Distant and Group Courses, Retreats and Seminars
DISTANCE COURSES
Since 1981, these practical courses have had hundreds of students from all
parts of the world and from all walks of life, from business
people to artists, from complementary medicine practitioners to fishermen.
Students come from a very wide variety of religious and ethnic backgrounds
and slightly over half are female.
A student is accepted on the basis of their life experiences and self-perceived
ability to undertake the courses. The majority of graduates report that
the work of the education programme continues to have relevance to their
life's journey.
We offer two different distance courses :
Kabbalah Distance Learning ......
Psychosynthesis Distance Learning
GROUP COURSES, RETREATS AND SEMINARS
These courses are intended to be supportive of your chosen life path and supplementary
to any previous skills and training. They support you in being true to your
own values whilst empowering others, in how to create meaningful and true
meetings with people and to make you more effective in whatever field you
work.
They are facilitated to enable maximum learning benefit through presentations,
exercises and discussion. The practical work is supported with clear, easy
to understand theoretical input and a warm, supportive atmosphere.

Glastonbury, England
Being Beyond Meditation
On this retreat we will deepen our exploration of different kinds of meditation - reflective, receptive, creative, still, walking, flying, silent, transcendent, mindful,
heart-centred, passive, trance-based, yogic, zazen, guided, and so on … different approaches that suit different minds, and which can be appropriate for different temperaments,
tastes, abilities and so on. We will explore many different methods, but always with these words from Krishnamurti underpinning our inquiry:
‘All effort to meditate is the denial of meditation. Meditation is the ending of thought. It is only then that there is a different dimension which is beyond time.’
This retreat is now fully booked

September 28 - October 3 (Friday-Friday)
Glastonbury, England
Memory: A Deep Inquiry
More than just a collection of random episodes and facts from the past, your memory creates the ongoing narrative that makes your life truly yours.
Memories inform how you learn, the decisions you make and, fundamentally, how your personality forms, develops and shapes your experiences of the past,
present and future. On this retreat we’ll explore different aspects of memory including: the secret memories in the body; forgetfulness and unconscious
memory; individual and collective memory; recapitulation and shamanic memory; freeing yourself from memory; and the different roles of memory in spiritual practice.
If you're interested, contact Will
November 24-25 (Saturday-Sunday)
Biopsychosynthesis: Past, Present and Becoming
(English with German translation)
Although the body is sometimes overlooked in psychosynthesis, Assagioli asserted that the full name for psychosynthesis is bio-psychosynthesis, emphasizing the important role of
the body in our personal and spiritual development. From our earliest experiences onwards, each of us builds a unique, on-going relationship with our body, repeating patterns,
sometimes consciously, sometimes not so.
Jung asserted that 'Individuation can only take place if you first return to your body, to your earth, only then does it become true.' From this premise we will explore our relationship
with our bodies and our physical presence in the world. We will focus on survival issues, breathing, containment and touch taboos, sexual energy, digestive functions and, exploring Reich’s
theories of character armour, the effect of emotions on the body's energy centres, our core spirituality, and how to work with arising affects.
We will aim to establish the truth within ourselves of the old tantric affirmation that 'there is no temple as beautiful as my own body.'
