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.

Cook, a Professional Research Fellow in the Department of Theology and Religion at Durham University, Alan Stanley, Vice Chairman of the Crypt Trustees and Chris Wilson who is the Care Centre Manager at St. George’s Crypt.

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.
