Back to Calendar	INTRODUCTION TO BIODYNAMIC MASSAGE with Monika Schaible These one-day workshops provide an opportunity to become acquainted with some basic principles of Biodynamic Massage as taught and practised at Chiron. Biodynamic Massage employs a variety of techniques, from within an holistic framework, to meet an individual uniquely and as a whole person. While working on the physical level, the massage therapist takes in and is moved by the intricate interplay of body, emotion and mind as they interweave in response to the touch. In order for a process of this nature to become possible, the first task is to create a sufficiently safe and open environment, to start from where we each are, physically, emotionally and mentally. You will have an opportunity to explore your capacity for using intuition through your hands. The main goal will be to balance the autonomic nervous system to relieve anxieties, stress and tension. We therefore invite you to bring yourself as you are, and please wear loose and comfortable clothing. This event will be offered twice during the year - possible dates to choose from: INTRODUCTION TO BIODYNAMIC MASSAGE 1 Date: Sat. 27 September 2008 Times: 10am - 5.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 90 The fee for this course is £ 90.

Back to Calendar	Family Constellations Therapy based on the approach of Bert Hellinger with Alun Reynolds “What is Family Constellations Therapy? Family Constellations Therapy, pioneered by psychotherapist and philosopher Bert Hellinger and his colleagues, has become increasingly recognised as an astounding, powerful and far-reaching approach to finding lasting resolutions in cases which before had seemed beyond reach. It brings to light our deep interconnectedness with family and community and leads to a deep experiential understanding of primordial love at the heart of all kinds of mental, psychosomatic and bodily suffering. Once that love is freed from unconscious entanglements dating back one, two or even three generations, it becomes a force for profound healing.” (Dr Albrecht Mahr). What is an entanglement? An entanglement is where one family member follows the fate of an earlier family member. When to do a Family Constellation? When one or more of the following is evident: • an important life event has occurred (such as early deaths or separations of parents or siblings, exclusion or expulsion of a family member, early hospitalisation, major accidents or illnesses or disablements, complications during childbirth, adoptions, abortions ) • persistent body symptoms (such as obesity, anorexia, asthma, panic attacks, ulcer colitis, cancer) • persistent emotional symptoms (e.g. rage, depression, not belonging, isolation) • persistent behavioural symptoms (such as addictions, accident proneness, eating disorders ) • there are patterns that seem resistant to change, • one feels stuckness or weighed down in life, not able to be oneself • there is a persistent sticking point in individual therapy • there is an issue that frightens or plagues us • when couples first get together or pregnant women before the child is born (preventative constellations). Basic Principles that will be experienced and practised throughout the workshop include: • The healing potential of what is, rather than what we would like it to be • The group as a containing and healing circle • The power of embodied presence • Blind love and loyalty versus enlightened love and loyalty • Solution orientation rather that problem orientation • Lightness, joyfulness and relaxation at the heart of reality • Honouring and integrating body psychotherapy and other psychotherapeutic approaches • Reconciliation of dead members of the family system • Healing through our ancestors • Practising solutions in everyday life Will I have an opportunity to work? • the workshop provides a space for all participants to work • many wishing to constellate their current family or family of origin will be able to do so • our soul is also moved in serving others as a representative • being in the group witnessing the work often touches us in a deep and healing way This weekend will be offered five times during the year - possible dates to choose from: Family Constellations Therapy 1 Dates: 11/12 October 2008 Times: 9.30am - 6pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 180 The fee for this course is £ 180.

Back to Calendar	WORKING WITH ILLNESS IN COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY Who lives in the symptom? Who wants to get rid of it? with Michael Soth Date: Fri. 24 October 2008 Times: 6.30pm - 9.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 50 This evening is designed as a brief, but fairly comprehensive overview of the many ways in which we can approach physical and psychosomatic symptoms psychologically, as they present themselves in counselling and psychotherapy practice. As officially they do not fall within our ‘job description’, the client’s physical problems and illnesses pose some tricky questions for us: - is there ‘meaning’ in illness ? - does the client want to know about it ? - and if so, how can we find out about it ? - and if we do, will it make a difference to the symptoms ? The field - including the complementary therapies - consists of a plethora of approaches and paradigms in pursuit of ‘health’, and all deserve to have some input into our therapeutic response to somatised and somatic symptoms. Based on the notion that “nobody can be wrong all the time” (Ken Wilber), we will find that they potentially complement each other and there is some purpose and meaning in each of them. As an introduction to approaching the symptom relationally and holistically, I will suggest a simple categorisation of the many relevant approaches, in an attempt to expand Freud’s ‘talking cure’ into a 21st century body/mind ‘relating cure’. I will distinguish eight ways of relating to the symptom, drawing on a wide variety of often contradictory therapeutic concepts and techniques. This evening will help you orient yourself in how to bring a bodymind perspective to your clients’ symptoms without stretching beyond the psychological foundation of your therapeutic approach and work. The fee for this course is £ 50. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £16 by 2/10/2008. The remaining fee of £ 34 is payable by 16/10/2008.
