Past Tuesday Night Festivals

Alternative Tuesday night festivals

Inspired by the feedback from our Sunday Alternative Events, we are now bringing you Tuesday Alternative events on Alternate Tuesdays evenings starting on Tuesday September 20th. Each Tuesday, we offer two workshops including one Biodanza, The Dance of Life, workshop plus we will have dinner together too*. These events are unbelievable value.

SPECIAL OFFER

What’s on offer:

Each term we focus on a different theme: We have chosen “The Law of Attraction” as our theme for the Autumn term.

Over the coming weeks, we are offering you the chance to discover more about:

  • How to bring your desired relationship into your life or improve the one you are in
  • How to raise your vibration to draw whatever you desire into all areas of your life
  • How to create a life of ease & flow (end the struggle and dance with life)
  • How to change disempowering patterns of thought and behaviour that are limiting you
  • How to feel good (no matter what is happening in your life right now)

Not only will you learn (or learn more) about these things, but you will also have the opportunity to put these things into action, regularly, each time you come.

Our intention is that you go away from each Tuesday evening event, not only having had fun, made new connections and feeling inspired, but also you enter the next phase of your life feeling "good", facilitating your ability to attract whatever you wish into your life, giving you a deeper and more sustained sense of confidence from which anything is possible for you both professionally, and personally.

Each evening and the programme overall is a complete and powerful mind, body, spirit experience: Each evening works both on a stand alone basis, and multiple evenings on a cumulative basis. Join us for one Tuesday, or more. The more Tuesdays you book in advance, the lower the price for each. Not only that, but the more frequently you immerse yourself in the energy that we are creating, the more you will notice beneficial changes in your life.

Each evening will have a similar but slightly different focus: We will be covering relationships (finding your soul-mate as well as improving your current relationship) manifesting your desires in all areas of your life, “feeling good”, and will be offering you the entire cumulative array of benefits that Biodanza, The Dance of Life delivers (see benefits)

Biodanza, The Dance of Life workshop session will deepen the learnings from the preceding workshop at each event, and has a track record of permanently and positively changing neural pathways and cellular memory with cumulative use, reaching the parts that other personal growth systems can’t reach.

Her workshop:

October 4: Easily Create The Life You Want:

Are you living the life you dream of?

Learn practical tools of manifestation, move beyond your limiting beliefs, become the person you want to be and bring in the life you have always been waiting for.

Many of us have been taught that we must either work hard to get the things we want or pray hard enough for them to come to us. What we have forgotten is that we are the creators and designers of our lives. Whether you believe in God, Spirit, the Universe or not, each and every one of us has the power and creativity to live the life of our dreams. If life were a blank canvas, what colours would you paint it with?

In this workshop we will learn more about:

  • Limiting Beliefs
  • Authenticity + Self Empowerment
  • Visioning
  • Becoming Your Own Mentor
  • Connecting To Your Desires
  • Manifesting: Using Your Feelings Not Just Your Mind

Using the power of Biodanza, The Dance of Life, you’ll become more of the real you. You’ll move into the future of your desires, let go of the beliefs that hold you back (without even needing to know what they are), access powerful feelings to help your manifestation and experience you at your best.

Her workshops:

Oct 18 - “Confidence – the power to attract what you want in life”

Confidence is one of the keys to attracting what you want in life. People are naturally attracted to confident people and even more so to those who exude a magic and a passion for life. Confidence breeds confidence in other people – they immediately feel safer and more trusting of you and will want to employ you, be in relationship with you and invite you to their events. Thus it’s often not how good you are but how confident you are in what you do and who you are that brings you the kind of success you want in life.

But what if you’re confidence has gone through a knock recently, what if you’ve never felt particularly confident, what if you’re going through a transition and everything on which you built you confidence has disappeared. How do you exude that kind of confidence? What if your are perceived as too confident, too full of yourself – and people are turned off by you and thus your confidence has the effect of pushing people away?

In this experiential evening you will be discovering the keys to an authentic confidence working through powerful archetypes, drama and creativity, and at the same time have a lot of fun doing so. You will also have an opportunity to release some of the blocks to your confidence and discover how to exude the kind of magic and passion for life that automatically draws positive experiences to you.

Using the power of Biodanza, The Dance of Life, we will uncover the most confident you, grow your inner confidence and step into passion for life. The autentic confident you will be revealed and together we will have a lot of fun.

Nov 29th - Celebrate Giving and Receiving and attract that which you desire

We’ll be using the Christmas season to bring more abundance, joy and celebration into life so that 2012 can be an Olympic Year in all ways. We will be working through powerful archetypes, movement, and creativity to liberate the spirit of celebration in you in order to open up the cycle of effortless giving and receiving.

It will also be a time to let go of inhibitions, to learn how to play more and be more of who you really are at parties and social gatherings.

You will have an opportunity to:

  • Express the “Real Spirit” of Christmas
  • Give and receive wonderful gifts without spending a penny
  • Free up inhibitions so you can feel more relaxed, centred and be more of who you truly are
  • Open up the cycle of giving and receiving so you can give with joy and receive with pleasure

Using the power of Biodanza, you'll connect with the real spirit within. You'll receive and give wonderful gifts including the gift of total liberation.

Sarah Alexander:

Her book is Spiritual Intelligence in Business: The Eight Pillars of 21st Century Business Success.

Her workshop:

Nov 1 - Be magnetic to your flow, positivity and the easy manifestation of your desires

We are vibrational beings, meaning that we are electrical beings as well as being flesh & blood. What we receive into our lives will always be an exact reflection of our current vibration, regardless of what we are asking for directly. This means we can ask for something directly, but will not draw it to us if our vibration isn’t aligned with our desires. Our awareness of this enables us to raise our vibration so that we work in tandem with the Law of Attraction to effectively draw to us those things that really are for us to be, to do and to have.

In this workshop you will learn:

  • How your thoughts and feelings profoundly effect your vibration
  • How to raise your vibration to draw to you that which you desire
  • How to connect with Source energy, the very Highest and Best within you, so that you attract the very highest and best to you
  • How to combine this connection to Source with a willingness to receive what the Universe is wanting for you
  • How to work with Source to change patterns of thought and behaviour that are limiting your good

This workshop will include a guided meditation to assist you becoming the powerful magnet that draws to you all that you desire.

Using the power of Biodanza, The Dance of Life, you’ll be invited to experience the most empowering feelings available to mankind, connect with source energy, the cosmos, spirit or whatever term you use to receive all the best goodies life has available for you. It’ll be joyous, fun and abundant in all senses of the word.
