| Shirodhara |
Shirodhara is the administering of a stream of warm oil onto the third eye area of the forehead. Base oils are blended with essential oils that are appropriate for correcting the doshic imbalance.
In this course you will learn the philosophy, history and principles of Ayurveda Aromatherapy and body types.
During the course of this training you will learn in detail what oils to use for what body types, the different mediums used in Shirodhara, how it effects the nervous system, and how it balances the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual state of being.
The ancient technique of Nasya is also introduced, using the partimarsha Nasya. Facial compresses and treatments are also taught, involving the use of relevant Marma points.
You will also be taken on a journey of the chakras and the subtle bodies and how to protect and balance yourself as a practitioner with meditation, oils, colours, visualization, etc, so you can in turn balance those who come to you for treatments.
Theory is followed by practical training and assessment to ensure that the whole concept is understood the traditional way.
A statement of attendance will be awarded at the completion of the seminar. |

| Scientific Proof of the Mind/Body Connection |
Scientific Proof of the Mind/Body Connection
Since the Human Genome Project has shown that humans have the same number of genes as a rat, many people are wondering what it is that makes us human. One of the most exciting developments in recent years has been the emerging scientific evidence supporting the mind/body connection, and showing the ways in which this number of genes can result in many variations.
Come and hear how academic research is finding links between our feelings, our behaviour and the subsequent development of dis-ease, including illnesses in subsequent generations. Find out how the placebo effect in drug trials and surgical procedures is turning the application of orthodox medicine on its head, much to the displeasure of pharmaceutical companies.

| The Mandala Oils - Humanifest |
The Mandala Oils are intended to communicate states of consciuosness. Each one of the Mandala Oils has been developed by Wendi Forbes over approximately 3 years of meditation and semi-retreat. They are made with vibrational essences of gems, flowers, and other elements and set in essential and base oils.
During the Mandala workshops, time is spent with each oil, giving participants time to experience the Mandala at more depth and so develop some understanding of the effect of the oil and some of the ways it can be of assistance in different forms of therapy. Some of the individual essences within the Mandala oils are also looked at, and the ways the essences interact with each other to hold the intent of the Mandala.
The workshop will be looking at the three individual oils - Heart, Consecration and Peace Oil - their development, individual actions, how each oil interacts with the human energy field, their support in times of stress or transformation, in regular spiritual practice, and as a tool in professional therapeutic practice.
