About our workshops:
I create workshops which give participants the tools and knowledge to transcend either/or thinking, to create from polarities and live life from a wholeness perspective. The workshops help you to explore polarity/wholeness from a personal development perspective and will also give you idea of how to work with others to enable them to work with polarity – whether as a coach, a manger, a practitioner, a parent or a community member. I also offer Conscious Embodiment workshops with my colleague Gosia. We are two of a handful of people in Europe trained by Wendy Palmer in Conscious Embodiment techniques.
My workshops invite you to dance and play – using an inspiring mix of experiential exercises and group work combined with relevant bits of theory.

Yearning for Wholeness: Integrating Polarities within ourselves – May 20 – 22nd, 2010 Claridge House Retreat Centre, UK
We all have polarities within ourselves with which we struggle. Examples of this are: being or doing, autonomy or connectivity. We will explore ways to integrate these polarities so we can experience a greater sense of wholeness. This will be done through group work/discussions, gentle physical movements and creative activities. To book, go to Claridge House
Finding Wholeness in Relationships: Exploring the Polarity of autonomy vs Connection - Saturday August 6th, Halifax Nova Scotia - $100 ($25 off if you book for the August 7th Conscious Embodiment Level One workshop) Whether we are single or in a relationship, we all have to negotiate the polarity of autonomy vs connection. When we are single, we can enjoy in our freedom and independence and yet long to have more intimacy and connection. When we are in long-term relationships, we can feel a yearning for more independence, more freedom. At this workshop, we will explore how we can increase our ability to integrate and flow between BOTH poles in this polarity so that we can approach our relationships with other from a place of wholeness within ourselves.

Beth will be facilitating this residential New Year’s Retreat Offering at Woodbrooke Quaker Centre. The retreat description: The human quest for wholeness is an part of the spiritual journey. In the face of our increasingly divided world, this can be challenging. At this retreat, we will explore how we can hold the tension between polarities (i.e. being vs doing) within ourselves in order to experience wholeness. We’ll do this through group activities/discussions, gentle Conscious Embodiment exercises, simple meditation and creative activities. There will be time for silent contemplation in nature within the beautiful grounds of Woodbrooke. This retreat is for all seekers of wholeness – beginners and those further down the path.”
Bookings for this retreat can be made from January 2011 by going to http://www.woodbrooke.org.uk/
12 and 13th February 2011 - ‘Finding Wholeness: Getting to know your inner self’- Cairo, Egypt This workshop is for women who want to get to know themselves on a deeper level. You will get in touch with those parts of you that remain hidden – even from yourself. We will explore together those opposites that we as women often struggle with including doing vs being, order vs chaos, control vs surrender. The body vs mind split is a source
of great conflict for many of us and in this safe and supportive women only environment, you experience what it is like to feel more connected to your body – and learning how to listen to your body’s wisdom. You will leave the workshop knowing more about who you are and being able to be more confident and centred in everything you do. The facilitators Beth and Margot use polarity & wholeness and Conscious Embodiment techniques to enable participants to discover more about themselves so they can begin to experience a greater sense of wholeness and well-being.
Finding Wholeness: Connecting Body and Mind
Saturday, January 22, 2011 from 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM
‘It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to
keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new
lessons to learn – which is what life is all about’ ~ Oprah Winfrey
Many of us struggle with the ‘mind/body’ divide within us. Many of us find that we spend ALOT of time in our heads – going round and
round and round the same old worries, the same old ways. And sometimes we’d just like to feel more comfortable and ‘at home’ in our body – more
connected.
This workshop will give you the tools and knowledge to connect your
body and mind more fluently – and to be able to listen to the wisdom
from both the mind AND the body.
Through creative, experiential exercises (using a mixture of polarity
coaching, creative and Conscious Embodiment techniques) where you’ll
often be working with others in pairs or triads, you’ll be able to
explore those situations where you feel the body/mind divide is more
problematic for you. We’ll facilitate you throughout the day so that
you begin to understand how to live in a more integrated way.
This workshop will help you to:
1) Gain insights into patterns of behaviour that don’t work for you anymore – and learn techniques to help you develop more centred, creative and grounded ways of being
2) Find ways to remain calm under pressure, to recover your balance and
clarity when faced with business/ life dilemmas
3) Develop an increased capacity to hold the ‘body/mind’ polarity with greater ease – allowing yourself to feel the flow when your body and mind are more integrated and whole.
4) Begin to feel more comfortable, at home (or embodied) in your own body.
