Experiential Astrology with Robert Green

Robert GreenIn experiential Astrology we will endeavor to enter sacred space and use drama, meditation and games to explore the ancient art of Astrology, creating and experiencing Astrology in action, where we can receive insights, healings, direction and clarity.

Robert has been passionate about Astrology for 28 years and has always felt that there is a need for people to experience Astrology in a very real way without all the dry intellectualism. The workshops are very much his own style. He has taken ideas from different experiences in his life and tried to synthesize them into something that will give the participants a real sense of the magic and truth in Astrology.

Listening from the Heart with Rachel Parry, Keran Simmons, Anet Moore and Angie Pinson.

Listening from the heartTo simply accept, respect and connect with other humans in a space of honest, loving communication is a gift I will always nurture in my life. Just reminding each other how completely delightful and lovable we are, is so effortless and yet so powerful and healing. 
Sharing this kind of listening time with others is such a regular part of my life now. It really lets the light in and makes it impossible for me to take things too seriously for long!

Rachel Parry works primarily as a professional artist but has also worked at various times as a teacher, community arts facilitator and meditation teacher.
She is a core group member of both the Tribal Spirit and Earthsong Communities. She is also a Re Evaluation Counseling teacher and an experienced leader of both parents support groups and women's groups.  

Listening from the Heart for Parents 

Raising our wonderful young ones is probably the most important work of all but as it's not always well valued we parents can often feel unsupported. Sharing our successes and struggles with each other within an atmosphere of confidentiality and loving acceptance can make a huge difference and is fun and relaxing too.

Thomas Riedmuller Co-Parenting on Camp   

This is a forum for everybody who has kids on the camp or with an interest in parenting. The underlying philosophy that Earthsong is like a tribe where the children are in a way everybody's children can be a challenging concept. This forum is an opportunity for a potentially large group of people to explore this topic and come up with practical agreements and suggestions.

Creative Conflict Resolution and Mediation

In these workshops we are planning to use role play and practice the skills of how to challenge behaviour without falling out. We are also hoping to build up a team of people who would be interested and become able to mediate conflicts on camp in the future. 

Thomas Riedmuller is a mediator, communication trainer and peace and conflict educator. His approach is rooted in non-violent communication and process oriented psychology. He is based at The Hollies Centre for Practical Sustainability in West Cork (www.theholliesonline.com) and has 10 years of experience teaching courses and workshops on mediation, group facilitation and conflict resolution skills (including FETAC)
