Family Tree Workshop – Intergenerational Healing
Date: Friday 9 & Saturday 10 December 2011
Time: 10.00am - 5.00pm on Friday and 10.00am – 1.00pm Saturday
Cost: £30 (includes £5 Booking Fee and Refreshments)
Jim Cogley
Many, if not most of us, have a desire to understand who we are in the light of our family tree.
Somewhere in us we have an awareness that healing can be brought, not just to ourselves, but also to other members of our family who share the same ‘family tree’.
The knowledge gained in this workshop will help participants not to allow the past to determine their future in ways that are unhealthy/ unhelpful. They will learn to free themselves from old scripts and bring healing to their lives and possibly to the lives of others who share their tree.
Jim Cogley has many years’ teaching experience and is a counselling supervisor. As a psychotherapist he trained in the Jungian tradition. His particular area of interest is that of Intergenerational Healing and how the past that is unacknowledged can still influence the present. As an artist with wood he presents his message using an astonishing range of personally crafted wood symbols to great effect.
Jim is a published author on the subject of this workshop.
Wood you Believe (Volume one), The Unfolding Self (Volume Two) and The Emerging Self are his first books to be published.
His new book, Exploring Your Ancestral Self, was published in October 2009. Copies of these books will be for sale at this workshop and are also in stock at the Tara Centre Bookshop.

Whose Life are you Living?
Date: Friday 25 November 2011
Time: 10.00am - 4.00pm
Cost: £30 (includes £5 Booking Fee and Refreshments)
Dr Tony Humphreys
In this seminar, based on his book Whose Life Are You Living Tony will show that we are not born bad, ugly, stupid, average, superior or inferior, yet these and other labels plague our adult lives. Why, then, do we pigeon-hole ourselves and put limits on our abilities? Our desire to be accepted by friends, family and the world at large forces us to bow to society’s demands, and shackles our true selves.
Today’s world worships at the altar of success. Magazines and television constantly offer us the chance to be somebody, anybody, but who we really are. We follow someone else’s ideal until we end up with no idea of the person we were before we started.
Whose life are we living? By giving up our freedom, we no longer belong to ourselves. We belong to those who have influenced and altered us. In the seminar Tony will touch on all aspects of living, question the way we approach our lives and show us how to emerge from the darkness that has hidden us so that we may be inspired to embrace the adventures that life offers.
In this seminar, based on his new book Whose Life Are You Living, Dr. Humphreys will offer opportunities for you to:
- Reflect on where you are now
- Recognise the blocks to being real
- To understand your shadow self
- To realise what you dare not show
- To express your real self
- To find support for your inner journey

Bead Biography – Healing through Storytelling
Date: Saturday 1 October 2011
Time: 10.00am - 4.00pm
Cost: £20 (includes £5 Booking Fee and Refreshments)
Suzi Swain
Irrespective of the unique circumstances of any of our lives we know that, sooner or later, we will experience hurt in some shape or form.
We also know that emotional/ psychological hurt, unhealed, can diminish and/or destroy the quality of life, not only for ourselves but for those with whom we come in contact most especially those who are nearest and dearest to us.
Here in post conflict Northern Ireland and the Border Counties, in addition to the pain which the “ordinary” stresses life can inflict, many have suffered deep psychological trauma caused by the impact of ‘the Troubles’ either directly or indirectly in their lives.
The Tara Centre operates from a deep conviction that “what hurts can heal” and also that in the healing process “one size does not fit all.” It is for this reason that the Centre offers a range of healing modalities
Storytelling is widely known to be a very effective instrument of healing. It is also a highly sensitive path to walk requiring skilled professional guidance to ensure that “pot holes” are avoided and solid ground remains underfoot at all times.
This storytelling workshop meets those basis criteria admirably. The workshop facilitators have many years’ experience of work with cross community women’s groups in South Armagh.
Suzi’s approach to storytelling is the use of beads to form bracelets which symbolically hold each participant’s story in an intimate and personal manner. The essential privacy of each one’s unique experience is respected in this way while a gentle group process releases a further healing energy for the benefit of all.
At the Centre here we are confident this workshop will suit a wide range of participants.
