UNCOVERING GRACE
Dates: 9 - 11 December
A Yoga of Voice and
Feelings
'I am at home. Fear
is the stranger here'
Yoga of the Chinese Organ Sounds
INTRODUCING NEW WORK RESEARCHED AND DEVELOPED BY ANTOINETTE SPILLANE.
This is a Practice that teaches how to face
and diminish sensations of fear in the form
of familiar negative emotions, experienced
as vibrations in the body, and interpreted
by the mind as hurt, anger, grief, worry,
etc.
It is an embodied practice that inspires and
directs the uncovering of a vision of an
original, superior function of the 5 organs
as sensitive navigators, guiding us through
life. A re-training, or tuning-up of
instinctive gut feelings.
Using a Practice that includes physical
gestures and expressions of breath and
voice, with potent instructions on colour
and sound that come from the founding wisdom
of Chinese medicine.
A practice that may be used to 'compost'
negative emotions, changing them into a
state of equilibrium and sometimes
transcendent insight.
In spite of all our work, depression and
every form of anguish continues to arise for
many of us. It is a logical consequence for
individuals living within a status quo that
believes in Attack/Defence, portrayed
everywhere as "Reality".
All spiritual teaching tells us that fear is
not real, and points to the grace and joy
that blooms under everything that seems to
be happening. Although we embrace that
thought it can be hard to embody it when the
pressure is on.
This is an embodied practice. In time it
becomes simply a way of being.
It is a way of engaging with emotion as a
physical and faithful task, Invoking a
learned new body language that shows up
under old pathways of hurt. An old tool,
which in the light of present day teaching
of people like Ekhart Tolle, or ACIM, has
come into its time, as a way of coping with
emotions by illuminating the grace behind
them, ever present Now, without going into
the history that gave rise to them.
It is my creative response to my own
struggle in recovery, from habits of hurt,
addiction and depression, and incorporates
all I ever learned of body-work, Stillness,
Yoga, and any artistic capacity I have, plus
a talent for deciphering old diagrams, a
leap of faith, and fervent prayer for help.
The book, 'A Course in Miracles' came
about as a result of a conflict situation in
the workplace, when the scribe, Helen
Schucman said to her work colleague 'There
must be a better way, lets ask together'.
This Practice connects very well with the
lessons in "A Course in Miracles".
I am inviting my old students, friends and
journey companions to join me with this same
question and spirit, in a Christmas
gathering. A retreat and reunion of old
friends, each one a dedicated worker in
these realms.
The emphasis is on a shared, positive vision
of Grace. With some time and space to walk,
or work alone, outside of the workshop room.
It is an introduction to the work. My
intention is that we would ask to see,
together, the potential it has.
I don't intend it to be an occasion for
major excavation of old feelings.
We would be playing with easy voice
exercises, with some dance or movement.
Working in pairs, small groups and
separately. Relaxed about the work.
Meditating. Not trying to do too much.
Listening for inspiration. I value your
input.
People living locally can pay for individual
meals, but they need to book, and let us
know.
I am inviting everybody would appreciate
this work to join .
I OFFER THE WORKSHOP AT €140 WHICH IS THE
Basic rate (Private rooms available at rate
of €22 extra per person)
FOR MY FEE, I WILL LEAVE A SEALED BOX AND
ASK FOR DONATIONS OF €20 OR MORE.
Please secure your place by sending a
DEPOSIT OF €50 PER PERSON, TO ME AT
SEACLIFF, CLAHANE, LISCANNOR, CO. CLARE.
Love and best wishes
From Antoinette.
