Barefoot Doctor Live in Leeds for Healing Sounds and Movement
Barefoot Doctor Stephen Russell will be in Leeds, West Yorkshire, on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 February to help ‘Heal You and Your Life through The Tao of Sound and Movement’.
As a modern day Taoist, martial arts master, musician and energy healer, Stephen has spent his life practicing and teaching skills that were once the preserve of emperors and warriors in ancient China. Kept secret from the masses for centuries, Stephen has brought these simple, yet profoundly effective, techniques bang up to date for busy people in the modern world.
His simple routines help you:
- SHIFT YOUR ENERGY
- CLEAR YOUR BLOCKS
- GET IN FLOW
- MAKE THE ABSOLUTE MOST OF YOUR LIFE
Once learned these powerful techniques take you just a few minutes and can be used alone or incorporated into any daily practice.
So if you’re feeling stuck, lacking in vitality and zest or just wanting to make 2012 your most successful year yet, don’t miss these powerful, many would say life changing, sessions with the Doc in Leeds this February.
The Friday evening talk will give you an overview of the Taoist system and an experience of it to take home with you. Then on Saturday, Stephen will share with you:
- SIX ANCIENT HEALING SOUNDS and how to harness their power to flush out pain on every level, and to heal all aspects of you and your life – we’re not just talking physical pain, but psychological issues, emotional trauma; personal, social or professional pain – even financial stresses and strains
- ACUPRESSURE & SELF APPLIED MASSAGE – simple pressing techniques which clear energy blockages from your mind, body and life, so you can feel better, perform better and make the absolute most of your life now and in future
- QI GONG EXERCISES to increase your vitality, strength, stamina and stability, whilst bringing a deep sense of relaxation – these are simple exercises you could incorporate into daily life whenever you feel stressed or need a boost.
No previous experience is required – just an open mind and a desire to make positive change so you can live the life you really want, rather than one you settle for. Barefoot Doctor is known for his engaging, entertaining style, so these events will be lots of fun.
Because Stephen’s appearances in Yorkshire are rarer than hen’s teethm grab your seat for Barefoot Doctor’s Tao of Sound and Movement whilst you can. Numbers are limited (particularly for the workshop) to ensure everyone gets the absolute most from the sessions. For more details and to book go to:

Learn from the best – creative workshops with Jamie Catto
Lots of people offer workshops to help you unlock your creative potential – few of them draw on a career that has touched millions across the globe through music, film and philosophy.
Jamie Catto was a founder member of the multi-million-selling, dance music super group Faithless who went on to create, produce and direct the multi-award winning 1 Giant Leap films and albums.
What About You?
He has now turned his attention to helping you get what’s inside, out, leading ‘What About You?’ workshops from January to July in England, Holland, Thailand, Mallorca and Greece.
So if you want to kickstart a creative project, this is a real chance to learn from a true expert. These two day workshops involve techniques, processes and discussions evolved from Jamie’s 20 years of experience.
What About You? is for you if you’re prepared to “be here, present, vulnerable and authentic”, show up in all your “raw glory” and be willing to “really express what’s going on in the chaos and the shadows”. The workshops will help you:
• Connect yourself fully to your wholeness and reawaken your playful and inspired genius
• Dissolve and release negative beliefs and patterns that have limited you or stood in your way
Jamie explains more about the workshops on his website, where you can also book your place at any of the different locations:
What About Me?
If you’re not familiar with his work, Jamie’s most recent film ‘What About Me?’ is highly recommended. The visionary project took Jamie and fellow film maker Duncan Bridgeman to over 50 locations across five continents, exploring through music the complexities of human nature on a global scale. The film aimed to reveal how we are all connected through our creativity and beliefs – and through our collective insanity.
Covering universal topics such as God, sex, death and money, What About Me? features a diverse range of collaborators from Noam Chomsky to Will Young, Maxi Jazz to Tim Robbins, Michael Stipe to Billy Connolly, Eckhart Tolle to Baaba Maal, among many others – Susan Sarendon, Neale Donald Walsch, Marianne Williamson, KD Laing – the list goes on.
I simply can’t recommend the film highly enough. Find out more here:

