“Freedom, grace and beauty are the natural attributes of every animal organism. Freedom is the absence of inner restraint to the flow of feeling; grace is the expression of this flow in movement; while beauty is a manifestation of the inner harmony such a flow engenders. They denote a healthy body and also, therefore, a healthy mind.” Dr Alexander Lowen

(includes lunch, morning and afternoon tea)Transforming Suffering, Empowering Life
In alchemy a crucible is the container that holds the raw materials undergoing the process of purification & transmutation. Sandplay is often likened to an alchemical process - these workshops create a sacred crucible, for healing & transformation.
With the uniquely creative process of Sandplay we can gain new insights and access our own deep wisdom
With Sandplay Therapy we are able to deal with personal issues that may hinder our life & relationships; find creative new ways forward when we feel stuck; as well as being reminded of our strengths & the positive qualities we sometimes lose sight of.
About the Workshop
“Often the hands will solve a mystery
that the intellect has struggled with in vain” C.G.JungSandplay and symbol work bring a transformative and creative dimension to the therapeutic process. Combined with Expressive Therapies the day promises to provide a safe, nurturing environment for healing and self-discovery.
We can use Sandplay to:
- resolve personal problems
- reclaim forgotten qualities
- receive inner guidance & direction
- expand our self knowledge
- explore our personal mythology
- give free range to our creative impulses
The day will start with some bio-energetic movement exercises to support connecting to and waking up the body and our energy; allowing the release of physical tension, stress and emotional holding. After the main processes using the Sandplay some mandala drawing and meditation will complete the day. To read more about Sandplay click on the Sandplay Therapy link on the navigation bar.

Transpersonal Breathwork - one day workshops
Sat 29th May & Sat 12th June 2010
9am - 6pm
$160 per w/shop or $280 for both
These are separate one day workshops - you are welcome to attended one or all sessions.
Transpersonal Breathwork is a powerful connected breath technique (based on the work of Stan Grof) that bridges the gulf between the unconscious and consciousness. Breathwork supports a re-connection between body, mind and feelings and enhances the innate healing potential of each person.
Transpersonal Breathwork encompasses more than the conventional steps of personal/ego development. It recognises and includes the healing potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness and experiences of a transpersonal or spiritual nature.
Participants in a Breathwork session may experience strong emotional and/or physical sensations. They may experience past events and/or they may have an experience of the vastness of themselves - connecting with the greater human experience, the cosmos or the Divine. When a person enters this fuller experience of Self a sense of release and well-being results.
Transpersonal Breathwork may not be appropriate during pregnancy, or for persons with caridovascular problems, severe hypertension, severe mental illness, recent surgery or fractures, acute infectous illness, or epilepsy. It is not compatible with the use of illicit drugs. If you have any of these contraindications, or doubt whether you qualify to participate, it is crucial for your safety that you inform us prior to booking.
Lunch, tea/coffee provided
Please wear loose, comfortable clothes
Bookings essential. Please call Karen or Anna on

"Every human being
senses an inner longing that goes deeper than the longings for emotional
and creative fulfillment. This longing comes from sensing that another,
more fulfilling state of consciousness and a larger capacity to
experience life must exist." |

"Whether one created it or is simply absorbed in meditating on it, the mandala is a primordial cosmic formula, a divine image beyond personal projections, an abstract of essence. In today's increasing individual and collective disorientation where many have lost their traditional god images with their healing power, the mandala may be an aid to mental and spiritual renewal."
