GRAIL LIFE PRESENTATIONS & WORKSHOPS
Here is a sampling of lectures and workshops titles presented in the beautiful lakeside setting of our Great Hall. All presentations are included in your journey at Grail Springs. Grail Life presentations are insightful, fun and inspirational allowing guests to move deeper in their own sense of exploration, in mind, spirit and even in the kitchen!
The Grail Life Plan
This Sunday night presentation gives our guests the full overview of the Grail Life plan and the seven key elements that make up our programming. From the history of The Grail through to our pH balance approach to diet and why we do what we do.
Dimensions of Wellness
Consisting of the physical, emotional, occupational, psychosocial, spiritual and intellectual dimensions, guests will learn to assess and intuit their own levels of balance and wellness.
The Four Agreements
Based on the famous writing of Don Miguel Ruiz, this workshop will provide a useful outlook on how we can move through life based on four agreements; be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and always do your best. This Toltec work brings charm to our evening and opens up room for discussion about how simplicity can work in our crazy lives.
Meditation
Each day we will practice different forms of meditation so that guests get a wonderful understanding of how easy it can be. From silent meditation to invocation meditation participants will leave the Grail with a new level of comfort surrounding this ancient tool. These lighthearted workshops will allow guests to move through the maze of meditation, learn to quiet the mind with ease and get ready to listen to that inner voice of knowing.
The Living Journal
Each morning a journal exercise will be posted for guests to contemplate and to write about. This activity will allow guests to move deeper into their being and to solve the problems that life is presenting.
The Round Table
This support session will allow guests to share with each other their challenges and their successes as they move deeper into their own dimensions of wellness. This group will be moderated by a Grail staff member for positive interaction. This gathering will allow guests to find their voice, feel supported and nurtured as they journey together.
Cleansing Fire
Journaling activities through the week will focus on letting things go and one of the best ways to find resolution is through the ancient ceremony of the burning of the written word on paper.
Goal setting using Celtic Solar Astrology
This practice, revered and celebrated, goes back thousands of years. We have been left evidence in stone all over the planet showing us how the Mayans, the Egyptians, the Nordics, and other ancient civilizations worshipped the sun, structured their culture, ceremony and architecture around the cycles of the sun. At this fascinating workshop, you will learn how to optimize your goal planning, in conjunction with the natural energy flow of the cycles of the sun and moon.
“the grail is made in the image of ourselves, our mind the vessel, our body the stem...
Drink up and be ruler of thine own destiny.”
~ King Arthur to his Knights of the Round Table
