A human being develops from a natural order. This natural order is identical to the gradual evolutionary emergent process which we name as the various kingdoms - material, vegetal and animal etc. We contain elements, vestiges, aspects of both simple and complex neurology and physiological adaptations from these lower kingdoms. We mirror this unfolding as we go through gestation, and contain what has gone before. We emerge into this life as horizontal creatures, but develop vertically so to speak, as we climb out of our helplessness and emerge as babies, children, teenagers, adults and so on. We both allegorically and literally go through rites of passage as we meet our particular ceilings, or walls where we are challenged to grow and go further. Inside us we have this epigenetic urge to rise up and emerge into our full potential.

The very properties that make us unconsciously rise up and emerge into our greatness, also provides us with resources that give us the potential to have a intimate relationship with our inner self - the inner part which makes us move upward, to reach for the heavens – our Source. Through our somatic lives, and engaging in this world, our inner life can begin to guide us, teach us and give us the possibility to truly excel and find our full potential; allowing us to fulfill our purpose as well as opening up a deep, rich relationship with the Great Life.

As humans, we are equipped to lead both an inner and outer life. When these two are harmonious, they become one, so that our outer actions, thoughts and feelings are guided by our inner Self. This is the essence of being human. The Being Human workshop will enable you to:

• Recognize the forces that impact your life
• Adopt a new language and understanding of these elements to help you in life, relationships and health
• Make peace and reconcile with your and others past history
• Discover the five essential qualities that facilitate change
• Enhance and enrich your relationships - with the Divine, with partners, with one's children and with others.
• Find meaning, value and joy in everyday life, and a sense of your purpose

We provide workshops for individuals seeking a new sense of connection to themselves and their purpose, as well as for health care professionals who wish to augment their existing protocols with a new approach to the resolution of their clients' dysfunction.

This page also names the individual workshops that we provide for those seeking an understanding and experience of the elements that create us, and which exert their influence upon us. These workshops serve not only the population of health care practitioners but are invaluable for all walks of life. They shape us into a human template, allowing us to see our hierarchical nature. The template could be seen as a human prototype, upon which individuals can clothe themselves with moral, ethical, religious and spiritual models. We provide the environment to safely experience the forces that reside within and around us, and give an opportunity to see how these elements can support us, By providing a set of tools to support each person, we enable people to become more whole and complete, wide and expansive, visionary and ennobled. These experiential workshops will stand as an exemplary foundation to a more creative, fulfilled and productive life.

All of our workshops have a common purpose - to bring into awareness the existence of the life forces . These forces are both ordinary (those that exist within and around us) and Holy, and guide and accompany us on our journey through life. All of these forces originate from the Source - the Divine - and form a hierarchical relationship and order. Recognizing and understanding the interaction, interdependency, dynamic and flow of these forces in all areas of life will support our development as human beings. However, one or more of these forces may, at times, become of"out of order" or dominant. When this happens, our lives become disrupted and/or out of balance which directly effects our wellbeing. Aligning ourselves with the Divine, and understanding the relationship of these forces and their actions allows us as humans to make conscious choices that can change the direction of our lives.

Solihin and Alicia Thom and Alexander ter Horst's book Being Human: exploring the forces that shape us and awaken an inner life carries a full explanation of the Human Template Model, and was published six years ago, with several reprints over the years. It is available on Amazon or direct from us. NB [A recent review of the book]
