November: Drawing On The Wisdom Within.
In this 90 minute workshop you’ll learn an 8 step drawing practice. The aim of the practice is to help you access the wisdom of your unconscious mind. It’s perfect for goal setting, problem solving or finding creative guidance. This workshop uses mindfulness, healing arts, meditation and hypnotherapy.
“Thank you so much for the session. I found this morning really stimulating and feel it gave a dormant desire a kick start. A very effective process which got beyond writing your wish and actions list. It really helped me to reboot an old plan I’d like to complete. Thinking very broadly about who might help and what my resources were really helped, as did your examples of what worked for you.
It took something for me to get through a barrier that ‘I can’t draw’ so your pre course information was helpful. I’ve put quite a bit into action!?! I’m really interested at how it shifted something so that it’s not a long list of things to do – that you know you probably won’t. That’s been quite a bugbear of mine for years. Something has to change which writing a list doesn’t touch. Fascinating”
Workshop feedback from Cheryl, December 2020
Materials you’ll need: 5 sheets of plain white a4 paper. Scissors and a pen or pencil. You don’t need any drawing experience to enjoy the session. Doodling is perfect.
December: The Glorious, Glittering Now
There’s something extraordinarily beautiful happening where you are at this very moment. Yet this glorious glittering now is often skipped over. Our minds cast backwards and forwards in memory and anticipation, and the simple miracle of existence is overlooked. In this workshop you’ll learn three inspirational practices for connecting more skilfully with the present moment. Leaving you free to find more joy in the present wherever you go.
Materials you’ll need: a few sheets of lined paper for writing on. One large piece of plain paper, any size A4 or larger will work. A selection of coloured pencils, pens or paints.
January: Calm Mind, Luminous Body.
In this mini morning retreat (9.30- 12pm) you’ll learn how to add bodywork and body awareness to your wellness routine. This is a joint led workshop with Adam Ward yogi of 30 years and UK based Feldenkrais practitioner. The workshop will combine meditation with bodywork and gentle movements based on the practice of neuro-biomechanics (It’s not the same as yoga or pilates.)
Over the course of a morning retreat together, we’ll learn a key selection of subtle yet powerful movements designed for letting stress and tension out of the body. You’ll finish feeling relaxed, peaceful and fluid with knowledge of how to recreate the movements for yourself on other occasions.
Requirements: Please wear cozy comfy clothes suitable for lounging and stretching. You’ll need a yoga mat or a soft rug you feel comfortable laying down on. The range of movement will involve standing up, laying down, sitting down and moving just as far as the length of a yoga mat. Which means you don’t need a big space in order to join in. For more information about this workshop and to ask questions about whether or not it would suit you please contact me directly, emma@emmamillslondon.com for advice.
February: Finding Focus
In this short personal development and meditation workshop you’ll learn new techniques for prioritising your time and energy, discovering your true priorities and finding better focus. Emma will share teaching and offer prompts and questions to help you hone in on what really matters most to you in life.
You’ll need: a journal or some pen and paper
April: Art Meditations
If you’d love to be able to meditate on works of art this hour long workshop is for you. With a combination of theory and practical, you’ll learn 3 techniques and get the chance to practice on a variety of images. After the workshop, you’ll be able to confidently meditate on art work. You’ll be familiar with techniques for widening your gaze, and your perspective.
Materials you’ll need: You’ll need to choose several images or art works to consider for the meditation session. These could be images online, or in a magazine or pictures you have at home. If you’d like help choosing, let us know and we’ll bring some pictures for you.
