ABOUT OUR WORKSHOPS PROGRAMME
Have you ever felt like getting away from it all, having a place to reflect, take stock, gain perspective, and explore new ways of living? Our Experiential Workshops are a great way to do all of these things and more. Come and meet like-minded friends in a biodynamic environment, designed for your comfort and learning.
GBII offers a range of residential and non-residential workshops in the UK, Ireland and Spain as well as the annual International Biodynamic Summer School in Killala in July each year.
At these events, there is an opportunity for Block Therapy where you can book 6-10 hours of individual biodynamic sessions at a reduced rate during or around the time of the workshop.

WORKSHOPS SCHEDULE 2011
12-13th March 2011 Peace in the Body - Building Resilience
led by Mary Molloy, with Gill Bell
2 Day residential workshop - Killala €225 + accommodation
It is our natural birth-right to feel happiness, to feel joyful and free, to feel that the trillions of cells in our bodies are dancing, co-operating and communicating with each other and, non verbally, to other human beings. However, this is not always the case. What causes this interruption to our well-being?
Many things in our lives can make us feel uncomfortable and cause symptoms such as pain, bloating, upset stomach, shortness of breath, nervousness, dizziness, restless legs, panic, post-operative debility. Sometimes we are just 'frozen' or numb and don't feel anything at all.
This experiential workshop focuses on the link between psyche and soma, mind and body, and we learn to recognise the effects of shock, trauma or past emotional experiences that are still held in the body. By examining the brain, gut and heart axis, we can learn how to eliminate these effects once and for all by completing emotional cycles, resolving conflicts in the body and coming to peace.
20th March 2011 Peace in the Body - Building Resilience
Led by Mary Molloy, with Cameron Stewart
1 day Workshop - non residential - West Bromwich £60
[See above for workshop details]
26-27th March 2011- "Getting IT Out - The Great Escape"
Led by Mary Molloy and Fiona Arrigo
2 day Workshop - non residential - LONDON £280
Sometimes, we hold things in, drag things out, go along with things, hang onto things, swallow things, hold things down, let ourselves and others down, ... but it just doesn't work! We can still feel under pressure or uncomfortable in our body. Sometimes by talking things through, we can work them out, and resolve matters, but not always. The mind simply cannot work everything out - sometimes it has to come out through the body.
In this workshop we will introduce and demonstrate the vital importance of expression, completion of emotional cycles and restoration of full circulation and flow. A loud- speaker stethoscope will be used to demonstrate the healing function of "psycho-peristalsis" - the innate healing mechanism located in the gut - which digests emotional experience and eliminates hormonal stress remnants once and for all. With this essential function restored - the eternal qualities of freedom of expression, gentleness and joy can return home to the body and mind bringing peace and real communication.
16-17th April 2011 Firing the Mind - Igniting New Ideas
Led by Mary Molloy with Gill Bell
2 day Weekend Workshop - non residential LONDON £280
Recent discoveries in neuro-science confirm that we can change our patterns of thinking and create new neural pathways via positive ways of thinking. In this workshop we serve 'notice to quit' to our negative thought patterns, free our minds from mental interference and fire the new, clear mind with waves of inspiration and creativity.
"Rest in natural great peace, this exhausted mind, beaten helpless by karma, and neurotic thoughts, like the senseless fury of the pounding waves, in the infinite ocean of samsara. Rest in natural great peace." Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche
11-15th May 2011 Opening of the Heart - Communicating with Tenderness
Led by Mary Molloy and Fiona Arrigo
5 Day Residential Workshop - Herefordshire £2750 all inclusive
How often we all get hurt and close our hearts for fear of rejection! In this weekend, we look at how the heart becomes 'armoured', what we can do to melt this armouring.
Through specialised biodynamic exercises and processes we learn how to open up, to follow our hearts, and to experience and express our own true love.
25-26th June 2011 Nurturing the Soul - Reconnecting to Spirit
Led by Mary Molloy with Glll Bell
2 Day Residential Workshop KILLALA €280 + accommodation
What do we really need to nurture us? How do we find the nourishment we need, on all levels, in our lives? How do we live our vibrant true potential? How do we build essential and satisfying relationships with Self and Others? What do I want to do that is new for me?
In this workshop there will be a gentle exploration of what our true needs are, how we can build our capacity to live wholesome and satisfying lives, and how we can balance work and home life. Whether we follow a particular religion or not, we can often feel there is something missing in our lives, a deeper sense of connection and meaning.
By exploring ways to free trapped energy, this workshop provides an opportunity to find ways of accessing deeper or higher levels of experience. When the life energy within us is liberated, it meets with the energy around us ("cosmic super-imposition") and brings a new sense of connection. Includes Music and Dance.
11-17th July - Discovering Your Brilliance - Revealing your Radiance
Led by Mary Molloy and Fiona Arrigo
7 Day Residential Workshop in SPAIN £3220 + flights
Many of us have been brought up to be "humble", not proud; we may have grown up with criticism more than encouragement, and we may not even recognise any talents that we do have. We contract, hide, and shrivel into obscurity. In this workshop, we explore ways to let our true qualities shine through, to feel our own worth, to radiate out into our field and to reveal our brilliance.

Led by Mary Molloy and Fiona Arrigo
2 day Workshop £280 - London
In this workshop we explore how, as we find new ways to think, feel, love, express, relate, heal, we can transform our lives into a more conscious and satisfying way of being.
26-27th November 2011 Evolving the Brain - Coursing the Waves
Led by Mary Molloy and Fiona Arrigo
2 day Weekend Workshop £280 London
Do we have to wait for more millennia to use 100% of our brain and have access to all hemispheres - north, south, east and west of our "whole brain"?
"The Biology of Belief" is a groundbreaking work in the field of New Cell Biology. Author Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and that of other leading edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information.
The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.
Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.
In this workshop, within a safe and structured biodynamic environment we combine this knowledge with the biodynamic understanding that it is the spontaneous movement of life-energy which builds bridges across the divide and which brings alignment - when the environment is ideal - to facilitate permeability of the cell membrane.
