Spirituality in a Fractured World is a 5 day exploration designed to support you in reconnecting with yourself and developing inner resilience in the face of global unrest, disconnection, and strife.

This exploration will help you uncover the openness, strength, and compassion the world so desperately needs right now and discover how spirituality can help heal our fractured world.

The explorations will consist of recorded teachings by Hameed Ali and Karen Johnson, founders of the Diamond Approach followed by live online inquiry  facilitated by DA teachers Breda Perrem IAHIP and John Smalenskas B.Sc.

My name is Brian Burleigh. I am a fully accredited member of IAHIP.

I am a loyal student of Byron Katies since 2010. I have completed many of her intensive training seminars including “The School for the Work”, her “No-body” intensive workshop and her silent retreat workshops. I have been facilitating monthly workshops for the last 2 years.

Katies tools support and deepen the connection with the core conditions of Carl Rogers. On the surface, Katies tools are a solution focused therapy but on a deeper level, her tools bring a lot of clarity to the process of transferrance and counter transferrance.  Katies tools anchor the therapist into presence with gentle simplicity where genuine empathy and congruence can flow. Katie is an excellent teacher of Psychotherapy.

Katies experience of the mind, body and soul can greatly elevate the therapist who is open to growth in their own life process, both professionally and personally.

Please feel free to contact me on my mobile number if you have any queries, please contact me directly on 0858324775.

Yours,

Brian

A GREEN GOLD SCARAB

Mathew Mather, PhD

Mathew will recount and elaborate Jung’s scarab synchronicity. This includes an amplification of mythic significances by sharing images from ancient Egyptian mythology. In the spirit of ‘sticking to the image’, he will then elaborate a unique perspective by exploring the colour ‘green-gold’ for Jung, in terms of the notion of the anima mundi. As we shall witness, a perspective emerges in that Jung’s ‘green-gold scarab’ can be considered a symbol of pivotal significance for his life-myth, aligned with his belief in the immanent Turning of an Age. Resonances to our times, with reference especially to deep ecology, will also be touched on.

Mathew Mather is a graduate of the University of Essex, where he specialised in Jung and Alchemy. He is the course director of the Certificate in Jungian Psychology with Art Therapy and the postgraduate MA in Art, Psyche and the Creative Imagination. Mathew regularly presents at international conferences and is a guest lecturer at ISAP, Zurich.

YogaSOMATICS was founded by Ateeka whose work has been inspired by Continuum Movement founder, the late Emily Conrad, Gestalt psychotherapist Ruella Frank, Danish spiritual teachers, Jes Bertelsen and Madhurima Rigtrup and is currently a student of Helen Gamborg, author of the “Invisible Aspects of Healing”, inspired by Bob Moor’s teachings about the subtle body, energy medicine and healing.

YogaSOMATICS is a contemporary blend of ancient yoga and modern somatics. It is an experiential bodywork practice using sensing and deep listening to make inner contact with oneself and the energetic body. The practice offers spaces of containment and exploration through aware movements, breathing, relaxation, mindfulness, meditation and contact bodywork. It is a return to connect to one’s own bio energy, through slow and subtle movement in a first-person relational experience.

It is a non-competitive, non-linear practice which has been designed to align with one’s own natural rhythm, honouring each individual to make contact with your own embodied wisdom; and may appeal to those who are new to yoga.

Term 4: Bio Movements, Expansion and Deepening is the last part of this online programme for 2021. Some pieces we will touch into will be YogaSOMATICS Restorative Gestures, exploring expansion, space, opening up and the “Psoas” the muscle of the soul.

Previous participants have described the practice as “powerful”, “transcendent,“an exploratory space” and “a sensitive body practice”.

Date/Time: Tuesday 9th November from 6-7pm online, for 5 consecutive weeks. Recording of each class will be available for a 7-day playback.

Investment: €45 per term. Reduced fee as Deirdre currently in training of 250H YogaSOMATICS course.

CPD: Certs will be provided after each term for 5 hours per term.

Suitability: Suitable for all levels. If you have any injuries/illness or if you are pregnant, please contact Deirdre at livingroomyoga1@gmail.com to discuss in advance of booking.
