WORKSHOP CONTENT

Autumn is here again and it is time for our annual Autumn Sanctuary. This is a four-day residential workshop designed for us to make the most of the environmental transition from summer into autumn. During this, everyone becomes very open to inner states of tranquillity, ease and awakening.

As we move from summer to autumn and live through this beautiful seasonal transition, our systems open to a significant change. This change gives us a wonderful opportunity to absorb the extra intensity that autumn offers.

The Autumn Santuary makes it possible for us to do this in a supportive, meditative community, in a beautifully relaxing environment. Our conciousness is drawn inwards particularly powerfully at Manawa because Ken and Elizabeth Mellor, the facilitators of this workshop, have lived there for over 20 years and have constantly bathed it with their awakened serenity.

This tranquillity feeds us and nurtures us as we digest any disharmony or disturbance. Peacefulness and serene confidence about life and living often arise naturally in this environment.

 

THE LEADERS

Ken and Elizabeth

Ken and Elizabeth Mellor have years of international experience running communities and leading workshops that combine meditative practices with personal growth strategies. They are inspiring spiritual masters and mentors. Always down to earth, they are fun and practical. People usually feel comfortable and safe when with them, and open up to the transcendent, explore their lives in depth, reach decisions that make living easier, and commit to using their new understanding to expand and awaken.

Both are Masters of Meditation, healers, and spiritual mentors. They have extensive experience in working with people from many different backgrounds. Ken is also a psychotherapist and trainer of psychotherapists, while Elizabeth is a trained rehabilitation counselor and critical incident stress management practitioner.

They are both recognised for their accomplishments through their membership of Meditation Australia, the peak body for recognition of meditation teachers. In the Association, their listed areas of expertise are given as personal development, therapeutic and Spiritual. Also, both are registered social workers and members of the Australian Association of Social Workers.

 

A TIME TO REST
Come to the 2019 Autumn Sanctuary.  Take a break from the pressures of life and enjoy the opportunity to refresh yourself in the company of others who share the same interests and needs.

The time just after Easter is a perfect opportunity for this wherever in the world you live. Everyone can benefit enormously from doing this.