School for Warriors Live
Being able to access a state of inner peace and power no matter the circumstances of your life is a priceless gift and one which was for centuries the preserve of emperors and their warriors.
It was the Taoists of ancient China who developed psycho-physical techniques – known as the inner martial arts – to help them achieve strength and stability. Barefoot Doctor Stephen Russell has spent his life studying, practicing and interpreting these esoteric teachings to create a system which is simple, quick and effective for busy people in the modern world.
He will be teaching his Eight Principles of Personal Power, which form the foundation of his School for Warriors courses, together with new exercises, energy meditations and his own personal tai chi and chi gung inspired daily routines, at a two day event in London.
School for Warriors Live will be held at The Window in Islington on Saturday 29-Sunday 30 October. It will also feature meditation and Nia sessions with Stephen’s friend and fellow warrior from Houston, Texas, Alan Davidson.
“It’s the first time I’ve presented the School for Warriors training in this particular way and the only time I’ll be offering it as a live event for at least 12 months,” says Stephen.
“I’m particularly excited about the mix of people attending from beginners to advanced students from right across Europe. It’s a great opportunity to meet with others of like mind, to learn and practice a range of techniques and of course, to ask me any pressing questions in person.”

Past life regression with Brian Weiss
October 2, 2011 by Sue
Filed under latest news & views, learn, see & do
Past life regression expert Dr Brian Weiss is holding workshops in October and November teaching you how to release fear and heal by going back through time.
Healing in Pasadena
His first workshop is on 14 October focuses on a unique way of healing through past life regression. The one day event is part of Hay House’s ‘I Can Do It’ conference in Pasadena, California. By going back through time to remember past events that may have led to the symptoms or difficulties you’re experiencing today, Dr Weiss teaches you the latest in hypnotic therapy to find a new level of healing for your body, mind, spirit, and relationships.
The benefits of regression therapy will be covered and you will also learn cutting-edge exercises to foster your physical and emotional health, opening you up to spiritual vistas that can endow your life with new and profound meaning.
Details of the Pasadena workshop are available from Hay House US
Regression in London & Tampa
Dr Weiss then returns to London, England, for a one day intensive past life regression workshop on Saturday 5 November before returning to the US to host the same workshop as part of Hay House’s ‘I Can Do It’ event in Tampa, Florida.
If you’re in the UK, get your ticket fast as last year was a sell out – not surprisingly since he is known as one of the world’s foremost experts in this field and visits infrequently.
The ‘Many Lives, Many Masters’ workshops in both London and Tampa are based on the book of the same name, which astonished the world of psychiatry with its theories of past life regression therapy.
Dr Weiss will be teaching you how to release all your anxieties and fears by unlocking the doors to your past. Using the latest hypnotic regression therapy techniques you will explore what happens before you are born, after you die and in your possible future lives. The process enables you to awaken from the constrictions of past conditioning and so release anxieties and fears.
The day includes group exercises, healing visualizations and intuitive and right-brain training, with time for questions and answers and personal interaction with Brian.
Whether you simply have an interest in past lives or are a professional working in this area, this promises to be a fascinating day.

Do you know where you’re going to?
September 24, 2011 by Sue
Filed under latest news & views, learn, listen, mindset
There’s a Diana Ross song that begins:
“Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? do you know?
Do you get what you’re hoping for?
When you look behind you there’s no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?”
I was thinking about that song when I heard about a free webinar all about life purpose that my friend Neil Fellowes is running.
So many of us stumble through life without ever stopping, pausing and considering what we truly want and how we can best serve. Sometimes of course something happens that means we either have no choice but to take time out, evaluate and put our priorities in order, or we simply can’t bear to retain the status quo.
Taking stock and getting life on track – then keeping it on track – has been a passion for Neil because his own life has featured abuse, divorce debt, parenting issues and career ruts. He turned his challenges into victories and invites you to do the same.
I’ve known Neil for some years now and find him to be a gentle, authentic person as well as a successful businessman, devoted husband and father – so if you’re looking to get and keep your life on track, check out Neil’s webinar when he’ll be teaching:
• What it takes to live life on purpose
• How lack of purpose in your life and/or career can affect your well-being, damaging your immune system and creating illness, plus how you can avoid this
• How your ego stops you and how to overcome challenges it presents to living a life ‘on purpose’
• Key wisdom for finding and aligning meaning and purpose in life
Neil’s dedicated more than 16 years of his spare time to exploring life purpose so he has plenty wisdom to share and the most interesting thing is that he believes he has honed down a process to follow that works. So if you’re interested in finding your life purpose, check out the free webinar

