Chris-Tian RA - Healer, Channel-Medium, Spiritual Teacher
Has always been a free spirit, Chris-Tian RA discovered on his journey, that the greatest freedom possible comes from being Soul-Aware. His teachings are rooted in his own experiences and are not bound to any religion, a particular spiritual movement or any other belief system.
At the age of eighteen he had a unexpected Out-Of-Body experience that lasted for two hours. Bathed in the purest Light and unconditional Love this event set the direction for his future Life. His vocation emerged shortly after the birth of his second daughter in 1985 in Munich/Germany. His crown chakra opened during his first Meditation ever in this lifetime and a spiritual Teacher announced his presence to him. After a year of intense training on how to work with this spiritual being he began to offer his services as Channel-Medium and Energy-Healer. Until 1998 he had worked with thousands of people throughout Europe, supporting them on their Life's Journey. MURAM, the name of his spiritual teacher, is until today the main 'source' in his One to One work with people.

Dr India Whitehouse - Clinical Psychologist and light living guide
India Whitehouse is a clinical Psychologist who combines Psychology and energy awareness with the aim of guiding people towards their true destiny and the peace and clam that arises from that state of being. In 2008 India will be running a 12 month Practitioner training course at the IAM centre for those who want to take a self transformational journey and then become a light living practitioner as a profession.
"Light Living raises self awareness and frees up the energy you need to fulfill your true destiny. Living from your heart and responding to your life rather than reacting to it enables you to journey back to your true self and experience life from a more grounded, energized perspective.
Growing awareness coupled with Eastern techniques for healing illuminate ways of being and personal choices that are resonate with your heart, rather than being led by thoughts, beliefs and "old patterns" that are no longer helpful. This leads to less conflict between your head and your heart, a clearer perspective on life, the actualisation of your hearts true needs and the experience of more authentic, fulfilling relationships."

Geraldine Parkes - Tai Chi instructor
TAI CHI, HARA BODY ALIGHMENT & QIGONG
In 1984 I was introduced to Yang style TaiChi by Mr Loo-Chi Hu QSM and my journey began. Encouraging me to teach in 1989 it is now a full time profession and I have the pleasure of teaching at Drug and Rehabilitation Units, Retirement Villages, Schools, Workplace, One on One Tuition & Retreats. I am a founding member of the NZ National TaiChi Chuan Association since its establishment in 1988. In 2004 I studied with Dr Paul Lam who has modified the Sun style tai chi especially for elderly persons, diabetics and arthritic persons. I am a qualified tutor and this is supported by ACC and Arthritis NZ. Studying with the late David Hood I discovered the Hara and am now a recognised practitioner of "Hara Alignment" and incorporate this with my classes.
Tai Chi is a series of beautiful and graceful movements to balance the mind body and spirit - and can be learned by anybody. The slow and gentle movements do not put your body under any undue stress. The movements will build up your inner strength with little risk to injury. It has been used in this way throughout history both to prevent and aid recovery from illness and to reduce stress.
Tai Chi forms are usually easy to recognize from the fact that they are usually practiced quite slowly. The main reason for this is that it helps your body to learn the movements in a very precise and yet relaxed way. The movements will look graceful because of the circular motion.

Karen Lewis - Wu Tao instructor
Dance Your Way to Health, Fitness and Vitality
In today's fast-paced and busy life, there is a growing need for an enjoyable way to maintain health and well-being. A revolutionary approach to achieving balance and vitality is Wu Tao, an exercise therapy that combines Dance, Music and Meditation. Similar to Yoga and Tai Chi, Wu Tao does not only enhance physical fitness, it also has a strong healing and therapeutic effect. It differs from other therapies in its use of dance as its primary vehicle to achieving health and balance.
Wu Tao - The Dancing Way has its foundations in Oriental Medicine. The Tao means the Path or the Way and coordinates with nature; season, climate, day and night. It has a holistic philosophy restoring balance on all levels: physically, mentally and spiritually; it brings the spirit and body together allowing a blissful state of oneness to arise. This is achieved by doing a series of 5 dances, which unblock the Qi (the life force energy) in the body. Each dance creatively expresses one of the five elements of oriental medicine: air, water, wood, fire and earth. Having learnt the 5 dances, one is able to dance them collectively which brings you to a place of perfect beauty, perfect harmony and perfect balance. It allows for the calming of the mind where one can put aside 'issues and problems' and relax into the moment. Wu Tao is a gentle and pleasant practice which encourages individuality and creativity through the medium of dance. Special meditations support the dance and beautiful music accompanies each step taken.
Karen Lewis, Wu Tao licensed teacher, invites you to join weekly classes on Wednesdays at the IAM Centre, 267a Cambridge Terrace (behind the Theosophical Society building). The classes are designed specifically for those of you who enjoy dancing and mild exercise. If you would like to gently tone your body, strengthen your muscles, boost your immune system and sustain good health, then Wu Tao is for you.
'Over 60's' class Wednesday mornings 10.30 - 12.00am
Adult beginners class Wednesday afternoons 1.00 - 2.30pm.
