Emotion is the chief source of all becoming conscious. There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion. C. G. JUNG
Emotions are instinctual reactions to sensory data. If the senses bring in raw information, feelings are the unconscious reaction to this information, and emotions are the way we organize our feelings. Without consciousness, emotions govern our reactions. We may get angry, fall in or out of love, feel depressed or afraid, but these emotions generally arise from the depths of our psyche quite of their own accord. We may choose the way we respond to these emotions, but the feelings have a life of their own.
I believe that ultimately, emotions have a spiritual function as the language of the soul. This language is spoken through the body. We can think of sensations as the words, feelings as the sentences, and emotions as the paragraphs. These building blocks are the primary levels of our experience through which our story unfolds, giving us meaning. Meaning integrates our systems, our felt sense of experiencing the world.
Most therapies focus strongly on emotions. Pervasive feelings of fear, frustration, shame, or anxiety initiate the quest for change and the beginnings of transformation. If we run from these emotions (something that is culturally supported) we run from the very gateway to our transformation. ‘Anodea Judith’.
This workshop provides different way of dealing with feelings and emotions that arise inside of ourselves and this knowledge helps us when working with children and adults.

Colouring Mandalas is based on Susanne F. Fincher’s Book 1 “Colouring Mandalas - For Insight, Healing and Self-Expression.”
Mandalas arise from the compelling human need to know our own inner reality, to align this knowing with our body’s wisdom, and to awaken in ourselves a sense of being with the universe. The word mandala, from Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, translates as “sacred circle.” Making a circle brings order to things. A circle suggests a centre point, I attracts your eye whether it is marked or not. Mandalas given to children, who are in an agitated state, become much more settled once they have done some colouring of the mandala. Mandalas have been used throughout history for spiritual insight, healing, rituals and meditation. There is a rich variety of designs to colour as in the example opposite.
This group is a monthly get together, for 2 ½ hrs. At these meetings people share the mandalas they have completed over the past month. Those people who are interested in starting a group can contact me for further information. A one off cost for materials and a monthly donation. to $10
We encourage you to take self responsibility for your personal development. These weekends offer a person the opportunity to explore issues that are impacting on your everyday life. Many be you feel blocked and feel like you are going around in circles, or you want more peace and joy in your life, you wish to look at changing your perceptions and projections, or explore improving your attitude about self and other, or change your outlook on life, improve your self-worth and self-esteem, learn to dwell less on the negative experiences, or find the shadow figures that operate without your awareness.
These and other issues can be explores during these workshops, which also offers some light hearted fun, along with other like minded people in a small group over the 2 days. We look forward to you joining with us on this adventure into the unknown part of ourselves.
