Reiki Level 1 Certificated Course
with Sue Hall Tweet Share

Two Sundays: February 26th & March 4th, 10.00am-5.00pm

Venue: Equilibrium Health Centre, 16 Station St, Lewes map

An affordable way to learn a new healing art and to enhance your existing therapeutic skills!

Reiki Master Susan Hall will be holding a Reiki Level 1 Course over 2 Sundays. As part of the course each student will be attuned to the Reiki healing energy. This process then allows the student to give healing to themselves and others throughout their lifetime.

Sue's classes are friendly and informal, and you will experience the simple method of how Reiki is performed. Learning Reiki is not an academic exercise so it is suitable for people of all ages.

During a Reiki treatment, the hands are placed lightly on 12 basic positions on the fully clothed body. The Reiki energy naturally activates and radiates via the palms of the practitioner’s hands. The recipient’s own healing mechanisms draw the right amount of energy wherever needed on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.

Reiki allows the recipient to enter a state of balance where healing can take place. It is a transformational energy that can be life changing.

On successful completion of the 2 day course, you will receive a Reiki Level 1 Certificate. The course runs from 10.00am to 5.00pm each day and the cost of £150 includes free refreshments throughout the course.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Practitioner Training
with Ged Sumner & Kerry Moore Tweet Share

Seminars:
7-11 March
9-13 May
5-8 July

Venue: Equilibrium Studio, 33 Cliffe High St, Lewes map

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Life expresses itself as motion. At a deep level of our physiological functioning all healthy, living tissues subtly ‘breathe’ with the motion of life – a phenomenon that produces rhythmic impulses which can be palpated by sensitive hands.

Body Intelligence Training offers a 45-day practitioner course for individuals wanting to become qualified craniosacral therapists. The training is biodynamic in its approach orienting to the body’s natural wisdom and allowing the body’s own intelligence to bring about authentic change. The body’s own priorities for change are listened for and encouraged to arise. The art of the therapist is to connect with the underlying forces of health and facilitate a process of natural reorganisation.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy takes a whole-person approach to healing and the inter-connectedness of mind, body and spirit are deeply acknowledged. The intention of the training is to provide a life transforming educational process that creates practitioners of excellence. The training is in-depth and comprehensive and honours the classical roots of the work along with recent developments in the field.

The Low-Cost clinic at Equilibrium (a Craniosacral treatment with tutor & student for £20) precedes each of the above dates.

 

Tai Chi for Beginners with Paul Tucker (Lewes) Tweet Share

Mondays from April 16th for 10 weeks
5.15-6.15pm (Beginners)

Venue: Equilibrium Studio, 33 Cliffe High St, Lewes map

Tai Chi Ch'uan is an ancient form of slow, graceful and rhythmic exercise which originated in China, where it is still extremely popular, often being performed in public parks early in the morning when the air is at its freshest. The style taught here is the Yang style Short Form as developed by Professor Ch'eng Man Ch'ing, currently the most popular form of Tai Chi in the U.K.

Tai Chi is sometimes referred to as 'meditation in movement' or 'swimming in air' for externally that is how it appears. It is a soft martial art, quite unlike karate, ju jitsu or any of the 'hard' martial arts which rely on force and speed.

Tai Chi strengthens our internal energy, and allows it to flow more freely through the body. It is gentle and non-violent, though after much practice it is an extremely effective form of self defence. more info...

Course fee: 10 weeks £75

Reiki Level 2 Certificated Course
with Sue Hall Tweet Share

2 Sundays 16 & 23 September 2012, 10.00am-5.00pm
Venue: Equilibrium Studio, 33 Cliffe High St, Lewes map

Reiki Level 2 Certificated Course

This course is for students who have completed Reiki Level I, and who are committed to carrying their Reiki forward in order to help others to help themselves. When a student is attuned to Reiki level II energy he/she is able to work as a Reiki practitioner (when insured), either privately or as part of a complementary health centre.

In an ever-changing world, more and more healers are needed on many levels, and when one is attuned to Reiki level II energy the overwhelming feelings are of gratitude and wonder at having this powerful yet gentle magic in one’s life. The changes experienced after being attuned to Reiki energy at level I are enhanced greatly with the second attunement. This is truly a life-enhancing and transformational step to take, should you choose to do so.

In Reiki I we learned how to channel Reiki healing energy, and to clear our subtle energy bodies in order to bring about self-healing, an essential process done on a regular basis. We also learned how to use Reiki on others in a hands-on healing session, and to tune in to the different sensations which may arise from this practice, both from the healer’s and the client’s perspective. This has prepared us for the second level, during which we will:

Revise our Reiki journey so far
Evaluate and discuss where we are now
Introduce the sacred Reiki symbols
Learn the symbols and their uses
Be attuned to the sacred symbols
Practice distant healing using the appropriate symbol
Practice healing on each other using the appropriate symbol
Discuss the connection between emotional and physical dis-ease
Presentation of Reiki level II certificates

The course will include discussion, meditation, the opportunity to share in a confidential and safe environment, and a detailed folder of notes to take with you.

Please bring with you your self-healing notes, and be prepared to discuss any case studies and experiences since your first attunement. If your Reiki I attunement was with a Master other than Sue, she will need to have a short conversation with you in order to establish a foundation for Reiki II training. Please call 01273 470955 to arrange.

The course runs from 10.00am to 5.00pm each day. The cost of £290 includes free refreshments throughout the course.

Introduction to Animal Communication 1 day Workshop
with Mia Sampietro Tweet Share

2012 date tba 10.00am-5.00pm

Venue: Equilibrium Health Centre, 16 Station St, Lewes map

Animal communication is about getting in touch with your sixth sense, intuition or psychic ability and 'talking' to animals.

You need no special skills, just a deep love of every creature on the planet and a willingness to learn. By quieting your mind and being in the moment this amazing ability is unlocked!

During the workshop Mia will lead guided meditations. You will 'talk' to animal guest teachers and also you will have the chance to tune into photographs of each other's animals to remotely 'speak' to them. This can be with an animal that is still alive or an animal companion who has passed over.

It will be a workshop full of fun, learning, like minded people and of course, our animals!

Teas, coffees and light refreshments will be served and please bring a packed lunch.

Please bring two printed photographs of animals past or present that you would like a fellow student to tune into (no humans in shot if possible and no red eye please).

Course fee: £60

Booking & enquiries: Please contact Mia Sampietro on 01273 479314 or 07976 247676 or email miasampietro@aol.co.uk
