We are offering an Annual Child Protection Awareness Course at your organisation for up to 50 people for a low cost of £800+vat. It’s essential that anyone who works or volunteers with children or young people has the knowledge and skills needed to help keep children safe. But what does that mean in practice? Statutory guidance sets out the child protection requirements for people working or volunteering with children in the UK.

Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders®) are vital to helping boost employee wellbeing as we adjust to a completely changed workplace environment.

The cost of the Retreat is £625. A deposit of £325 secures your space with the remaining £300 payable by September. From the moment we are born, even before we are born, we are experiencing loss. Our sorrows can gather and grow and become the path that we most fear to tread. If only we collectively knew that by giving ourselves an opportunity to be with our sorrow and turn towards our hidden pain, we may find our way home to our Self sooner.  We have to be able to grieve to praise life and connect with our full authentic selves, it is testament to the fact that we love. Grief gets stuck and like trauma, it is downloaded into our bodies, which stops the flow of our accurate present moment experiences, our access to Self-Energy and living freely. We are wired to connect and co-regulate to survive. Connection in community is no longer a priority in many societies today. We may have lost the sense of belonging that our ancestors once had, through living in community, in tribes and villages.  This 3-day retreat offers a unique space of holding for expressing the unexpressed, being witnessed, enabling each in their own way to be seen, heard and felt together in community. This is often our missing experience. We will be laying the ground for the expression and witnessing of grief in community, that which is deeply personal, yet universal. Four passionate grief warriors who know from the inside the importance of being with grief and having walked this path with many, are offering an opportunity to honour our losses and live our fullest life. We will be stepping outside of our cultural burdens of individualism to come together with our sorrow.  We will be exploring grief as much broader than (and including) the loss of a loved one. We may also experience the grief of our expectations not being met for this life; grief held in our systems from our ancestors; grief of events in the world; grief about the harm we have caused others in our lives; the grief that our parts hold as our life changes as we and our families age; and the grief held by our parts as we heal and consider how different things could have been for them.  This retreat will be held within the frame of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), with heart opening sacred ritual and ceremony, incorporating sound healing, gongs, drums and voice and supported by yoga, Reiki, meditation and internal enquiry. We will be making use of the beautiful grounds at Penny Brohn (Bristol) to support our healing and connecting intentions. Our retreat is suitable for anyone with some familiarity with IFS either through your own personal work or professional practice.  The space will be held by Lynn Palethorpe, Sally Burke, Zandra Bamford and Becky Cresswell.  Lynn is a gentle and containing Approved IFS Consultant, Certified IFS Therapist (L3) and Clinical and IFS Supervisor. Alongside her private practice, she’s a Program Assistant on IFS trainings, Lecturer in Counselling and Reiki Practitioner. Sally works collaboratively and compassionately as an Integrative Psychotherapist, Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, IFS Certified Therapist, Approved Consultant with the IFS Institute and Reiki Practitioner. Zandra is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Approved IFS Consultant and Certified IFS Therapist with over 20 years experience working with complex trauma within a deeply compassionate and holistic approach.

It is not just the sorrowful tender tears that come in those quiet moments. Grief is feral and it asks us to lay our soul bare, to strip back to the bones, to surrender control, she will not be negotiated or tamed. It can arrive as anger, fear, sadness, guilt, apathy, despair, numbness, powerlessness and hopelessness. And when we are witnessed and validated, acknowledged and held in loving empathic heart presence a level of healing occurs that is deeply and profoundly freeing……” Stephen Jenkinson Lynn Palethorpe Sally Burke Zandra Bamford Becky Cresswell

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 last week-end of the month per 13months (different dates in December due to Christmas) break in July and August) 10am-5pm GMT time each day 25th-26th October 2025 29th-30th November 2025 13th-14th December 2025 24th-25th January 2026 21st-22nd February 2026 28th-29th March 2026 25th-26th April 2026 30th-31st May 2026 27th-28th June 2026 26th-27th September 2026 24th-25th October 2026 28th-29th November 2026 12th-13th December 2026 You have time till the 28th November 2025 to sign up.
