SUMMARY:1 Day Guitar Workshop for Absolute Beginners (or those who've tried before)
DESCRIPTION:Does this sound like you?… \n\nYou’ve tried guitar before but quit?\nYou struggle with chords?\nYou’ve always wanted to learn but believe you’re not musical\nOr…you’re an absolute beginner and want to get started the right way?\n\n\n\n\nI’ve been teaching guitar to adult beginners for over 20 years. Over that time I developed a method (The Easiest Guitar Method) specifically designed for adults who struggle or have never picked up the instrument but always wanted to. \nMy basic premise is that all humans are musical (I can even prove this!) and have the right to express themselves musically. \n\nIn this one day workshop I will show you: \n\nthe absolute beginner guitar basics you need to get started\nhow to play at least 3 easy\, great sounding pieces of music that you’ll be able to play from memory\nbuilding blocks towards playing several chords (and overcome any difficulties with them)\nhow to read basic guitar music (tablature) and chord diagrams\nhow learning a few simple notes will allow you to jam with others\n\nLooking forward to seeing you! \n\nNote: please be aware that spaces are limited so please book ahead via email or phone: mick@easiestguitar.com\n\n\n07402 707 056\n\n\n \n\n\nBest wishes \n\n\nMick Young\n\n\n\nNice things people say about the method: \nMick’s teaching style is so nice and thorough. It really takes the frustration out of it when he explains each tiny step. The songs are so good! \nKate McMahon Aged 37\, Australia \n\n“It’s the 1st time I actually feel like I’m playing something. Thank you.” \nJohn SeaverAged 61\, Australia \n\n“Your course rekindled my enthusiasm after hitting that “no progress” point. I’ve improved more in the last 3 weeks using your system than the previous 9 months when I first started. Thanks Mick”. \nMike Avenell\, aged 70\, UK \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:How to speak Dog - Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:Sorry\, this talk has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. \nThis is a talk about how I understand and work with dogs and people.  I don’t train dogs\, I train people – to understand and communicate with dogs. \nMy work comes out of a lifetime of living with and loving dogs\, 15 years of experience helping people with their dogs\, and a great interest in dog psychology and behaviour. \nIf we understand our dog’s needs and how dogs communicate\, we can offer clear leadership and the right environment for a healthy happy pack of humans and dogs. \nMy journey to help people understand and communicate with dogs has also been enriched by training in human psychology and communication\, and in horse psychology\, behaviour and horse whispering. \nThe work has been inspired by dog whisperer Cesar Milan\, and horse whisperer Monty Roberts\, and developed alongside my own knowledge and experience. \n

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Ascension
DESCRIPTION:Leo Sofer (Valmiki) will be sharing about his journey as a spiritual seeker from the age of 16. \n“After many years of development through nonviolent communication and intuitive storytelling\, I found ascension\, a practice rooted in the Vedic wisdom of ancient India\, but presented in a contemporary form that makes it more accessible to westerners. \nI’ve learned that our minds are the principle limiting factor in our experience of life. As we become more aware of our thinking process and start to see it as just one small corner of our total experience of life\, we can start to experience a fuller and richer tapestry of life. Learning that we are less “in control” of our lives than we thought is actually a very liberating thing! \nThis will be an informal talk in which I’ll share some of my own journey\, and the limitations that even being “emotionally aware” and “intuitive” can have. I’ll then talk about ascension and how it has given me the “gold” I was looking for all my life: an intimate sense of life\, love and meaning that continues to expand! I’ll also talk about how ascension works\, what the experience of ascending is like\, and how you can learn it. \nI’ll be teaching a weekend introduction to ascension in Jellyfish on 26-28th April. See here for more details.” \n

SUMMARY:Saga Grünwald - author\, druid\, photographer - an evening with Dartmoor stories\, poems\, images
DESCRIPTION:Saga Grünwald\, author\, druid and photographer from Germany will be reading from her new book LIMINAL REALMS\, and other works. \nSaga promotes and facilitates our connection with nature and our heritage through images and language. From her bio: “She strives to live in harmony with the earth\, sea and sky\, .. to protect nature and to spread peace…. to respect all beings and to meet all living things with love”.  \nI first met Saga last year\, when she and her little dog Goldi were staying as my AirBnB guests. Saga immersed herself in the elements\, woods\, Tors\, wind and weather of Dartmoor with its stories and myths to work on a new book. Her work sucks me right into nature with all its qualities of nurture\, eternity\, mortality\, transience …. I was determined to bring Saga back to help her share the finished book\, and here she is! \n Tickets are £8 on the door. Tickets can now no longer be booked online.  \nWikipedia definition ‘liminality‘: In anthropology\, liminality is the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of a rite of passage\, when participants no longer hold their pre-ritual status but have not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold when the rite is complete.

