Women and Men on the Edge: Revisioning and co-creating new possibilities for living.
A two day workshop with Mick Collins and Zelda Hall
Do you dream of a better world?
Humanity is facing multiple crises that are impacting people’s lives, economically, politically, ecologically, socially and spiritually. Polarisations are being created in many areas.The societal roles and expectations of us as women and as men are shifting and evolving rapidly.This is confusing and painful for many of us, creating division and isolation at a time when we long for a sense of belonging and interconnection.
We are at an edge
This workshop offers opportunities for women and men to explore their fullest potential as individuals in this time of global crisis. We will consider how existing roles and expectations can be limiting and/or enabling.We will explore how we can then be participants in the collective, transpersonal and ecological quest for wholeness. How we can go beyond the edge.
We will also make space for the visionary energies which are alive within us, as we make connections to inner wisdom, talents and abilities.
Who is the workshop for?
This workshop is for anyone who struggles with what it means to be a woman or a man in these times and is interested in supporting their deepest vision, and what this could mean for participating in collective transformation.
Ways of working
Various techniques and approaches such as visualisation, dreamwork and body awareness exercises will be used in the workshop, both individually and in pairs. There will also be some group process work.
Mick and Zelda both have a background in, and are inspired by, Process Oriented Psychology as envisioned by Arnold and Amy Mindell.
We invite you to:
- Explore what being a woman/man in these times means for you.
- Discover what gifts you bring to the world beyond the roles you have been assigned or taken on.
- Co-create new ways of soul-centred living.

3 Zondag middagen:
Zelda zal een serie van drie workshops geven waarvan de rode draad zal zijn het verankeren in het lichaam van de kennis van de ziel.
Ze zal gebruik maken van het ‘dreambody’ concept van Arnold Mindell. Er wordt gewerkt met hoe dromen zich in het lichaam manifesteren in de vorm van ziekte en symptomen. Ook zullen we kijken hoe dezelfde thema’s of fenomenen voorkomen in alle aspecten van ons leven zoals relaties en ons geloofssysteem over onszelf en de wereld. Zo komen we erachter wat onze ‘levensmythe’ is; ons verhaal van de ziel. En hoe alles wat er gebeurt ons daartoe uit kan nodigen om meer ons-Zelf te worden.
Zelda zal iedere keer een informatief introductie geven. Dan heeft iedereen de kans om zelf te experimenteren met een oefening. Er is dan tijd voor het uitwisselen van ervaringen en het stellen van vragen.
The Soul’s Code – Diving Deep
Saturday 25th May 2019
Do you long for a more soulful life? Our soul speaks to us through dreams, body symptoms and synchronicities. Learn to listen with curiosity and compassion.
Each of us comes to this life with a purpose. By discovering what we are doing here, our life acquires meaning.
In this workshop we will use visualisation, bodywork, dreamwork and various other approaches to help discover our soul’s code.
For whom is this workshop suitable?
Anyone who wants to explore their soul purpose and is open to doing this in a small group is welcome.
You do not have to be accomplished in remembering your dreams 😉
I have been limiting the number of individual clients I take on, so this is an opportunity for those who would like to work with me but have not had a chance.
This workshop is inspired by the work of Arnold and Amy Mindell and also by James Hillman and Caroline Myss.
Dangerous Women Workshop
February 9 2019
A repeat of our weekend workshop for women given by Zelda, and Faye Blake.
A workshop for women in our series ‘She who dares’.
What makes a woman dangerous? Women who do not conform to a particular society’s expectations and ideas of femininity, while we might also admire them, are often seen as dangerous and threatening. Not only by men but by other women.
Because of this, women often suppress parts of themselves which they deem less acceptable. These parts, when unacknowledged, can wreak havoc in relationships and our work life as they sneak out anyway. Or they affect our physical health, expressing themselves as illness. We can sometimes find them lurking in the images of our dreams. We come across them in our responses to other women in our daily lives, in the media and in positions of power.
In this workshop we will explore what it means to be a ‘dangerous woman’ and who we consider to be a danger to ourselves or others. We will learn what our inner dangerous woman looks like and what her gifts might be.
We will use insights from astrology, history and culture, myth and story. You will get feedback and information based on your own personal astrological chart. Dreams and body work will also be used to explore your inner ‘dangerous woman’.
This workshop offers an opportunity to become more conscious of what it means for you to be a woman in these changing and often challenging times. You will become aware of limiting beliefs you have about yourself as a woman and the possibility of new choices. And you can discover the gifts that the Dangerous Woman offers.

Rewiring relationships: Beyond expectations and beliefs
We enter relationships with grand enthusiasm and hope, but sometimes find that they fall far short of the potential we believed they had. Our partners may not live up to expectations, or the relationship itself seems to get stuck at various points. If we can understand the underlying dynamics of our partnerships, we may be able to steer around obstacles and create more joyful and harmonious relationships. We will explore the inner wiring of relationships to become more aware of the choices we make.
Participants will have the opportunity to have their astrology charts (give us your birth date, time, and place when you register) analysed by professional astrologers for relationship potentials and challenges.
This workshop is open to everyone who is interested in relationships whether they are currently in a relationship or not and will be lead by Zelda Hall, Armand Diaz from the US, and Faye Blake.
Armand’s part: Relationships through another lens
The problems we have in a relationship sometimes don’t come from actual interactions and experiences, but from the assumptions and beliefs about relationships that we carry. Most of us have images of an ideal relationship to which we compare our actual partnerships, and can decide that ‘different’ is ‘worse’ than the ideal. Often, too, each partner has a different underlying belief about what should be, and it can be hard to harmonise these visions. We will explore the parts of the horoscope that tell about relationship ideals and realities, and suggest strategies for working with them constructively.
Faye’s part: The power of balance
Faye will look at the issue of how to balance what you want with the wishes of your partner. How can you be yourself and follow your heart’s desire and still respect your partner’s dreams? Being aware of your own issues around stepping into your power and going for what you want can be very helpful. Are you in a power-struggle? Whose will is stronger? Are you doing what you really love or are you giving up who you really are? We will look at parts of your horoscope to give some insight into how empowerment and will can be developed in relationships.
Zelda’s part: The end of ‘normal’
The tectonic plates of culture are shifting on a planetary and a personal level and many of us are struggling to (re)define ourselves as ‘women’ or as ‘men’ in a changing world. Yet we bring into a relationship all sorts of ideas and assumptions about what is normal – some conscious, some not so conscious. Our relationships may require of us that we let go of some of our most cherished beliefs. What do you need in order to be truly yourself in relationship? And to embrace the other fully.
Is this workshop for you?
No prior knowledge of astrology is needed. This workshop is for you if you are looking for ways to improve current or future partnerships, or seeking to understand the dynamics of past relationships.
What’s in it for you?
You’ll have the opportunity to experience simple, straightforward and insightful understanding of your relationship dynamics. You’ll also gain information from your horoscope, which often gives clarity as to your own patterns.
