The Level 1-4 Workshops of Module I herald the beginning of a fascinating journey which will take the participants through an intensive training for the enhancement and expansion of personal FREEDOM. The purpose of MA-URI® is to give people of today a chance to fulfil their Destinies and to live their Dreams. Within the framework of the Training Programme every training level can be explored as a step or passage into new realities, into a deeper under- standing and realisation of WHO you are and WHAT your purpose in life is. Each step offers an opportunity to refine and expand your awareness of self and to attune yourself to the world around you. This is done through a combination of DANCE, MASSAGE and HUNA Training. Each step is designed to stir within you the wealth of understanding and knowledge you hold, so that you may begin to breathe and move to the rhythm of that knowledge; so that you may begin to contribute to the World and make a difference.



Throughout the basic training of levels 1-4 (Module I) the main focus is on MOVEMENT and on intensive DANCE training. One of the many purposes of this dance training is to facilitate the shift in students away from habitual patterns of movement determined by cultural and individual codes or restrictions. Through the combination of movement and the development of increased awareness and focus, correct placement of the body and new patterns of breath, the student will learn to develop physical strength, rhythm, fluidity and flexibility within their physical realities. The first stages in self-discipline (i.e. where YOU become the disciple of your own High Self), are developed here and the principles concerned with gaining mastery of your physical realities are taught and practiced.

Emphasis is put on exploring the many expressions of dynamic interaction between masculine and feminine energies - something that is at the very core of MA-URI®. In their powerful interaction lie one of the most important keys to a successful and passionate journey through life. Also here at beginner level this emphasis serves to enhance vibrant personal growth and to provide an ever- expanding experience of self and of MA-URI®.

In terms of massage training students will be taught the basic MA-URI® techniques for a full body massage. One purpose of introducing some of the basic massage techniques at this early level of the training is to bring students in contact with their own body, so that they may begin to understand, honour, heal and give strength to their own body. Another purpose is to enable students to learn progressively and to learn well the correct basic techniques, movement patterns and principles of MA-URI® massage as this basic massage form constitutes the foundation of the more advanced techniques and principles of MA-URI® Bodywork.

In the Module I workshops basic principles of MA-URI® HUNA are introduced and applied to every activity and focus as keys to personal growth, empowerment and healing and as tools to gaining a deeper understanding of what MA-URI® is. Students are encouraged to look deep within themselves for answers to the fundamental questions, WHO am I, WHAT am I, WHERE do I come from and Where am I going? Guided meditations are used to explore the boundaries of habit, beliefs and expectations. They are used also to identify the state of health, happiness and success in you life, so that your inner nature, your true strengths and abilities may begin to unfold.

We will be looking forward to welcoming you into a world of magic and great joy!

KIA ORA!
