Frank Albrecht will be at Yoga Ananda Holistic Centre to give a weekend workshop entitled “Life Processes – the Principles of Life”. This weekend course will give you the knowledge how to approach and support a therapy for any kind of health problem. The material you learn will help you to gain responsibility towards your health and the speed of your ageing process. How the physical, energetic and spiritual levels of our existence are interrelated… The course fee includes free talk on Friday evening 9th April introducing the topic of the “Processes of Life”.


Once upon a time there was a society that forgot the meaning of divine unity through body, mind and soul. They forgot the universal laws about life, the true meaning of health, and they forgot that disease as such does not exist. They started to believe in sicknesses, in “conditions”, and started to accept that they have an illness and that they need to go to specialists. They had forgotten that god created life simple and that all life on earth followed the same universal laws. They gave all their responsibility away, ate toxic food and forgot the sacredness of life which is reflected in the way we deal with our land and our bodies. They also did forgot how to create a living space that can heal them, so they lived in houses that made things even worse. We do not have to be that way !!!! … understand the divine laws and principles of life so you can heal yourself in any given situation.


In our time of transformation, old structures, patterns and believe systems are destroyed to make space for the light of divine consciousness to manifest in all areas of life. Traditional and conservative understanding of Health and Disease also falls apart and needs to be replaced like all other rigid forms in life and society. The divine consciousness can lead us to a comprehension that gives light to total healing, rejuvenation and possibilities of longevity that have not been known in past decades. Let this course be an inspiration to deepen your insight that you can heal yourself from any disease and even go further to reverse the decay of the body. Ancient wisdom combined with contemporary holistic research will give you a completely new picture on health and the choices you can make to successfully deal with your environment, nutrition as well as increasing your life energy.

About Frank Albrecht

Frank Albrecht was born in Munich and lives in Ireland since 2000. He works as Holistic Health Researcher and undertakes biophysical research to discover the underlying principles of human health and disease. In contrary to conventional medicine, his focus is not the study of diseases but the detailed comprehension of health and the conditions that lead towards health. He believes that incurable diseases do not exist. It is our misunderstanding about the biochemical and biophysical aspects of the human system that prevent the cure of serious illnesses. He had a profound experience at the age of 28, when he met two German alternative scientists that were able to explain the ageing process and the cause for degenerative diseases in detail to him. During these last 12 years since he started to study their material and applied this knowledge in his own life, he could not perceive visible signs of ageing or decay on his body. Spiritual practice and purification strongly increased his perception of the life giving energy in natural food and also refined his awareness of both destructive and healing energies that can be prevalent in houses. He considers that personal experience is the only source of true knowledge and the best verification about any theoretical teachings. Frank also works as a Feng Shui consultant, Dowser, Bio-Resonance practitioner and Nutritional consultant. His websites are: www.thelife.ie, www.stopageing.com and www.lifeprocesses.org (to be launched later this year).

Martyn Carruthers, the founder of Soulwork systemic coaching to provide professional assistance to people wanting to resolve relationship problems in partnership, teams and families, will teach his Systemic Solutions coach training course at the Kripalu Yoga Centre in Dorking – Surrey. Martyn is author of an article entitled Systemic Solutions and Relationship Yoga, where he where uses Yoga concepts to introduce a Relationship Yoga.

Martyn Carruthers will be joining Kripalu Centre throughout the upcoming year teaching his Systemic Solutions coach training course. The first two weekends in September will be the first of these workshops, with more to follow later in the year.

How many people cannot answer the question “What do you want?” clearly. Many people are so entangled in relationships that they cannot focus on personal goals. In this first segment of systemic coach training you can learn how to recognize many types of relationship entanglements and how to start clarifying those entanglements.

After clarification, most people can better discuss their goals, and plans for achieving their goals. For some people, this is all the systemic coaching they need to move ahead in their lives. For others, systemic diagnosis provides a summary of which relationships need what sort of attention, which forms a basis for a relationship coaching plan. And for a few, systemic diagnosis can show that you would be wise to refer them to other helping professionals.

Systems 1 Coach Training is a foundation for coaching people to resolve relationship difficulties. You can apply these skills at home, in education, therapy or business, and you can balance excellence at work with harmony at home as you learn to use systemic coaching skills to:

1. Develop clear relationships
2. Remain flexible in times of crisis and change
3. Develop focused action plans to fulfill well-defined goals
4. Develop essential coaching and authentic leadership skills
5. Improve your performance and satisfaction as you enhance your strengths

This workshop can be taken as a stand alone workshop or as the first segment of the complete Systemic Solutions taught by Martyn. If you enroll for both systems 1 & 2 simultaneously, the cost for the two weekends will be reduced to £240.

Event: Systemic Solutions with Martyn Carruthers – Systems 1: Relationships
