We will meet the core aspects of these tangled places (the critic, the safety guardian and the wounded one) and find new ways to befriend them. We will learn to find hidden treasure there and in the most tricky areas of our life and we will find new ways forward. Some of the themes we will explore will be:
The course will comprise of teaching sessions, demonstrations, paired and solo practice and optional practice sessions in between the sessions with other participants.

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?

To call myself beloved, to feel myself
Beloved on the earth.

The life we refuse
Will breach our defences anyway
Even at the moment of death.
Don't wait that long
In every moment there is a door
With a sign saying “Now”
Waiting to be opened.
Don't hesitate, don't even knock
Even when we turn away
we will arrive again at the same place.
Every step we take is toward this door
The life we refuse is singing to us
From the other side
Step through,
The old life with its comforting certainties
Is not a home for the soul
Break the furniture, run at the door
And leap into the place they call “Here”
