Brigitte Martin Powell (UK)
- Workshop: Flirting your Way to Enlightenment
For some of us the path of personal development is a rather lonely affair and we yearn to step from "alone" to "all one". Brigitte's workshop is a fun, light and safe way to learn to reach out, discover the beauty and hidden treasures in everybody, and let our hearts fill with the love such encounters provide.
Brigitte has been a practicing Rebirther for the last 15 years and involved in personal growth for many years before that. She has been a member of the International Breathwork Foundation since 2000 and is currently holding the position of Treasurer and a member of the GIC08 team. Brigitte's passions are the world, the breath and communities.

Véronique Batter & Manuel Atienza (Spain)
- Workshop: Creative Questions & Creative Question Cards
Discovering how to use Creative Questions to create what you want in your life is the goal of the workshop. It is an introduction to the World of Creative Questions which is a breakthrough since the development of affirmations. Creative Questions are "The Secret" that boosts the Law of Attraction. They awaken our Inner Creative Life-Force into manifesting what we want. A Creative Question like "Why Am I Capable?" releases self-doubt and suppressed power, while boosting self-confidence, passion and success. In this three hour workshop, participants will experience, design and use Creative Questions for personal use and client support. In addition to the workshop, we will present Creative Questions Cards TM at different times throughout the GIC, to offer moments where you can experience the power of this tool for daily life inspiration.
Véronique is a member of IBF Integrity Committee and ex-treasurer of the IBF. She trained with the Bob Mandel in 1995 as a rebirther, and has practiced ever since. From a scientific background, her passion is to accompany human beings on their path to reconnect to their True Self. She dedicates part of her time to prenatal life, supporting pregnant couples and helping healing prenatal memories.
Manuel is a member of IBF for the last 10 years, part of organizing GIC team in 1999 in Spain and a rebirther since 1994. He trained in Spain with Adolfo Domingez and with Bob Mandel in the USA. After a healing journey in 2005 to Tibet with Arne Rantzen, creator of Creative Questions and Unlimited Network, he founded Red Ilimitada, collaborating with Unlimited Network to promote consciousness. Together, they have spent the last year getting trained and playing with Creative Questions, and will introduce them to Spain with the arrival of the Spanish version of the cards in September.

Judith Davis (UK)
- Workshop: Spinal Breathing
Judith presents a fresh approach to Breathwork which promotes healing accessed from breathing through the spine, and acknowledging its ability to connect all areas of the body, both subtle and manifest. The practice of Spinal Breathing is based on information from Spiritual Teacher Mahamuni Babaji, channelled to Judith by Bernadette Vallely during a Breathwork session at the Goddess Temple in Kingston.
In the channelling Babaji says "To mutate into the next level of humankind, the light cells must be clear, the consciousness necessary for the next level means we must release the past, observing, releasing, acknowledging, honouring, allowing, watching it move into the slipstream of time. If you were to take a cross-section of the body the medical profession cannot see the [electromagnetic] charge. They do not search or test for this, but I tell you, it is there - an electro-magnetic field. Your spine is the conductor that attracts and repels…you are realising how little influence the lungs and diaphragm have. Their influence is momentary, physical and insignificant- even in comparison to when the spine is breathing, the breath of the spine connects all breath, is all breath, allows all breath. I tell you this because you believe breath to be air, it is not, it is more than air- it is things you have not yet seen, but know in your heart to be true, it is light!"
Judith offers an experiential workshop based on the information channelled at these sessions. A copy of the channelling script will be available to participants.

Ange Leake (UK)
- Workshop: Finding Your Voice - A Singing Workshop for Children
Singing is a simple pleasure that can be shared by everyone. Using simple chants with minimal need for words, we can move beyond language barriers and connect to our shared playfulness and joy. This workshop will be lighthearted fun for all children, using voice, movement and laughter. I work from the premise that everyone has a voice, therefore everyone can sing. We will use rhythm and action in a way that empowers everyone to join in and feel good about their contribution to the whole. This workshop may also be run for adults at the GIC.

Judith Kravitz (USA)
- Workshop: Accessing the Quantum Field with Transformational Breathing
Judith
Kravitz Breathing is the most profound and effective way of tapping
into higher dimensions of reality. In this two and one half hour workshop
we will come to understand how to maximize the use of breathing to not only
access the quantum field, but also how to make it readily available to us
in our daily lives. Transformational Breath (TM) is a breathing system that
initially fully opens our respiration, then clears mental and emotional
patterns that can block the flow to our connection to expanded states of
awareness. Not only will we have a deeper understanding of how this occurs,
in this workshop we will also share a full experience of opening our breath,
clearing the pathways and accessing the Quantum field.

Through games, drawing, singing and other activities this workshop introduces children and families to each other, so that they feel connected to the whole.

Nemi Nath (Australia)
- Workshop: Inner Peace / Silent Mind
Former co-president of the IBF, Nemi Nath, offers workshops investigating ‘Peak States of Consciousness’, how they improve people's lives, and how they apply in the healing of psychological and physical ailments. This work is based on the early discoveries of Dr. Abraham Maslow in the 1960's, and Nemi writes "We've found that people have the ability to live and work in states of being that are distinct quantum steps above ordinary life - states of enhanced functioning and ability, where people experience the world as an incredible place to live - the very thing that so many of us unconsciously search for in our lives. These states and an understanding of how they occur completely revise current assumptions of psychology, and tie together seemingly unrelated data found in biology, healing, transpersonal psychology, shamanism, and spirituality." For an introduction to the topic, and techniques to make them relatively permanent, attend Nemi’s workshop ‘Inner Peace / Silent Mind’ at the GIC.
Nemi
is based in Lismore, NSW, Australia and is the Director of Training for
the Peak States Institute.
She works with basic and advanced skills. Prior to PeakStates she has
extensive experience as a breathwork therapist. Her scope of treatments
includes: Family and relationship issues, sexual and other abuse issues,
depressions, OCD, addictions, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, general
life improvement, lifepath, carrier and management issues. She conducts
PeakState processes and is available for introductory talks on Whole Hearted
Healing and PeakStates work. Nemi takes residential clients for personal
retreats at the Australian PeakStates training and Therapy centre.
