ABOUT THE NEW 'MA-URI® E-2 TRAINING'

WHY THIS NEW TRAINING OPTION?
The Institute is in the process of developing this new alternative to students with Module 1 training because
  • there are so many good students who are passionate about MA-URI and wish to continue their MA-URI Training in spite of having to deal with many different obstacles and having to face severe challenges;
  • there are so many good students who wish to deepen and expand their relationship with MA-URI and who wish to improve their quality of life and develop greater life skills through a MA-URI approach;
  • there are so many good students who wish to learn how to address emotional issues and heal memories of the past;
  • there are so many good students who wish to experience the many magical moments and gifts of MA-URI as they unfold in the higher levels of the training programme. AND
  • there are so many good students who wish to qualify for a Student Practice License, so they can begin to explore the rewarding experience of helping others help themselves through a MA-URI approach to Life, Health and Healing.
THAT is WHY the Institute is offering this new E-2 Training option!

MEETING THE NEEDS
To remedy the situation and help more students continue their training in MA-URI, the Institute decided last year to make an effort to accommodate as many of the needs presented to us by Module 1 students from Poland and Hungary as we can, namely by
  • creating a Training Programme that can be run in Europe - this cuts out the expensive flight ticket to NZ and this way it accommodates the need for lower expenditures;
  • creating a Training Programme that divides the training up in 2 x 2 weeks - which accommodates the need for shorter time periods spent away from home/job;
  • offering translator+supervisor service - this takes away the requirement of English skills that the NZ Module 2 training operates with and accommodates the needs of non-English speaking students; and finally
  • choosing workshop venues that are less challenging than the Marae setting based in a foreign culture in a far way country - thus accommodating the needs for a more familiar and less challenging environment.

Institute is happy to be making these changes in order to meet the needs of many students and to clear away many of the obstacles that have prevented students from continuing their training. The Institute hopes that this new E-2 Training will be welcomed by all those who have brought their difficulties and worries to our attention.

WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?
The MA-URI E-2 TRAINING in 2010 will be for Module 1 students from Poland and Hungary!

It will be available for students of these two countries with a training level of Module 1 including those who have participated in W.O. + Clinic intro. workshops in 2007 and 2009 and specifically for those
  • who cannot leave their young children for 4 weeks;
  • who cannot get time off from work for a longer period than 2 weeks at a time within the same year;
  • who do not speak or understand enough English to attend the non-translation workshops of Module 2. Furthermore, this training will be available for those
  • who have financial difficulties and cannot afford the NZ Training+ flight costs.
  • And finally, the E-2 Training will be for students who for different reasons are reluctant to travel too far away from their home and country for the time period of a whole month.
The E-2 Training is for these students! Blessed be their hopes and dreams. May those hopes and dreams never fade away or be forgotten! Kia Ora!

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE E-2 TRAINING IN EUROPE

In terms of the E-2 Training we are looking at creating a shamanic type of focus where emphasis will be on the students developing their skills as PATHFINDERS and TRAIL MAKERS. Here it is not about the Ocean and a 'navigator' approach to life - that is the focus of the Module 2 in NZ. The E-2 training is about developing connections with the land and with our European Ancestors and their hunter-gatherer traditions. Focus will be on issues like: HOW to sustain life and raise our awareness of the privilege and responsibilities that go hand in hand as we 'walk life'; how to manage resources - inner as well as outer - and be conscious of the CHOICES we make etc. etc. These will be just some of the focuses to explore. To enhance your personal development you will be given a chance also to develop a greater understanding of the effects of your national culture and history - AND MA-URI Principles will be put into practice to create EXPANSION of your beliefs, attitudes and understandings of Life.

Like the Module 2 in NZ, this E-2 training in Europe will concentrate on empowering your emotional and mental development. Amongst many other topics, the E-2 Training will deal with the widespread factors of FEAR and old survival patterns. It will deal with the restrictions imposed by culture and national history and give you a chance to clear the pathway of such baggage in order to gain greater personal FREEDOM. The MA-URI Dances and massage sessions will be dedicated to such work. Extended techni-ques and new, deeper understandings of the dances and the massage will be taught. So, it is a truly intense and FULL workshop we are offering you. And just to round off this list of topics and focuses, this training will be designed to teach you how to pursue your dreams and become successful in Life here and NOW.

