Open Your Heart, Living From the Heart, Letting Love in Workshops

I run many workshops all year long in places all around the world. There are afternoon workshops, 1 day, 2 day, 3 day and week long workshops. All the workshops are arranged to help you come into your truth and feel confident and energised again. They are person-centred and will meet you where you are and help you to realise that “You can do it” whatever “it” is. If you look on the dates page it will tell you when, where and how much the workshops are.

"Thank you for the wonderful workshop. I have no words to describe how I felt, it was wonderful, inspiring, I felt bathed into the ocean of love. Your loving words dived straight into my heart, melting it away. It was indeed one of the happiest days in my life: for a long time I had wanted to feel much much love like I had never felt before and you made that happen, I put the wish out to the universe and you turned up! that must confirm to you that you deserve the title of Love Goddess. Everybody's heart was so open and pouring out its beautiful beams onto everybody else. I used to think that I was the only one to need love so much, well I am glad to have realised that the whole humanity probably does, some are just more aware than others. It was lovely to meet you, I am so grateful that I did, and you will see me again, that's for sure. Thanks for being a love beam in this world, you are very special and very blessed. Keep doing the wonderful precious work that you do, you are contributing enormously to making this world a much more 'awaken' and loving place and I want to thank you for that."

"I recently attended one of Cate’s one day workshops, and although I hoped for a special experience, I was truly amazed at how special the resulting experience turned out to be. Cate brings a wealth of life experience – with both stories of magic and suffering – and a big heart, through which she projects genuine care and empathy for her students. The abundance of humour and playfulness that emanates from her also, makes her energy infectious and irresistible. Through the various exercises and dance Cate worked to draw us together as a group, to draw us out of our heads and into our hearts, and to look honestly at our blocks to feeling more love – our fears and hurts -yet beautifully none of these were ever made public. We only shared them in the various pairings (pairings chosen by ourselves), and were gently encouraged only to share as much or as little as we were comfortable to do. It seemed that in very little time we became closer and more relaxed as a group and as our willingness to be acting from our hearts grew, the universal Love energy (that Cate was willing us to experience) just seemed to become more and more tangible. And fun! boy how much fun we had in our dancing and sharing. For me Cate is a pioneer (one of many) doing relatively unique work, in a very special style. I would recommend to most everyone to have a taste of her heart warming workshops. And don’t be surprised if you feel some healing take place!! – I did!"

"Cate's workshop, helped me to get in touch with, and express, that beautiful part of myself that I forgot even existed. After taking part in Cate's workshop I felt light, beautiful and free. I never thought i could shed my inhibitions and let out the playful, sexy side of me so quickly, especially as i didn't even know she was there, but Cate made it easy."

These are workshops to help you to open up, heal your heart, connect to your inner wisdom and allow yourself to be open to possibilities again. Wherever you are feeling stuck in your life these workshops will help you to make a shift. It could be that you are successful in your work life but do not know how to soften and allow a partner into your life. It could be that you feel lost and want a deeper connection to your inner world. It could be that you are aware that in some areas you are lacking confidence and you would like to regain some get up and go. In whatever area in your life that you would like help with a shift you can come on a workshop and make a shift.

On these workshops you will learn how to open your heart, how to feel safe being open, how to listen to your inner self and create a relationship with your inner self. You will be encouraged to open in a way that is right for you and you will be guided to feel your connection with your heart and learn how to be open to receiving your wonderful life.

On these workshops you will be take on a journey to connect with your heart and your deepest self. You will be guided to listen to your truth and your intuition. You may find that new ideas come to and wonderful surprises appear. This will happen through many different exercises including visualisation, play, drawing, writing and working with deep questions.

One of the keys of the workshops is teaching people how to receive. Many times our deep wishes are answered but through being afraid or blocked we can push away what we really want. On these workshops you will be taught how to have clear boundaries and how to open up in a way that is right for you.

Once you know how to open and focus your energy on what you really want you may find the courage to live your best life.

I run one day, two day and one-week workshops and also do regular small talks. All will help you to take the next step and apply what you want in your life.



All these workshops are about coming into relationship with yourself. Once you are in relationship with yourself you then can create the life you really want. Although there may be different exercises on different workshops the essence is the same-to bring you in to yourself and help you to create or manifest what you really want in your life.

 


 

One day workshops

These are one day workshops to come in connecting with your heart, to be in relationship with yourself and to love who you are. This is a day to play, to become soft, to write, draw and ask questions of yourself coming into deeper knowledge of who you are.

Two day workshops

Two day workshops are a lovely deep swim for the soul into your heart and into the depth of who you are. You will play, visualise, and connect deeply with yourself. You will start to realise who you are and what gifts you have to offer.

One week workshops

A deepening of connection with your heart and your soul. Taking a week long retreat is a beautiful way of coming into your creative heart space finding your sense of self and who you really are. You will look at your values, what matters to you and you will have a week long creative adventure into art, writing, play, improvisation, fun and visualisation.

Cate Mackenzie as a workshop leader

I love workshops and am at home doing so. I trained to be a workshop leader at Manchester Metropolitan University between 1993 and 1995 training in all the arts, art, drama, dance, writing and music and I have worked and continue to work with all kinds of different groups from people with learning disabilities and mental health problems to women’s groups and long term unemployed. I took many courses in how you use the arts to help people to express themselves, from Person Centred Expressive Therapy, Forum Theatre, Jabadeo, Movement therapy and Five Rhythms and also trained as a Teacher and a Life Coach. My teaching in Community settings started to open and heal my heart and I felt that there were perhaps others who might appreciate creative heart workshops to help heal the heart. From 1998 I have run “Open Your Heart” workshops working for the Mind Body Spirit Festival, Alternatives, The College of Psychic Studies, Cortijo Romero, Mind Body Soul Festival and The Alchemy Centre. I have now worked with many, many people and seen their lives grow in new and amazing ways. I believe that if you can connect to your heart you can be present in your own life. Once you are present and centred you can begin to own all of who you are and what your gifts are. Once you know who you are you can also know (or really admit to) your deep wishes. From here you can connect to feelings of these wishes and start to realise their possibility. And from here is a short step into the life of your dreams. Why not come on a workshop and make a wish.
