The capacity to heal is part of the gift of life. Every mother who kisses her child's bump or bruise better, knows this instinctively. We are all healers.

This workshop is for those who want to enhance their natural healing abilities and develop the capacity to make the healing processes they use more conscious. There will be discussion, practice and a unique opportunity to be attuned into beginning levels of the Biame Era Reiki system.

Elizabeth's down to earth approach is supported by her long standing spiritual practice. This practice also contributes to her deep understanding of fundamental healing processes.

28th October 2006
What REALLY Matters

A workshop for finding out what you truly want in life

In today’s world there are intense pressures on people from an early age to know what they will do with their lives.

They come from parents, peers and the cultures in which we live. Special challenges are created through strong media images showing what others are doing. Added to this, we often have little time to reflect, so we may find it difficult even to start to think about what is important for us personally, what is true for us, what is in our hearts, and whether what others are urging or modelling is actually what we want for ourselves.

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to explore what matters most for you, how you want to spend the rest of your life and what “living true to you” actually means. The final question to answer will be “What will I do with my life from now on? The workshop is an opportunity to grapple with these issues in the company of others who want to do the same.

The workshop facilitator, Elizabeth Mellor, has lived her life following her heart and passion. In the process she has helped countless others live authentic lives. Having explored deeply many of the realms available to humans – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual – she offers down-to-earth guidance to others who are seeking how to live the full expression of their “inner being”.

Only you can do what is necessary. Yet, in the company of others and with Elizabeth’s wisdom and love, you can discover, affirm and reaffirm “What Matters Most”. (½ day)

Venue:
31 Hobson Crescent, Thorndon, Wellington


Time: 9.00 – 12.30 (Half Day workshop)

Fee: $60.00

28th October 2006
Relationships

RELATIONSHIPS: Happy Healthy Relationships
(a workshop for young adults)

Being in relationships is part of the human condition. From the moment of our conception, we are connected to someone else, and throughout our lives we have multiple relationships.

Some are distant, some intense, some complex, some satisfying, some upsetting, some predictable and some are at times very confusing.

Perhaps, then, it is hardly surprising that learning to manage the many different demands and styles of the connections we have with others is a life-time project. Fortunately, however, taking advantage of other people’s learning can speed up the process enormously.

Come to this workshop and find out. It is for those who would like to know more, and those who want some “handy hints” about the relationship “jungle” out there.

Areas that may be covered include:
• intimate relationships – staying connected through intensity
• breaking up – how to manage so everyone comes out ok
• just being friends with the opposite sex: Is it possible?
• living together – how to make the shift to sharing our lives with someone else
• managing work demands and having an intimate partner
• sex and intimacy: are they the same? and if not what are the differences?
• arguing constructively
• and more.

Elizabeth Mellor is the co-author of four books on how to deal with life’s challenges at different ages. She has worked with young adults for over 35 years and knows their concerns and challenges. She is very approachable, practical and down-to-earth, an ideal person from whom to learn about the thorny questions that are part of the workshop. (½ day)

Venue:
31 Hobson Crescent, Thorndon, Wellington


Time: 2.00 – 5.30 (Half day workshop)

Fee: $60.00
(Those unable to afford the fee may apply for a reduction.
10% discount for Network members.)

Creating the Life YOU Want

Turning fantasies into realities

Is it possible to have it all: financial security, prosperity, a fantastic job and vocation, loving relationships, family and a sense of fulfilment ease and satisfaction in your life?

Modern science now points increasingly to the connection between thought and bodily outcomes, and how thoughts can influence the future. More and more is also now known about the role of fantasy in creating reality. Of course, each new discovery enables us to use our creativity so it works even better for us.

This workshop is an opportunity to learn how to harness some of these natural processes and create the life you want.

Workshop participants will:
• have time to explore the principles connecting thought and creation
• be introduced to the creative release process which helps harness the power of the mind and fantasy
• have time to practise the processes and
• have the opportunity for discussion and questions.

Elizabeth Mellor has spent many years learning how to harness the creative potential of the mind. She has been interested in methods that really work and do not require “belief”. She and her husband, Ken, have helped countless people to shape their lives. What they teach is natural, easy and practical. Their strategies help people to harness their natural capacity for manifestation, which in turn enables them increasingly to take charge of their futures, and to live in fulfilling, satisfying and dynamic ways.

