Feel well and be well…with Keith Ashton (a workshop!)

Workshops are not all about paper and pens and powerpoint. At least not any that The Hopsack is getting involved with. We have over the years heard many a good thing about Keith Ashton (and an introductory interview is just around the corner!) over the past few years. His reputation as head of TCM (traditional chinese medicine) at IINH (the Irish Institute of Nutrition and Health, Ireland’s most valuable breeding ground for good nutritional threrapists) along with practices in London, Brighton and Ireland tells us something of his worth as a practioner and teacher.

Over the weekend of February 6th and 7th Keith will present some of the fundamental principles of TCM that will afford all who attend a greater understanding of the mechanisms of heatlh and disease in the human body.

On day 1, in a workshop entitled ‘Vitality and Optimum Health’, Keith will take us through 4 core elements: protectors (the immune system), invaders (the causes of health problems), messengers (the symptoms) and healers (the cures). This day aims to equip us with tools to identify potential health issues and act on them before they cause larger problems.

Day 2 will consist of an exciting look into the connection between emotion health and that of our internal organs (simplistic? us?!). This field, known in western terms as ‘Mind Body Medicine’ is an emerging field and one that is attracting great interest from the conventional western medical researchers. It holds great potential for unlocking the cause behind the most persistent and complex health problems. But this system, owing to its human-centric focus, is simple to grasp if we rely on our instincts.

Keith will lead a path through this enlightening area, and leave us with a greater scope for managing our own health and that of our families.

We hope you will consider joining us for this one-off event (that said, Keith hopes to be back for further workshops with The Hopsack in May), but for now all you have to do to book your place is call The Hopsack on 01-4960399 or email us! This event is limited to 25 places so book early to avoid any resultant disappointment (no pressure). Oh yes, almost forgot the cost – 75euro for one day or 90euro for both days and includes refreshments and snacks (so bring a packed lunch, or call The Hopsack for advice on where to eat locally). Just to recap on the dates it’s February 6th and 7th – both days from 10-5. The event will be taking place in Leinster Cricket Club (this is subject to change but will most definitely be held locally in the vicinity of Rathmnines. See you there!
