This course will help you learn of the background, theoretical underpinnings, and practical implications of seeing clients outdoors. You will gain knowledge of clinical vignettes and explore how you might consider integrating nature more into your practice. It will be held fully online but will be very interactive and include group discussion, breakout rooms, and nature-based exercises in participants’ own gardens.

This Course has now been run 5 times and has had great feedback.  I take participant feedback very seriously and continually look to improve the content and delivery. 

Course Structure:

• This unique course is developed to allow participants to engage in a very interesting and blended learning experience.
  
  

• It is designed as a highly interactive small group training which will include periods of outdoor time.
  
  

• Participants will engage with natural environments local to them during the course – this may be a garden, local park, country road etc.
  
  
• Further outdoor experiences will be encouraged between workshops

Check out my article in the Spring Edition of Inside Out or on the Nature Therapy section of my website for some insight into the theory and practice of working outdoors. While the article is more academic than the workshop, it will provide some background into this growing area of practice. 

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.

We will explore different facets of our humanity and spiritual nature, look at how we are responding to and being impacted by the world, and discover how the key to outer transformation lies within. 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.

“The Diamond Approach is a superb combination of some of the best of modern Western psychology with ancient (and spiritual) wisdom. I recommend the Diamond Approach as probably the most balanced of the widely available spiritual psychologies/therapies” 

KenWilbur from the cover of “The Unfolding Now”

“A masterpiece of integration of both the spiritual and psychotherapeutic traditions which is essential material for anyone concerned with helping others to develop a deeper sense of personhood or to liberate themselves from the repetition compulsion to suffer  that defines the neurotic condition”

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.
