Family Constellation Workshop with Jan Hull
Sunday, April 12th (10:00am–5:30pm)
Family Constellation Work was developed by Bert Hellinger, now well into his 80s. He grew up as a boy in Germany through the personal and cultural impact of World War ll. With the support of his parents, he fled to Africa as a 19-year-old priest and became a welcomed member of the Zulu people. Here, he learned the intricacies of Zulu family system principles and how to utilise the mystery of systemic knowing fields for insight and healing. After 20 years he made the decision to return to Germany and immerse himself in Eastern Philosophy and Western Psychotherapy. By brilliantly combining his Shamanic and Eastern teachings with Western psychology, he refined the tool of Family Constellation Work grounded in the natural laws of human relationships and their often unrealised effects on the individual.

CONFLICTING THOUGHT PATTERNS, The Four Tattvas & Energy Healing
Saturdays 2:00pm–4:00pm
Inspired by and based on Vedic teachings expressed by an enlightened master from India, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, this workshop will be facilitated by Ma Sindoori who has been ordained as a teacher by Nithyananda. The group will be small, of 7 or less, and will pave the way for you to identify the conflicting thought patterns that are blocking the manifestation of the reality you wish to live. How are these conflicting thought patterns limiting us from seeing and creating a future that we want and living a life that we want to live? Is it really possible to go beyond these limitations? We will gain an understanding of how our “root thought patterns give birth to conflicting thought patterns which are the basis of all conflicts we experience in our life.”
In all the conflicts you experience in your life – whether your relationships, your career, your health, any aspect of your life – if you look deeply, you will see that you are living in a condition of “no integrity” in those aspects of your life.
Dates coming up: May 2nd and May 30th (chai will be offered!)
For more information and to RSVP please visit our Conflicting Thought Patterns page. |

VOLUNTEERING at Bridge & Enrich
Volunteering at BE is an opportunity to practice the stewardship of a sacred space in service of self and others. BE exists to serve, and we can express gratitude for this service through maintaining the infrastructure and participating in the many avenues of expression that this space supports. A metaphor that we like is of the Goddess Kwan Yin, whose thousand hands work to serve all sentient beings with mercy and compassion. All of us together make up the thousand arms of Kwan Yin, and through our service we become extensions of this compassionate service, enriching everyone and everything that crosses our path. This is the intention of BE, and we are grateful for the hand that you lend to manifest its highest potential of service and beauty. More information here. |
