Woman of Heart: Learning to let go
2022-12-10 10:00 - 16:00 | Trevenson Community Hall, Church Road, Pool, Redruth, Cornwall, TR153PT, United Kingdom
Book your Ticket
A ONE DAY WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN OF HEART TO LET GO AND FIND INNER PEACE THROUGH THE ANCIENT PRACTICE OF FORGIVENESS
‘The Forgiveness Workshop was a profound, powerful, inspiring, healing and soothing day for me, thank you again. I won’t forget this work, and am so grateful to have been introduced to you and it.’ Karen
As we pass through this autumn time of year, we are surrounded by the trees who are gracefully releasing their leaves in anticipation for their spring rebirth, preserving their energy, and revealing their bare, magnificent, rooted selves.
As a woman of heart, perhaps you are feeling:

a desire to release some of the weight from your past which you are carrying inside to free you up for a beauty-full and light-filled future.
an increased sense of overwhelm and anxiety, with repeated themes and patterns that don’t seem to be shifting on their own.
a yearning to feel lighter and more peaceful within.

If the inner wise voice within is whispering to you ‘it’s time to let go’, then this workshop is the safe place to make your journey inwards and begin the releasing process through the ancient practice of forgiveness.
Forgiveness has the ability to bring healing where there is hurt, set you free from past wrongs, and take away the heavy burden of resentment, shame, guilt, and rage.
On our day together we will:

Explore what forgiveness is and isn’t, its purpose, the best conditions for it to be most effective, and when forgiveness is unlikely to be the best medicine in a situation.
What the forgiveness journey entails and why a spiritual perspective is so helpful.
Learn and practice a forgiveness tool which you will be able to apply in your own life.

The main focus of the day will be on how to forgive others and situations from the past, but we will also touch upon the journey of forgiving ourselves, and the practices can be used for both.
Woman of heart you are welcome to come and join us, and we look forward to welcoming you.
What other women of heart have said about these days:
“Amazing, safe space, well structured and insightful. Wonderful, powerful work. Thank You!’ Becky W “The exercises were helpful for getting out of my head and into the body and intuitive wisdom.Good value for a very valuable day.” Julia “A wonderful, inspiring and supportive day.” Julia C ” Helen creates a safe space that is thought -provoking and interesting.

The event will be facilitated by Helen Tanner who is a peacebuilder, healer and psychotherapist who has spent many years working internationally in conflict areas and is now based in Redruth. For more information on Helen, click here.

From ego and shame to peace and love: Finding our way home
2022-03-26 09:30 - 16:30 | Trevenson Community Hall, Church Road, Pool, Redruth, Cornwall, TR153PT, United Kingdom
Tickets

” Helen created a very safe space to be-to let things emerge. The day was balanced, clear, and wonderful value in every respect. I would thoroughly recommend.” Ruth
The ego is a system of thoughts, beliefs, and feelings that seems to have us collectively in its grip. It has many tools at its disposal, some of which you may recognise… Unforgiveness, blaming, power over others, fear, control, judgment, rage, and of course shame.
Shame is the ultimate painful story. It has us believe at the core of our being that there is something wrong with us. It whispers and sometimes shouts that we’re not good enough. It tells us we’re bad, we’re broken, and that we don’t deserve love, because we’re worthless. When we feel this way, it seems as though there is plenty of evidence to prove it – every harsh word we hear, every criticism, betrayal, or abandonment we experience.
In this workshop, we will be gently shining the light on the workings of the ego and shame and exploring how they can be transformed and released through the self-compassion & forgiveness process. We will:
-Gain a deeper understanding of what the ego is, and how to identify it in our lives.
-Gain a deeper understanding of what shame is, and its impact if left unattended.
-Look at how the self-compassion and forgiveness journey helps us to release shame and ego from our life bringing a new sense of freedom, peace, and love.
The workshop will be facilitated by Helen Tanner – Creative Psychotherapist & Healer specialising in guided self-compassion & forgiveness journeys. helentanner.com
Woman & Men of Heart, you are warmly invited to join me, and your tribe for the day, in exploration, connection, care, and shared compassion.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Buy my ticket now!

“Helen created a very safe space to be-to let things emerge. The day was balanced, clear, and wonderful value in every respect. I would thoroughly recommend.” Ruth HAs day gives way to night, light gives way to dark, and summer gives way to winter, trees are gracefully releasing their leaves in anticipation for their spring rebirth, preserving their energy, and revealing their bare, magnificent, rooted selves.
We are called to do the same.
Yet, we must navigate the tension of our life’s natural inner cycles, and those imposed by the unrelenting demands of the outer world.
As a woman of heart, perhaps you are feeling:

increased pressure on your energy, time, and creativity,
an increased sense of overwhelm and anxiety,
repeated themes and patterns that don’t seem to be shifting on their own,
on edge, as you yearn for some quiet restorative time for yourself,
a desire for greater connection with your sacred and spiritual self.

If the inner wise voice is whispering to you now, ‘it’s time’, time to let go, and clear some space, then this is the safe place to make your journey inwards.
Through a variety of practices including creative psychotherapy, meditation, sharing, journaling, and practical exercises, you will be able to:

Re-root: Deepen and strengthen your connection to your inner wisdom, intuition, and place of inner peace.
Re-lease: Dive deep into enquiry about what is happening in the living garden of your life. What seeds are calling to be planted? What is flourishing? What is waning? What has died and now is asking to be released to enable energy to flow once more.
Re-emerge: Return to your life with a sense of sacred connectedness, calm and a focus for your ongoing inner work as the winter months unfold, preparing for your spring re-birth.

Woman of Heart, you are warmly invited to join me, and your female tribe, for a beautiful day of connection, care and shared compassion.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Searching for Peace: Finding Forgiveness
2021-06-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
In these times, we are being called to show up as the leaders and Peace-makers that we are.

We are needed now more than ever.
Let us speak our truth, step up, be visible, and heard.

As we light the fire in our hearts, let us remember that how we build, in this dawning age, is as important as what we build.

As we weave Peace into the fabric of our outer world, the invitation is to heal, and experience it in our inner world.

We are called to release blame, victimhood, and the temptation to ‘other’ those whom we perceive as the problem.

The human family, and living planet, are desperately calling out for Peace.

And in the still moments, on the whisper of the wind, we may hear a call to follow the path of Forgiveness.

It’s not an easy path, nor a quick one, but it is an ancient one, fiercely powerful, and available for all of us willing to make the journey.

In this workshop, as part of World Unity Week, you are warmly invited to join us, for an exploration into the ancient practice and pathway of Forgiveness.

Beyond Rage Workshop
2021-06-23 13:30 - 15:00 | Online
“Rage sits at the crossroads of personal transformation. Those of us seeking spiritual enlightenment will inevitable stumble upon personal rage upon the path” – Ruth King
Rage has two very different faces: On the one hand we feel her power, strength, righteousness, heat, and fuel for fighting oppression, but what of her violent, destructive, volatile, vengeful nature?
As we individually and collectively seek to transform out-dated ways of living as a human family, is there a need for rage?
Can transformation be achieved through Love and peaceful means?
Can we really create something new and harmonious with an energy that matches the very problem we are trying to transform?
In this workshop, we will be exploring what rage is, its purpose, and how we can move ‘beyond rage’ through self-compassion and forgiveness, and find a deeper, more rooted strength and passion through an open heart, and connection to our divine loving nature.
The workshop is offered by Helen Tanner Creative Psychotherapist specialising in Forgiveness.
This workshop is free, and is offered as part of World Unity Week 2021. It will take place on Zoom.
We look forward to welcoming you at the workshop.
Blessings and Peace, Helen

Cultivating Inner Peace for Outer Peace
2021-06-19 13:00 - 14:30 | Online
“The wound is the place where the light enters in” – Rumi
When we imagine a peaceful world, our attention often focuses onto what we can change in the ‘outer world’ to build peace and prevent violence.
But as a mighty oak grows from a tiny acorn, so seeds of peace must be planted within our hearts and minds before being gently nurtured into reality in the outer world.
Some of the richest ground in which to ‘grow peace’, are the most tender places within: our hurts, our pains, and inner conflicts. This workshop will explore the opportunities waiting for us within our wounds and inner conflicts, recognising the rich and fertile ground they provide in which to grow the seeds of peace.
This experiential workshop, led by Karin Augustat, Helen Tanner, Bianca Neff and Nino Lotishvili, four Rotary Peace Fellows from Germany, UK, Spain, and Georgia, will explore and weave together four perspectives on cultivating inner peace, each with a practical, personal application:
1. Approaches of Social Healing: How to overcome trauma, mistrust and division (includes practical exercises)
2. Pain: The Problem and Promise of inner pain in our peacebuilding efforts.
3. Forgiveness: Transforming pain and suffering into Freedom, Peace and Love through the ancient practice of Self-Compassion and Forgiveness.
4. Personal Development: by acknowledging our own shadow parts and our inner pain we start embracing and accepting and embracing ourselves as a whole.
Presenters
Nino Lotishvili, an intercultural communication specialist, the founder of Peace Research Centre Tbilisi and Mindful Georgia (Georgia)
Helen Tanner, a peacebuilder, forgiveness guide, trainer, and qualified psychotherapist with an extensive portfolio of working in the UK -including seven years as Charity Director- and internationally in countries including Botswana, Tunisia and war-affected Libya, Myanmar, South Sudan, Kosovo, and Belfast (UK).
Bianca Neff, a humanitarian professional, the founder of Petra Peacebuilders, an NGO dedicated to providing trauma healing and resilience support for peacebuilders (Spain/USA).
Karin Augustat, a social anthropologist and psychologist, international expert in development cooperation with international organisations in various fields including psycho-social support and peacebuilding (Germany).
This skills-based workshop is part of the Global Peace Conference “Weaving a Shared Future Together”.

The Space in Between Livestream
2021-05-12 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“Honour the space in between no longer and not yet.” – Nancy Levin
The Pause.
The Space in between.
The excruciating place of being pulled back, and being pulled forward.
The turbulence of not knowing, of change, of swirling, falling, hoping, fearing, releasing, trusting, landing.
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 12th of May at 7p.m (UK), we will be exploring the ‘space in between’ when we have chosen change, or change has chosen us. The space where the seed of new life has been planted, but is still lying dormant in the ‘dark place’. We know we can’t go back, but it is not yet time for usto move forward.
The ‘space in between’ can be a very difficult, fragile and lonely place, but just maybe there’s a way to relax, enjoy and even embrace the ‘space in between’.
Come and find out how…

Getting Unstuck Livestream
2021-05-05 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“You have to stop thinking that you will be stuck in your current situation forever. We feel like our hearts will never heal, or we’ll never get our fo this impossible struggle. Don’t confuse a season for a lifetime. Even your trials have an expiration date. You will grow, life will change, things will work out.” – Britney Moses
Sometimes you just feel stuck.
Whichever way you turn feels blocked, and your unexpressed energy weighs heavily on you.
The temptation is to retreat into familiar distractions, Netflix, comfort eating, drinking, scrolling social media-which of course, eventually, makes you feel worse.
The disconnection you can feel, as time goes on, leads to a sense of living in a bubble and looking out on the world rather than participating in it. The Pause.
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 5th of May at 7p.m (UK), we will be exploring what gets us stuck and feeling trapped in our life, and how to get unstuck, feeling free-er, more peaceful and connected.
The talk is given by Helen Tanner Creative Psychotherapist- specialising in Forgiveness. @helentanner.com.

Giving and Receiving Love Livestream
2021-04-28 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it, and embrace them..” – Rumi
Giving & receiving Love in our lives is the basis of everything: When the river of Love is blocked, we are unable to experience joy, to create, to connect or find meaning.
It’s not about what we do, but about doing it with Love. It’s not about what we see, but seeing it with Love, it’s not about reaching out to others, but connecting to them with Love…
It’s not about ‘learning’ to be loving, but removing what gets in the way – as Love is our natural way of being. (Despite the evidence we think we have of the contrary.)
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 28th of April at 7 p.m (BST), we will be exploring giving and receiving love, the barriers we have built inside ourselves against allowing Love to flow freely in our lives, and how to ’embrace’ and then release them.

Self-Betrayal Livestream
2021-04-21 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“Self-betrayal is allowing fear to overrule the still, small voice of truth.” – Glennon Doyle
There are many ways in which we betray ourselves out of fear: not sticking to life goals, not speaking our truth, not doing the work we love, staying in relationships that are not right for us, being loyal to others above ourself…
And as a consequence, our confidence, our trust, our joy, and sense of safety in the world erodes, and triggers a sense of worthlessness and shame.
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 21st of April at 7 p.m (BST), we will be exploring self-betrayal, what it means, why and how we do it, and how to begin the journey back to a loving and powerful relationship with our ‘true’ self.

Weight loss and Forgiveness Livestream
2021-04-14 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“The real you, like the rose itself, is naturally and unself-consciously beautiful. And the world is more beautiful because of it. A spiritual practice is the bridge back to you and the real world. Through prayer, meditation, forgiveness and compassion, you make conscious contact with your spiritual self, your most beautiful self, and hasten the process of your healing.” – Marianne Williamson
For anyone who has had a long term issue with being overweight, losing the pounds can feel like a battle, like going to war with oneself.
Anyone who has lost weight, only to put it all back on again, knows the frustration and shame that comes with the endless cycles of over eating and deprivation, and that willpower only goes so far in making long term behavioural change.
Forgiveness has an incredible power to bring Freedom, Peace and Love back into our life. But what has it got to offer when it comes to losing weight for good?
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 14th of April at 7p.m (BST), we will be exploring how Forgiveness can help support weight loss, offer freedom from the war within, and return you to a loving relationship with yourself.
Tune in to find out what the Forgiveness journey entails, and how to get support if you are ready for your journey.

Mid-Life Awakening & Forgiveness Livestream
2021-03-24 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“At midlife, the part of ourselves that we have known, the caterpillar, is disintegrating..The emergence of the butterfly requires, absolutely demands, the sacrifice of the caterpillar..The word sacrifice..means the forfeiting of something of importance in the service of receiving something of even greater value. The word literally means ‘to make holy.’.” – Kathleen A. Brehony
The mid-point of our life, the transition from the caterpillar to the butterfly, is often wrapped up in the language of ‘crisis’. It can feel a lonely and frightening time, requiring our deep trust and faith in the process.
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 24th of March at 7p.m (UTC), we will be exploring the role of Forgiveness in supporting our transition at mid-life to release what no longer serves us, find freedom from the past, connect to our true loving spiritual nature, and re-align to an authentic expression of who we are in the world.
Tune in to find out what the Forgiveness journey entails, and how to get support if you are ready for your journey.

I want the world to change! Radical transformation through Love Livestream
2021-03-17 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“Sometimes you can pressure people into changing, you can force them, but the powers-that-be have more force than we do. I don’t think we are going to win in a contest of force. I think we need to induce a change of heart..We have to create the conditions where people feel safe to feel, and to care. That goes against a lot of our programming about how to make something change in the world.” – Charles Eisenstein
Most of us can see things in the world that we wish would change.
The big one for me, the change I long for, is the end of the destruction to the natural world, and in particular, in recent times, the destruction of the ancient woodlands, and natural habitats in the Uk and beyond.
As someone committed to Peace and the path of Forgiveness, I’ll admit I struggled to find the love in my heart, and mind, for those whose actions, I perceive, are responsible for wide-scale natural destruction.
And yet, all of the ancient teachings and great teachers of Peace show us that Love is the way, even in the face of violence and destruction.The excruciating place of being pulled back, and being pulled forward.
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 17th of March at 7p.m (UTC) we will be exploring how we can bring about real and radical change in the world through the transformative power of Love, what this means for us in, and as a, practice, and whether Forgiveness could have something valuable to offer in showing us the way?

