A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
Events such as the ones I organise are about good energy, friendship and trust, and so it is only fair for me to offer you a bit of welcoming background about myself. I love being around people, helping as much as I can. I believe that, through helping others, we help ourselves live a better, more peaceful life. I believe strongly that compassion is the way to a happy life. I am no stranger to suffering, and have been through difficult times during my younger years, but I have managed to find the path to healing. I enjoy helping to bring similar healing to others, too. COMPASSION THROUGH SELF-COMPASSION
Being there for ourselves, and for others, is so important. Compassion, love and understanding have all been a big part of my healing journey. I believe that the way to a happy life is to love ourselves, share the love around us, and above all to understand that each person we meet is only looking to be happy. I think it’s so important that we treat ourselves with compassion, so that it can also overflow around us towards other people. ANIMALS AND NATURE
I believe that our compassion can extend widely, beyond humans, to all beings. I love animals, and I believe that all beings should be treated equally, and should be free. I love nature, and I love walking in forests. THE SACRED AND THE CEREMONIAL
In recent years I have learned more about the power of ritual and ceremony to help us make to most of ourselves. For me, it's important that it is a freeing experience, allowing us to be together in a safe space, learning more about ourselves, and growing together. As well as having been a participant, I am now beginning to enjoy being more of a facilitator, helping to provide a treasured place and time, so that participants can explore and experience themselves and each other without fear, and with a true sense of freedom to be themselves. I simply want to pass on what I have learned and benefited from, and bring it to others. MUSIC
I feel a deep connection with music, and I believe one way of getting in touch with our own feelings is through the use of music. After a recent healing journey, I have found myself more open to music. Beautiful music has helped me realise that each moment is important, and that we must live our lives by accepting, and connecting with, our own emotions. Music has been teaching me that it’s ok to pause our busy lives, to enjoy the rhythms, and to dance and sing our emotions out of us. Through music, when we feel safe to do so, we can let emotions flow within us but without us, without our control or planned reaction. Music is part of our lives, and can be used for beneficial therapeutic purposes. I feel lucky to have music in my life, and I look forward to helping you, and others I meet on my journey, to let go of our own expectations and control, and just let the music flow through our being. Whether through conversation, activity or music, I love to meet new people, and look forward to meeting you.
