ONGOING WORKSHOPS


The Cuddle Connection Workshop

During a Cuddle Workshop we come together to explore the magical world of non-verbal communication: we are a modern-day tribe, connecting through platonic touch, eye-contact, and the mindful activation of the body's life force energy. 

Join us, if you'd like to co-create a field of love, in which we learn about boundaries and expansion, connect with each other in the seen and the unseen world, and recharge our batteries of body, mind, and heart.

Stories of Death

October 31, 2022, Hybrid Event

This was a storytelling event of a different and unique kind during which we shared our personal stories about death. We broke the modern-day taboo on speaking about death and explored this mysterious transition.

​There are countless cases of near-death, temporary-death, and shared-death experiences, as well as after-death communications that provide suggestive evidence for the age-old tenet: that death is not the end but the transition of consciousness into a new reality.

​Explorer Group on Reincarnation - Online
Monthly from July 2021 - March 2022
This was an online discussion group for those who have so far participated  in the past life study.

During these sessions, participants were invited to share and compare their experiences: what happens, if we begin to unlock our karmic past and we no longer have memories only of this lifetime, but of a past that feels sometimes real and emotionally triggering, sometimes as distant and dream-like as the mythology of our origin. We talked about the thoughts and theories prompted by the sessions, and how our world-views shifted as a result of them.

3rd Integral European Conference
May 22-27, 2018, Siófok, Hungary
Title of Talk: The Past Life Paradox

What do we make of past life regression cases: Do they constitute wishful thinking, possibly leading to ego inflation? Or do they lead to a portal into multidimensional awareness? Do we even know what they constitute as we start working with them and reap their  benefits?

This conference brings together the largest gathering of the integral community in Europe, based on the works and concepts developed by Ken Wilber.

2nd International Congress on Consciousness 

May 19-21, 2017, Miami, Florida

Talk about the Therapeutic and Evolutionary ​Implications of Retrocognitions

I. Congress of the Hungarian Medical Association

May 6-8, 2016, Manchester, UK

Title of the Talk: Meeting of Mind & Body

Back in the 1970s when Dr Benson first offered the idea that stress might cause psychosomatic illnesses, with that he completely broke ranks with the medical establishment. Today, the health-detrimental effects of stress are obvious, and our understanding of mind-body correlates are increasing.  This is a very welcome co-operation with the medical profession to further the paradigm change towards a greater inclusion of the mind.

Metanoia: Advanced Self-Development Course

Monthly in 2014, London

There is one subject they should have taught you in school, but never did, which is personal development. There are powerful techniques out there which help overcoming life's hurdles and find our own highest path. To this moment, however, these techniques are not widely available, unless someone is willing to attend many, costly work-shops or qualifies as a therapist themselves. Metanoia is a comprehensive course, offering a in-depth journey into the depths of your own mind, to make your life happier, more fulfilled and more infused with the divine mystery.

The Sleep Well Workshop

April 5, 2014, Hertfordshire, UK

Set at Springfield House, Stevenage this workshop taught powerful techniques against insomnia, which participates can use for themselves.

One of the most important laws of hypnosis is the "Law of reversed effect." It says that the more we are trying to influence an event governed by the subconscious mind (or the autonomic nervous system) the less we will succeed. The more we are TRYING to fall asleep, the less likely we will do so. But there are other ways...

Nights of Stories 

Fortnightly in 2013

Stories have been told since the dawn of history. Today we believe they were meant to entertain.  However, the first stories human beings told each other were dreams and accounts of shamans journeying into the other-worlds, in modern words: they were accounts of inner, psychological experiences. You can find out a wealth of insight into your own life by understanding fairy tale patterns and symbolic language.  These are evenings dedicated to understanding the stories of our own lives, enhanced by creative visualisation, and a hearty cup of "builder's" tea!
Picture

Guided Visualisations

Forthnightly in 2012

​This series presents guided meditation sessions, which allow for an in-depth exploration of our psyche.
Techniques used come from hypnotherapy, psychosynthesis, Jungian psychotherapy and (mainly Tibetan Buddhist) meditation. They include:
 
- Gleams of an Inner World
- Synthesis (Fusion of the Opposites)
- Goal Setting, Imagery, Future Pacing
- The Best Therapist (Wise Old Person)
- Mediations to enhance creativity and compassion.

