Emotional release is key to health and wellbeing. It brings us into presence with the whole of who we are and allows us to return to an open and centred sense of ourselves.

By discharging stagnant / long-held emotions we create space for our truth to emerge and to connect with our heart’s desires, joy and pleasure!

John Lockley is a traditionally trained Sangoma (African Shaman) from the Xhosa nation, the same tribe as Nelson Mandela
and Desmond Tutu.

He will be offering shamanic teachings from South Africa; focusing on ancestors, Ubuntu (humanity) and dreams. A key question is ‘what does it mean to be a human being?’ And ‘How can we realise our humanity?’
In Africa to connect with spirit means to dance and sing. John leads his talks like a ceremony, with storytelling, dancing and chanting in the Xhosa language. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and learn about one of the oldest shamanic cultures in the world, the sangoma medicine people from South Africa.

John Lockley is one of the first modern white men in recent history to become a fully initiated Xhosa sangoma (African Shaman). His journey begins while working as a medic in the South African military towards the end of apartheid.

He trained extensively under Zen master Su Bong in South Korea before returning back to post-apartheid South Africa where he spent 10 years in apprenticeship with MaMngwevu, a medicine woman from the Xhosa tribe. She named him Cingolweendaba, meaning the messenger or connector between people and cultures. John now splits his time teaching in South Africa, Ireland, Europe, and the US, facilitating 'Way of the Leopard' retreats.

John Lockley will be leading a one day ceremony focusing on helping people to connect to their natural wisdom,
their Ubuntu (humanity).

He facilitates in a traditional South African way using drumming, singing and storytelling to activate peoples’ hearts and awaken their spirits. Ubuntu is seen as a circle, with each person being the centre
of their circle. People will sit in a circle around an earth altar, constructed in a traditional African shamanic way to help
people connect with their ancestors, the root of their being.

To connect to the larger circle, we are called to listen deeply and awaken our bones and blood. Participants will be taught an ancestral healing practice. The practice starts with our hearts, our inner pulse and continues into our dreams.

The natural world is threatened and we as humans are called to wake up and become guardians of the world. How can we do this?

By becoming wild and reconnecting with our instinctual selves. In South Africa they do this through an intricate mix of prayer, dancing, ancestral work and dreaming.

This workshop will be conducted as a ceremony involving a mixture of stillness, movement, and a discussion on ancestors and dreams. The stillness practice will involve heart-beat meditation where participants will be guided to connect with their pulse, their life force. The movement practice is the trance dance or xhentsa, also known as shaking medicine. It is a simple and easy practice and doesn’t require loads of fitness and stamina. The dancing and meditation will help to facilitate deeper relaxation, dream recall and ancestral connection.

The Leopard is revered in Southern Africa as a totem of intuitive intelligence, with the ability to move between worlds, the world of spirit and nature. It is a noble creature with a silent promise of what is possible if we learn to listen with the entirety of our being.

We all have an aura (energy field) that surrounds us and is part of who we are.
Like most things in life, it needs care and attention to keep it healthy.

Today we will look at how your aura and chakra system work together. When your aura is out of balance or not working
properly, it can affect your well-being, focus, energy levels and sense of security.

During the day we will use simple exercises, which will include how to check your auras size and shape, as well as whether
any changes or repairs are needed. You will then learn simple techniques to keep your aura healthy with regular maintenance through visualisations, intention, self-healing and connecting with your spirit guides.

Throughout the day this workshop will cover:
• The theory and mechanics of the human energy system
• Understanding the aura in depth
• The relationship between the aura and chakra system
• Techniques for self-care and balancing of your energy system

Please bring a notebook and pen.

2.5 hour Healing Group Session. The theme for today's circle is Power.

We will start this session with a 20 minute talk on power, ours, yours, mine, the universe and ultimately Source/God's. How we use our power and how that affects us all. What power-full, power-less and the right to use power actually means, especially important at this time. Using inspirational speaking, Lucy will talk about this subject and encourage questions. We will continue using the practice of how to open up properly and incorporate that into the healing work and we will close our session by having the experience of what it feels like to be properly closed down, grounded and protected.

This is an important opportunity to receive healing within a group atmosphere, on a personal level. To clear blocks, receive
guidance and inspiration and to make way for the new. Working with guided visualisation and meditation, participants will be encouraged to work and to relax into the experience. Allowing the body to gently release tension and issues starting with an energetic cleanse, enabling the healing to work at a deep and profound level.

Strengthening the heart and soul connection, Lucy will work with her guides to facilitate this individual experience on your healing journey, holistic and gentle, calm and dynamic. The session will be relaxed and informal, participants will be given the opportunity to lie down, creating a safe space to let go and rejuvenate.

There will be time for questions before we close and have a cup of tea together, between 4pm - 4.15pm ensuring you are grounded and ready to walk out into the world at 4.30pm. We have cushions, blankets and chairs to make sure that you are comfortable. No entry after 2.10pm - Limited spaces.

Sound has been used for many thousands of years across many different cultures in ritual, for therapeutic purposes and in
healing. Come and rediscover the link.

This workshop offers the key to unlocking and understanding the hidden elements of the voice, the responsibility that we carry when we use these elements, and what happens when we reconnect with our voices and find the power within them.
Tapping in to our voice and its sound power can allow us to connect more deeply and honestly with others – our audience,
clients, our friends and family.

This workshop is an intensive experience, combining a lecture demonstration with active participation and exploration, whilst putting the work into context by cross-referencing both scientific and spiritual principles in the light of the latest research. An event for participants who are seeking to expand their knowledge and experience of how sound can change consciousness, including those engaged in healing, and therapeutic work, as well as professional practitioners in the fields of music, drama and voice.

How the day unfolds: The morning is a demonstration of shamanic sounds from different cultures where Derek works individually with each participant (in short sessions of 5 to 10 minutes) and uses these demonstrations to initiate discussion within the group. He uses his own voice to allow each individual to experience the potential of sound to change consciousness as well as to stimulate physical and other responses.

There is some science and mathematics along the way, and a placing of the work in historical and philosophical context.
In the afternoon the group works with collective sound improvisation, so there is an opportunity for participants to use their own voices based on the experiences of the morning’s demonstrations and discussion. The aim of the afternoon’s work is to unlock the ability to combine intuition, imagination, intention and sound to enhance the capacity to communicate and the potential to heal and self-heal through the voice.

For the individual this also means a broadening of consciousness combined with inner balance through the interaction with sound. There is no requirement for vocal ability or conventional musicality (although both qualities would be welcomed)! Dress comfortably. There will be no movement but there will be some standing during the improvisation exercises.

Derek Barnes is a professional musician and vocal specialist who divides his career between his work as a conductor, composer and arranger, and as an educationalist, vocal teacher and voice coach. In the UK, France, Germany, Scandinavia and the USA he has directed workshops and lectures demonstrating sound and consciousness, the theraputic use of voice and voice in communication. Derek is also an accredited Healer Member of The Healing Trust (National Federation of Spiritual Healers).
