DREAMING YOUR INNER CHILD
(HONOUR SACRED ART WORKSHOPS & RETREATS)
“Open your heart,
Listen to what it is telling you,
Follow your Dreams…”
~ COMING HOME ~
Our Soul is always calling to us, but so much happens in our lives to take us away from our True Self, from our original Blueprint.
Sometimes it’s generational patterning. Sometimes it’s karmic fall out. Sometimes it’s viral imprinting.
Most often it’s the emotional experiences we pass through, especially during childhood.
Often it’s a combination of all of these.
And then slowly, little by little, we begin to close down, to lose our way, to lose our trust in ourselves and in life.
We may rush around in a constant state of distraction and busyness. We may separate. We may disconnect. We may develop addictive behaviours.
All of these are barriers we place around ourselves, protecting our hearts from further hurts and harm.
And we may lose our ability to dream, to create and to play…
When this happens we lose touch with the magic of life.
We forget the Songs of our Heart and Soul, all the innate potential with which we were born.
Dreaming Your Inner Child Workshops and Retreats offer a way, a means and a very special Access Key to bring you home to the innocence and trust of a childlike way of being. This Key grants access to the Dreamtime through re-discovering your creative self… Dragonfly is The Gatekeeper.
As our Inner Child heals, so we begin the journey home to our True Self and it’s magnificent potential ~ and we can take spread our wings and take flight…
“I have just returned from two days being immersed in an immensely rewarding and fun retreat called “Dreaming Your Inner Child. ”
TIME TO COCOON, rest and play
Deep Healing for The Inner Child through Rediscovering The Art of Play
(Rest Space ~ Brave Space ~ Play Space)
These extra special offerings are woven around all my Reiki understandings, teachings, artwork and life experience as a completely unique stand alone healing experiences.
Held in Sacred Space, we work experientially, informally and creatively inspired by colour, word, song, music, poetry, and imagery. We will also be spending time in restorative yogic practice and in the natural world.
I will be weaving in Healing Journey Meditations and working with the Medicine of Honour Being Flower and Tree Essences.
Whilst the underlying intention is serious, this will be held in an atmosphere of playfulness, joy and lightness, in Rest Space, Brave Space and Play Space.
Receive a very special Metamorphic Access Key to take home with you to create your journey onwards. Expect (positive) surprises!
““I came away having learnt a lot about my Inner Child, as well as the additional enjoyment of sharing these new understandings with my companion attendee.””
Dreaming is key
Key to a fulfilled life is the ability to dream, to envision and to bring those dreams into being in the here and now.
Sadly, for many, the harms and wounds of childhood experiences lead to a loss in trust, both in the self and in life. And often, in our adult life, this becomes buried deep inside, in the unconscious place of the Inner Child, yet determining the course of our lives.
We forget how to dream, or our dreams seem to vanish into air.
Unlived and unfulfilled lives lead to imbalances and unwellness in the emotional, energetic, psychological and spiritual aspects of our Being.
Ultimately, the body begins to give this expression through physical sensations and dis-ease.
And then what may begin as a sense of discomfort or unease, may develop into physical illness, sometimes a very serious one which begins to limit and even threaten our lives. Yet those illnesses themselves hold keys to understanding when we can see through to their true causations.
When we are wise, we listen.
Then those illness may themselves become the '“growth point”, when we can embrace the realisations they bring.
Then the illness itself may become a healing gift.
“There is no greater wisdom than that of the body.”
THE BIRTH OF DREAMING YOUR INNER CHILD & THE HEALING GIFT OF ILLNESS
(A personal journey)
After years of gradual and slowly declining health, despite all my best efforts and following my “healing journey”, I was diagnosed in February 2023 with a rare autoimmune condition called Large and Medium Vessel Vasculitis with Polymyalgia Rheumatica. The PET Scan I received showed that I was lit up like a flame inside all the blood vessels to my main organs and my aorta, having increasingly severe consequences for my mobility. These vessels carry my life’s blood which in turn carries all the oxygen and nutrients my body and mind needs. The Scan also showed that I was in imminent danger of multiple aneurisms. Fortunately, none of my organs had been damaged.
Autoimmune conditions occur when the body attacks itself. My body was attacking my blood vessels and my cardiovascular system.
My diagnosis was truly a lightbulb moment.
“This is known as enlightenment.
And during enlightenment we may lighten up…”
That was a moment at which I could have continued to attack myself for “creating the illness”, and so continued to worsen it by making myself my own victim…
Instead I chose to embrace with gratitude the diagnosis, my dedicated medical team, the massive doses of steroids necessitated to safeguard me ~ and to ask how come this had happened… and how I might walk the road of true healing on behalf of myself of others and those like me.
I recognised that somewhere deep inside, I was blaming myself for everything that had ever happened to me, all the losses and all the griefs, directing anger, accusation and judgement towards myself and my body for not “doing” as I wished. Somewhere inside myself, I held a deep belief that I was unworthy of being loved and nourished, and my wise body was simply showing me the truth of that.
As I embraced it all, something extraordinary began to happen. The switch that had been turned to “No” moved to “Yes”, and joy, trust, creativity, gratitude, love, friendship, clients simply poured into my life ~ so much abundance in so many forms.
My work with others is built on love, compassion and kindness. What I am learning now is how essential it is (and challenging) to direct those qualities towards myself, to become tender, gentle and accepting of myself ~ and to appreciate all that I am without having to try. As I have learnt to truly forgive myself, so I am well on the road to recovery ~ and not least because of the deeply healing effect of receiving Golden Way Reiki.
Sometimes the greatest wisdom is to reach out and to ask for the love, help and support of others ~ and the most difficult thing to do…
Sometimes simply to be is enough.
Sometimes simply to be is the only road to healing.
“Transformation requires rest...”
And what I also realised is that there was nowhere in my life for play, for joy simply for the sake of it and no where for deep rest and stillness.
As if in answer to a prayer, a beautiful Soul Sister offered me a very special Key, A Metamorphic Access Key, to enable me to begin my personal Metamorphic Journey of transformational healing. That Key opened a channel in me to the Dreamtime, and Dreaming Your Inner Child began to download.
That is ongoing.
As part of Dreaming Your Inner Child, I offer this Metamorphic Access Key to you, as well as sharing the practices which I am bringing into my life to help my personal healing.
Should you decide to spend a weekend in my company, dreaming your own Inner Child back into healing, re-learning how to play, I will truly be walking alongside you in all my own vulnerability and humanness.
“Let’s learn how to dream, create and play together ~ power and beauty in unity and harmony.”
