Joy Board Evening – a lovely New Year’s gift to yourself or a friend

The value of my Joy Board process (previously called Vision Board) lies in its ability to access insight from your right brain – using silence, images and guided visualisation. You will not just be pasting pictures on a board of what you think you want - you will be engaging with the gems of awareness from that seldom-used, delicious field of your imagination. In this way, your board might tell you a few things about what you want in 2010 that you don’t yet know you know.
Each person attending will receive a personal reading of their board from Angela.

JoyMap Workshop – leave resolutions behind once and for all!

In my experience, most New Year’s resolutions are likely to fail for two reasons: Firstly, they are usually based on what you think you should do, rather than what you deeply want to do. In other words, the goals are set only from your head. Failure to sustain these resolutions breeds a sense of self-recrimination, your esteem drops and a cycle of subtle disappointment begins. Secondly, even when your goals are truly aligned with your joy, they may be unrealistic and difficult to integrate into your life as it is now. Why not do it differently and begin to sculpt your life – practically - from joy?
I have designed a number of unusual, innovative processes to assist you to see what you really want (which is notoriously difficult to do) and to find real, creative and achievable ways to integrate this into your current life with nothing needing to change.
Two participants’ experiences:

‘Being the OCD personality type, I am constantly making lists and working towards “goals” and setting new year’s resolutions throughout the year, because how else can a person exist…. Ha ha – I found a delicious way yesterday…I spent the day with Angela, a friend and wise woman, and started learning about me and what I am passionate about as opposed to what I think or believe I have to be passionate about…
The word goal didn’t even enter my mind and yet I have these BIG dreams that I announced yesterday and have started towards them…not because I have to, but because I cannot wait any longer …
I would love for you all to experience this joy and excitement…Go on, give it a bash – the way you look at your life for the next year will astound you!’

‘I am still taking in the incredible gift of the JoyMap workshop. I found the insights I gained profound and far reaching in terms of how I want to see my life unfolding. It certainly has a) given me permission to focus on my joy without feeling guilty and b) made joy so much more of a focus in my day to day life’

Shadow Work

All of us have internalised the idea, to greater or lesser extents, that there are qualities, emotions and experiences that are wrong – envy, cruelty, certain desires, laziness etc. This has resulted in most of us suppressing or controlling these feelings to such an extent that we swallow instead of express them and, in so doing, push them into the shadow. After a while of pushing parts of ourselves away from our conscious recognition, we begin to be very fragmented resulting (most commonly) in fatigue, confusion or irrational self-sabotage.

It’s impossible to know your passion, for example, if you have not really known your anger because anger and passion are two sides of the same coin. By the same token, if you are repressing your pain you are undoubtedly also repressing your joy. For those of you who are courageous enough to begin seeing what parts you have pushed into shadow, I will be offering an introductory Shadow Workshop where we will work practically with these concepts in a small group. You can expect the processes to be uncomfortable, and you can also expect to leave the workshop deeply relieved and released.

From a recent reading; Knowing now that you cannot be emerged or born into the light until you have encountered all your resistances, gives you more permission to do so. Make that a priority. We cannot think of what would be a bigger priority than going fully into your own resistances, into your own pain, and coming out the other side, because without that your emergence is not possible.’

For personal stories on my own shadow work you can read the articles “Vampires and Vultures’ and ‘From Holy to Wholly’ on http://angeladeutschmann.wordpress.com.

Embody

You can download a free talk about Embody from our website, which speaks of the origin and philosophy of the process, and answers lots of questions.

The Embody workshop is the result of my personal pain about my body. For years I was so confident, sure and present in my mind and spirituality and at the same time, so ashamed, disconnected and undeveloped in my body. I opened up all this pain and transformed it into an exceptionally powerful and unique workshop that puts you back in touch, in conversation and in love with your body even if you haven’t been there for years.

Our bodies, like everything else, are communicators to us. They communicate our divinity, in an immediate, uncomplicated manner. Our bodies are as profound a source of wisdom to us as our minds and spirits. They are faithfully attuned to our highest path, even though we are ashamed of them, hate them and, more often that not, attempt to control their expression.

It is not us who are meant to shape our bodies, it is our bodies which are meant to shape us

If you are brave enough to fully see and own your own body, compassionate enough to accept the bodies of others and wild enough to fall unconditionally in love with your body – forever - then I invite you to Embody.

One participant’s experience:

‘My Embody experience is best described when I think of the story of Beauty and the Beast! How the beast needed to find the love for who he was before he physically transformed into the gorgeous prince. I can truly appreciate what Embody puts on the table in terms of concepts and processes. Having my life structured in such a way where I am required to be constantly intellectual in all that I do and how I approach left me disconnected from my body and my basic right to FEEL as God / My Soul / Higher Power intended.

Looking back my journey at Embody, I realise how I needed to shave the layers away to start feeling again. How I needed to cut away the restraints and allow for all that was great within me to naturally surface to the light to be experienced and integrate into my consciousness. No amount of positive thinking, visualisation or any intellectual approach could have leaped me forward as Embody allowed me to be. FEELING, being PRESENT in my own skin and AWARE of my body's voice was all I needed. I had to learn to step into pain, shame and at some points even hatred! But that is the beauty of life as I realised on Embody. You feel that pain / shame / fear / hatred and then transmute and so you make space for greatness and all that is good! Amen!

I am reminded what it feels like to be safe, vulnerable and loved through my eyes! Reminded how playing big, taking risks and plunging in enables the sweet bliss of freedom and lightness to find a sweet spot in my life. Because after all, when we working with the soul and our bodies, the people that really matter will see my beauty. Thank you to Angela, Shaun and my Fellow Embody Graduates! I have been gifted with love and a new level of "being" to operate from. Amazed when one is not weighed down with the intellectual clutter picked up along the way in life, how perspective, inspired action, focus and just feeling with every cell makes one BURN with ALIVENESS and BLISS. I am grateful that I was able to step into my "beast" and found my "beauty" that I can now go forward and strengthen’. Brynmore, Management Consultant

Personal Readings and Spiritual Coaching Sessions

A personal, or couple’s, reading is a session where I channel insight from your higher self about what is most dominant in your ‘field’ at that time. This can include patterns you are holding, some of your life themes, blockages in your body, the particular cycle you are in at the time or what thought patterns may be holding you back from feeling free. Usually there is an opportunity to ask specific questions if you wish to, but the reading will take on a particular direction or set of themes right from the start. The energy of these conversations is gentle, incredibly loving yet also full of humour and practical suggestions.

Time required: 1 to 1.5 hours
Cost: R600.00 in office hours. R650 after-hours

A spiritual coaching session does not involve direct channelling. It is an opportunity for you to bring specific issues to the session, perhaps those that came up in a previous reading but not necessarily, and to work with my questions and ideas on these. I don’t follow a specific coaching methodology and will work with what comes up in the moment using discussion or physical movement or conscious dreaming or anything else that can move you forward. A warning: I’ve been heard to say ‘I couldn’t give a damn about your success…I’m only interested in your Joy’!

Time required: 50 minutes
Cost: R450.00

A baby blessing, which can be done at a baby shower or as a regular reading, is a conversation with an unborn child. They are normally shorter than an hour, though this depends very much on the chattiness of the child. Best time to have one is between 20 and 35 weeks pregnant.

Time required: 1 hour
Cost: R600.00 in office hours. R650 after-hours

Please contact Garrick if you are interested in booking a distance reading or a one-on-one session in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Bloemfontein or White River.

As of January 2010 it will be available to have a coaching session over Skype.
