Invitation to Awareness

/in

A personal development workshop

  • Do you work in a caring profession where communication and relationship skills are important?
  • Are you considering becoming a counsellor?
  • Do you want to improve your personal relationships?
  • Would you like to explore, expand and deepen your awareness?

If your answer to any of these questions is yes, this workshop is for you. Gestalt is an experiential approach which invites each of us into awareness and personal ‘response-ability’. We need to be able to make good contact with ourselves and others if we are to be effective in our lives. This weekend offers an opportunity to experiment with new ways of relating in a safe and supportive environment.

Feldenkrais Self- Awareness, Self -Care and Early Life Attachment History Workshop

This experiential workshop is for psychotherapists, counsellors, counselling psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals (students attending personal therapy are welcome) and will allow participants to touch into their attachment history held in implicit or procedural memory in the body.

It is led by Anne McGuinness, Feldenkrais Practitioner and Psychotherapist, and has grown out of Anne’s many years of interest and experience in the field of attachment and early life relationships and the use of a Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement approach to safely access the residues of attachment history held in the body. It has grown also out of Anne’s personal experience and belief that Feldenkrais offers practitioners in the m

ental health field a self –care tool that is unparalleled while at the same time growing our awareness of our body selves that offers both a deeper grounding in oneself and greater access to body resonance to client experience (body/somatic countertransference).

Date: Sunday 28th May 2017

Time: 10am – 1pm (assemble at 9.45am to start promptly at 10am)

A 5 RHYTHMS WAVES LEVEL WORKSHOP – CPD Allowable

6th and 7th May

WHEN NAMASTE MEETS WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT THE FUCK! BOWING TO THE RESISTANCE IN MYSELF

We will through the SHADOW WAVE explore our resistance to our own spirit

By embracing and embodying our Shadow and allowing it expression we can identify which shadow we are likely to use when we are exasperated and in either flight, fight or freeze – Fuck You, I am the Fuck out of here, What the Fuck!

Flowing and the shadow of Inertia – I don’t give a Fuck

Staccato and the shadow of Rigidity – Fuck you there is only my way

Chaos and the shadow of Confusion – What the Fuck is going on?

Lyrical and the shadow of Space Out – Where the Fuck am I?

Stillness and the shadow of Numbness – I can’t feel a fucking thing

1st and 2nd July

WHEN NAMASTE MEETS WHAT THE FUCK!

Bringing these two self states together. Exploring how they can co-exist and we can bring forward our truth not our reaction, not by spiritually bypassing what feels overwhelming and intolerable to us but with the 5 Rhythms Movement Practice moving with our reactions and create what would serve us in both Namaste and What the Fuck …read more

The Hero’s Journey – a 7-Day Residential Workshop

/in

A Seven-Day Residential Workshop Presented by The Fool’s Dance Gestalt Company –

Paul Rebillot School in Ireland

The ‘Slí an Chroí’ Centre, Kiltegan, Co. Wicklow, July 1st to July 7th, 2017.

The ‘Hero’s Journey’ gives us “… a chance to come in contact with our own internal call for transformation and to go about discovering the steps that we need to take in order to accomplish this transformation …” Paul Rebillot

What is your reaction to the prospect of change in your life? Excitement? Fear? Or both together? Paul Rebillot’s ‘Hero’s Journey’ workshop is a rich and exciting Rite of Passage to help us respond to the “Call to Adventure” and to live fully and authentically in our constantly changing world.

The workshop – an exciting group structure combining elements of myth, theatre, ritual, music, art and movement with Gestalt process – is, at its core, all about our openness to change and to adventure.

Significant change challenges us to move from one level of being to another and such a step into the unknown can call up strong resistance. Traditional societies used Rites of Passage – overseen by a ritual master or shaman – to ceremonialise, celebrate and guide members of the community on their journey through important life stages such as birth, puberty, adulthood, marriage, eldership and death. Importantly, these rituals also taught the initiates that change was part of the normal order of things and showed them ways of dealing with it.

Responding to what he saw as modern society’s need for help in facing change, Paul Rebillot drew on his professional skills as actor, director, musician and psychotherapist – and on his personal experience of spiritual and psychological crisis – to develop a rite of passage for our own times, a blueprint – based on the universal …read more

“Your Precious Life – How to Live It Well” with Shane Martin

/in

Date: Friday May 5th – 9.00am – 11.00am (Registration from 8.30am)
Venue: Wynn’s Hotel, Dublin 1
Cost: €25 for EAPA Members /€45 for Non-Members
This is a seminar on the science of wellbeing and happiness. Over many decades, science has made a wonderful contribution in helping us understand negative emotion. The emphasis on deficits, disorders and disease has allowed for effective interventions to be developed in order to help and support people who are unwell or unhappy.
But why wait until we are unwell to learn about becoming healthier? Why wait until we are unhappy to explore happiness? In recent years psychologists have started to examine positive emotion. This research has focused on what makes people happier, what gives them more meaning and purpose in life and what measures they can take to lead to overall greater health.
This seminar will outline ten simple, practical and more importantly evidence-based strategies linked to a better quality of life. The hope is that it will uplift and inspire change in the lives of those who attend but even more importantly inspire participants to incorporate it into their homes, workplaces and communities.
Presenter’s Profile – Shane Martin

€95 lunch and Dinner included, B&B €35
RSVP – https://www.facebook.com/events/1936242436595861/

A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice each year as the Sun reaches its highest or lowest excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere. As a result, on the day of the solstice, the Sun appears to have reached its highest or lowest annual altitude in the sky above the horizon at local solar noon. The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the seasons. In many cultures the solstices mark either the beginning or the midpoint of winter and summer.

At this day long workshop we will be participating in a ;

Sacred Sites Druidic ceremony on the hill of Tara and the fairy tree ritual.
Fire Ceremony; a ritual to burn off the old patterns to make room for the new.