Back to Calendar	INTRODUCTION TO BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY A two-day experiential workshop with Cedric Daetwyler Studies show that during interpersonal communication only 7% of a message is transmitted verbally, while the remaining 93% is communicated non-verbally. And yet we still prioritise words over non-verbal signals. This experiential workshop is designed to introduce participants to Body Psychotherapy through a series of exercises and theoretical discussions. We will pay attention the relationship or lack of connection between our body and mind. We will learn how to sharpen our perception of the subtle messages that our body gives out through our emotional and sensory systems. Using the dynamic of the group, we will explore our ways of relating to ourselves and to others, paying particular attention to how we engage and/or disconnect from our own body/mind system and those of others when we interact. Members of the group often mirror the many known and unknown faces of our inner world. In being aware of this, we will be able to discover patterns in our own behaviour and increase our self-awareness. Facilitation from the group leader and feedback from group members will be conducted in an environment respecting safety, attention, acceptance of each member. This workshop is open to everybody interested in discovering a more holistic approach to psychotherapy. This event will be offered three times during the year - possible dates to choose from: INTRODUCTION TO BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY 1 Dates: 8/9 November 2008 Times: 10am - 5.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 90 The fee for this course is £ 90.

Back to Calendar	To be or not to be a mother with Sheila O’Sullivan and Caroline Duggan Date: Sun. 16 November 2008 Times: 10am - 5.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 90 As women we may or may not be mothers. As therapists we have found that ‘to be or not to be a mother’ is a question that frequently preoccupies our female clients. Each of us has been a daughter to a mother and from that experience will have constellated an internalised relational position to a real or imagined child. For those without children this may contribute ambiguity to the decision to be or not to be. For those who are mothers, we may be in the words of Rozika Parker be ‘Torn in Two’ as we negotiate between our loyalty to ourselves as individuated beings and the love of our children and our desire to fulfil their needs. Further, the status of mother or not, can seem like a powerful dividing line between women themselves. In this workshop, from our own stories, we wish to explore how our experience of growing up female shapes our current relationship to our own biology, our mothers, and our relationships with other women and our real or imagined children. Do we feel fulfilled or unfulfilled, depleted or energised in the being or not being a mother? Each of these experiences will be embodied and will affect how we relate to ourselves as women, therapists and clients. The fee for this course is £ 90. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £30 by 25/10/2008. The remaining fee of £ 60 is payable by 8/11/2008.
