More about love...and more about our workshops
"All You Need Is Love" was first performed by The Beates on the first ever live global television link. The inspiring message is as relevant today as it was when it was first watched by 400 million people in 26 countries in 1967. They wrote and performed "All you need is love" to bring people together, to liberate them and to open them up to the importance of love.
Loving and being loved makes a real difference to how we feel and the absence of love has been proven to impact our very survival.Research studies have shown that babies who are not held die (up to a 90% mortality rate), patients of doctors with a good bedside manner often do better than patients of the clinical, seemingly uncaring doctors, (even if both groups prescribe the same medication), and children who suffer abuse struggle in their relationships as adults.
What about us? Do we loose our need for love? Do we need to be filled with regular doses of love? How do we know if we don’t have enough love? As examples, if we bend over backwards to be helpful to others because we want to be liked, or we regularly seek out acknowledgement from others, or we find ourselves negatively judging ourselves or others, these are clues that we could benefit from some more love.
According to Abraham Maslow, “We need to satisfy our need for love before we can build our self-esteem and really feel that we are achieving and gain fulfillment.When our needs go unmet, we appear “needy”, and this pushes away relationships, friendships and work opportunities. Conversely, when our needs are met, our lives are filled with joy, pleasure, fulfillment and all manner of good things, and we naturally attract relationships, friendships and clients.
Whilst we have many needs, love is at the core, as it is so intrinsic to not only how we feel but to our very survival. In the same way we need food and water regularly, we too need love. Regular doses of love are important for everyone, but particularly for those in current stressful periods in their life, working too hard, or experiencing a life change.
Join us on Sunday June 26th for “All you need is Love, .where you’ll discover:
- How repeated top ups of love can totally transform your life
- How love leads to a deeper and more sustained sense of confidence from which anything is possible for you both professionally, and personally
- How love generates lives filled with joy, pleasure, fulfillment and naturally attract relationships, friendships and work opportunities
-
How important love is in your professional life as well as your personal life
-
How love can help you learn and change
-
How to love what you do and do what you love
-
How you can easily bring more love into your life, even if you have struggled up to now
-
How repeated top ups of love can totally transform your life
If you are open to receive something a little out of the ordinary, we will offer you a "heart opening experience" of love of the kind which has surprised and delighted our previous participants.
(See the video testimonials under “our events” and “testimonials” to hear what people are saying and experiencing)
“All you need is love” provides a much needed top up of love to enable you to bring out the best in yourself, and those around you.

Here is a flavour of the exciting workshops on offer and the "Networking, Connecting and Dilemma-Solving" Session...
Working from the heart
When we open our heart to those in our lives, not only do our “easy” relationships become even more joyful but also our more difficult relationships, whether at work or in our personal lives are totally transformed.
In this workshop, using a range of innovative processes, you will have an opportunity to practise opening your heart, and connecting with others on a deeper level from this open-heartedness. As you open your heart, you will find your judgements of the other and also of yourself, simply melt away. This clears the space to reveal you at your best and for those around you to reap the benefits as you become more fully present to both the other and to yourself.
"When souls really touch it is forever. Then space and time disappear, and all that remains is the consciousness that we are not alone in life." Joan Chittister.

Improvise your love life - Getting to love using and learning from comedy improvisation
·Experience the joy of being totally in the moment
·Learning to laugh at getting it wrong and moving on
·Letting go of your agenda
·Loving the freedom to express yourself
Improvisation is an attitude, a way of behaving that allows one person, or a group of people, to innovate and create instantly by using their own sense of trust, truth, acceptance and creativity. This "pure improvisation" happens when the group connects and ideas and actions flow freely without judgment. Anyone can improvise if they allow themselves to play, have fun, and if they are open to loving themselves, the others and the process. Improvisation IS NOT about being the smartest, being the funniest or being right, and gives us permission to let go of our “need” to be any of those things and simply to be. It is about accessing the creativity that already exists within all of us.

How love can help you learn and change
Many who have written on the meaning of life have said our purpose for being here is to learn and grow. Whether or not you hold that belief, learning and change is fundamental part of life for us all. Whether we are supporting others to learn and make changes or whether we are ourselves wanting to learn and make changes, we know there are times when it can be surprisingly difficult. In this inspiring workshop, you'll gain insights into why we sometimes find it hard to learn , change and follow the “good advice” we know is sensible, and find out how to make learning and change easier.
The session looks at the role of love in learning and change, what can happen when it's missing and helps you discover ways to enhance your ability to help others become more effective learners and to become a more effective learner yourself . You'll also discover ways of understanding and developing love and trust to enhance learning, motivation, and to make permanent positive changes both within yourself and in people you help.

All you need is love with Biodanza
Biodanza is a powerful body-based coaching and personal development system that draws from dance, movement, complementary therapy, and moving meditation, and uses heart- opening music to provide a nurturing environment that promotes both physical and emotional healing and personal transformation. There are no steps to learn, so it is ideal for participants who want to benefit from dance, and believe “they can’t dance”, as well as those who can and are looking for something more.
Biodanza is where dance meets personal development. It uses a series of exercises which are uplifting, energising or relaxing, and in sequence take participants away from their thinking minds (and any disempowering self talk that resides there) and into experiences of fun,
pleasure and bliss, and other positive states that facilitate
sustained well-being and positive change.
Of all the benefits that Biodanza offers, there is none so profound and important as the doorway to love. When we love and are loved in return everything is possible, and Biodanza helps us find the key.

She trained to teach Biodanza in London and at the Dorset School of Biodanza, and has found it to be one of the most powerful ways of facilitating change. She brings a powerful transformational approach and her own unique style to her Biodanza teaching. She has also appeared on the BBC’s equivalent in South Korea teaching Biodanza to a group of enthusiastic students.
Karen has been offering transformational holistic coaching both within organisations and for private clients since 2001. She has led personal development workshops in relationships, coaching and in "emotional intelligence".

Novel networking: "Networking, Connecting and Dilemma Solving" Session led by Karen Williams
There is a growing need in the capital for community building, and connection with like-minded people. Not only that, but there is also a need for creative ideas to enhance our lives and help us solve our dilemmas, personal and professional.
In my experience, we both love to connect and have that made easy for us. We also love to take-away solutions to our pressing challenges and to help others solve theirs.
During our “Networking session”, you’ll have the opportunity to share a challenge, or dilemma (personal or professional) and get a roomful of solutions from other bright, inspiring people, many of whom are coaches.
