Beloved Friends,
Hello and welcome to the School of Awakening! We are dedicated
to the conscious illumination of all who are thirsty to awaken
their highest potential. Our experience is that personal development
can be; loving, playful, fun, transformative, deep, ecstatic,
and divine.
2007 was a time of great upheaval and powerful change for me.
In late 2006 I went through a separation with my long term love
partner. After 12 years wrapped in a cocoon of sublime love,
we evolved into two separate butterflies in our creative expression,
and parted ways. I continued the work we had developed together,
and he went on to develop a new Tantra stream, based on his
own overflowing fountain of inspiration.
I am graced to have a wonderful new co-director in the form
of Supragya, who manages our office and organises Tantra, Angelic
Reiki and Art groups. In addition to this, a beloved friend
of 10 years, Nirav Chintan, has taken on the challenge as my
apprentice co-teacher. I am so happy to see that his vibrant,
wise and joyous teaching style is being met with open arms by
our students. I am immensely grateful for his support.
During this time of transmutation, I have really been appreciating
how valuable meditation and personal development work is. I
have been using on myself, all the tools and methods which we
offer in our school. Colour Light Therapy has supported me in
cleansing suffering from the depths of my being and helped me
to be buoyant and balanced in the face of stressful situations.
Tachyon healing has helped me to stay connected to source and
has been the greatest aid in allowing me to have deep and regenerating
sleep each night, no matter what was going on. Angelic Reiki
has supported me countless times to find my way in the jungle
of possibilities, keeping me in tune with higher wisdom. Tantra
meditation has been my mainstay, reminding me of the multidimensional
ways in which contradictory elements of life merge into alchemical
oneness. I emerge into the new dawn more strongly rooted, and
lighter at the same time.
My astrologer suggested it would be valuable to try something
different and playful. I invited Shivananda, a very talented
artist friend, to come over from Switzerland and offer a Painting
group. In a fun and exuberant weekend, he managed, through some
ingenious teaching, to enable each of the participants to walk
away with a masterpiece under their arm. My masterpiece now
hangs proudly in my living room as a testament to his teaching
abilities. The result is, we have invited him to come back in
2008 and teach an Art Group. Don't miss it! It is so liberating!
In 2008 we have some new and wonderful possibilities to explore.
We will be offering some Tantra days and weekends with the support
of live music. The One Sky Band has years of experience in creating
music for meditation and celebration. Chintan and I will also
be doing more traveling, teaching in Norway, Lithuania, and
Dharmsala, India, in addition to our usual program in England
and France.
Our school is a living breathing laboratory of human evolution.
Each person who comes discovers their own unique power to transform,
whether it be in healing, art or Tantra. We invite you to join
us as we celebrate the new dawn.
