The period covers the periods of the Old

Huna Workshop – Marcus West
Firstly;
What is Huna ?
Huna is a powerful and transforming system
of practices, teachings, philosophy
, energy work and more . The word Huna means, among other things
"secret" and has only been used as the
name of this spiritual framework in Modern times. The Word Kahuna
can mean keeper of the Secret but is more often defined as expert and could
refer to an expert in any field. Huna is not a religion at all it is a
remarkably freeing experience that expresses it self in every
moment and action of life with great joy. The psychological insights alone are certainly among the most complete ,
effective and profound existing on this planet today .Practicing
Huna can lead to a great joy and emotional strength and an awareness of
the nurturing nature of the Earth. over time Huna
practice can lead to an amazing experience of wholeness and connection
that becomes over time , your most natural state of mind and awareness.
Max Freedom Long discovered, named and developed
the modern and Public knowledge of what we Call Huna through an extensive study
and exploration of The Ancient Hawaiian language and root meanings
of the words. as well as seeking answers form
People in
About
the Workshop
"Huna is a psychological/spiritual
system from
Many of us spend most of our time with
our attention focused in our conscious mind, which is okay, but when our
awareness is more balanced across the three minds, we find ourselves with a
richer connection to our inner world and to the spiritual dimension of life -
we are firing on 3 cylinders rather than 1, and this manifests through such
things as our intuition increasing, synchronicity in our lives, better physical,
mental and emotional health, and an increased sense of spiritual connectedness.
In this workshop I will be
explaining more about the properties of these minds, and I will be leading
a powerful guided meditation to increase our rapport with them and to make this
increased rapport permanently available. To assist with the process of
connecting with the Higher Self I will also be doing some Hawai'ian
chants."

Ambition to Meaning
Dr Wayne Dyer
DVD
Dr Wayne Dyer explores the
spiritual from ambition to meaning.
The powerful shift from the
ego constructs that we’re taught early
in life
by parents and society, which promote achievement and
accumulation,
are shown in contrast to a life of meaning
focused
on serving and giving back.
Approx 2 Hours – we’ll have a break at half
time.
Sunday July 5th
5PM DVD –
The Celtic Eldorado
The Gold of Ireland and its
place in Celtic History & Mythology
The tradition of
abundant gold also survives in the image of the Leprechaun and his pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow.
Leprechauns are
said to be very rich, having much buried treasure. They like to hide their gold
in secret locations which can only be revealed if a person were to capture and
interrogate a leprechaun for his money.
In Celtic Mythology the Tuatha de Danaan, (Beautiful
People), who are said to represent the first Celtic migration (circa 1000BCE),
burnt their boats of gold and silver on their arrival on the shores of Erin
(Ireland) because there was a greater wealth to be had. Although this story
functions symbolically at many level it looks like there was plenty of gold
about.
