Exploring the field of consciousness and the return to inner harmony through practical body-mindfuln

Dr Graham Mead is a South African-born medical doctor who has been exploring the field of consciousness and mind and the crucial link that intimate awareness of physiological feelings and other sensations on the body provides in liberating our ability to experience freedom and well-being, which he calls Aliveness, in every moment.
---
In 2003 he gave up conventional medical practice to directly pursue his increasingly pressing interest in the primary origin of disease and identifying what exactly liberates the expression of overall health and well being within an individual. A deep internal crisis followed shortly after and the ensuing inner journey led to an intimate exploration of breath work, movement, subtle energy therapy, meditation and the critical role of relationship in facilitating freedom of mind (memory) and body. A keen interest in subtle internal movement through long-standing martial arts training led to further exploration of the mind and ‘heart’ in movement and the impact of trauma and psychological conditioning on the physiology. A post-graduate study of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture followed, though ultimately it was through his clients that he made most of his discovery, seeing each as a message from life to help unlock insight that he sensed already existed within himself and others. An insistence on embodied self-awareness through practical, experiential insight of the body-mind as a dynamic, sensory phenomena with an innate capacity to thrive, inspires his current work.

This Parenting Workshop is for those seeking a more conscious, mindful approach to parenting. By understanding your child’s development alongside your own inner patterns, you’ll learn to respond to challenges with wisdom instead of reaction. It’s an invitation to parent with clarity, presence, and deeper connection-to nurture your children while growing yourself.

A few spaces still available…

Connection

A practice Day with Dr Graham Mead
Connecting with ourselves can bring us into wholesome, constructive relationship with everything around us and that relationship can bring us to a deeper relationship with God and our life purpose.

In this workshop we will look at:

The form and practice of connection inwardly and outwardly and how to evolve it

The significance of character transformation and our general conduct

The interplay of intention and attention with regard to practice and purpose

The majority of the day will involve attention and awareness integration practices. The practices will be layered to bring about a deep, embodied understanding of connection.

Come and join us to enrich your practice while connecting to a conscious community in a lovely setting. All welcome.

Open Body, Stable Mind

In this retreat we’ll be delving deeper into the relevance and practice of body awareness, freeing up the fascia and liberating qi, alongside mind strengthening practices and the cultivation of stillness.

A 6-day retreat is transformative and will enrich your practice significantly. Six full days with very little distraction and a peaceful setting in which to explore the mind and body relationship in depth. People who have attended long retreats (some many times), have found them to be particularly valuable, not only for the significant deepening of their practice, but also the community and support that develops amongst attendees.

If you are serious about the transformation of your mind and body, this retreat would be very useful on a yearly basis to maintain the intensity of focus often required for inner work. But most of all, the retreat is replenishing, interesting and fun…and the food is magical.

Anyone interested in attending or for further information, please contact Mandy at office@grahammead.com.

Last day riding through Hells Gate National Park on way to Masai Mara. Fantastic fun today and great way to end this unbelievable trip with its extraordinary scenery.
The End.

We camped on this mountain called Ololokwe in northern Kenya. The view was unbelievable at both sunset and sunrise. We were at the same height as the vultures you can see in the second video- hundreds of them, which is a sign of a healthy ecosystem.
Fascinating that the elephants climb this unusually steep slope too. We found a small black mamba on the way, which was promptly killed by the Samburu staff!
From the mountain we saw an access road to a pylon high up on another mountain- so we decided to ride it the next morning. We were initially stopped by a goat herder with an AK 47, but after checking our bags, he quickly relaxed and let us pass. The road was rough and clearly not well maintained…and suddenly there were camels- massive ones!
The fun ended in me having to tow Tauray to the nearest town to get his bike fixed. And yes that’s a couch on the little bike we passed later on.

White Water Rafting on the Nile! This was fun. You can choose mild or wild for every rapid and this determines how you approach the rapid and whether the boat flips or not. Obviously we chose wild.
We have left Uganda and are back in Kenya- avoiding being killed by buses and vans around the cities again as you can see.
‘Tenting’ at my friend Rob’s place with Tim Knight and enjoying a bird’s eye view of Mt Kenya (unfortunately cloudy today).
