The Jewel in the Lotus

Self Healing Arts in Zen, Tantra & The Tao

Join me to uncover the keys to self-mastery in this immersive workshop blending ancient wisdom from Buddhism, The Tao, and Carl Jung's insights on archetypes - shadow and light.

Dive deep into understanding energy fields and how our thoughts and emotions impact our well-being. Understand the quantum field and 'manifesting your preferred reality' with thought, feeling and action.

Learn some medical qi gong and mindfulness techniques for self healing and self mastery.

No matter how much positive thinking we employ, our unconscious survival strategies can derail our success in life, love and happiness.

In this workshop we will explore the shadow aspects of the primal survival strategies we employ to gain safety or acceptance. In order to survive childhood traumas and other family dysfunction and power imbalances in life, we often hide or bury our feelings, and our true nature and identity become obscured. Within this shadow, the unconscious and suppressed aspects of our self, lies hidden our power and joy.

Shadow work, a deep hard look in the mirror, is indispensable in our journey towards wholeness. No matter how much positive thinking we employ, our unconscious survival strategies can derail our success in life, love and happiness. We play the victim, we sabotage, buy or sell ourselves out of problems, and remain immature adults. We trade off our self nature to gain safety, to fit in and survive.

Discover more ways of turning your stumbling blocks into stepping stones, your life experiences into fertilizer for personal growth, and your search for meaning into a personal spritual practice.

Our day will include:

- Self love & the 7 chakras
Understand how we lose personal power in each of our energetic centres through traumas, agreements and contracts, and learn how to regain, reclaim & call back your power using the power of the coherent heart.

- Tantra & the Tao
Tibetan tantra & Taoist philosophy and practices for vitality and well-being. The circulation of heaven and earth chi in your own body-mind is a prerequisite for dual cultivation with a partner.

-Ch'an / zen & non duality
Beyond method and practice.
Simplicity and ease – the non-arising of concurrent causes.
Thou art that
