Special Events

JumpStart

August 24 to 30 inclusive

JumpStart is a seven-day residential programme that seeks to assist people in breaking free of unrewarding and unhealthy patterns in the areas of nutrition, bodywork, communication and self-expression. At present we offer one course a year in late summer, held at Oxonhoath in Kent. In JumpStart we come to discover that health, in all its manifestations, is a function of establishing and maintaining a dynamic balance with the manifold forces of life. This occurs when we are able to achieve a working partnership with life and the natural order of the universe.

i Evolve

July 31, August 1, 2 & 5

After having served as the main gateway programme to the educational work of the Institute for the past 15 years, Being-in-Action has been retired in favour of a new transformational programme - i Evolve - that builds upon the earlier work and offers a new engagement with life that is at once redemptive, yet at the same time acts as a springboard to catapult our lives into the unknown of evolutionary possibility.

It is our contention that human being exists within an immense field of possibility, but one of which it has little knowledge and even less access. This state of affairs reminds us of the Japanese proverb which asserts that "a frog in a well cannot comprehend the ocean". Human being has "fallen" into a narrow world in which the rules of the game have already been set, the pathways laid down, and the winners and losers already chosen, or at the very least, understood.
