heartfulllife - with Deborah Jay-Lewin
Findhorn
8-10 March 2019
An Open Inquiry
Fee: £160
Early Bird: £135 if paid in full by 8th Feb, 2019
Friday 7-9:30pm; Sat 10:30am-5:30pm and Sun 10:30am-5pm
There are plenty of reasons to guard your heart these days. You don’t have to look far to see the inhabitants of this earth are troubled; on a screen, down the street, through the window of a train. Then again, almost every day I see or hear something that makes me smile, feel peaceful or excited about the innovative times I am living in.
What is it that makes a difference? Is it perception? Is it how you are feeling? Or how you feel about your feelings?
Come spend the weekend on the Open Floor using movement consciously, to liberate your body and become the most tender, inspiring, engaged being you can humanly be.
“The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe.”
― Joanna Macy
14 hours of an Embodied Movement Practice required.

Embracing Change - with Deborah Jay-Lewin & Bettina Jespersen
Findhorn
17-23 August 2019
Tiered Price: TBC
Saturday 18 August, registration 11am-1230pm
Friday 24 August, last session is in the afternoon, followed by a celebration dinner. Friday overnight and Saturday lunch is included in the package!
Change can be so unsettling, even though it is the only predictable thing there is. Some changes we resist, others we welcome. In the current planetary climate, we are called to dance deeper into our own creative selves; to be honest about our vulnerability so we can access our equilibrium and strength.
Do you contract with the effort to control change? When the going gets tough, do you find ways to avoid or escape? What enables you to soften, keep focused, release and let go, expand and connect with effortless synchronicity? Are you open to the possibility of greater equanimity, whatever the external circumstances might be?
This week we will use Open Floor Movement Practice to bring this inquiry to the dance floor as we literally embody the physicality of change. Open Floor anchors us in our bodies and engages us in lively, enlightening movement conversations with ourselves and each other.
Pre-requisite: At least one class of an Embodied Movement Practice (eg Open Floor, 5Rhythms® or Movement Medicine). Findhorn Foundation Experience Week not required.
This workshop counts as 30 hours for the Open Floor Teacher Training.
Watch Deborah explain more about the workshop here.
Workshop costs includes all programme content, 7 nights accommodation, full board and refreshments.
