Meditation Group

~ Every Saturday 10-11.15am £6.00 per adult / £3 under 16's

Join me to discover the wonderful art of meditation. During the 8 week rolling programme we will cover how to prepare your space for meditation and basic breathing technique. Each session we will learn about a new aspect of this skill, how it can be used and practice a different type of meditation. There are handouts each session which you can build into your own resource pack and add your experiences. There is a chance at the end of each group to share your experiences with the other people in the group and pick up hints and tips on how you can make your meditation even more effective.

Aromatherapy Courses

"Basic Blending"-A practical workshop where you will learn about aromatheray and essentail oils - their history and uses. Identify your favourite aromas and learn how they can benefit you. Glimpse into the world of perfumery and understand how oils are used to evoke emotions and influence the choice you make. You will also be able to make your own blend to take away with you and use at home. There will be information sheets for you.

"Blending for Health"- Did you know that all medicines today originally came from plants? Discover the marvellous healing properties of plants and thier oils. Learn how to create a blend safely to maintain good health both physical and psychological. Using skills from the basic course, create a blend especially for your personal health issues for use at home.

"The Aromatherapy Pharmacy"- Many believe aromatherapy to be little more than a pampering massage. However, aromatherapy offers a multitude of remedies to complement general medicine or to use on their own. This course develops basic knowledge of the oil properties into useful applications, looking at common complaints and offerring oil-based solutions. You will have the opportunity to create a blend specifically targeted at your own health problems as we work together to create an aromatherapy 'first aid kit'. You will be able to order your very own oils which will be presented in a small case.

"Complementary Therapy for Seasonal Health"  Workshop

 A more indepth look at particular health problems that occur as the year progresses. Covering a range of therapies, we will look at preventing and treating some of the more common seasonal problems, ranging from hayfever to chest infections and even to sunburn! You will have the opportunity to experience some of the therapies and make remedies to use on yourself. Over the year, the worksheets and handouts build into your own reference library to refer to as you need it.

 

Massage Courses

When  you have had a hard day and sit down in the evening with aching shoulders or a tense headache, wouldn't it be lovely to have a quick simple massage just to tide you over until your next treatment? That is exactly what these courses are designed to teach you.

"Simple Self- Help Massage"-  It is not always possible to come for a treatment everytime, you need one so being able to help yourself would be an  invaluable skill. This course shows you some basic techniques and giudes you through a short whole body massage treatment. A fun, informative and practical workshop for people of all ages.

"Simple Massage for you and your family"- This course is over 2 sessions. So often we try to help ease aches and pains with a massage without actually knowing what we are doing. Come and learn more about massage and be ablt to help your family / partner with knowledge and confidence. It does NOT qualify you to set up as a therapist but is designed to follow on from the self-help massage course, expanding your ability to assist your family with knowledge.

Session 1 - Upper body and head  ~   Session 2 - Lower body and feet

 The techniques are not designed to replace having a full treatment by a qualified therapist but are for giving temporary relief from pain and discomfort. Please be aware that during this course, you will be both massaging and being massaged by other people. This will involve removing outer garments but your privacy will be maintained as far as possible. A perfect course for couples to learn together.

The Courses vary in length from 90 minutes to 3 hours. See event calender or Newsletter for dates.