CERTIFICATION
All participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance at the Poroporoaki of the Part 2 workshop. Those of you who wish to pursue a dream of opening a part-time clinic practice will be offered basic training in this and evaluated for such qualifications. On successful participation in both Parts of this training in 2010 those student who have qualified for a 'Student Practice License' in MA-URI Massage will obtain such License after their Part 2 training. It will be valid for a 2-year practice period.

The purpose of this Student Practice License is to give you opportunities to practice your skills and gain experience in working with other people. For those of you who discover a PASSION for the Healing Arts of MA-URI, this practice period of 2 years is designed to help you get ready and qualified for participation in the Kaitinana training of Module 3 - and thus COMPLETE your MA-URI Education!

In order for specially competent students of this E-2 Training to qualify for the Kaitinana training, you need to either HAVE good English already or you need to learn English and reach a level of competence that will enable you to understand all teaching without requiring help from the Tutor or your fellow-students. Furthermore, you need to have been actively and successfully working in a student practice situation and gained sufficient experience in working with other people. Opportunities are waiting - the pathway is laid out before you. Puff, the Magic Dragon, is opening his eyes. What is going to be YOUR next CHOICE of action??!

WHEN WILL THIS TRAINING BE?
26th June to 10th July 2010 - these will be the dates for Part 1 of the E-2 Training.
Arrival: Friday evening 25th June. Workshop starts Saturday morning with Powhiri at 9:00.
Departure: Saturday 10th July noon, i.e. after breakfast, cleaning up duties and Poroporoaki. Approx. time of departure: 12:00 noon.

11th Sept. to 25th Sept. 2010 - will be the dates for the Part 2 of the E-2 Training.
Arrival: Friday evening 10th Sept. Workshop starts Saturday morning with Powhiri at 9:00.
Departure: Saturday 25th Sept. noon, i.e. after breakfast, cleaning up duties and Poroporoaki. Approx. time of departure: 12:00 noon.

DEADLINE for application will be May 1st. You CAN send in your application as soon as you have sorted out all matters relating to your participation in this training. Confirmation that you have obtained a place in this training will be sent to you soon after we have received and processed your application.

HOW MUCH IS THIS TRAINING GOING TO COST?
Workshop Price for Part 1 and Part 2 will be 2.000 Euro in all, i.e. 1.000 Euro for each Part.
This price includes all tuition and training, hire of workshop venue and payment of translator- supervisor. It does not include meal costs.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: In MA-URI it is not enough to just be present at the workshop and then leave it up to MA-URI, the teachers or the environment of the venue to deliver the input and inspiration - OR expect to be entertained and kept busy in dance and massage sessions! In this training, what matters is the realization that in order to get full value for your money invested in this MA-URI training, THAT can only be achieved
  • by getting FULLY and ACTIVELY INVOLVED in the LEARNING process every second of every day of the workshop period. It can only be achieved
  • by constantly taking the initiative to making the necessary CHANGES in attitudes, behavior patterns and in expectations. And it can only be achieved
  • by never failing to take the initiative when it comes to applying the Principles and clearing away the limitations defined by the mind or your emotions!


THAT'S how we gain the full value of whatever workshop or LIFE situation we choose to invest in!! KIA KAHA!
With a passionate heart that accepts no shortcuts,
But longs for expansion and deeper connections,
We look at the Night Sky and feel truly blessed
To have that many 'Eyes of the Gods' watch over us
And twinkle in never-ending acceptance of our mistakes and happy efforts!

And as we pay tribute to the Teachings of the Ancient Ones,
And hold the Sweetness of Spirit o MA-URI close to our hearts,
We honour the Wisdom of Jeshua,
And wish you and your family a truly blessed New Year.
KIA ORA, indeed, KIA ORA!

Looking forward to seeing you on 26th June 2010!
