The Art Of Seeing
This day retreat is about having a personal agenda: intuitive learning, personal journeys, self-knowledge and understanding. Just as whole person education starts with the heart and soul of an individual, so helping others, anyone – students, colleagues, friends, and family - starts with helping ourselves.
The aim of this day is to give you the time and space to be guided by experienced practitioners and teachers to discover more about yourself. You cannot consider bringing emotional intelligence and other inner and stress management techniques into your organisations until you are comfortable and safe with the concepts and the practices, within your own skin.

Testimonial
“An extremely relaxing day - just what the Doctor ordered – literally! Ondy’s voice was brilliant – very relaxing in itself.”
“A good balance of practical activities & discussion. More of the same could be used for whole school INSET.”
“A really enjoyable course. I have not done anything to do with these issues before and I found the methods extremely practical and beneficial.”
“By the end of the course I had learnt how to relax, listen to my thoughts, find strategies for coping with certain problems that affected my life and felt more confident in expressing my opinions and beliefs to other staff members. I felt that you were the core of the exercise and without your input and calm approach and ability to understand and explain our thoughts and feelings – or not as the case may be was excellent. The experience has made a difference to me. I now have a group of friends rather than just colleagues.”
