Working
With People Who Self Harm
Wednesday
6 October 2010 (full day)
Shine,
Harehills, Leeds
Course
fees from: £185
Many
people who self harm do so as a way of surviving and coping
with unbearable emotions, but then have to deal with a range
of other problems from the results of the injury and a feeling
that they can’t control the behaviour, to the reactions of others.
The aim of this workshop is to promote better understanding
of self-harming behaviours, the underlying meaning and function
and to
share
ways of working with people who harm themselves. This workshop
is presented by Annette Morris, Accredited EMDR Practitioner,
BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and Senior Counsellor/Psychotherapist
at South West Yorkshire NHS Mental Health Trust.

Creating
Health – Mind/Body Medicine and Mindfulness
Monday
25 October (6.00pm) to Thursday 28 October (after lunch)
The
Ammerdown Centre, near Bath
Fee:
Residential: £249, Non-residential: £166
This
course offers a straightforward self-help programme that enables
people to become more aware of existing health-related difficulties
and to manage them successfully. Conditions that might be helped
range from back pain, headaches, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome),
fibromyalgia and asthma to anxiety and depression (in remission).
During
the course, you will develop the ability to pay attention to
both mind and body symptoms that are creating discomfort and
functional ‘dis-ease’. By the time the course ends, you will
have created your own personal mind/body tool kit to manage
your health difficulties better.
The
workshop builds on the combined professional experience and
teaching skills of Dr. David Beales and John Preston, and will
include methods drawn from mindfulness (present moment awareness)
and the science of mind/body medicine.
Dr.
David Beales worked as a GP and physician until 2000 when he
extended his holistic practice by further training in mind/body
medicine. He teaches medical students at Bristol University
and has trained in mindfulness-based stress reduction and cognitive
therapy.
John
Preston worked for many years as a senior social services manager,
counsellor and lecturer in adult education. For five years,
he trained as a monk at a Buddhist meditation monastery. Since
returning to lay life, he has been teaching mindfulness meditation
as an entirely secular practice promoting personal growth.
The
course is suitable for anyone interested in mind/body balance.
Trainee practitioners and those undertaking professional development
are also welcome. CPD certificates will be available on
request.

conference aims to shed light on some of the theological approaches
to addiction, and to enhance learning about the issues surrounding
it. We will look at: why do people become addicted? How do
we understand their behaviour or don’t we? And what pointers
does our faith provide in dealing with the ramifications of
different forms of addiction?
Speakers

C.H. Cook, a Professional Research Fellow in the Department

Renaissance
Ministry
A two-part residential programme
Tuesday 9 November to Thursday 11 November 2010 and
16 to 18 February 2011
Sarum
College, Salisbury
Fee:
£495 (fully inclusive for both parts of the programme November
and February)
This
programme is for you if you have been in stipendiary parochial
ministry for at least 12 to15 years, are probably in your 50s
and are beginning to think about how you want to shape your
ministry for the next phase. With retirement age for many now
looking as if it may be 70, what does it mean to be in parochial
ministry for the long haul?
We
shall provide an opportunity for you to: reflect about your
ministry since your ordination, so that you can become more
aware of those aspects of ministry that renew you and those
that drain you;
reflect
about your original vocation to ordained ministry: does it continue
to sustain you or does it need re-appraising in the light of
experience? think about new skills you might like to develop
for the next phase of your ministry; think about your lifestyle
as a minister and plan for its future sustainability.
These
residential sessions will provide an opportunity to think and
pray together about vocation and ministry, to share in the worship
of Salisbury Cathedral and to make plans for further learning.
