Who is this course for: This course is for Spiritual Explorers that: *are already open to energy and to the spiritual vision of the world, *are not living blindly following the rules of the matrix, but try to follow their hearts and intuition *want to go beyond the barriers of the ordinary world and access the wisdom and energy healing powers of the spirits to help themselves and others; *want to realise themselves in the totality of their potential,  in order to live a genuine life mission and become evolved human beings; *want to go through a deep inner transformation and inner work for the evolution of their souls. What you will learn: This intense one year course has been designed combining together the Toltec and the Japanese tradition of shamanism and no experience is required to attend. It will allow you to qualify as a Professional Shamanic Practitioner.  Shamanism has survived for millennia because of its effectiveness and adaptability. In some cultures it is still a reference spiritual practice, in our modern culture it is increasingly an alternative practice for healing the soul and for all health issues that cannot be solved by official science. In these times of great change, spiritual practice, done humbly but also with purpose, can transform our society.  The vision is to educate you to become a shamanic practitioner experiencing this vast and diverse healing heritage, applying it with courage and commitment in your own environment.  The term "professional" means someone who has solid experience working with other people safely and effectively. You will follow a very deep path of healing, transformation and personal empowerment necessary to work ethically and professionally in the field of shamanic healing. Through deep initiations you can open ever wider doors to the spiritual world necessary to become true channels of healing and inexhaustible sources of spiritual wisdom WHEN penultimate week-end of the month per 13months  (different dates in  December due to Christmas and April due to Easter;  break in July and August)  10am-5pm GMT time each day 20th-21st April 2024 18th-19th May 2024 22nd-23rd June 2024 21st-22nd September 2024 19th-20th October 2024 16th-17th November 2024 7th-8th December 2024 18th-19th January 2025 15th-16th February 2025 22nd-23rd March 2025 12th-13th April 2025 17th-18th May 2025 21st-22nd June 2025 You have time till the 15th May 2024 to sign up.

OVERVIEW This course has been created to help safely navigate attendees through the minefield of absence management, paying attention to issues of systems, procedures and organisational culture along the way. Using a selection of exercises, activities and sample documents, the course examines some traditional methods of management as well as some more contemporary and innovative ways of keeping a lid on casual absence. Attendees will take away a number of practical tools and ideas to enable them to target performance improvement when back at their desks. DESCRIPTION It’s estimated that absence from work costs the UK economy over £13 billion per year, with the ‘average’ employee taking around seven days off sick annually. The need for managers, HR people and leaders to control absenteeism is critical if a company is to survive and prosper. But just what is ‘absence’? And how do we go about managing it and reducing it wherever we can, without falling foul of employment law? As well as the usual training material, attendees on this course also receive several useful handouts and exercises relating to absence management. Topics covered: * An Absence Management Model – this section identifies a simple model for managers to apply when dealing with absenteeism  * Defining Absence – the text book definition will help learners clearly understand what is meant by absence  * Types of Absence – unravelling the different types of absence and distinguishing between absence and leave  * Classifying Absence – by classifying types of absence, the learner can begin to get a steer on how to manage it  * Statistics – identifying the real cost of absence and looking at regional and sector differences  * Reasons for Absence – considering the high-level issues that have an impact on absence, like culture and job design  * Causes of Sickness – here the national league tables of sickness causes are discussed, giving the learner the chance to reflect on their own team or company  * Absence Management – Stage 1 – contracts, policies, procedures and legal entitlements are all examined here, to allow learners to get a grasp of what they have to know to  * Absence Management – Stage 2 – record keeping, costing absence and benchmarking provide the chance for analysis and understanding in the context of the learner’s own organisation  * Absence Management – Stage 3 – setting out the skills and interventions that managers need to apply in the effective management of absence, including: communication, professional advice, workplace issues and return to work interviews  * Traditional Approaches – an examination of performance management, sick pay, discipline, recruitment and selection and how these can lend themselves to effective absence management  * Reducing Absenteeism – through less traditional approaches, looking at ‘carrots and sticks’, targets, employee assistance, unusual initiatives and organisational culture.  * Recent Developments – considering the impact of ‘fit notes’ and potential pandemics. WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course has been designed for anyone that deals with absence or needs to have an awareness of the absence management process. This could include; Team leaders, supervisors, managers, HR professionals and anyone else involved in the management of people or organisations. REQUIREMENTS FOR ATTENDANCE None.

Video and audio tags. * HTML5 UI: Organization, Input, and Validation * HTML5 tags to organise content and forms Tables, lists, sections; semantic HTML. * HTML5 tags for input and validation * CSS Essentials: Content Flow, Positioning, styling * Core CSS concepts Separate presentation from content (create content with HTML and style content with CSS); manage content flow (inline versus block flow); manage positioning of individual elements( float versus absolute positioning); manage content overflow (scrolling, visible and hidden); basic CSS styling. * CSS Essentials: Layouts * Arrange UI content by using CSS Use flexible box and grid layouts to establish content alignment, direction and orientation; proportional scaling and use of "free scale" for elements within a flexible box or grid; order and arrange content; concepts for using flex box for simple layouts and grid for complex layouts; grid content properties for rows and columns; use application templates. * Managing Text Flow by Using CSS Regions and using regions to flow text content between multiple sections (content source, content container, dynamic flow, flow-into, flow-from, msRegionUpdate, msRegionOverflow, msGetRegionContent); columns and hyphenation and using these CSS settings to optimise the readability of text; use "positioned floats" to create text flow around a floating object * Managing the Graphical Interface by Using CSS Graphics effects (rounded edges, shadows, transparency, background gradients, typography and Web Open Font Format); 2-D 3-D transformations (translate, scale, rotate, skew and 3-D perspective transitions and animations); SVG filter effects; Canvas. * JavaScript and coding essentials Manage and maintain JavaScript, Create and use functions; jQuery and other third-party libraries.
