Images: Understanding and Healing Relationships

Second of two workshops facilitated by Janine Pinion (Note: can be attended separately but for full benefit attend both)

Date & Time: Thursday, November 18th 2010 9:30am-4pm

Venue: Wirral Mind Fountain Project,90–92 Chester Street, Birkenhead

Relationships bring up our ‘stuff’ – our insecurities, assumptions, unmet needs, expectations etc. This may lead to patterns, perhaps a series of disappointments or the same frustrations occurring over and over. Spontaneous image-making offers a playful and insightful approach to explore and discover what’s really going on inside us about relationships. We can then imagine changes with awareness and go on to create images which feel satisfying. We will learn how to apply loving curiosity without judgement or interpretation to our own and others’ images.

Using Spontaneous Images for Personal Healing

First of two workshops facilitated by Janine Pinion (Note: can be attended separately but for full benefit attend both)

Date & Time: Thursday, October 21st 2010 9:30am-4pm

When we feel emotions, they are experienced in the body – what keeps us stuck and distressed are the thoughts, stories and beliefs going round and round in the mind. In this session, we will:

• Create spontaneous images which bypass ‘monkey mind’

• Explore using Person-centred skills to get straight to the heart of the matter

• Learn how to witness and facilitate the process for others

• Make space for our inner wisdom to speak to us.

We do this using chosen, imagined or drawn images – no artistic skills are required! We then apply loving curiosity without judgement or interpretation. Participants may also:

• Experience emotions and truths (‘aha’ moments)

• Feel an uplift in energy and awareness of choices with steps ahead