Back to Calendar	Exploring the Mind in the Body with Roz Carroll We are living in exciting times. Radical breakthroughs in grasping the complex physiological basis of mind are emerging. For this seminar, Roz has drawn on body psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, holistic theories and recent neuroscientific research. You will explore both ‘hard’ facts and ‘soft’ processes to deepen our understanding of the body. Each evening will focus on the psychological function of a different body system through experiential exercises, theoretical input and discussion generated by the different perspectives of the participants. There will be a syllabus, reading list and handouts given to those who enrol. Seminar 1: Development Date: Fri. 21 November 2008 Times: 6.30pm - 9.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 50 Neuroscience, psychoanalysis and body psychotherapy all agree that patterns laid down in utero, infancy and childhood carry on into adulthood in the form of personality and its embodiment in physiological structure. This seminar provides an overview and introduction to the major themes of the course. The fee for this course is £ 50. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £16 by 30/10/2008. The remaining fee of £ 34 is payable by 13/11/2008. Seminar 2: Bones Date: Fri. 12 December 2008 Times: 6.30pm - 9.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 50 The skeleton is our framework. It mediates our relationship to gravity, a constant force affecting our lives. It effects and is a reflection of our capacity to co-ordinate, balance, and articulate in spatial, perceptual and conceptual fields. It contributes to the organisation of our thinking. The fee for this course is £ 50. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £16 by 20/11/2008. The remaining fee of £ 34 is payable by 4/12/2008. Seminar 3: Muscle Date: Fri. 16 January 2009 Times: 6.30pm - 9.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 50 Muscle enables us to act and react, to reveal or inhibit. Muscle is the convergence zone for habits, skills, and emotional learning, in other words, conscious and unconscious intention. Patterns and textures in muscle tone embody conflicts and resources which tell the unique story of an individual. The fee for this course is £ 50. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £16 by 25/12/2008. The remaining fee of £ 34 is payable by 8/1/2009. Seminar 4: Fluids Date: Fri. 13 February 2009 Times: 6.30pm - 9.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 50 Blood, lymph, and cellular fluid are the stream which carries our feelings through the body. The quality and intensity of our feelings depends both on the biochemical content of fluids (hormones, peptides, antibodies) and how connective tissue encysts, contains or disperses the fluids. The fee for this course is £ 50. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £16 by 22/1/2009. The remaining fee of £ 34 is payable by 5/2/2009. Seminar 5: The Senses and the Skin Date: Fri. 20 March 2009 Times: 6.30pm - 9.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 50 Via the senses and the skin we have contact with the world around us. How we transform, are nourished by, block or distort the world is intimately related to how we use our senses and our skin. The senses are dynamic and the interplay between them can create or reduce our sense of ‘depth of field’ in life. The fee for this course is £ 50. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £16 by 26/2/2009. The remaining fee of £ 34 is payable by 12/3/2009. Seminar 6: The Nervous System Date: Fri. 24 April 2009 Times: 6.30pm - 9.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 50 The autonomic nervous system, a key link between the internal organs and the brain, determines changes in arousal/relaxation and where energy is directed in the body. It articulates patterns relating to survival in both the short-term (flight, denial, aggression etc) and the long-term (processing, absorption, releasing). The fee for this course is £ 50. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £16 by 2/4/2009. The remaining fee of £ 34 is payable by 16/4/2009.
Back to Calendar	FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS - WORK AND CAREER with Yishai Gaster Hidden dynamics in business and organisations What is the connection between family dynamics and difficulties surrounding the work place and vocations?

Back to Calendar	Belly Dance Therapy for Women with Ruth Cowan In ancient times one of the places women danced together was in the harems, the women’s quarters. Apart from entertaining men, they used the dance to share, entertain and support each other through their lives - whether it was a happy or sad occasion, whether they were in the pain of childbirth or just wanting to dance as light entertainment to pass the time.These two workshops can be taken together or separately as an exploration of the pelvis and belly in belly dance. With awareness we will explore how it is to focus on moving our hips, pelvises, bellies and bottoms. The pelvis has a vast reservoir of energy and creativity within it. The dance is about reclaiming our power as women, which includes our sexuality. It is about celebrating and being proud of our bodies exactly how they are now, and having fun! We will learn some techniques of belly dance to help bring our centre of gravity nearer to the earth, making this dance a potentially grounding, enlivening and empowering experience. The session will include a sharing before and after the dance to give an opportunity for us to check-in and to give feedback on our experience to make it relevant to ourselves and our lives.These workshops are for women at any level of fitness, shape, size or age, timid or assertive, confident or shy, proud or ashamed of their body who would like to experience a taste of belly dance. Please bring a long loose skirt to wear and a scarf to tie around your hips. This event will be offered three times during the year - possible dates to choose from: Belly Dance Therapy for Women 1 Date: Sat. 29 November 2008 Times: 11am - 1.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 40 The fee for this course is £ 40.

