Midfullness of Dream and Sleep JerseyA Holistic Approach to Lucid Dreaming

with Charlie Morley

10th/11th November 2012

Spend a worthwhile weekend exploring exciting dreamwork material.

We sleep for a third of our lives. Mindfulness of Dream and Sleep allows us to make use of that time and gives us the tools to train our minds, reprogram our habits and to enter into a friendship with every aspect of our psyches, all while we’re sound asleep. By using the best of both Tibetan Buddhist and Western dream-work techniques Mindfulness of Dream and Sleep offers a uniquely holistic approach to lucid dreaming with the aims of psychological growth, mind training and nocturnal spiritual practice!

This workshop includes an overview of the history, science and practice of lucid dreaming from both the Western psychological and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, instructions on how to maintain awareness into and out of sleep, and teachings on learning “how to lucid dream”. Lucid dreaming is an important precursory skill to the Tibetan tradition of Dream Yoga and these teachings offer a practical way to learn this incredibly beneficial skill.

This workshop is suitable for both complete beginners and seasoned dream explorers

About Charlie Morley:

Charlie received the traditional “authorization to teach” from Lama Yeshe Rinpoche in 2008 and was asked to teach by renowned meditation teacher Prof. Rob Nairn who described him as “the most authentic practitioner of lucid dreaming and dream yoga teaching in Europe”. Charlie has been a self taught lucid dreamer since the age of 16 and since then he has run retreats and workshops around the world, co-created the “Mindfulness of Dream and Sleep” program and given the ever first talk on lucid dreaming at the well known “TED” conference.

Body & Breath Magic

Posted by on in Events 0 comment

During this 2 hour journey we will spend half the time diving into the invigorating potential of Conscious, Ecstatic Movement, and the rest of the time absorbing deeply in a Quantum Light Breath Meditation to assist our awakening processes.

Conscious Movement and Ecstatic Dance is an innate ability that we can all tap into. It is a creative and enlivening process that brings us fully into the moment and away from the limiting confines of our minds. For a while we really hear the wisdom in the body, go back to our indigenous roots, find our sense of belonging and our capacity for authentic living in a sacred and welcoming space. When practiced regularly, followers usually find this meditation in movement to be empowering, awakening and confidence boosting.

The Quantum Light Breath is a breathing meditation process that accelerates personal transformation by releasing withheld feelings and revealing unconscious programs. It is designed to take participants into an expanded state of consciousness and ultimately into blissful embodiment. Here, Universal Love is experienced as a natural reality, not as an unreachable concept, where there is a deep connection to the Universal Intelligence. Quantum Light Breath participants often describe “Satori,” or awakening experiences during the practice. This meditation, that we will be guided through via a CD recording, creates space for personal exploration, emotional release without engaging in “story,” personal transformation and group connection. Using deeply effective guidance, we dive into the healing power of the breath, grounded by the magical sounds of the didgeridoo and toning, as well as flute, harmonium, Tibetan bells and bowls, drums, and channeled melody. We’ll re-connect with our bodies and each other through spontaneous movement and authentic personal sharing.

Both processes will be fully facilitated. Please come with an empty stomach, a blanket and water.

After the process we will share some light food.

Facilitated by Maria. All are welcome – newcomers included.

Time: 7-9pm Cost: £8

 

Dancing with Mars

Posted by on in Events 0 comment

Mars is raw, unbridled and passionate. Mars can also be incredibly destructive if not channeled consciously. Mars can lead us to our assertiveness, our highest courage (including the courage to use that assertiveness) and our strongest warrior self with a cause. The positive use of anger. When linked with our solar purpose energy, it energises and lights up our life! When suppressed in fear or shame (due to life experience, family upbringing, social or cultural conditions etc) that energy can create havoc inside to bursting point. After too long this can fester as resentment, bitterness, depression and chronic illness.

 

Whether we accept the presence of Mars or not, he is an important and potent part of our psyche.

 

How does it feel to befriend this powerful force and how can this help us move forward, take initiative and stand in courage?

 

Come and dance the dance of Mars this Wednesday at the Bridge with guided visualisations and meditations, and ignite the flame of your own inner dynamic, renewing force.

Dancing with Venus

Posted by on in Events 0 comment

Venus represents the principle of love and beauty. She rules the desire to be involved in romantic and social relations, to attract and be attracted to others, to engage in artistic activities, to seek harmony and aesthetic or sensuous pleasure. The Venus archetype is associated with the Greek mythic figure of Aphrodite, the Roman Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Venus tends to correlate with how one gives and receives love and affection, the nature of one’s social and romantic relationships, and the character of one’s artistic impulse and aesthetic sensibility.

We will work to connect with and fully embody our highest appreciation of love and the creative energy that Venus bestows upon us through our dance and our 2 hour journey together.

Bare Feet Dance Community

Is a dance community run by Maria Barnicoat and Jurek Skiba, containing a practice that cleanses your mind with sweat and breath, laughter and prayer. We let go of conversation, dissolve into movement and discover the anatomy of the soul. You will awaken your own imagination and move through personal exploration into a loving, intimate relationship with body, mind, heart, and source energy. We are powerful creative beings and this dance practice enables us to liberate that power and intent.

What to wear?

Comfortable layered clothing you can move and groove in. Long sleeves for floor work will keep you cosy. It is a barefoot practice, but if you have dance shoes, bring them!

If you have never been before, this is a great session to start!

A Weekend of 5 Rhythms Dance

5 Rhythms Dance in JerseyThe Illuminated Heart

A Weekend of 5 Rhythms Dance
with Tim Broughton

The heart is the home of love and a gateway to the soul. Open our hearts and we open in love. This workshop is for those who wish to live in love whether living alone or in relationship. There will be a number of processes, including dancing the Five Rhythms, to help us let go  and open into experiencing love.

Rumi says:
We are looking at your face.
Meadows and rose gardens don’t interest us anymore.
We are lost in the view of your eyes.
Wine and the wine maker no longer have appeal.

5 Rhythms™ Dance is a simple movement practice created by Gabrielle Roth to release the dancer that lives in every body – no matter what shape, size, age, limitations and experience. It is a relaxing, releasing workout for mind, body, and soul. Let go of your mind and let your body take you into your wildness, your tenderness, your joy – with yourself, with others. Come home to the ground of your being. Somewhere in you the dancer is waiting, waiting to be recognised and given life in movement. All you need is yourself & your willingness to move.

Tim Broughton has been running workshops for many years and is an accredited 5 Rhythms teacher. He regularly runs day, weekend and longer residential workshops.
