REIKI SYMPOSIUMS at Sedgebrook Hall 2010
Don't let the word "Reiki" put you off - the symposiums are for EVERYONE - regard the day
as a "Wellbeing Day"
Here's what we did in October 2009
Once again we had an amazing Symposium in October. Barbara did a really interesting workshop
on Crystal Healing. I personally learnt so much about crystal healing that I didn't know before.
I love crystals but didn’t really understand how they worked or even where they came from, so the whole modality
was demystified as Barbara talked us through a Crystal Healing Session and explained how
they worked and why. We were also very blessed to
have Robin Graham, co-founder of “The Laughter Network” join us. What an amazing and uplifting 2 hours!
Forced laughter soon became real laughter and in no time at all Robin had us literally rolling around on the floor. For
many of us, we were taken right out of our comfort zones, but what a fantastic experience.
We all have a lovely day at Sedgebrook and for £35 per person you couldn’t get anything better.
Workshops, delicious 3 course lunch, meditations and relaxations, as much tea and coffee as you can drink, beautiful
surroundings but best of all, you’ll meet some really genuine and generous people.
If you’d like me to reserve
you a place on the 23rd January please contact me. Places are limited. Email: sue@petemattsue.freeserve.co.uk
PLEASE spread the word about our lovely Symposiums—they are open to everyone,
irrespective of whether they are Reiki attuned or simply interested in having a relaxing day. I am so looking forward
to seeing everyone again and spending time with people who, just by being who they are, make the day at Sedgebrook so special.
Here are just a few "gems" from my feedback forms:
"A heavenly day - I didn't realise
Reiki was all about me; thank you for everything" - Lisa
"Wow - I never imagined the rollercoaster of
emotions I would feel - how is it possible to experience such a ride and yet feel so calm? What a wonderful day, thank you
SO much" - Karen
"Another wonderful day, the people, the venue and the content - superb" - Caroline
"Well, that was a fun filled, chill out day; all the stuff I like - chanting, drumming and meditation.
Keep on doing what you're doing, you're a star!" - Angela
" A really wonderful day, I love the
blend of energy and interests in the room, it's like an exquisite perfume with top notes and base notes" - from one
of my more poetic delegates, Beccy
" The days just get better and better - when I walk through the door it's
like being welcomed back into a loving family - I wouldn't miss it for the world" - Sarah
"Through
your reiki days I have been reunited with friends I did my reiki training with; you bring people together in such a caring
way, your passion shines through in everything you do - thank you so much Susan" - Celia
Dates for 2010
Saturday 23rd January - Symposium Saturday
27th March - Empowerment Day Saturday 5th June - Symposium Saturday 16th October
- Symposium
Saturday 23rd January - Symposium
We have a great line up of workshops for January that will
move us, balance us and excite us. Barbara Lewis is hosting a workshop on Energy Balance. Barbara is a Complementary Therapist who specialises
in Reflexology and does an amazing technique on the feet that really sends waves of energy through the body simply by gentle
touch. I do not want to give too much away as I want you to all experience it for yourselves. We will be practicing
this technique on each other - it isn't ticklish and even if you "hate your feet (and other people's)" you
have to try it. (For those who have a genuine dislike of feet I will be doing EFT in the corridor to help you rid yourself
of the phobia so you can enjoy the workshop to its fullest...only joking but it's a though.....mmmm...I feel another really
interesting workshop idea coming on. I do EFT but not enough of it to teach others and answer questions....but I know
someone who does...watch this space and get ready for some Emotional Freedom in 2010!) Ruth Chambers is a Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master/Teacher and
a regular delegate at Sedgebrook, coming all the way from Donnington. Ruth will be leading us through meditation and
various exercises to "Open you Heart" - I cannot tell you more because if I did, I'd have to kill you...yes,
it's that hush hush! ( I promise you - it will be amazing and is not to be missed) I am delighted to confirm that Sarah Gregg will be joining
us to deliver a workshop on Reiki Drum. It never fails to amaze me that people, who are in essence often strangers to
me, say yes when I ask them if they will come along and share with us their experience and knowledge. I was over the moon
when she said she would be delighted. The healing vibration of the drum really has to be experienced - where as Barbara's
energy technique is very passive and gentle - the drumming takes energy healing to a different level where
you can feel the vibration through your whole body making your organs bounce...ugh, that doesn't sound great does it but
it's a really physical feeling! If you have a drum you HAVE to bring it. Sarah and I have been working together on organising an all inclusive Reiki
Drum Retreat Week-end at Sedgebrook Hall in May 2010 the details of which are on my website, so I hope that Sarah's workshop
on the 23rd January will whet your appetite and you will consider coming along for the week-end.
