Walking Lightly
with Andrew Cook
An unnatural sense of heaviness in the body is a common experience in Western cultures. This heaviness is not normal in the animal kingdom, and there is a cultural mistake learned early in life that the heels are the proper contact point for motion.
In this talk Andrew will show how the whole musculoskeletal system is NOT well evolved to use the heels, and will give some practical demonstrations of how to re-discover a sense of physical lightness.

Therapeutic Odyssey
with Ian Wright
The Therapeutic Odyssey reminds us that as we embark on a journey, it can be a journey into healing and wholeness, but there are pitfalls on the journey, transference and countertransference, issues with boundary, compassion fatigue, and overly empathic stances can lead us into trouble.

Ian discusses some of these ideas and the practitioners Odyssey.

Using The Rumi Poem “The Guest House” As A Tool For Active Presence
with Joanna Watters
This poem offers the metaphor that living a human life is like running a guest house. Where thoughts, feelings and sensations arise, just as guests might show up. In this human body mind, The Guest House, sometimes unexpected guests you’d rather hadn’t turned up arrive- a “dark thought”, “a depression”.
In the metaphor our consciousness is likened to the host of the guest house, welcoming all experiences, and letting them be felt in the body, like the host welcomes all the guests and invites them in.
