Participants are not simply serving their masculine\, they are supporting a reciprocal and nourishing relationship awakening with the feminine. \nRegistration is required @ www.HealthyMasculine.co.uk\, as there is a short introductory reading along with gentle internal guided preparations to anchor your participation by tuning in to your own personal explorations. \nNo one turned away for lack of funds.

Loving and nourishing relationships need no longer be a  lottery and we do not need to suffer without understanding why things can get difficult in a long term relationship. If we know the underlying dynamics of what really happens in our couple\, we can use that map to find the ways out of the difficulties and back to enjoying our partnership again \nPhilip Jones is an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist working exclusively with couples in Buckfastleigh.

Some meetings seemed destined to happen\, others happen in the most bizarre circumstances\, or in ways that we’ll always remember. \nWe’ll sit in a circle and tell our stories.

It’s also fine to just sit and listen! \nThe evening will be facilitated by Leo Sofer\, co-owner of Jellyfish and a storyteller for 30 years. \nFeedback from previous participants. \n“I’ve really enjoyed both the True Storytelling evenings I’ve been to. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to be able to listen\, really listen\, to other people telling about precious moments in their lives.  And to have the chance to tell about your own experiences and memories (only if you want to)\, with others listening to you too. It’s inspiring and entertaining and humbling\, all at once. I’m waiting to hear what the next topic will be!” Elle \n“I enjoyed speaking/hearing stories from the heart and truth\, evolving spaciousness and depth\, warm embodied listening….Unconditioned moments\, reflections without preconceptions or dogma.” Abigail Robinson. \n“Through a kind invitation for us to share our story\, Leo helped us create this special place where we were listened to\, and our stories were brought to life. They were stories from our past\, but we brought them to the present. And in that respectful and safe circle our experiences and stories were honoured. I left feeling full of life.” Thais Lloyd. \n  URL:https://dragonsanctuary.co.uk/event/an-evening-of-true-storytelling-on-the-theme-of-how-we-first-met/ CATEGORIES:Talks and Gatherings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dragonsanctuary.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-blue-and-green-colour-balanced.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Leo Sofer":MAILTO:info@dragonsanctuary.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180624T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180624T213000 DTSTAMP:20260615T143856 CREATED:20180606T150156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180607T154956Z UID:10000100-1529870400-1529875800@dragonsanctuary.co.uk SUMMARY:Choice DESCRIPTION:CHOICE \nMany lives\, many stories\, one desire \nLiving harmoniously requires a shift in consciousness.