Saturday 27th March - Reiki Empowerment Day
Reiki Empowerment Day. The theme of the day will be to Delve Deeper into the
Japanese style of Reiki with some more exercises to enhance your reiki practice as well as meditations and healing.
Just like our last empowerment day, there will be Reiju for all but not necessarily from me this time. This January
it was my privilege to attune 4 students to Shinpiden so with a bit of gentle persuasion, I might be able to get them to give
me a helping hand! Where as the Symposiums are for everyone, this event is just for those who have been attuned
to Reiki. You will take away with you a small manual and a wealth of experience so hope to see you there.
Saturday 5th June - Symposium
I
am really hoping that we will be able to welcome the author Dr David Hamilton to this symposium but I cannot confirm
until the beginning of 2010. PLEASE can I ask EVERYONE to use the power of attraction and visualise him
up there presenting a workshop. He's an amazing speaker and with his physics background he explains the science
behind why Distance Healing works. As yet I have no volunteers
for other workshops but I know that someone out there will have something fabulous to bring us...yes, I am talking to you!
Saturday 16th October - Symposium
Sarah Line will be presenting a workshop on Labyrinths.
I met with Sarah a few days ago and I can tell you, you are in for a real mystical experience. Sarah
is in the process of building a Labyrinth at the “bottom of her garden” (an understatement if ever there was one)
and has some wonderful plans for 2010, details of which can be found by reading on. I am hoping to
have someone come along to present a workshop on EFT too to help you rid yourself of anxieties and phobias but will confirm
later in 2010
THE REIKI DRUM TECHNIQUE
RESIDENTIAL RETREAT
14th –
16th May 2010 at Sedgebrook Hall Country House, Chapel Brampton, Northampton NN6 8BD
Facilitator - Sarah Gregg
NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE NECESSARY Open to Reiki II Students, Advanced Practitioners and Reiki Masters
This weekend retreat provides an excellent opportunity to incorporate
the training of the Reiki Drum teachings and a residential retreat at the beautiful Sedgebrook Hall Country House in Northamptonshire.
This retreat allows you to immerse yourself continuously and therefore more deeply in the Reiki Drum teachings.
It also gives space to go at a more leisurely pace, which means more time for reflection and digestion.
Reiki Drum weekends not only provide students with more skills to use on their clients, friends and families, but are
deeply healing on a personal level. Students in the past have remarked in the incredible shifts and changes
they have experienced after the course. The retreat is suitable for Reiki
II students and above.
"I found the weekend
to be informative, enjoyable and fun with positive energy throughout. I was amazed at the effect the drumming had on the body
and how quickly it put one into a meditative state. Thank you for a wonderful weekend." Comments
from past student.
The retreat will include:-
· Reiki Drum Workshop Teachings (go to http://www.reikidrum.co.uk/courses6.html for class syllabus). ·
Extracurricular opportunities not usually available on our day workshops. . Booking:

the crystal chandeliers.

Sauna and Jacuzzi and a Mini Gym plus a games room with pool and table football, golf and croquette. For those
who enjoy the countryside there is the Brampton Valley Way just down the road but if your idea of fun is total relaxation
there is a good supply of very comfortable sofas and chairs in the lounge area!
