Sunday 11th January 2009 - 'Evolution of Consciousness - The Spiral Dynamics Model' with Mark Fielding from Saltburn 

Following from Mark's previous talks on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and The Five Elements, this session will focus on another area of our development - the evolution of human consciousness. It will explain the different levels of thinking - over the last 50000, 5000, 500 and 50 years, and where it may be headed in the future. The Spiral Dynamics Model was developed by Dr Beck and Dr Cowan in the 1990's, building on the earlier work of Dr Graves. It clearly explains and integrates human behaviour, values, and patterns of change. 

If you are interested, have a look at one of the Spiral Dynamics websites, at: www.spiraldynamics.net , or Mark's website, at: www.markfielding.com . As before, the session will link to both eastern and western philosophies, acupuncture and similar modes of treatment. Also, there will be a strong workshop element - with plenty of opportunities for group work. Come along and find out where on the spiral you fit, where you work and function, and which level(s) you may be evolving towards ...

Sunday 14^th June 2009 - 'Three Secrets to Love, Happiness and Everything' with Stuart Pearson from Harrogate  

Most of us know intellectually or theoretically what makes us happy, healthy and in love with life.  There will be areas in our lives where we are happy and contented and other times when “life” seems somehow to be determined to put obstacles, situations, difficulties in our path and also there are the actions of people that seem to make us choiceless.   We seem to get stuck in this cycle (or cycles) with no obvious way out.  The 3 secrets have been understood by a few for countless generations and cultures over thousands of years.  They are simple truths, not necessarily easy to put into practice, but worth the effort to become awake!.  The day will focus on participants wants and needs and will provide a trusting, fun, loving day for all. You will leave with the secrets and you may do with them as you wish!