TONING THE CHAKRAS & TUNING THE SOUL with Sue Law Date: Sun. 30 November 2008 Times: 10am - 5.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 90 This workshop will introduce you to the healing power of sound. We will play and use our voices with age-old toning techniques which tune-up our bodies with their vibrations, drumming up new or buried energy and grounding us more fully in our selves. I will be using techniques I have learned from two singers and teachers, Sarah Warwick and Chris James, to re-connect to the delight of using our singing voices together, to create pure sound and harmony. We will warm-up our instruments - our bodies - with simple movement and exercise designed to free our energies and promote deeper fuller breathing. I will teach a simple and enjoyable method of balancing the chakkras with sound which you will be able to practice giving and receiving . As a body psychotherapist, I am particularly interested in this unprovocative, non-invasive and often exquisitely pleasurable variation on the use of touch to release energy blocks. The fee for this course is £ 90. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £30 by 8/11/2008. The remaining fee of £ 60 is payable by 22/11/2008. ENERGY FLOW AND CHAKRAS with Bernd Eiden Date: Sun. 22 March 2009 Times: 10am - 5.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 90 This day is for those with interest/ some experience in chakra work. It’s a day to be with yourself inside your body. We will use meditation and music to get in touch with our deeper sources and to learn some more means of maintaining a sense of wellbeing and connectedness to our essence - the most important quality to have when working with other people. We will make contact with our Chakras and use this to facilitate an internal energy activity and learn to expand with our energies, while at the same time remaining deeply anchored within ourselves. While psychotherapy works more on psychic defences and mental patterns of behaviour, this way of working tunes in to our intuition and to a different level beyond words and addresses spirituality, healing and energy work, an area which has been only touched upon in the basic training. This is largely an experiential day, not a training day as such.Please apply informally if you want to enrol as places are limited. The presented material is developed from Bob Moore’s teaching. The fee for this course is £ 90. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £30 by 28/2/2009. The remaining fee of £ 60 is payable by 14/3/2009.
Back to Calendar	Somatic dialogue in the therapeutic relationship with Tom Warnecke Dates: 25/26 April 2009 Times: 10am - 5.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 190 Winnicott’s notion of ‘psyche dwelling in soma’ and Damasio’s assertion that ‘the mind is our bodies captive audience’ both hint at the complexities of ‘bodymind’ phenomena. This experiential workshop aims to make these concepts accessible. Sensory-motor functions are central to the dynamics of embodiment. Muscles are sense organs and sensory-motor integration of involuntary muscle gives rise to intentions, facilitates the capacity to communicate and organises expressions of resistance and assertion. Muscular proprioception also plays a crucial role in the intrapsychic dynamics of self-organisation and to the degree of self-cohesiveness and stability of any ‘sense of self’ we experience. The concerted efforts of voluntary and involuntary motor systems embody and express both intrapsychic and interpersonal conflicts. Therapists can utilise their own sensory-motor experience as openings for therapeutic dialogue or as cues to invite, mirror or co-regulate relational tensions. The subtle properties of our involuntary muscular nervous system are also crucial in facilitating “embodied” relationships. In Body Psychotherapy, touch is employed to invite movement, to deepen or relax breathing, to soften or strengthen boundaries, and to release or help contain emotions. But touch is also an essential form of communication - we can speak and listen through our hands. Both therapist and client experience themselves and each other in the sensory experience of their bodies in relationship with the body of the other. Relational sensory-motor activity can manifest as non-verbal somatic dialogue. o How do we recognise involuntary muscular intentions and engage with them? o And how can we utilize and integrate the mutuality and self disclosure inherent to therapeutic touch? This workshop is also suitable for therapists who are not used to working directly with their client’s body and who are open to experiential learning. The fee for this course is £ 190. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £63 by 3/4/2009. The remaining fee of £ 127 is payable by 17/4/2009.
Back to Calendar	Energy and Breath with Monika Schaible Date: Sun. 14 June 2009 Times: 10am - 5.30pm Venue: Eaton Rise Fee: £ 90 We all breathe, but do we experience breathing? With each breath we take in the subtle life force carried to us by the air and that is the same energy, which animates all physical matter. Most of us are breathing unconsciously, unaware of the physical and emotional tensions that distort and cripple free and spontaneous breathing, making us prone to depression, anxiety and reduced energy levels. Slow, deep and conscious breathing allows us to make the best use of the life force that we breathe in with the air. Thus tension is released from the body and calmness returns to the mind, resulting in an uplifted consciousness. We will explore ways of experiencing our life force through movement, sound, meditation and mindfulness of breathing and will look at how to use our new awareness of breath and energy in our work with our clients. For this workshop I will draw from body psychotherapeutic and spiritual concepts. The fee for this course is £ 90. Please register in writing (using the booking form in this brochure), enclosing a non-refundable deposit of £30 by 23/5/2009. The remaining fee of £ 60 is payable by 6/6/2009