DESCRIPTION:I’m offering a short workshop for anyone curious about my work (or anyone who already knows it and wants to come along).   I call it “This Beautiful Work” because it is all about embodying and welcoming whatever inner experience we are having – and doing this is beautifully simple\, and strangely not necessarily easy.\n\nWe will spend the time in various ways – some sitting (as in meditation\, self-observation)\, some moving\, some paired enquiry.  I will give guidance in all of that\, and you do not need to have previous experience.\n\nYou can read more about my approach on my website – www.thisbeautifulwork.weebly.com\n\nPlaces are limited to 10.  Cost £30 – £20 (depending on means).  Booking is essential – please email me to book a place joannawatters@gmail.com

SUMMARY:12 Characters in Search of an Apocalypse
DESCRIPTION:The 12 Characters project is a worldwide call for community dialog around one of the two most significant challenges of our uncertain times – the ongoing collapse of the web of living beings that supports all life on Earth – a collapse that with each passing day gains momentum. Our goal is to get people talking with one another about what is happening to them\, their families\, and their communities. \n12 Characters in Search of an Apocalypse is brilliant and important work. It is necessary work. I am grateful to Giraffe Social Enterprise for taking this on. If somehow we make it to a more sane way of living\, it will be due to efforts like this one. \n— Derrick Jensen\, author of Endgame\, A Language Older Than Words\, and The Myth of Human Supremacy. \nHow did it come to be?\nThe morning the Brexit referendum results were announced I realized that I had told myself a false story. That because I was an American living in the UK and because I couldn’t vote\, there was nothing I could do about the process.I quickly realized how wrong I had been. I realized that there had been a gaping hole in the referendum process. Where I lived (rural Wales) and in most other places there were no public gatherings for neighbors to sit down and talk with one another about how they would be affected by leaving the EU. \nI decided then and there I wasn’t going to let that happen again. \nI realize that the same gaping whole is happening around what is often called “global warming” or “climate change” – there are no public gatherings where neighbors can share with one another how their families and their communities are being affected by the unravelling of the web of living beings that supports us. \nThis project – 12 Characters in Search of an Apocalypse – is my effort to change that. \nJason E Stewart \nsee: https://12characters.org.uk/ for more information.

SUMMARY:Satsang with Prajna
DESCRIPTION:Prajna welcomes everyone and everything to these open meetings\, referred to as  “satsang”. A warm welcome to be\, without pretense; to give full allowance for everything that arises in you\, light and dark. \nIn doing so\, what is unconscious becomes conscious. Awareness remains. As the content of mind/emotions empty into the wider context of you\, liberation unfolds naturally\, and uniquely for each person. You do not lack anything to realize your completeness. Inquiry\, contemplation\, and a stillness practice of “allowing everything to be as it is” — is a doorway to ‘direct knowing’ — ‘prajna’ — and embodying your wholeness. \nPrajna will begin with a guided meditation to silence followed by an open conversation on a particular aspect of awakening\, integration and embodiment. \nPrajna is here from California and is a spiritual teacher\, therapist\, and mother of three children\, Prajna is known for her depth of presence and welcoming every part of who we are to liberation. Inspired by her root teacher\, Adyashanti – her teachings are practical\, non-dogmatic and elicit the direct knowing of who we are amidst hardship and beauty. \nSpace is limited so please book – contact  Rachael at rachaelthomas.456@gmail.com or Tel 07846453047 . Please bring a cushion to sit on!

SUMMARY:Dialogical System Design
DESCRIPTION:How do we relearn the art of designing social systems that meet common needs\, helping communities heal from division and hate\, strengthen their resilience and potential to innovate\, and deepen their ability to serve all? \nIn this interactive evening presentation\, Dominic Barter will share his real-world experience with such social\, interpersonal and personal transformation in groups\, neighborhoods\, education\, justice\, organizations\, churches\, trade unions\, government and families. \nFor the last 23 years\, Dominic and his colleagues in Brazil have been developing successful new ways of arriving at liberatory ends through liberatory means. Guided by the work of Marshall Rosenberg their award-winning dialogical social systems have been applied in contexts from gang-controlled favela shanty towns to the federal government and are now in use in 47 countries. This talk will offer a window into what is possible when community reemerges as the basis of our social lives. \nFreely given contributions to the cost of the event and of the work itself welcome on the night. \nRegistration is required to attend this event.