Venue:
The Mercy Centre 15 Guilford Tce , Thorndon, Wellington


Time: 9.30 – 4.30 (One day workshop)

Fee: $120.00
(Those unable to afford the fee may apply for a reduction.

30th October 2006
Parenting Talk

Saying NO - Setting Limits with Children from Two to Twelve

Parents want their children to be happy. They want them to have what they want and to enjoy their lives. So, saying no is often a very hard thing to do, especially if the children are upset about this. However, it is also really clear to most parents that they need to do this.

In this talk the following areas will be addressed:

  • how to work out what limits are appropriate according to the age of the child
  • how to say no
  • how to decide on consequences so that they are meaningful to the child
  • how to deal with the reaction of the child to the limits and consequences
  • how to work out what behaviours need to be modified or to be encouraged so that the children grow up to be happy, strong adults

 

Venue:
Brooklyn School


Time: 7.30 pm – 9.00 pm (Public Talk)

Fee: $10.00

2nd November 2006 -
Dealing with Compassion Fatigue

Most people work in the helping professions because they care. However, the daily exposure to pain, trauma and suffering has a cost, a cost that is now recognised and called “compassion fatigue”.

Compassion fatigue is what happens when people are worn out emotionally from the work they do with others. When well established, people become emotionally depleted, increasingly incapable of acting with tenderness and find it enormously difficult even to contemplate offering a helping hand to others. Their emotional resilience has disappeared under the load of too much time in the trenches dealing with human suffering. Compassion fatigue is more than burn out. It is the result of repeated exposure to and engagement with people’s mental, emotional and physical trauma. It is a kind of RSI (repetition strain injury) of the heart.

This workshop is designed to help participants to:
• become informed about compassion fatigue
• identify its key features
• manage its here-and-now manifestations
• recognise the early signs and
• learn effective strategies for taking care of themselves.

Venue:
31 Hobson Crescent, Thorndon, Wellington


Time: 9.30 – 4.30 (One day workshop)

Fee: $120.00

For Bookings and Information please email us.

2nd November 2006 - 7.30 p.m.
Being at PEACE with Ourselves

This public talk is about how to develop a state of deep, internal peace.

In today’s challenging and often troubled world this is a priceless quality to have. Being at peace with ourselves can enable us to live in a way that not only supports our own happiness and well being but is likely to promote peace in others and in the world around us.

Venue:
McKenzie Room,
St John’s Conference Centre,
Cnr Willis and Dixon Streets,
Wellington

Fee: There is no charge for the evening.
Donations to help towards costs are appreciated.
Bring a cushion (chairs will be available).

For Bookings and Information please email us.

4th and 5th November 2006
Living Peace in the Modern World

How can we manage living in the world today? So little seems certain. When we are presented with daily images of death, destruction and suffering, so little can seem peaceful and life affirming.

How can we possibly establish inner peace when such events are raging around us? Even if we are not living in the midst of them, we are always deeply affected by their impact. Elizabeth has spent many years working with people caught on the edge of the precipice of life, where surviving is a moment by moment issue. During the workshop she will share some of the insights and approaches she and others have found helpful.


The areas she will cover include:
• realising that peace is always possible
• understanding the great intensity of real peacefulness
• embracing, not escaping pain
• releasing trauma as a pathway to peace
• encouraging peacefulness in others
• bringing light into the darkness
• finding the deep peace and aliveness that is always within
• knowing that peacefulness begins in our own hearts and homes.

Elizabeth’s approach is optimistic, practical and realistic. She will teach simple yet profound techniques for promoting peace and also for managing the less peaceful aspects of our lives. Accepting the reality of a sometimes less than peaceful world, she supports in very practical ways the peaceful, powerful approach to personal and social change. Meditation forms a central part of her teachings and will enable people to leave with wonderful tools they can use on
their own or with others.

Venue:
31 Hobson Crescent, Thorndon, Wellington


Time - 9.30 - 4.30 (Weekend Workshop)

Fee: $220.00 for both days or $120.00 for each day
(Those unable to afford the fee may apply for a reduction.
10% discount for Network members.)
