Bodywise Workshop 23.1.11

Strength    Determination      Confidence

I would like dedicate this workshop and collective positive energy to my friend Shade who is in hospital with a worrying tumour in her abdomen. Born with hole in her heart and other problems needing major surgery she was one of the bravest babies ever. She has grown to be the most inspiring 12 year old with wonderful spirit humour and deep intelligence. It seems so unfair that she has to be brave once again. She will though without a doubt. I hope the strength determination and confidence shared in our practice this morning will generate enough healing energy to reach her on the top floor of UCH.

Wishing you all the love in the world Shade
