Development Group (five weekly sessions) with Gillian Alexander – This is a group for one’s own personal development, or rather the development of one’s Being, ie one’ entirety, which employs a unique and powerful weave of Tantra, Shamanic practice and Truth.
It was delivered in four weekly sessions through October and November, via Skype or to attend in Prestwick (more information here and here):
– The Power of Words; The Power of Breath; The Power of Touch; The Power of Energy
And a final, webinar session, via Skype
Gillian teaches by transmission whilst also conveying a great deal of information, generally in an embodied form. This means that you learn through experiencing and feeling the experience and so your body retains that and it’s not all left up to your mind to sort and file and retrieve the information. This is an extraordinary way to learn which is not offered from most practitioners or course facilitators.

Exploring Oedipus: mother and child, with Gillian Alexander and Tom Alexander – On Sunday 14th July 2013 – We carry the imprint of our relationships with our mothers and our fathers into our relationships as adults. And we carry the transition from our mother’s ‘Little Darling’ into adult man or ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’ into adult woman. In this day we will explore how we embody this relationship and express it in our relating to others. The relationship between mothers and sons is a complex one, as depicted in the myth of Oedipus. What makes a ‘good mother’? What are a son’s needs from a mother? Privacy? Independence? Love? Understanding? Authenticity? Respect? Autonomy and power and control of their own life? Are these not also the needs of any child from any parent; mother or father? This was a day for all adults who have ever been children, facilitated by mother and son… More details here
