Discover the Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT: An Introductory Workshop with Kate Zuill

Emotional Freedom Technique is an amazingly effective treatment which involves gently tapping energy points around the body whilst focusing on emotional or physical issues. Yes – most definitely physical as well.

Everything that has ever happened to us is stored somewhere in the body. Any negative emotions, stress or trauma we have experienced may manifest in turn in the form of an illness, emotional issues or physical pain or just something that holds us back.

EFT can address these issues stored in the body releasing emotional pain as well as physical pain with sometimes breathtaking results. Other times it is a gradual peeling away of related issues with no less staggering results. If relief is swift there will very likely be other issues connected that too need addressing.

A 1 day EFT course with Kate Zuill takes place on 2 dates in 2011 at Farncombe - visit our website for further details or contact 033 3456 8580.

King Alfred: The Fact and the Fantasy - A new weekend course at Farncombe for 2011

With Tim Porter 21 - 23 January 2011.

Soldier, scholar, reformer – that is an unusual combination at the best of times. For a hereditary ruler, you’d be lucky to find it once in a thousand years. Yet Alfred stepped into English History at its moment of worst crisis, and deployed these qualities to memorable effect. Today, we must try to decide why, when and how! This course aims to unpick the threads and reveal the real Alfred. We also look at his reputation, trying to understand why every subsequent age has needed to re-invent him in its own image. Issues to be examined include: How far can we trust the original sources? How much of Alfred’s image was self-created? What was the extent of his scholarship? Where did the decisive battles take place? Using slides, maps and even music, we also look at the strange statues and monuments whereby later generations turned man into myth, and the haunting landscapes which still survive.

Observing the Universe - Gain a deeper understanding of the Universe in which we live

In this course with Ian Morison the latest observations will be used to show how our Universe has evolved since the Big Bang and how the stars and galaxies came into being so that, later, solar systems could form with planets capable of supporting life. There will be practical exercises which will include the evolution of stars, the distances to nearby stars and measuring the age of the Universe. In addition a survey will be given of the instruments that one can buy to make your own observations, and a number of telescopes will be provided so that, if clear, you can make observations with these and your own instruments. If cloudy, we will carry out some "virtual observing" and give a gentle introduction to digital astro-imaging.

Course is tutored at Farncombe 3-5 December 2010 (see our website for a special offer on non-residential bookings).
