Ancient Egypt

The Early Years

Circa 3150 to 1350 BCE

Actually Egyptian civilisation goes back to about 5500BCE but the film picks up the story in 3150BCE with the unification of the upper and lower kingdoms into one outfit and the establishment of a capital at what later became Memphis. Still a long time ago.

The period covers the periods of the Old (Circa 2686-2181 BCE) and Middle (Circa 2055-1650 BCE) Kingdoms and the Dark age that occurred between them.

The Pyramid building period lasted about 300 years (Circa 2630-2345 BCE) not long in terms of Egyptian history. Pyramids may have gone out of fashion because building them was bankrupting the country.

Huna Workshop – Marcus West

Firstly; What is Huna ?

Huna is a powerful and transforming system of practices, teachings, philosophy , energy work and more . The word Huna means, among other things "secret" and has only been used as the name of this spiritual framework in Modern times. The Word Kahuna can mean keeper of the Secret but is more often defined as expert and could refer to an expert in any field. Huna is not a religion at all it is a remarkably freeing experience that expresses it self in every moment and action of life with great joy. The psychological insights alone are certainly among the most complete , effective and profound existing on this planet today .Practicing Huna can lead to a great joy and emotional strength and an awareness of the nurturing nature of the Earth. over time Huna practice can lead to an amazing experience of wholeness and connection that becomes over time , your most natural state of mind and awareness.

Max Freedom Long discovered, named and developed the modern and Public knowledge of what we Call Huna through an extensive study and exploration of The Ancient Hawaiian language and root meanings of the words. as well as seeking answers form People in Hawaii uncovering core beliefs and practices and an effective system for spiritual development on all levels. Today these practices include his information the results of decades of testing theories and the information from some of those who preserved teachings over the many years that the indigenous religion and spirituality of Hawaii was under attack and forbidden.

About the Workshop

"Huna is a psychological/spiritual system from Hawai'i. It suggests we can usefully describe ourselves as having 3 minds: 1) the conscious mind, which is the everyday awareness we habitually live our lives through; 2) The inner mind, or unconscious mind, which is in charge of many body-related and other functions including memory, sensing our environment, metabolism, digestion, physical health, the emotions; 3) The Higher Mind or Higher Self, the part of us that connects to higher realms.

Many of us spend most of our time with our attention focused in our conscious mind, which is okay, but when our awareness is more balanced across the three minds, we find ourselves with a richer connection to our inner world and to the spiritual dimension of life - we are firing on 3 cylinders rather than 1, and this manifests through such things as our intuition increasing, synchronicity in our lives, better physical, mental and emotional health, and an increased sense of spiritual connectedness.

In this workshop I will be explaining more about the properties of these minds, and I will be leading a powerful guided meditation to increase our rapport with them and to make this increased rapport permanently available. To assist with the process of connecting with the Higher Self I will also be doing some Hawai'ian chants."

The Celtic Eldorado

The Gold of Ireland and its place in Celtic History & Mythology

The tradition of abundant gold also survives in the image of the Leprechaun and his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Leprechauns are said to be very rich, having much buried treasure. They like to hide their gold in secret locations which can only be revealed if a person were to capture and interrogate a leprechaun for his money.

In Celtic Mythology the Tuatha de Danaan, (Beautiful People), who are said to represent the first Celtic migration (circa 1000BCE), burnt their boats of gold and silver on their arrival on the shores of Erin (Ireland) because there was a greater wealth to be had. Although this story functions symbolically at many level it looks like there was plenty of gold about.