Big Love with Tim Freke – Canada & UK
Stand up philosopher Tim Freke leaves the beautiful surroundings of Glastonbury to take his message of Big Love to Alberta, Canada and both north and south in England over the next couple of months.
He’ll be in Springbank, Calgary from 16-18 September for his Mystery Experience retreat and in Manchester, England, 1-2 October for talks and workshops about wonder as a way of awakening and the Jesus mysteries and Gnosis, prior to a three day ‘deepening’ retreat 23-24 October in Dorset,England for people who have already attended a Mystery Experience retreat.
If you’re new to Tim and consider yourself to be an open minded, big hearted explorer of life, do check out a talk, workshop or retreat if you’re in the vicinity. They’re very interactive and experiential.
His Mystery Experience is touched on in talks and workshops, but you want the retreat – described as a ‘relaxed intensive’ event – if you want to meet with like minds and go to “that place beyond words, to experience the Oneness and to delight in our many individual expressions of this Oneness” for more than just a few minutes.
Lucid Living
Tim has spent his life exploring the Mystery Experience and guiding others directly to it. This involves delving into the most fundamental question – What is life? Is there more to it than the daily routine of eating, drinking, working, playing and sleeping?
He is pioneering a simple new way to experience a deep spiritual awakening, which fully embraces everyday humanity. This groundbreaking philosophy of ‘Lucid Living’, helps you to both become conscious of your essential nature (which is one with all) and to fully engage with the personal adventure of your unique life.
Whether you’re in Canada or England, Tim will be sharing his simple and profound ‘Mystery of the Moment’ attention technique to help you ‘know the knower’ and become ‘Deep Awake’. You will also learn a number of wonderful ‘I to I’ practices that will connect you deeply with yourself and others.
Profound shifts
Whilst Tim creates an atmosphere which is relaxed, gentle and playful, most people find that diving into The Mystery Experience is the catalyst for profound shifts of consciousness. These shifts may continue long after the event has finished. It is important, therefore, that if you’re thinking of participating in one of his retreats that you’re prepared to engage with life as a continually unfolding adventure of awakening with all of the revelations and challenges that arise from this.
About Tim
Tim has spent years exploring and learning from the ancient Mystery School traditions. In my view, he’s one of a small band of thoroughly modern spiritual men, steeped in ancient wisdom and dedicated to making it accessible and relevant for busy people in the modern world. Think Stephen Russell (The Barefoot Doctor), John Parkin (F**k It author) and Dan Millman (author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior).
Tim’s Mystery Experience retreats offer an opportunity to participate in a 21st century expression of the Mystery School tradition – an evolution of the perennial Gnostic wisdom into a radically new and immediately accessible form.
Booking details

How to develop inner strength & personal power
As we approach 2012, I don’t think I can ever remember a time when there was so much uncertainty in the world. Helping people to stay strong in the face of such uncertainty and to remain steady, calm, relaxed and centered no matter what life throws at you is the aim of Barefoot Doctor Stephen Russell’s eight week online video based training course ‘School for Warriors 1 – The Eight Principles of Personal Power’.
Although this is a martial arts based training, it’s not about learning how to fight physically like a warrior – but about developing inner strength through learning the inner martial arts. In doing so, you can ensure that, however tough life gets, you have the focus, energy and spirit to not just survive, but thrive.
Stephen calls this ‘the warrior’s way’ and it’s a way that he has personally walked for 40 years. School for Warriors-1 is the result of those 40 years of practice and 30 years training others in these techniques. Although these transformational skills have been handed down from Taoist sages in ancient China, Stephen has brought the trainings bang up to date for busy people in the modern world.
And whilst martial arts can take decades to master, School for Warriors offers daily exercises that take an average of six minutes to practice, and so can be fitted in and around your life.
These skills were once so secret they were the preserve of the emperors and their warriors, but Stephen has demystified them and explains them in a simple way to help you transform your life by transforming your relationship with yourself.
Don’t take my word for it however – these are comments from graduates:
Patsy – “ I have been more confident in my own abilities and, certainly in my work environment, to stand up for myself and believe that the service I offer is valuable. I do not panic so often and don’t get paranoid about other people not valuing me. I am much calmer. “ Patsy
Chris – “Thanks Doc, you (and SFW) has become such a massive, positive part of my life, I honestly feel empowered!”
Sara-Jane – “SFW has been the key to enabling me to transform my reality in an amazing way …..dealing with the ups and downs that are an inevitable part of it and keeping my balance much more succesfully – just brilliant!”
Julian – “I am going to do SFW1 again and build from there. I feel I can keep going and get more of what I want and be happier in my own skin.”
John – “I would wholeheartedly say to everyone to try the course. Your life will be changed for the better and you will experience levels of peace and happiness you never thought possible.
If you feel ready to walk the warrior’s way – full details of the course are available here
