READ MORE...Participants will learn how to connect with the deepest aspects of themselves, to come into the right relationship with the natural world and the interconnected planet that we all call home.
As psychotherapists, the task is to hold space for our clients, to work with them through their challenges, to provide hope for something new, a vision of a future which holds promise. Given the magnitude of uncertainties and transitions humanity is now undergoing due to climate and socioeconomic changes, we recognize that this is a particularly challenging time. The purpose of this course is to nurture in practitioners a more expanded awareness of that which can be replenishing and regenerative— that which can be considered the sacred. In the sessions, our guides will offer simple ceremonial and healing practices, helping you to develop right relationship with luminous and other allies from the natural world who can serve as resources to you in your life and work. The teachings are those of the Beauty Way, prioritising joy, pleasure, and awe in a world currently dominated by trauma and shadow aspects.
FULL PROGRAMME
Tuesday 3 May 2022 – 19:00-21:00 BST
Module 1: Coming Back into Right Relations
We are all indigenous to the Earth, and indigenous wisdom reminds us that the universe conspires on our behalf when we are in right relationship with it. More than ever, in a time of environmental upheaval and socioeconomic transition, it is imperative that we come back into right relationship. In this first module, you will begin to be introduced to a variety of tools that will support you to do so, to evolve your consciousness, and to break free of shadow influences.

Module 2: Cultivating Luminous and Other Allies
In this module, you will learn more about coming into right relations by cultivating right relationships with the animal, plant, and mineral kingdoms, the elementals, and the luminous beings. You will learn to call upon their wisdom and guidance in your personal life and work, and in the process, (re)discover you are not alone, have never been alone, and that you have allies and guardians on the path.

Module 3: The Art of Dreaming the World into Being
Many indigenous traditions worldwide have understood that what we consider to be “reality” is a projection, an out-picturing of our inner landscape, the beliefs we hold, and that there is nothing inherently true about the beliefs that create our reality. To consciously change external reality means therefore, to alter the “internal map” and landscape, and to be willing to step into a new reality. This module will provide a framework and tools for the art of “dreaming the world into being.” You will uncover your current “dream” and the beliefs on which it is built, and help refine “the dream” toward one that will be nourishing to you and all our relations, humans and non-humans.

Module 4: Harmonising Our Stories, Cultivating Lightness
We are vaster than any of the personal histories that we carry. In this module, we will continue to utilise the transformational element of Fire to let go of limiting stories as readily as a serpent sheds her skin. You will be introduced to the shamanic understanding of self-sorcery, generational and societal binds, and explore how to mitigate these forms of toxic self-sabotage. Besides the limiting stories, we also have personal, societal, and ancestral gifts that are asking to be brought through and that can serve us and our communities. By learning to bring the gifts forward, we harmonise the influences of the negative binds.

Module 5: Utilising the Imaginal World to Co-Create Reality
In this module, you will learn to utilise the power of imagination to co-create your lives and the world in the direction of your aspirations. Imagination is the conduit between your higher mind and physical mind. It is the pipeline through which your higher mind communicates with you. You will learn to utilise your imagination to receive communication from your higher mind. Also, to apply the communication to your lives so that they may be more reflective of your passion, excitement, joy, and preferences.
