1987 at the Findhorn Foundation and
Community I was honored to present a series of workshops with nine other
presenters. Some of the presenters were Sir George Trevelyan, Sun Bear and
others who may now be deceased or faded into obscurity. The title was 'The
Spirit of Healing', all ten of us had problems getting to the center, I had a
car smash a few weeks prior and my case was lost by baggage control and went to
Belgium and I had to borrow money to buy clothes for the week, others had
similar problems. Tim Wheater lost some of his flutes, a broken arm and
hit by a car delayed some of the others.
One of my presentations was on pre-life
agreements and three couples who were childless came for a private session to
see if there was a child waiting for them. I had six witnesses to the
sessions and follow up notes. These couples had been trying for a child
for five and three years. Two out of three conceived as per the imagery of the sessions
(we did two more). One couple from Berlin Berlin
As soon as I arrived at the first
workshop in November of that year I asked if I could see the Berlin Wall. We went for dinner with the group and then
went to the American Sector. I stood on
the viewing platform and looked across with the aid of binoculars. A man on the other side was looking at me
with binoculars, I waved he looked shocked, eventually he looked again, I
waved, after a while he smiled and wiggled his little finger. This was in 1987.
A man at the at the workshop bet a
million Deutschmark that the wall would never come down as I had shared I felt
it would be soon.
The wall came down in November 1989; I
never got my million Deutschmark. I only did the summer workshop of that year
because of the Berlin Wall event.
In 1990 and in November we got the first
East German workshop visitors. One of
them was a sprightly 87 years young Gestalt Therapist named Willie Kern. Gestalt was brought to birth by Laura and
Fritz Perls with Paul Goodman in the 1940’s and 50’s. Willie was a dear lovely soul and he lived
almost on top of the wall. When the wall
came down he had a time of adjustment.
On a Monday or Tuesday evenings at 19.30
– 21.00 hrs I used to do a phone in as a follow up after workshops or just a
phone in for any matters workshop or not.
Willie phoned and said he had painted the wall on his window as he could
not sleep or get his head around the wall not being there. We worked with imagery and after several
sessions more he phoned one night and said with glee ‘Goff(that’s what he
called me) I have good news, I have removed one brick from the painting and am
peeping through the hole’, we shared in the joy.
About five phone ins later he had
removed the wall from his window. He never phoned again after a lovely farewell
and each blessing one another----maybe we all have walls in our mind
windows----and maybe its all in the mind.

I had the great honor of sharing a bedroom for a week with the Great Sir George Trevelyan.

Many of us have 'hands'that hold on tight to patterns and experiences that no longer serves us, although we think they do. Shack
