Valentine’s Day Tantric Energy for Singles
One-Day Experiential Workshop
Sunday 14th February 2010 10am to 5pm
Valentines Day is a great day for celebrating Love especially if you are single!
In this gender-balanced experiential workshop you can explore deeper within yourself by relating to the opposite sex in new and playful ways.
In an open, honest and safe space we will start by exploring our own barriers and boundaries to intimacy, including the masks we wear to avoid it, and experience how it feels to open up and connect with the opposite sex. As we build understanding and confidence with a variety of partners, we will use energy and breath to create and experience deeper connections.
This is not just a fun and lively workshop, it is a safe space for you to explore yourself more deeply with the help of others in the group. By playfully and honestly expressing yourself, you can let go of fear, misconceptions and constraints. And as you open yourself to new dimensions of intimacy and understand yourself more deeply, you can start to move towards the relationship you want.
This is a gender-balanced workshop aimed at singles.
There is no nudity in this workshop.

Inner Personal Power
One-Day Experiential Workshop
Sunday 7th March 2010 10am to 5pm
The Essence of Spiritual Coaching in a handy Workshop size package!
A powerful, fun and lively experiential workshop which enables us to move beyond our superficial and false selves to the deeper level of our true inner power.
Personal Power is often sold to us as meaning ‘get what you want by manipulating others’ – and is usually based around money!
Inner Personal Power is different. It is about connecting with yourself at a level beyond the superficial ‘what you think you want’, instead moving towards the deeper qualities you truly connect with in your life.
For most of us Inner Personal Power is locked away inside, hidden under a veil of worries and fears. This is because most of the time we live and act from the ego, and by doing this we are not being true to our deeper self. By bringing awareness to this we can start to let go of old patterns and allow ourselves to connect with the rich, vibrant quality of our True Selves.
In this powerful experiential workshop you will look at what you truly want from your life and the (self-created) barriers that stop you having it. You will learn how to recognise and handle inner challenges such as fear and ego, and how connecting with your deeper qualities such as passion, openness and honesty can help you move forward.
Ultimately by starting to realise the truth about your life, the way you hold yourself back and the deeper qualities you have but don’t/can’t connect with, you can focus on your inner qualities, bringing freedom and choice into your life, feel a new aliveness, and create the reality you deeply want.
This day will be fun and lively with a healthy element of challenge, which will enable you to see your life from another perspective and so start living differently with the qualities and quality you truly want!
Ankur is an experienced Spiritual Coach and Workshop Facilitator specialising in enabling others to discover their True Self via meditation and intensive, experiential work.

Awakening Your Inner Child
One-day Intensive Transformational Workshop.
Sunday 28 March 2010 10am to 6pm
This 1-day intensive workshop is the first step into Inner Child Work which is fundamental in bringing liberation and change into how we live our lives now. As adults most of us want to have free choice in how we live our lives. However, we carry so much conditioning, limitations and fears from our time as a child that living the life we truly want simply doesn’t happen.
By going back and experiencing the truth about your childhood you can:
- Recognise the influences your Inner Child has on your thoughts, feelings and actions as an adult.
- Bring awareness to parental conditioning and how it affects your life now.
- Reconnect with your forgotten child and allow your child to express his/her feelings, so starting to heal your child's wounds.
And as you liberate yourself from your conditioning you start to give yourself real choice about how you can live the life you want as an adult.
This workshop has been rated '[b]Excellent[/b]' by 44 out of 58 participants - and '[b]Good[/b]' by a further 13 participants (run on 6 occasions).
‘It was wonderful. I didn't know what I was expecting. No expectations. But it was exactly what I was looking for’ - Vanessa
‘Deep work in a very safe and supportive environment’ - Catherine
‘Emotional, Explorative but Great Fun’ - Lyn
‘Has to be done!’ - Tracie
‘I'm not exaggerating. It was the most Amazing Experience connecting with my inner child. And Ankur was Amazing!’ – Natia
‘A great experience that opened my eyes to my hidden self’ - Dina
‘Very powerful, so much stuff is there which I hadn’t been aware of’ Vadim
‘Love it, very useful, helped me realise a lot I didn’t know about myself. Try it… all of us need it’ Ira
‘Well worth it – a gift to yourself’ - Jane
The venue is Synchronicity: a terrific venue in Zone 2, just a couple of minutes walk from Clapham North tube (Northern Line) or 10 mins walk from Stockwell tube (Victoria Line). More about the venue.
Successful completion of this workshop qualifies you for the deeper 2-day follow-on workshop ‘Healing Your Inner Child’ (next running 5 and 6 June 2010) see that entry on this page for details).

Healing Your Inner Child
Two-day Intensive Transformational Workshop.
Saturday 5th June 2010 10am to 6pm
AND
Sunday 6th June 2010 10am to 6pm
(Note: this workshop is not residential)
This 2-day intensive workshop is only open to those that have successfully completed the 1-day workshop Awakening Your Inner Child (see that workshop for details), or equivalent work (cases will be considered on an individual basis, please email me with details of the work you have done).
This workshop will allow you to go much deeper than the 1-day workshop - how deep will depend on how much you ‘let go‘ and immerse yourself in the process. By being open and allowing yourself to experience the truth about your childhood, previously hidden emotional wounds are uncovered. By becoming deeply aware of these wounds and expressing previously repressed emotions relating to them, you can heal the wounds and start to free yourself from your parental conditioning, so liberating you from your past and bringing real freedom of choice into how you live your life now.
In summary:
- Go deeply into the space of Your Inner Child and experience his/her emotions.
- Uncover the wounds and feel the pain that Your Inner Child still carries.
- Heal Your Inner Child's wounds with awareness and expression.
- Transform yourself by bringing real freedom of choice into your life now.
The two Healing Your Inner Child workshops run in 2009 were rated as Excellent by 12 out of 12 participants.
And the ‘Benefit Gained’ was rated as Excellent by 12 of 12 participants.
Participants Comments:
‘I felt safe and supported ... If you want to heal on a deep level this workshop is fantastic.’ Sandra
‘A deeply moving experience. Very intense and challenging, but even more rewarding.’ Anne
‘Excellently run by Ankur. Very professional, sensitive leader.’ Tracie
‘The workshop challenged me to work on issues I have avoided before. But at the end I feel ready to connect more positively to life.’ Qulsoom
‘A chance to be freer and more yourself forever!’ Julie
‘The workshop is intensive but very much worth all the effort you choose to put into it. The benefits are untold.’ Tina
‘It’s a must! Everyone should do this and the world would be a better place!’ Ann-Sofie
