2026 Workshop

Opening to the New 

10.00 – 3.00 pm Sunday 11 January 2026

Queen’s Hall, Hall Row, Charlestown, KY11, UK 

A New Year begins soon …
Do you ever ask – what am I doing, why am I doing it & does it serve me?
 What is your intention and motivation for living this one precious life?
How might I look after myself so that I can capture and provide my energy towards my passions and plans?
It will be a day of meditation, reflection and movement, with sharing in small groups and writing exercises.

“To enter an unmapped domain of newness, and to be completely open and available to what it offers, we must first let go of our cherished ideas of how things are supposed to work. We must allow these preconceptions to dissolve, only by letting them go will the past not dominate this moment […] When the present is weighted down by past issues, then we live in darkness and cannot benefit from the revitalising effects of the new beginning. We carry in the new realm old idealisations and perfectionist fantasies, which make it difficult to truly succeed in the new venture”

Mingyur Rinpoche 2019.

”Good for the soul.

”Really beneficial to support my mental health!

”Bill's teaching is soulful and gentle to the mind and healing to the body. I like his range of personal reflections and authentic sharing to bring alive issues and encourage me to reflect deeper and heal.

Participant Feb 2025

”I found Bill to be a skilled teacher, calmly and with care taking the group through each step, making it understandable and practical.

”I love Bill’s teachings. I always feel comfortable, valued, and accepted. I feel like his courses are a kind of connection to a Sangha, and being amongst like minded people is amazing. He organises excellent venues, if sometimes a little cold! I feel like I can speak, be heard, and contribute openly without feeling too self conscious. More importantly, I can hear the experience and opinions of others and that helps my learning and understanding immensely. I am on a journey (and probably will be forever!) but Bill’s workshops help me to stay on track and facilitate my journey.

”Really enjoyed the ‘workshop’ format, being able to engage and share experiences and reflections with different members of the group. The teaching part was so enlightening; it helped me to reflect on what’s going on for me and ways I might reframe my responses to my thoughts and actions.
