this has been a life-changing experience, ….. This has been a major benefit in my work life and in home, real value for the rest of my life and beyond. The most significant insight is that I am responsible for my feelings and my life as a whole. I’ve most enjoyed the growing friendships and intimacy with the rest of the Group, the Men’s circles have been specially supportive. Most memorable have been a number of the morning meditations. For anyone wanting to enhance their life, I would recommend BWATI. Thank you, Joy

There is nothing like the magic of an ongoing group

The intimacy that builds, along with the trust, insights, the courage  and friendship that evolve when you know you are together over time, the incredible adventures, are irreplaceable and priceless. Because we can work deep, and because there is the safety of close bonding and the pleasure of community, you can open and resolve your deepest, core issues. There is a constant bridge with everyday life because the modules are well spread out, but there is ongoing contact with the egroup and socially. this is an excellent experiential training in trusting your beingness, find your presence, celebrate the gifts that are yours and then anything you go on to do in your life you will do with presence and joy. It is for those who wish to invest in their long term happiness and freedom.. For you if you enjoy a vibrant community . to live your wildness, connect, be broken open by another’s vulnerability, play, say what you have never dared say, to be surprised, to find your edge, to celebrate being you.

If diving deep into being is something you value highly and wish to commit some time and energy to. I want to invite you to consider the possibility of joining a very special group of people on what will be a profound and enlightening shared journey over eighteen months. Being With All That Is begins winter 2010, the first module including a New Year ceremony and a Celebration party. The course comprises 6 x 4 day modules spread over about 20 months. The course content is always new so this group is highly appropriate for anyone who has attended before. It gives you the spine of spiritual community to support ongoing spiralling into conscious awake living.

There is time in between each module, and ongoing support available, to thoroughly integrate the learnings and awakenings into your ordinary life. We become a circle in which deep personal awakenings, insights, opening, healing and life-transformation are optimized for every participant. Depth, playfulness, authenticity and intimacy develop naturally among us. This circle also support conscious relationship for couples who choose to participate together. The circle provides the trust and safety in which extraordinary personal breakthroughs and undreamed of freedom becomes possible. You will be facilitated as a circle and as an individual and/or couple through all those obstacles and limits with which we habitually, and often unwittingly, thwart our highest potential for self-realisation; and to invite the total presence that brings the deepest happiness and that fulfils our dearest longings.  For me it is so rewarding to work with those where the level of trust is so deep that the breakthroughs and openings can be so far reaching. The material will be cutting edge. It is a privilege for me to see what happens for people in circles, on week retreats, and in shamanic healing groups, and when they come to know each other on a level way beyond where we can go with most social and professional contacts. This ongoing group - Being With All That Is - is offered to you in case you have the courage, the inspiration and the love and care to be able to let go of your personal preferences and care for the hugeness, the vastness, the love and the truth that is all that is, the extraordinariness of the ordinary, the vulnerability that is our greatness, the mystery where nothing is known or certain and yet life is infintely creative and rich. The structure gives us time to come to the heart of being, and time to work at the depth where abiding change can happen.

Whoever enters the way without a guide will take a hundred years to travel a 2 day journey!

In depth work, realization of naturalness and being, this group is for you if you are wishing for your own profound development, and for ways to be with others in your life more deeply, for would-be practitioners of this extraordinary work, and practising therapists, for those working with people in all kinds of situations who wish to be even more effective and present with what arises. This group is for you if you wish to continue with your own private commitment to bring truth, freedom, peace, joy, and love into your life, your friends and families, the lives of your colleagues and /or clients, whatever the kind of contribution is in your work, and to life itself.

The training content will incorporate the healing power of aloha, silence, lomi massage, energy work, element work in nature, sexual energy, intimate encounters, gentle touch, feedback structures, clarifying and energizing intentions,voice work with ancient chants, ancestral healing, deep constellation work in the circle, Forgiveness work (self and others), meditations, tantric work, reflection from the facilitator, and shamanic ritual work in various venues in Gloucestershire. Sometimes I’ll guide you into rituals, profound shamanic journeys, and body and energetic explorations. Sometimes we will sit together in the circle, opening to the mystery of all that happens among us that creates the deep insights and huge awakenings to the truth of who we really are. There will be time to be with your own sex circle and be fully resourced by that to meet your opposite. There will also be time to let go and relax, time to enjoy community and friendship, good food and music, celebrations and nature. An extraordinary adventure in self-realization. All you have to know about yourself is that you are willing to keep being here for the entire journey, that you are willing to commit to open and befriend all that you are.

It has given me plenty opportunities to release old suppressed pain and to learn how to deal with stress in the future. I have really enjoyed being amongst open people who are there to help each other in the atmosphere of trust and support in lovely surroundings of your beautiful home. I learned to love and accept myself warts and all… total bliss Mira Kubulae

‘Its only on looking back that I can see how much I've changed since my first meeting with you. Today I feel so much more of a whole being, I was always able to look up and it was perhaps too much of an escape for me but now I revel in my humanness too, in the blessings of the earth and the joys she brings. I recognise and bless ALL aspects of my being, I take ownership of who I am and my place in the universe. Reflected in the group are all facets of learning, the faces of all people, all lessons, some easy, some not so but all gratefully received. What a wonderful year it has been, what a wonderful being you are and thank you so much for sharing yourself with us. I would recommend anyone who is interested in 'getting real' to join you next year’. Pauline Dalley, Winchcombe

This is a journey where the potential to open and enlighten and befriend all that you are and all that is in existence will most likely totally transform you and the way you experience life and relate to others. The purpose of every step of this journey is to open us into the boundless heart-and-soul intelligence, consciousness that is ours when we are truly present, to ourselves and to all of life happening endlessly now. Are you ready, are you willing, to embrace all that is? As we really let in all that happens in us into a single, integrated, here-and-now awareness we embody the love and the truth at the heart of all that is, the aloha that runs through all creation.

How to Book

The greatest learning that I have gained from the ongoing group is to really feel, not try to run away, get busy or distract myself from pain, from the uncomfortable, from the unbearable but just to drop down into my body and feel it. I have found that the feelings change far more quickly and the aliveness and energy that arises in my body from really feeling is actually often quite blissful.

Wow! I had a massive result after our last session.  Previously my family weekends with my children and step son had been almost unbearable, now they feel fine, and good at times!  My whole way of being with men has shifted too, to the extent that relations with my ex have turned from sour to really very amicable. I feel like I have more energy for my life and my heart feels lighter, softer, more open.  Life with my partner is also reflecting this in a joyful and loving way.  The old ways seem like a bad dream now, thank God.

 Something really big has shifted in me and it reminds me how subtle yet immensely powerful your work is - I'll be coming back for more and more
