Wednesday 30 April
Caroline Hinks introduced us to the INSIGHTS Discovery System which depicts
the personality traits identified by C. Jung using four colours. I didn't
know that the terms Introvert and Extrovert were introduced to our language
in the 20s by Carl Jung. There are lots of other things I discovered during
the evening. Although Caroline's session was only a brief taster I have
come away with useful things to try with people I work with and my family
too. I am sorry if you missed it. If you want to know more Caroline is happy
to be contacted via carolinetraining @ aol.com

Andrew Austin. Certified
Trainer of Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), author of the best
selling NLP book The Rainbow Machine: Tales from a Neuro-linguist's
Journal
Andrew T. Austin introduced his model of Integral Eye Movement therapy.
The first two exercises of the model were covered, introducing
the concept of emotional imprinting and how difficult emotional
states can be addressed using the IEMT model. .
www.andrewtaustin.com.
Andrew is a great speaker and I would reccomend that every practitioner
trained in IEMT. Such was the interest after the workshop, and it
provoked more emails than any other evening so far, we have organised
a weekend IEMT practitioner training in Tunbridge Wells in February.

Wednesday 30th July
Clay Lowe Working
with Mandalas -
I first heard about Clay's work in January this year and was intrigued.
Unable to attend a Workshop at that time, I contacted Clay who very kindly
agreed to bring one to us, all the way from Leamington Spa !
I have to say I was delighted with the attendance ~ 20 people in all,including
several new to the group. I came away inspired and can well see me using
this in certain client settings. Whilst being mindful that in a therapeutic
setting, it is essential to recognise it is the meaning that the client
attaches to the symbols that is important, I would like to spend more
time looking at the history and meaning behind symbols used and the choice
of colour.
Clay is a very inspiring speaker and I will certainly be looking out for
workshops that he's presenting in the future .
Among the books recommended by Clay were;- The
Mandala of Being by Richard Moss,
The
Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell,
Mandalas
for Medition by Reudiger Dahlke and
Reflections
on the Art of Living- A Joseph Campbell Companion
Wednesday 27 August Bee-Leaf
~ on Beyond the POND
Milton Erickson told his children a story of Froggy Whitebelly who lived
in a pond, believing it to be the boundaries of the whole world. Ericksonian
Hypno-Psychotherapist and NLP Certified Trainer, Pamela Gawler-Wright,
revives this metaphor in the POND Model, a new innovation that explores
how the modal operators of possibility, permission, obligation, necessity
and desire define for us our known universe. Through new active exercises
and enriching background concepts, Pamela offers processes to harness
and release energy and wisdom to change the frontiers of our personal
maps. The POND model has been used within coaching, therapy and team-building
contexts to enable individuals and groups to make innovative and life-changing
leaps from their lily pads, to a wider world beyond.

> Review of the underlying principles of EFT

Wednesday 15 October.Diana
Coldman on Working with Crystals.
It's a subject that many still consider 'new age' or 'weird' yet the energy
from crystals is being harnessed in many high tech industries and is considered
to be extremely stable and safe. Diana talked about the properties of
a range of crystals and how they can be used to help rebalance and heal
physical and emotional disturbances. There was a display of many pieces
and recomended book titles will appear here soon..
Wednesday 29 October The language of influence - inside the Milton Model
with Michael Carroll
A great evening that started with a useful refresher of the beginnings of
NLP that turned into a story that enTRANCED everyone. A good expereince
on all levels. For some of the beginners the experience of mass trance induction
(how did that happen?) and for the more experienced the opportunity to disassociate
(with difficulty) and model the expert. I think it was a stimulating, enjoyable
evening for all levels of expertise. Needless to say this one goes into
the top ten by size of audience.
