Date And Time

We will explore what it means to move from fear to faith and how being present is key to navigating these challenging times and being a aid to others.

Our biological fight or flight system is quite useful when we are facing a specific physical threat, but it is not helpful when we are facing uncertainty as we all are now. Uncertainty, however, is the nature of life. None of our futures are guaranteed, which is why we need to make the most of our lives by making the most of ourselves, even, and especially during these times of uncertainty.

What is needed during periods of uncertainty is not our primitive instinct toward biological survival, but rather the capacity to use our higher brain centres to imagine a different future and lean into faith and courage.

During this workshop we will explore:

• What does experiencing a miracle mean to you?

• What fears have surfaced for you? These could be immediate fears such as anxiety, stress, health, career, money related or resurfacing fears we have been dealing with throughout our lives.

• How has your courage/faith/love expanded during this time of global uncertainty?

Through this interactive meditation and workshop we will explore what it means to move from fear to faith and how fear diminishes our quality of life, our ability to love, and keeps us from the freedom we gain in faith and courage.

We will explore how our imagination and being present are our greatest gifts. The ability to embrace the moment whilst imagining a different future is the first step toward creating one. By being in reverence to the moment whilst recognising, refocusing and re-imagining our circumstances we will feel better in the moment and shift from fear to faith.

About Peter Harper aka The Drunken Monk

What is the Drunken Monk? The title comes from an ancient martial arts style called “The Drunken Monkey” where movements of the practitioner are very relaxed and appear humorous, as if he was drunk. At the same time he is perfectly aware of each movement and rooted in the Present Moment.

The Drunken Monk is about being spiritual, self aware and grounded yet with laughter, authenticity and an acceptance of our human nature in all its aspects.

The aim of this project is to provide a supportive environment with practical tools accompanying you on your journey to explore your natural essence. It is about the synthesis of consciousness and spirituality into the routine of daily life.

Much like the fertile soil nurturing a flower growing from a seed. In attentively cultivated earth a flower grows and blossoms according to its own nature.
