BAREFOOT ON THE BEACH
A FULL ONE DAY WORKSHOP AND CELEBRATION MAY 27th.
-learn to be relaxed and delighted, authentic and real, beautiful and bold, and above all to be yourself, not just on the beach but everywhere.
With
BAREFOOT DOCTOR
Barefoot is a metaphor for natural,
authentic, without airs or graces, not pretending to be someone you're not, not
pretending to yourself at all, not being fooled by the artifice and
superficiality of the world, not being drawn by pointless pursuits, being in
touch with the ground, with the ground of existence, not lost in imaginary
worlds.
Some say life's a beach. Some say it's a
bitch.
Either way – and life inevitably swings like
yin and yang between easy and hard, pleasurable and painful for everyone
without exception – when you're in the barefoot mode, you manage the swing with
such suppleness, adaptability and equanimity, nothing rock you out of your
cradle.
And that enables you to enjoy the ride – when your suspension and shock absorbers are so efficient you hardly notice the effect of the inevitable bumps.
And as life isn't, and can't, just be sunny (and if anyone should know that it's us here in England), and there necessarily has to be a shady side as well (you can't have light without shade), the art of the master lies in discerning the advantage or blessing in every situation, because there always is one.
Indeed the most helpful, healing and transformative treasure comes from undergoing the most challenging and difficult events and situations – loss, death, and so on.
Heartbreak for instance, in all its various
guises, is rather the breaking of the shell around the heart, due to a collapse
of expectation of something we'd invested our hopes in, something we thought
would give us more than we have now but turned out to be just another
sandcastle in the air.
In fact nothing and no one external to you can more than momentarily provide the sustenance and succor your soul craves and badly needs. This can only be accessed from the infinite well within. The trick is finding your way to the well. Then all will be well.
In a beautiful beachside venue, on Bournemouth's golden sands, Barefoot Doctor, living master of contemporary Taoism, doyen of the human potential movement and dab hand at amplifying your personal power, will teach you some brilliant methods to shed that protective layer you've wrapped around yourself preventing you enjoying the ride to the full, in every conceivable way, each and every moment.
Because what lies beneath all that unnecessary internal noise is the innate state of exhilaration in simply being here, no matter which way the action turns – and which when you've learned to quell the noise enough to access leads to complete, consistent, continual joy. With joy as your metier the ocean of experiences you manifest during this lifetime, the rough and choppy and the smooth and calm, all work together to compound your wholeness.
Divesting yourself of all masks leads to connections where your innate love spills over from your innermost soul to all around you.
And that's what gives your life value.
This will be a hugely fun day by the beach – barefoot at least metaphorically weather depending – with kindly gorgeous people, facilitated by a real-life barefooted nurse and taught by the master.
