"I thought the process was very worthwhile and gave insight
into the impact of past events and how they resonate in myself today. It has given me a basis for further healing through self-knowledge, a
greater understanding and compassion towards others and an insight and
confidence with my own creativity”

Exploring Biography
Discovering meaning in your life patterns
with Jill FowlerShort course beginning Tuesday June 26
Participants will have an opportunity for reviewing significant life experiences and attitudes, discovering themes/patterns, enriching our self-understanding and compassion.
Opportunities are offered to transform the effects on our lives and inner dynamics.
Our bodies carry our histories - they contain every chapter
of our lives.
Our attitudes and beliefs are living in us and influence who we are, 
like the rings on a tree, every age resounds in us
Biographical work enables us to review behavioral patterns and difficult emotions, to make new choices, to live our lives more consciously and powerfully.
Each week will focus on reviewing in depth, the different 7-year phases of development according to Rudolph Steiner.
Different creative modes will be used in small groups, including symbolic mementos, dramatic replay, games, drawing and writing.

Enhancing Well-being & Vitality
Re-discovering how to feel well, vital & more alive
with Judy Greenberg
Our life force and energy levels are a key to our well-being and vitality.
When we have these in abundance, we are free to live our lives fully, healthily, purposefully, joyfully and passionately.
Regardless of our current state of health, well-being and vitality can be enhanced.
In this course, we will look at the impact on our well-being and vitality, of stress, including lifestyle choices, illness, anxiety, self-neglect in all areas of our life and unresolved issues.
We will learn and experience creative tools for use at home to support regaining and maintaining well-being and vitality in our lives.
