THE NEED TO LIVE A FULL LIFE

  • To live a full and abundant life - one where we may start to realise our intrinsic fullness of being - is our true birthright.

However, actually to embrace this state with any consistency, is seldom easy, since generally we have been subject to all sorts of conditioning forces which  have  wounded us, distorted our perceptions and made us believe that  we are less than who we truly are.

 

Many of us have taken on restricting beliefs, values and attitudes which   in turn have limited our capacity to enjoy and truly celebrate life or deal with its inevitable vicissitudes wisely. We may bring art into some of the things we do, but tend not to bring it into our  actual  daily living and often go about our days very unconsciously, failing to engage in life with sufficient authenticity.

RETRIEVING OUR LOST ABUNDANCE

And today, as a species, we are reaping the effects of this. Indeed, as we enter the twenty-first century, and are confronted by so many crises, I  believe that we are all  being challenged to  change how we see the world and how we actually live in it, and that this pull is propelling us to try to live with greater awareness and abundance .

 

Therefore, what I want to do with you during the time we will spend together, is help you decide what shifts you want to make– what can  bring more wholeness, success, effectiveness and balance into your life – and then assist you to realise these aims. 

 

  • I  will try to help you do some of the things you do well, even better, and assist you in areas which  you may find difficult and problematic.

WHO THE COURSE IS FOR?

This course, which may be done over five, seven or ten days, depending upon what is required and how deep one is willing to go, is  essentially for  professional people who  feel there is something lacking in their lives and want to make changes, but are not sure how exactly to implement them.

  • They want to speed up their growth and development rather than spend years in therapy!
!

ISSUES THAT MAY SURFACE

For some people, it may require that they try to balance materiality with spirituality, or that they address why they dislike themselves or examine what they can do to become physically and emotionally fitter. Some may need to focus more on their ‘being’ and be less obsessed with having to be active all the time.

 

Others may need to look at their attitudes towards money! Often in this work, people realise that there may be a more mystical side to their nature and that if they were to spend more time inquiring who they really are and what they really want in life, that they would feel much more fulfilled.

  • Many have discovered that there is a strong connection between simplifying their lives and  feeling happier, and that responding to a pull to ‘downsize’, may, if done artfully, result in an ‘upsizing’ in terms of  their discovering a greater quality of life.

LIVING WITH HEART

Living a more  abundant life is also intimately connected with living more from our hearts and less from our heads, or, more accurately, allowing  our hearts to infuse our thinking processes. When love can infuse our logic, we are much more likely to make more informed decisions  that work for us and also be much better placed to face the ‘darker side’ of life and not try to ignore or dismiss it, if it surfaces. Our hearts are our core.

 

They can heal and transform us and during the time we spend together, I will help you bring more of their many qualities into more areas of your life, so you may come to realise that your difficulties need not take you away from your Abundance, but if related to in a new way, may help lead you more deeply into it!

THE KINDS OF SUPPORT I OFFER

To access this new place – or to live a more expansive life - requires  many different kinds and levels, of support. As someone who has worked in the business world (I have been a Stockbroker and Organizational consultant), has lived in different cultures , has experience of different professions,  has competed professionally in different sports, and who is a Psychotherapist, Life Coach and Spiritual Educator, I feel qualified to help people in many different areas. In this work, nothing is excluded. It may be that someone is still carrying deep unresolved memories around violence which need releasing, or that they want to explore new ways of handling stress.

 

Perhaps a person has issues around sex or money that block them. Perhaps one fears success or failure or death, or has a difficulty forgiving, or one wants to be physically and emotionally in ‘better shape’. Perhaps there is a desire to deepen one’s poetic or one’s intellectual attributes or one wants to learn to meditate or  discover how to enjoy closer friendships.  Many want to become more cognizant of the ‘laws’ defining financial or spiritual abundance. 

 

  • There is no limit to what we may explore. It is up to each person to decide what they want out of the time we spend together.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARRIVE?

You will arrive the day before the course starts, where you will  be met by me at  Palma airport, and will be driven  to my  very simple  little ‘Zen-like’ farmhouse, set deep in the Majorcan countryside. It is small but comfortable, and is filled with Sacred Art from different cultures. The food you receive will be excellent Majorcan cuisine, cooked by a local chef.  Maid and laundry service will be available at all times. 

 

That evening (before the course starts), we will explore how best to structure the time we will be spending together. (If you wish, you may come two days early to acclimatise yourself to Majorca and you will only be charged for board and lodging.)

STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE

Throughout your time with me, you will have my direct, full-on attention to your unfolding process from the moment you get up, to the moment you go to bed..  There will be a set structure each day, which will begin with meditation before breakfast.

A typical day might take the following form.

  • 8.30-9.00 Meditation.(Voluntary)
  • 9.00-9.40. Breakfast
  • 9.40-10.00 Discussing how we structure our day.
  • 10.00-12.00 Morning session.
  • 12.00-12.30 Break.
  • 12.30-1.30 Listening to a  relevant lecture.
  • 1.30.- 2.15 Lunch.
  • 2.15-3.15 Siesta.
  • 3.15- 5.15 Walking, bicycling, exercising (tennis?), visiting a Spa, further meditation.
  • 5.15 – 7.15 Afternoon session ( on a chosen topic)
  • 7.15- 8.00 Dinner.
  • 8.00-10.00 Evening session (on a chosen topic).

Some people may want more structure, others less. Some people may want more time  for meals and relaxation, others less. It is different for everyone. While I may point out certain principles that I feel are central to the living of a full life, I will never  ‘lay down the law’. My main focus is always on helping people discover their way!

Two things are  important : 1) that in coming to stay with me, you temporarily leave your old, familiar reality  behind, and start entering a new or ‘deeper reality’ pregnant with new possibilities, and 2) that you  come to  do this in Majorca.  

 

  • This island is a special place, has considerable healing properties, and will play an important role in your unfolding journey.
