual belief and spiritual concept buster. He will gently guide us to a deeper understanding that there is no more and no less to life than what is happening right in this moment. Jeff has helped many people to see that the search for something other than this can only ever be a search for something other than this. When the search for peace love fulfillment and acceptance is over what remains is the realisation that peace love fulfillment and acceptance is already here, it always was.
