It is all about being present and aware, calming the mind, bringing yourself to a state of easeful rest and connecting with your source of true peace and contentment. You will learn about * The purpose and benefits of meditation * Basic steps in learning to meditate * Managing and stilling the mind; use of the breath and a mantra * Underpinning philosophy and psychology from east and west * Awareness of pitfalls and distractions; the ways of the “ego” and how to handle them * The use of meditation as spiritual practice * Simple techniques to use in everyday life This series of sessions provides an invaluable opportunity to learn through regular repeat practice, supported by regular teaching sessions and the sharing of experiences, to ground and build the practice so that you can gain the real, lasting benefit. It naturally complements a physical yoga practice like Hatha or Ashtanga but is not specifically aligned with a particular spiritual practice. Rather the approach will suit people of all persuasions who wish to enhance and deepen their quality of life.

| | Training and support programme |
| This training is FREE for parents / carers who deal with children with Cerebral Palsy Typical quotes from parents who have taken part in the TSP (names have been changed):“My daughter’s sleeping pattern has improved so much I am amazed.”
“The therapist was brilliant. It didn’t matter how many times she showed me, she made me feel confident in doing the massage, and gave good feedback.”
“Jayne was very on the edge, and short tempered. Now she seems calmer and more relaxed.” If you are interested, or, want to know more about the TSP and the associated research please contact: Laura Swaby on 024 7688 7455, email: Laura
or, Lesley Powell on 024 7688 7498 | What is the Training & Support Programme?
The Training & Support Programme (TSP) is designed to equip parents of children with disabilities with simple massage skills that they can use at home with their children. The TSP consists of 7, weekly, 1 hour sessions and an initial telephone consultation with the parent. During each of the 7 sessions, parents will learn how to carry out gentle massage on their child. The TSP is delivered by qualified massage therapists who also have been trained to deliver the TSP. What are the benefits of the Training & Support Programme?
The TSP has shown to help parents feel that they can do something to help their child. It is also ‘time out’ for parents and child to spend quality time together. It can increase the sense of closeness and bond between parent and child. Gentle massage can be beneficial to the child in many different ways. Benefits will vary from child to child. Our research has shown that benefits may include improved bowel movements, sleep patterns, mobility, reduced muscle spasm, balance, and help children to relax. Parents too find it relaxing. Both parent and child enjoy giving and receiving massage respectively. CURRENT Research into the Training & Support Programme
The TSP has been running for six years and is linked to a research programme based at Coventry University. We have on-going research programmes to make sure that we continue to improve the TSP to meet the needs of parents / carers and their children. WE NOW HAVE FUNDING TO CONDUCT RESEARCH AND DELIVER THE TSP TO PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY, aged 5 to 18 years. The Programme will be delivered in SWINDON by a local therapist. Thus, if you are a parent / carer of a child with Cerebral Palsy please contact either Laura, or myself Lesley on the numbers and emails provide below. If you phone, we will call you back to reduce your costs.
How much does the Training & Support Programme Cost?
If you take part in the research, the cost of attending the TSP is FREE. However, we do ask you to complete a short questionnaire about the TSP. If you would like to receive training without taking part in the research the cost is £40 per session. |

For under confident students or adults the mask can act as a physical safety net between them.
The session is for actors and non-actors as the work is suitable for people with or without previous experience. Masks are charged with energy and the audience through the power of their imagination helps to bring them to life.
The illusion which masks create for an audience is that they appear to change expression in their presentation. During the workshop I shall be using full neutral masks.
The work is inspiring amazing and very amusing to watch as every mask worn displays a different response. John Williams L.R.A.M Speech and Drama F.V.C.M Victoria College
