Reiki 1 

2-day course with Lyn Palmer

Saturday & Sunday Future dates SEE LINK ABOVE

This Reiki First Degree course introduces and attunes you to the flow of Reiki energy and its healing system. It teaches you how to heal yourself, others, and your surroundings within the present moment. It will also lead you on to the next step of your own personal path of growth and self-development. The Reiki energy becomes a wonderful foundation for all that you practice in life. Reiki is not a religion; there is no creed or dogma involved and anyone can do it. It is a tried and tested form of hands on healing. What you put in is what you take out ten-fold!

Power Animals Workshop
NO CURRENT DATES FOR THIS WORKSHOP

Power Animals are energy patterns that are already within you which can be called upon when certain strengths or abilities are needed. They look after you, keep you in balance, empower you and give you confidence. We will be working with Animal Cards and Shamanic Journeys to discover which Power Animals you need in your life now. We all have a Principle Power Animal and Totem Animal as well. We will discuss the general abilities of the Power Animals that come through for you today, and question - how can they help? - what strengths do you need at this time? - how do you do work with them? - what ability might you need now? This will be an interesting and powerful workshop and therefore numbers will be limited. Please bring a notebook and pen and a scarf or similar to cover your eyes whilst 'journeying'.

Laughter Medicine with Lotte Mikkelsen

Laughter Medicine has proven to be a popular prescription!
Since October 2004 we have laughed on a regular basis in ISIS Crystals and we are exicted to be continuing in 2010!
Years of research shows that a good laugh everyday helps to reduce stress, raise your mood, and remove social barriers.  People who laugh a lot enjoy better health, better relationships and are far better at coping with stress.  Research also shows that we laugh 30 times more when we are with other people than on our own.
This two-hour Monday evening talk is an interactive workshop designed for people who wish to find ways of bringing more laughter into their lives.  It is a fun-packed mix of laughter exercises, meditation, breathing techniques, games, and talk - all about laughter!
The evening starts at 8:00pm, we finish just before 10:00pm and if we get it right... it should carry on forever!
Book early!
