A Day of Self Enquiry

10/08/2024

The self-inquiry technique is simple, self-correcting and effective.

The self-enquiry question “Who am I?” is common as a spiritual practice in several traditions including Zen Buddhism.

Dyad exercises on the other hand, are based on more modern western communication methods.

This combination, discovered by Charles Berner is now used world-wide in EI’s to help participants break through to a direct experience.

It removes the need for participants to have any meditation experience.

Date: 18-24 of October

Where: Scottish Borders

For many, an Enlightenment Intensive feels like the most significant thing they have ever done.

While not therapeutic by design, the Enlightenment Intensive process is likened to a year’s worth of therapy in three days.

Your normal defence mechanisms and social habits quickly fade out, allowing feelings, memories, and emotions to rise to the surface unimpeded.

People find peace, meaning, humour, joy and clarity as well as an increased concentration and ability to listen.

Date: 18-24 of October

That time to Snuggle up again!
Our popular , and consent workshop is returning on the 14th April.

This delightful and caring space is carefully held for you to explore:
- Feeling out what it is you want
- Asking for what you want
- How to hold your felt boundaries
- How to say "no"
- How to receive a "no" without spiralling into rejection
- And many more wonderful and unique gentle exercises to lead you towards trust, safety and connection with your fellow participants.

There's a focus on staying present and reconnecting to your own sensations and your own awareness, in order that you can authentically connect with others in the space.

This is a beautiful event , with a gentle, caring and safe atmosphere for exploring platonic touch and cuddles.

This is typically a sell-out event so

A place to connect to your own body and connect with like-minded people.

Cuddle Party! we humans need touch and affection that's not about s*x. Wait- Is there such a thing? Of course there is....

A playful social event in The Urban Yurt designed for adults to explore communication, boundaries and affection

TOUCH AND AFFECTION - Humans need it, it’s no longer a question. Nurturing, welcome consensual touch is good for you! Good for your body, heart and spirit! Good for your blood pressure, your nervous system, your emotional health, your ability to connect with and trust people, your ability to respect and care for yourself, your creativity, sense of safety and comfort and belonging. Infants who are deprived of touch fail to thrive; we never outgrow the need!

A mini-workshop for all those of you (well all of us really) who'd like a little affectionate human touch.

LIMITED PLACES - book yours here:
