Awakening the Power Within You

“Ed is a master at this and made me feel welcomed and accepted at all times.”

“The real-life efficacy and potency that I see deployed in the work these men do is staggering to me; it works. They hold a phenomenal space and build a powerful container in which they work with the precision and grace of samurai.”

N.G., Bristol

“Ed creates a space for men to find their authentic selves with love and kindness. I highly recommend this work”

I am continually amazed at the brilliance with which this archetype can deceive; I see it in men on my workshops, I see it in myself. The Magician mind can hide our most obvious patterns in plain sight, he can sabotage so gently that we don’t even notice going back to compulsive patterns. He can weave myths and stories; have us believe the most incredible things without any evidence, continually bringing our attention to what fits with the delusion he wishes to maintain. In a split second, he can generate a mist of confusion so powerful that we forget our words mid-sentence.

Consider for one moment; how would it be if this arsenal of skills was on the side of your King?

For most of us, it is the opposite. Often, when we take a step towards what our heart most yearns for, our Magician will find a cunning way to keep us small, held back and in the familiar world of our own neurosis. And so for many of us a fight develops as we attempt to keep our magicians at bay.

But it is difficult to fight someone who by definition you cannot see. And the Magician even has the power to control what we see. It is he who shapes the lenses to project images from a painful past onto the world around us, so the world seems somehow threatening. The truth is that most of the time we are not even aware of what is real and what is the fiction created by our Magician.

Before we go beyond these energies, we must give them their due. We must become familiar with the intelligence of the Magician patterns we developed and how their origins lie in attempt to keep us safe. It is only when we become intimate with these parts of ourselves and open our hearts to them, so that the soft animal of the body can begin to relax, that integration begins. When our loyal soldiers know on a deep level that the war is over and they really will be welcomed home.

Then we start to see what true magic is, and that all along a part of us is an immensely powerful Magician; a shaman who is capable of insight, shapeshifting, transformation and manifestation. It is just that he has been busy working against a threat that is no longer present.

With your Magician at your side, you have the power of a visionary; to deconstruct or see the insight with a flash of inspiration, so that you know the exact sweet spot that will yield your intention. With a calm rested mind, you can be be aware of exactly what is needed and re-perceive stuck places. Moreover, your Magician holds the exact key to transformation; not the kind that involves hours of therapy, or sitting watching your breath for weeks, but a very direct realisation of your own wholeness.

He is, after all, the one within you who decided to lock away whatever natural life energies you are missing in shadow.

On the workshop we will be:

• Learning how to access energy and power that has been lost in your shadow.

• Becoming conscious of the inner process of self-shaming so that you can regain your natural self-confidence.

• Developing the profound safety and trust needed to relax the inner struggle which unconsciously regenerates many problems.

• Understanding and releasing the roots of self-sabotage.

• Discovering your true value and soul calling, beyond ideas of who you ‘should’ be.

• Accessing the wisdom, clarity and resources of your unconscious mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I am ill with Co-Vid?

Yes. If you were forced to self-isolate you would receive a full refund. Any prepaid travel costs would not be refunded.  Click here for more info

Could you offer me guidance on how much I should pay?

 I intentionally offer a sliding scale to make my work accessible to all; higher payments subsidise lower payments and concessions. The invitation is to consider your financial circumstances and decide what amount honours you right now.

How do concessions work?

 Concessionary places are subsidised by men who are able to pay a higher fee on the sliding scale. If you know you want to come on this workshop and the lower tier price is not affordable for you, please send me an email and we can discuss whether there is a way to make this possible.

Will I get to do a piece of personal work during the weekend?

There are several times within the programme set aside to do process work in the circle, so if you have a particular issue we will encourage you to bring this. However, we will not be offering a set period of time for each man to work, as we have done on some of our previous workshops. 

I live locally, is it possible that I could attend and stay at home?

For the work we are doing, it is essential that all participants stay on site. This allows the time and space to discover, strengthen and develop your Sovereign Energy, both individually and as a group.  We also have a very full programme!
