Address,Heal,Create,Process

Do you dream of writing but keep making excuses such as lack of time, skills or motivation?
Feeling blocked creatively?
Do you want to figure out why you keep procrastinating and create a creative routine that works?
Want to express yourself but can’t find the words or don’t know how to start?

We all have a story to tell but fear and our inner critic stops us from sharing who we really are. Writing as therapy will help you find out what you want to write, learn how to unlock memories and document your stories to reflect who you truly are.
This course will focus on helping you let go of stories that no longer serve you and will give you tools to both heal yourself and help others heal.
This is not a traditional creative writing course in that your writing will not be judged. This course will focus on helping you get unstuck, unblocked around your creativity, help you access your stories and connect. You will be left feeling more confident about the kind of stories you want to tell and in your ability to express yourself through writing.
No previous writing experience is needed to participate. If you are looking for a creative outlet, want to dig deeper in a safe and cathartic way or are interested in helping others or yourself through healing then we welcome you to embark on this journey.

Amy Kaye has been involved professionally in the creative arts since she was a child in theatre, radio and film and is a published writer and poet. She is the founder of Write On! which specialises in helping people unblock themselves creatively, get past psychological fears, tell their story and find their voice through writing.

Do you remember the thrill of receiving post from a pen pal?
When last did you tell someone important in your life how much they mean to you?
Sometimes we take the ones we love for granted. We assume that they know how we feel about them but when last did you express your thoughts and feelings without the help of emojis?
Dear 2017 is a one day letter writing workshop in which participants will be given stationery and writing prompts and questions to assist you in writing a variety of letters. Letters to people who have loved you,letters to those who laughed with you, letters to those who have hurt you, letters to those who said goodbye too soon, letters to people who you never want to forget and letters to those who keep you in the past that you need to let go of.
Whether you feel you have too much to say or if you aren’t one to easily express your emotions and find it hard to find the right words, this fun and cathartic workshop is for you.

Journey to Balance: Thrive by balancing your Inner Masculine and Feminine – by Loraine Magda

Sixth of Six Wednesday Evening Workshops – The cost listed is for the all six evenings.
About the Course
The idea of balancing the inner masculine and feminine is not new e.g. balancing Yin and Yang, but it is not widely understood either. This is because it is subtle and the idea of inner balance was at odds with the prevailing thinking of the past two eras.
The past two eras – Matriarchy and Patriarchy – were about exploring the polarities up to and including the point of imbalance. Now, as we enter a New Era, we are called to explore the balance and harmony between these two polarities using the best of both. This journey begins with ourselves. Loraine has discovered that masculine and feminine energies are equal, co-creative universal forces available to everyone, and harnessing them brings enormous benefits.
Because of the spiritual principle “As within, so without”, inner balance and harmony enables us to be in the flow of life, receive “nature support” and thrive in almost every aspect of life. The benefits are enormous!
In this course, you will discover what the Inner Masculine and Feminine are (“a modern-day interpretation of Yin and Yang”), what it means/does not mean to be balanced and how to get there in your own way. You will discover the Ten Benefits of Balance including enhanced self-awareness and self-esteem, living a purpose-driven life, enjoying whole-person relationships, greater work-life balance, significantly more effective leadership and co-creating a better world just by being who you are. All this begins by balancing within.

Journey to Balance: Thrive by balancing your Inner Masculine and Feminine – by Loraine Magda

Fourth of Six Wednesday Evening Workshops – The cost listed is for the all six evenings.
About the Course
The idea of balancing the inner masculine and feminine is not new e.g. balancing Yin and Yang, but it is not widely understood either. This is because it is subtle and the idea of inner balance was at odds with the prevailing thinking of the past two eras.
The past two eras – Matriarchy and Patriarchy – were about exploring the polarities up to and including the point of imbalance. Now, as we enter a New Era, we are called to explore the balance and harmony between these two polarities using the best of both. This journey begins with ourselves. Loraine has discovered that masculine and feminine energies are equal, co-creative universal forces available to everyone, and harnessing them brings enormous benefits.
Because of the spiritual principle “As within, so without”, inner balance and harmony enables us to be in the flow of life, receive “nature support” and thrive in almost every aspect of life. The benefits are enormous!
In this course, you will discover what the Inner Masculine and Feminine are (“a modern-day interpretation of Yin and Yang”), what it means/does not mean to be balanced and how to get there in your own way. You will discover the Ten Benefits of Balance including enhanced self-awareness and self-esteem, living a purpose-driven life, enjoying whole-person relationships, greater work-life balance, significantly more effective leadership and co-creating a better world just by being who you are. All this begins by balancing within.

The return of the Isis Mysteries…
The epoch we live in now is a mirror of the great Egyptian era. Many of the mysteries enacted in the ancient temples are now part of the inner life of modern humanity.

Gain insight into epoch making understanding as we experience the Isis Osiris mysteries funeral rites and the Pharaohs power. Learn what brought us to this point and how to rise out of it! Through these mysteries we can understand the importance ancient Africa and the role it has to play again the Immediate future for the whole world history.
