COURSES:
-
Meditating and drawing the 4 elements,
Fire, Air, Water and Earth
4 evenings, one element per evening.
The meditation starts with observation and description of the element. From that we will make a drawing to put all what we have seen into one image. This image will be then support of our meditation. The meditation consists then in concentration on what have been seen to intensify the feelings experience. It creates an heart connection with the element.
The purpose of this process is to move from appearance into the forces behind appearance.
It gives a feeling of deep connection with the natural world.
It is very beautiful to do it especially at that time of the year, while every forces are rising so strongly, the warmth coming, the plants growing, the flower blossoming.

Dear Clients and friends, I’m happy to let you know about the following course:
|
If my organs could speak |
4 Thursdays evenings van 18.00 till 19.30 |
In Dutch, English or French, according to the group. |
- Get some insight about the secret life of your organs and experience the deep relaxation it can give.
- Experience how the organ's system can influence or be influenced by your psychology.
- Get some images of your organ's system that you can easy recall and meditate as a inner-clearing process.
Usually the organs are staying in a deep silence out of reach of consciousness, except when we get sick. Those evenings give you the possibility to build a picture of the main organs and to connect to their specificity. You don't have to wait to get sick to know what happens inside you!
We will observe 4 main organs:the heart, the lungs, the liver and the kidneys.

If my organs could speak
Experimental day: Organs and constellation
I'm happy to let you know about this experimental day ; Organ's contellation.
Organ's are not only seen in their biological functions but also as specific personages with very specific qualities speaking together. Descriptions of organs will be based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and on Anthroposophy.
I will try to introduce those characters and Ingela will guide the constellations.
You can come as representant or to make your own constellation.
What is a constellation:
This method has been developed by Bert Hellinger: The family constellations. It works within a group.
How does it work: Based on the explanations and short exercises we will do, you feel how the 5 main organs are playing in you. You choose then from the group some people to represent those organs. You place them intuitively in the room. The relations between those organs are now visible in the space.
Through the place they get, representants start to experience some feelings of insights. A dialogue can start between them and what is necessary for more harmony can be expressed and done. Old structures can be left, new possibilities can be integrated.
This method is beautiful through its simplicity and efficiency: It's healing from insight and heart.

October- december 2010:
The 4 elements through meditation and elements constellation.
Phenomenology of Fire, Air, Water and Earth.
Make the experience of the 4 elements and get more harmony within.
- presentation day: explanation of phenomenology as meditative method and of the principle of a constellation.
lesson 1 to 4: meditations about the elements Fire, Air, Water and Earth, (1,5 h./lesson).
description of the 5th element.
Lesson 5 and 6: Element constellation, (2h./les).
Phenomenology is a way of meditation where we learn to get deeper in our natural perception's abilities. We go from usual perception to an inner experience of what we are looking at.
Starting from an objective description of what we are studying, we deepen it though 3 layers which are: Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition.
The more practice, the deeper!
Element constellation:
This method has been developped by Bert Hellinger: The family constellations. It works within a group.
How does it work: Based on the experiences from the 4 other lessons, you feel how the 4 or 5 elements are playing in you. You choose then from the group some people to represent these elements. You place them intuitively in the room. The relations between those elements are now visible in the space.
Through the place they get, representants start to experience some feelings of insights. A dialogue can start between them and what is necessary for more harmony can be expressed and done. Old structures can be left, new possibilities can be integrated.
This method is beautiful through its simplicity and efficiency: It's healing from insight and heart.
Price: 27eu. / meditation evening, 33 eu./ constellation evening.
Date: starts in October, definitive dates still to come.

The 4 elements through meditation and art
Same meditations on the 5 elements than in the lesson above (The 4 elements, meditations and constellation),
but this time the meditation is followed by art to refine the experience even deeper and to fix it as an image in our memory.
The purpose is not to do a nice peace of art but to have an experience deep enough to be reminded by us.
When our inner images can touch something of the essence of things beyong our usual perception, they become healing powers in us

Study group "Spiritual science " from Rudolf Steiner
Purpose:
To study the basic knowledge of the spiritual science as given by Rudolf Steiner in his book "Science of the occult"( Die geheimwissenschaft im Umriss, GA 13).
Structure of one lesson:
- Presentation and explanation of one chapter of the book "Science of the occult".
- Questions and discussion.
- Possibly meditation based on what has been studied.
Content:
The "Science of the occult"refers to a knowledge, which was in the ancients times reserved for initiated people in temples. ( Greece, Egypte, India, Inca and many more). Since renaissance we have learned through scientific development, to develop the forces of the individual thinking: The intellect. Gaining this individual force is gaining in individual freedoom, but we had to pay a high price: The progressive loss of any connection with the content and the experiences of the ininiatic knowledge.
Through the work of Rudolf Steiner, we kan nowadays use our recently developed intellect to get in touch with this specific knowledge. It is a kind of new and modern initiatic way, which happens in a full daylight, the light of the ratio.
Subsequent topics:
_ Human structure according to the spiritual science.
- Creation of the univers, the planets, the minerals, plants, animals and human beings.
- Evolution of the univers and the role of the human being in it.
- The spirituals hierarchies, their actions and interactions.
- Sleep and death. Origine of seakness.
- Freedom and love.
Price:
15 eu. per lesson.
One lesson is around 2 hours long.
Frequency: One lesson a month.
Number of participant: Between 5 and 12. A groep starts when 5 inscriptions are in.
Languages:
French, English and Dutch. The chopice will depend on the group.
