in the world today, how it relates to other Vedic philosophies, like
Yoga for example, and how it can help us be our oneself. There were
practical exercises to taste what the present reality of non-duality is
like and show how we can bring this sense of freedom and bliss into

the subject of Beauty with the aid of passages from two of Plato’s most
significant works, Republic and Symposium. We explored not only what we
find beautiful, but also why this may be so. We also perceived beauty
through art and music.
Creating the Reality you Desire with Dr Helen Ford, were
we discovered what we already have and make the best possible
use of the tools we have at our disposal. We learnt to listen
inwards and access the internal signals which constantly and
umfailingly provide us with clear information about our own
right (and wrong!) path and right (and wrong) actions. We
discovered the process of bringing dreams out of the mind and
imagination and into their perfect physical manifestation. We considered
the main fears that inhibit us from creating what we truly desire .
We looked at ways to develop a strong personal buffer zone helping
us to deal more effectively with those fears which have habitually
interfered with the free flow of pure love and inner truth which is
essential to the creation of the reality your heart truly desires.

time an event starts is important, what can be done to help a person
with a difficult life and the astrological cycles currently affecting
the U.K /U.S.
The Science & Art of Meditation with David Nock,

brain/body/mind/emotions and the part meditation can play in stress and
general ill health reductions. We also practiced different types of
Buddhist/Yoga meditations so that the effects can be confirmed for
ourselves

and science of acupuncture and spiritual practices of Qi Gong.
