Dear list,
Some information regarding an upcoming workshop that some of you may be
interested in
Attachment, Intimacy and the Primal
Process
A residential weekend workshop
Friday 24th August - 6pm until Sunday 26th August -
4pm
Facilitated by Dr John Spensley and Gillian
Johnson
Cost: $595 - includes workshop, full accommodation and
meals
Our first attachment experiences occur pre-verbally. Unless we are able to
form trusting attachments in our first years of life, we are prone to distorted
forms of intimacy as we re-enact our past again and again in our relationships.
During this workshop, there will be the opportunity to explore these pre-verbal
and other early experiences via the primal process.
Whilst the workshop will appeal to those who have done some primal process
work before, or some deep regressive work, it will also appeal to those who have
an interest in exploring early experiences and are eighteen years of age or
over.
The workshop would not suit those who are having psychological or
psychiatric treatment (without discussion with their therapist), those with
schizophrenia or psychosis, or those who have experienced psychotic reactions
with drugs. Those with severe personality disorders are unlikely to benefit from
this process under these conditions. Each applicant will be individually
assessed.
For further information and application forms, please contact:
The Jamillon Centre
356 Whitehorse Rd,
Balwyn 3103.

Dr John Spensley, paediatrician, trained for many years
with Dr Graham Farrant, a pioneer in the field of Cellular Consciousness and
with whom he started his own Primal Process. His special interest is the effects
of birth and pre-birth experiences on babies, children and adults and how
traumatic experiences might be resolved early rather than later in life. He is
an advocate of the importance of applying this knowledge to the preparation of
couples considering having a child.
Gillian Johnson, psychiatric nurse/midwife, mother of
two, was one of the first people to undertake the Primal Process in Australia.
She was the Nursing Co-ordinator of a busy health centre and previously a Nurse
Counsellor at the Melbourne Clinic. She has run groups and workshops covering
subjects such as Childbirth & Parenting and Sexual Abuse Support for
over twenty years. She is interested in helping people who have been victimised
to reclaim their power and control of their lives. She also trained with Dr
Graham Farrant.
Regards
Shivam Rachana
