<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This course is for counsellors who are looking to gain some knowledge and understanding to work with groups. If you have found yourself either running groups or being asked to run groups you will know how daunting this is. So this 3 day training aims to give you greater understanding of how groups work from a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic perspective. This will be underpinned with practice both through the use of case studies and on the final day within the group itself.&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Lorna Marchant who is running this course has been running groups for more than 25 years, she has studied group theory and written about groups during this time and believes that now, as more counsellors are being required to run groups this will be a timely addition to your CPD portfolio.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">The fee of &pound;120 is for 3 sessions, 7th, 14th and 28th September 2024</p>

Advanced Phlebotomy - Skills & Techniques (GPT005)

Everything is energy. This is a simple scientific fact. When our energy is flowing and we are in harmony with ourselves, our world reflects this same harmony. Yet so few of us work in harmony with our energies. We question why we suffer the same problems over and over again. We wonder why we work on ourselves yet still don't seem to see the progress we would like. 
The answer could well lie within your energy.
There are seven main energy centres, or chakras, within our personal energy field that govern different areas of your life. In cleansing and healing each chakra, you open yourself up to cleansing and healing the associated aspect of your life. You clear physical and emotional blocks to free your energies to flow and bring in success, joy, and love. 
As you progress through this 9-week energy healing journey, you will learn about each chakra. You will discover where each one is located in your energetic body as well as what each is associated with so you can connect with that chakra more effectively. You'll discover how your chakras are affecting your health, your relationships, your career, and all other areas of your life. 
Each workshop will start by reflecting on your experience so far and thinking about what you would like to achieve over the next seven days.
We will cover various exercises and activities in the session for you to do throughout the week to continue to work with your energies. You can choose what  you would like to do moving forward to support each chakra. In addition, there are daily journal prompts for you to do first thing in the morning and last thing at night. This is your opportunity to note down your experiences and insights and explore the energy of each chakra in more depth. 
You can do the same activities all week or you can switch things up and do something different every day. This is YOUR journey, so choose what feels right to you. 
If you’re still unsure which ones to do, Thea is available via email for guidance throughout the week. 
In the first week, we will assess your current state of being to establish the baseline you’re working from. This is where you see where you are in this moment so you can compare your progress at the end of the course.  This week is also a useful introduction to establishing the routine you’re going to follow throughout the course. It will help you develop the habit of journaling morning and night and deciding when is good for you to do your chosen activities. You may like to do these first thing in the morning before or after journaling; at some point during the day when you have some time to yourself; or in the evening before you reflect on your day in the journal. 
The second week of the course is when we progress to working with the chakras, starting with the root chakra. We will spend a week connecting with the root chakra and working to free up any blocked or stagnant energy so it’s clear and the energy flowing before you move on to the sacral. After a week with the sacral chakra, we’ll then move up to the solar plexus and so on and so on. 
In the ninth and final week of the course you’ll reflect on your progress and look at the changes you’ve experienced over the past few weeks. You’ll check in with each chakra and notice how it feels now compared to when you started. You’ll be given exercises you can do moving forward to keep you connected to your personal flow of energy so you can identify and clear any blocks before they can cause any problems. 
When you’ve finished, you may feel there’s more work you need to do. Replays will be available to all attendees, so you can go back and focus on the chakra(s) you think need extra support or simply go back to the beginning and start the process all over again!
Everyone who signs up for the course will receive a free copy of the accompanying workbook so they have a personal record of their experience of the course.

Will you do it at lunch time? in the evening? How realistic is this? &nbsp;Is there a place in your house where you could sit to pray? Will&nbsp;those you share space with will be able to respect your commitment to the retreat?</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This won&#39;t be for everyone, but for those who are drawn to take part in this prayer experience, I have no doubt that it will be a positive and enriching time. I am really looking forward to sharing this space with you.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>
