SHEN Workshops
Introduction
SHEN workshops are designed to bring immediate, positive and permanent benefits. Whether you want deep therapeutic work for healing or you want simple de-stressing, there is a workshop to suit your needs.
Workshops allow people receive intensive series of SHEN treatments over a short period of time. When treatments are received close together like this, the effectiveness of each treatment is increased. Because of this, the results people see from taking SHEN workshops can be dramatic. Taking a workshop is a great way of taking some time out of our daily lives, focusing on healing and seeing great results in a short time.
SHEN workshops can help eliminate the underlying cause of physical and emotional pain. It is extremely powerful if you need to de-stress or lift yourself from a depressive or negative phase in your life.
Workshop Description
Workshops are designed to impart to people an understanding of how and why events in our lives affect us and how experiences with painful memories can cause negative behaviour patterns, negative feelings and physical ailments.
In a workshop people receive consecutive treatments of SHEN therapy. As the workshop progresses, different emotion centres and areas in the body are focuses on. The treatments you receive can also be tailored to your individual needs. Over the course of the workshop, you will reach deeper and deeper layers of healing.
People are given SHEN techniques so they are able to work on themselves, friends and family. Practicing SHEN during the workshop increases a person’s sensitivity to the biofield and provides a real insight into how emotion affects us and our bodies.
Workshops vary in intensity and focus. The SHEN centre can give you advise as to which is the most suitable workshop for you.
Workshops are mostly practical. The time devoted to seminars will vary depending on the focus of the workshops.
Many people need the continuity and safe environment of the workshop to reach deep healing.
Understanding the way life has affected you and taking time out to assess yourself, your life and your relationships can be life-changing. Understanding yourself is key to making anything happen in your life. You can be empowered in your life instead of being driven or reacting to your emotions and feelings.
You will learn how to give SHEN so you can work on yourself, friends or family after the workshop.
The following are some areas where people have seen improvements:
| Migrane | Anxiety |
| Depression | Panic Attacks |
| Grief | Eating Disorders |
| Cronic Pain | Changing behavior patterns |
| Cronic Fatigue | Nightmares |
| Sexual abuse | Panic Attacks |
| Emotional/Physical Abuse | Irritable bowel syndrome |
| Menstural distress | Physical injury |
| Improved relationships | Blocked sexual feelings |
| Improved reactions to situations, people and events | |
SHEN workshops are for everybody.
The continuity of the workshops have proved very beneficial and productive for anyone wanting a lot of SHEN in a short space of time.
Some attend to get into and clear deeper layers of pain that require continuity of sessions, some because they want to know a little more and to learn more about SHEN.
Although the workshops are part of the prerequisite for practitioner training, if you are not interested in training that is not a problem many take workshops for themselves.
The kinds of people who have taken workshops has varied from people who have never experienced any other healing therapies to doctors, psychologists and alternative medicine practitioners. There is no type or particular group who attends. Some people attend for de-stressing from a busy time in their lives. Other people want to heal deep emotional hurt. The one thing everyone has in common is they are not happy to live their being influenced by their fear, anger, tension, insecurities or whatever it may be that’s holding them back or causing pain.

Workshop Testimonials
My recent Shen Workshop was a very rewarding and positive experience. After my mind finally allowed itself to let go I was truly surprised at how my body responded to the treatments. I also really enjoyed giving Shen to help others on their own journey. Deirdre is an excellent teacher who creates a very warm, safe and supportive space for letting go. Since the workshop I am allowing myself to think less and feel more. I am really grateful to have found Shen and am already looking forward to my next Workshop! Thanks Deirdre for all your encouragement and support.

“I can hardly begin to describe how I feel after the SHEN workshop last week. It was an amazing experience, and truly beautiful. The space created was really supportive and safe, and just perfect for growth and letting go. I have to say that life will never be the same again!
I’ve tried quite a lot of different techniques for emotional releasing work in the past, but none have resolved at the core; I used to feel better but the issue was still present. After the SHEN, however, I have a feeling of completion and issues have fallen away as though their foundations have finally been removed rather than chipping away at the brickwork.
Most noticeable is that my feelings and responses to things have changed. Many situations that would normally irritate me or make me feel anxious don’t, and it’s strange when that emotion just doesn’t come because I’m so used to it, and if something does annoy me now, the feeling is far less intense and fleeting whereas before it would linger on.
I feel tremendously better in myself, and am discovering this amazing feeling which must be happiness!
I also have more energy and feel more peaceful. Prior to the workshop I experienced low level anxiety for years, probably for as long as I remember, but now I know life is OK, easier and a space has opened up for more ‘positive’ emotions. This is already effecting my relationships, and I can’t stop being amazed by it all! I also feel more present and as though I’m finally here living my life instead of being on the outside watching, and it’s a lot more FUN!.
Since the last SHEN workshop, things are just getting better here. The SHEN workshop seems to have shifted stuff which has allowed me to get moving again, and pretty fast. I’ve not been working for a while but since coming back I’ve found my drive again and it only took me two days to find a job and be offered it.”

“I attended a 5-day SHEN therapy workshop as I was intrigued by the apparent mix of old fashioned hands-on healing and modern scientific investigation that addresses health through emotional well-being.
The initial sessions were very relaxing as gradually I could feel deeply held emotions bubbling up towards the surface. I felt lighter once these had been cleared and since then my emotional life has become much more fluid and open. Having suffered from some degree of anxiety or depression for most of my adult life it is great to be finally rid of these debilitating feelings and to experience a renewed sense of self-worth and confidence.
I have found SHEN therapy workshops to be a safe and powerful way of working with emotional issues (conscious or otherwise) that affect my life, freeing up my energies and broadening my experience.”

My name is Joe and after struggling with some form of depression, which was causing much emotional pain in my life and work, I was introduced to SHEN.
I was skeptical at first but after and initial session I was amazed at the results.
Some of the tension and frustration seemed to clear. Then after I attended a five-day workshop I felt much lighter and more at peace with myself. The gentle therapy helped me to revisit and heal some emotional trauma that was linked to experiences in my childhood. Facing the pain of my past under the caring encouragement of the therapist brought up much emotion and above all helped me to release the tears that were often bottled up from years of “crying on the inside”.
Reflecting on the process of SHEN I feel that the experience for me was spiritual and graced with the healing power of God. Something I read recently by Thomas Keating, a famous Cistercian monk, writing about contemplative prayer expresses something of what SHEN is to me. Referring to Christ as the “Divine Therapist: he writes, “Through this profoundly psycho-spiritual process, the Spirit works back through our perosnal life history …… We access each level until we come to the bottom where the real source of most of our emotional problems actually is, the fragility of early childhood.”
The end result is that I feel better and enjoy my life and work in a way I never did before. The quality of my relationships seem more sincere and I feel a greater emotional strength in my life and work. I am convinced that SHEN is a very accessable therapy that can bring almost instant healing to life.
Best wishes for you and your work.
God Bless.
Joe.
