Healing Our Hearts and Lives

All too often we can feel split, separated and alienated in today’s dysfunctional society. Finding healing for our hearts and lives is a process of becoming more whole.

The Hero’s Journey

The idea of the Hero’s Journey has its origins in the myth of Odysseus and his return to his homeland of Ithaca after the Trojan Wars, overcoming many obstacles on the way. On one level an enthralling adventure story, on a deeper level a myth for our time – it’s a powerful journey of self-discovery in which we are called upon to find the treasure of our true selves, and in doing so experience the magic of transformation. Long fascinated by the theme of the Hero’s Journey, Eileen Campbell takes us through the stages of this transforming experience.

Nourishing the Soul

While we often take care of our physical and mental needs, we do not always pay as much attention to our spiritual needs. What do we need to do to feed our souls? Eileen Campbell helps us discover how silence and solitude; being in contact with nature; music, literature and art; as well as meditation and prayer – all can nourish us at a deeper level, and give us the wherewithal to withstand life’s twists and turns.

Living Creatively

We don’t need to feel burdened by the demands of the work-place or home. For many life seems to be lived full-on 24/7 with no time for oneself and one’s deeper needs. Living creatively means living with awareness and taking the time to connect with one’s higher self. Eileen Campbell gives us pointers to enriching our lives in order to refresh and revive and restore our well-being.

Music and Spirituality

From its earliest beginnings music was associated with religion and spirituality. Music affects us on a physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual level. More than a transient pleasure, it can make life worth living, be healing, and can be a force for good in the world.

With musical examples from both Western and Eastern traditions, Eileen Campbell will explore the effects music can have on us, and how it can enhance our journey of self-discovery.

Prophecy, The New Age and 2012

In all cultures from the Babylonian, to the Hindu to the Judaeo-Christian, there exists an apocalyptic tradition that tells of the destruction of the world and its renewal. Prophets and psychics have also foretold the end of the world at different points in history.

The Mayan Calendar indicates that the current age will come to an end on 21st December 2012. What can this mean for us? Given the signs of breakdown and dysfunction we see in our world, it is hard not to be anxious or fearful. But Eileen Campbell shows us how, rather than being a time of crisis, it is also a golden opportunity for breakthrough to a new way of living and relating.

The Garden Path

Gardening is more than a hobby or interest – it’s a way of life that affects not only our physical health but also our emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being. It can teach us about life, for the very qualities that make a good gardener – attention, patience, discipline, vision, discernment, and trust – are qualities that ultimately can help us live fulfilled lives and find peace of mind. Day after day, as the seasons unfold and we learn how to live in harmony with nature, we discover not only what works in the garden but also what works in our lives.

Drawing on the work of gardeners throughout history, as well as the writings of poets, painters, novelists, diarists and spiritual teachers, Eileen Campbell demonstrates how gardening can be a path for spiritual growth.