Mind & Body Circuit Training

Weekly sessions in 2011-2012

When it comes to exercise we tend to think that the more we move, the more calories we burn, and the more we train the better we become. However, modern sports psychologists know that there is more to this simple formula. When working with professional and Olympic athletes, it has become obvious that the power of thoughts plays a crucial role. This exercise class gives you use of these mental techniques, to boost your confidence, to help you overcome obstacles and to find your joy in exercising.

The Fabulous De-Stress Workshop

October 13, 2011, Clophill Centre, England

Together with Glenys Collings, Naturopath.

A hundred or so years ago, if one lived the life-style of the average population, ate what most people would eat, and moved around as much as everyone else, it was all right. However, today, if you eat what most people eat and expose yourself to stress levels which are "normal" in our society, you are on a "sinking ship." This workshop is helping you to create an individual, high-energy and high-vibrational life, letting go of stress and anything else which no longer serves you.

Creative Thinking in Business

September 28, 2011, Letchworth, England

At the Goldsmith Centre for Business

We tend to think about business as a very "left-brain" kind of activity, governed by rational thinking and numbers. However, as all great inventors and authentic entrepreneurs attest, intuition and creative thinking plays as much role in achieving success.  This briefing tells the story of those who have used their "right brain" in history and how you can use these techniques today to achieve your own personal and unique goals.

Two Roads Diverging Workshop

March 22, 2011, Stevenage, England

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." (Robert Frost)
Whenever life puts us at a crossroad (which might be a new opportunity or often the result of a crises), it is up to us to see our choices. There is a higher path, which is usually the one less traveled, but that is also the one truly authentic to our being. Choosing the highest path means to live life fully and to serve others in the most effective way at the same time.

Wellness Inside Out

March 19, 2011, Luton

“The Law of Attraction”  tells us about human power, how we create our reality as we go along. This unique workshop is designed to explain it all and to tell you how to use it to bring better health, great energy and more well-being into your life. 
If you have already tried too many diets and fitness regimes, but managing your weight and staying fit still seems like a challenge, come along and learn how you to implement a lifestyle change that brings joy and lasting results.

Together with Sandra Swan from Swan Coaching.

Experience Exercise

February 16, 2011, Stevenage

Exercise, we tend to think, is a purely physical matter. (When we want to lose weight, we must exercise more. When we want to become better at a type of sport, we must train more and harder.) However, leading edge sports psychologists - who work with professional and Olympic athletes - tell us that it is our mind which ultimately governs all these things and our performance. This workshop is about learning positive visualisation and mental rehearsal techniques, which can help you to achieve your exercise goals, whether you want to lose weight or improve your performance.  
Picture

The Insomnia Workshop

February 2, 2011, Stevenage

There is a law in hypnotherapy which is called the "Law of Reversed Effect" which states that whenever something is governed by the autonomous nervous system, the harder we try the worse it gets. If we cannot fall asleep, but we try hard (perhaps we are telling ourselves that it is so important for tomorrow's performance to get a good night sleep), it will only get worse. But what else shall we do if we just toss and turn? Try harder to stay awake...

Bring a Phobia!

January 19, 2011, Stevenage

Phobias are irrational, but often overpowering fears, which may be so strong that it seems a real great challenge to get rid of them. One explanation for the surreal power of phobias is evolutionary: when our ancestors saw say a saber-toothed tiger coming out of a certain cave, they had to learn instantly to avoid that particular opening. So, when an actually dangerous stimulus is linked with something else in our brain, a harmless object can trigger utter terror. The good news is, in most cases it is also quick and relatively easy to teach the brain to unlearn this particular association. So you can come, bring a phobia and leave it here for good.
