Enlightened Events

After another talk in the Gold Coast, Dolores and Julia were back in Sydney for the last of the evening talks. We had another great turn out, in spite, of the heavy downpours. People came from the south coast, Blue Mountains and the Central Coast.

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dolores conducted her Level 1 Quantum Hypnosis Training to an eager group of students.

On Sunday, I headed off to the Yoga Aid Challenge in the Botanical Gardens. The backdrop was stunning on this perfect morning with the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge in the background. Clive Mayhew was pleased with the 400 plus turn out! It was a great experience seeing one of my early Yoga students, Gowri Sriraman, up there on the stage doing sun salutes. I caught up with Michael de Manincor, Lisa and the kids.

After a quick shower, I headed north to have lunch with the IYTA Convention committee. It worked out perfectly, as I had a chance to see Wendy Batchelor and invite her to speak at Divine Feminine. She said yes instantly. What an exciting program it is going to be! After lunch, I talked with Janet Stevens and Patricia Wigley about my ideas for a Yoga therapy conference and workshops with Dr. Shirley Telles.
This week, I interviewed Denise Cook. She is also very enthusiastic about Divine Feminine. Jason and I also interviewed Julia Cannon, about life with Dolores and Julia’s upcoming book. Then for a change of scene, I had a Skype interview with Swami Samnyasananda (Philip Stevens) in Melbourne. We discussed his presentation at the Australian Yoga therapy conference on Clinical Yoga for Mental Health professionals and his take on Yoga as therapy.
