Through the Gestalt Cycle of Experience, we will learn how we can become stuck in realising our intentions, or struggle to create those that resonate, and what we can do to move beyond this. As ever with my workshops, this will be experiential, where you discover not only through thinking but experiencing how it is to be stuck/fluid and blocked/resonate with your intentions. 

Format of Illuminating Intention 
The three hour workshop will begin with a guided fantasy to enter into a more relaxed and receptive state, a place where your deepest wishes for the next five years can find expression. You will begin to give words to your experience to make sense of what has arisen and guided by the Gestalt Cycle of Experience, you will create your intention. Once your intention is in awareness, we will then focus on the ‘how’, the ingredients that you cultivate not just in certain situations, but in every part of your life.
 
Before the Yoga practice we will reflect on our intention and the ‘how’, recognising that many of the ingredients can be affirmed and embodied on the mat.
 
My sincere intention for the workshop is that you feel that the golden thread of your intentions runs through every part of your life and that how you are is what illuminates this thread.

Who is the workshop for? 
Anyone who wants to illuminate their authentic intentions and have a framework to bring these to life, supported by a Gestalt practitioner and Yoga teacher. The workshop may also be of interest to those practising in coaching who would like to understand the Gestalt method in more detail through their own experience.