Handling Rejection Gracefully Livestream
2021-03-10 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“Everytime I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.” – Dr. Steve Maraboli
When we look back over the journey of our life, it is perhaps easier to see how a rejection of something we wanted at the time, led us to something even better than we imagined.
But in the moment, when we experience rejection from a job, a relationship, a friendship, or opportunity, we can feel devastated, and a loss of confidence.The Space in between.
How can we get to a state of inner grace, where rejection becomes ‘feedback’ for us, without the need to unduly suffer, and close our heart in protection?
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 10th of March at 7p.m (UTC) we will be exploring how we can live increasingly from a state of grace, love and trust, embracing even rejection into our life.

Forgiveness, Judgement & Discernment Livestream
2021-03-03 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“The practice of discernment is part of higher consciousness. Discernment is not just a step up from judgement…it is the opposite of judgement. The judgment reveals what still needs to be released and learned. Through discernment, what has already been mastered is revealed.” – Glena Green
One of the great gifts of journeying inwards with Forgiveness is the shift to living a more authentic life, aligned to your heart, values, and truth.
It is a journey of releasing shame, blame, victimhood, judgement, guilt, and rage, which have been blocking you, and keeping you tied to the past, to re-membering your true nature as a loving, peaceful, joyful being.
As you relax back into alignment with who you really are, you’re invited to learn how to live and respond to life in a more peaceful, loving way.
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 3rd of March at 7p.m (UTC) we will be exploring the shift from judging ourselves and others to discerning and making good decisions for ourselves from a place of love and trust.
The talk is given by Helen Tanner Creative Psychotherapist- specialising in Forgiveness. @helentanner.com.

Listening Circle of Support
2021-02-24 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, and true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.” – Carl Jung
I invite you to join our ‘Listening Circle of Support’ on Wednesday 24th of February at 7 p.m UTC.
This is a safe space for you to both share what’s alive within you, and be heard, and also to listen and be present to others.
It’s not a space for advice or problem solving, just witnessing and being held in compassion for a moment, in a shared human experience.
In addition, if you have questions around self-compassion or Forgiveness, it is an opportunity to ask your questions.
The circle will be held on Zoom on Wednesday 24th of February from 7-8.15 p.m UTC, and facilitated by Helen Tanner Creative Psychotherapist & Forgiveness Guide
This event and other free talks can be accessed by joining the FB group: Forgiveness for Women & Men of Heart. www.facebook.com/groups/ForgivenessHeart (please answer the membership questions for access).

Forgiveness, Anger & Turtle Wisdom Livestream
2021-02-17 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
“Finding yourself is actually returning to yourself, an unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you..” – Emily McDowell
One of the great gifts of journeying inwards with Forgiveness is the shift to living a more authentic life, aligned to your values and truth.
It is a journey of gently releasing shame, blame, victimhood, judgment, guilt, and rage, which have been blocking you, and keeping you tied to the past, and re-membering your true nature as a loving, peaceful, joyful being.
As you breathe light and love back into your being and re-emerge back into the world of relationships with others, you will be invited to develop a new relationship with your anger.
For this, there is much wisdom to be gained through observing the nature of Turtle, and how they navigate so gracefully into the deep oceans and flow of life, whilst also utilising their shell, when necessary, for protection and respite.
In this Livestream, on Wednesday 17th of February at 7p.m (UTC) we will be exploring anger, in the context of the Forgiveness journey, and dive gently into the depths, with Turtle as our guide.
