Welcome to my Stop Press Page!
This page will have different things written up at different times. At others there will be nothing. It just depends what I feel like talking about and what I think could be of use.....
Late last year I ran my Total Team Treat Workshop for a local organisation, the team were a great bunch and it was a lot of fun running this with them.
What a delight it is to find a parcel pick up note when you are not expecting it! The other day I received a parcel from England. My cousin Robert Parkinson had sent me a copy of his latest book!
Rob, originally trained as a teacher, then because of his love and ability with music as well as his love of literature, decided to become a Jongleur (Story teller with musical instruments). So, Rob would travel around the countryside telling tales for a living. He was so good at this. I remember when he came to Australia and had some bookings here, he let us hear an example of his work. Such a talented man!
When I was studying Hypnosis I thought back to how entrancing Rob was in his story telling and so wrote to him telling him about Milton Erickson, hypnosis and metaphors. Rob then went off studied and trained in Ericksonian Hypnosis and has been running a successful practice for several years now!
This book is an absolute treat for any hypnotherapist who works in metaphor, it would also be an excellent text for anyone studying in the area and a great read for anyone interested in the subject.
I started reading it immediately and found it difficult to put down (again I have two books on the go)! Rob has done an amazing amount of research in writing this book which is very evident in the pages as one reads and there are lots of metaphors and examples of use woven throughout the book. I am still keenly reading!
The book is called ‘Transforming Tales – How Stories Can Change People’ by Rob Parkinson, Jessica Kingsley Publishers www.jkp.com. I thoroughly recommend it!
Last Novemebr I was employed by an organisation to teach therapists the BE SET FREE FAST technique to utilise with their clients in Ballarat and the Grampians Region, there may be some reseach come out of this - I'm hoping!
I run BE SET FREE FAST from Anxiety & Stress at the Byron Community College in Mullumbimby once a term. Contact the College to book in if you feel you would like to try this in it's simplest form!
At the end of May last year, I ran a small Solution Oriented Workshop for the Australian Hypnotherapist's Association Workshop Day in Brisbane. One gets to mix with many other Hypnotherapists at these meetings and learn from others too.
A workshop I attended last year that I really enjoyed was a Semi-Precious Stones Earrings Workshop with Jeanette Stein in Byron Bay, The price was very reasonable and Jeanette's skills are amazing! If you are interested for yourself phone Jeanette on 0412888659
Apart from making the most amazing jewellery, Jeanette is an RN, the Author of The Magic of Healing in Crystal Minerals, she is also a Naturopath/Herbalist, a Gemologist (spelling?!) and makes her own natural line of products for skin care. So if you are local and want to purchase something special as a gift from this area, give Jeanette a ring! Jeanette does sell over the Internet, so available globally. Jeanette is also brilliant with iridology and health. People can take a photo of their eyes and email the photo for a consultation, so again, Jeanette is very available globally! I can't speak highly enough of this lady!
I also have copies of Inna Segal's latest version of The Sectret Language of you Body $35 plus postage. Let me know if you are interested.
CELEBRATING THE SACRED FEMININE ~ TWO Day Workshop is back in the pipe-line. Not sure when we will run this at this stage as Patricia has moved to Coffs Harbour
For any Enquiries Contact me on 02 6685 0444
But here's the blurb...
Let your left brain take a holiday! This workshop takes feminist scholarship and through meditative processes and experiential exercises, will allow participants to experience an empowered femininity. (sorry guys, yours will be created a little down the track!) Participants will experience the BE SET FREE FAST technique within the workshop and be able to utilise this for future use, see BE SET FREE FAST in the Menu to get the gist of what you will experience in that.
By the end of this experiential workshop we are expecting you will:
~Learn how to recognise beliefs and implement desired changes
~Utilise BE SET FREE FAST to your advantage
~Enrich your reality map through being able to step into the feel of empowered and free women
~See the world through their attitudes, beliefs and capabilities
~Embody the feel of a chosen heroine at any moment you assess it to be useful
