... into Lifeskills, Wisdom, Creativity & Healing

A Journey of Liberation!

Vigorously defending or denying our WEAKNESSES, OLD UNHEALED WOUNDS or UNINTEGRATED TRAGEDIES repeatedly re-creates the murky waters of disappointment, frustration, isolation and resentment. These issues, often experienced as our hypersensitive "Hot buttons" are what we will be tackling in the "From Stress to Creativity and Healing" workshop.

This workshop includes:

Practical exercises for calming, centring and increasing resourcefulness in tense situations

The body language of empowerment

"Riding the energy" of stress - harnessing and transforming stress energy into creativity

Martial arts principles and gentle exercises that can help us navigate stressful situations

Relieving the burden of guilt - alchemical processes to forgive ourself and others

Disarming a "hot button" by accepting, flowing with, and transforming its energy

Clearing emotional blocks and reactive emotional touchiness

This course is partly experiential and partly an opportunity to share your struggles, setbacks, insights and successes with other people who are on a similar path of personal development.

The workshop facilitator Dr. Mike Meredith is a qualified physiologist. He worked as a professional trainer in the University of London and The University of Cambridge for 20 years and now works in the private sector as a stress management coach and healer. He has also taught martial arts for many years.

Significance of the Kwan Yin illustration
Kwan Yin (Guan Shi Yin in Chinese) is the Goddess of Mercy - the Buddhist equivalent of the Madonna or "Virgin Mary". She symbolises the importance of cultivating the quality of compassion which can release us from our own self-destructive self-judgements and ensuing guilt patterns that trap us in dysfunctionality. Kwan Yin also symbolizes how we can expand our consciousness, healing, wisdom and understanding sufficiently to release our self-righteous judgement of others. When others no longer have to defend themselves against our arrogance they become free to co-operate and co-create with us.

Kwan Yin - also known as "Quan Yin" - is holding one hand up in a symbolic gesture ["mudra"] that means "Be still" or "Be at peace", the modern equivalent of this might be "When you are in a hole - Stop digging!". Her other hand is pouring out balm or ambrosia from a vial - to ease the suffering of the sufferers.

This statue from Thailand is one of many images of Kwan Yin where she rides or dominates a dragon. A dragon is the ultimate symbol of power in many cultures. Apart fom the formidable physical weapons and defences that a dragon possesses it is also an animal able to travel on land, through the air and in water. The metaphysical equivalents of these three realms are our everyday life, our spiritual life and our emotional life. So at one level, Kwan Yin symolizes mastery of all these three aspects of human life.

At another level, Kwan Yin's domination of the dragon symbolises mastery of the "shadow" or dark unattractive side of our human nature - our inner demon. Our inner demon may be very unskilful and prone to generate violence and "bad karma" (consequences of our malicious or greedy actions and words) but it is a potent source of primitive ancestral stone-age-human energies. In other words our cave-person, self-centred, egotistical, survival at all costs, "shadow side" makes a bad master but a good servant!
