EFS WORKSHOPs, Materials

Participatory and practical workshops are offered by the Emotional Freedom Service (EFS) to help you become whole by healing from emotional distress, integrating various parts of yourself in a harmonious way, releasing excessive stress, and moving towards a body-mind-spirit wholeness by opening to the divine within and outside of us. For workshop requests and enquiries, email efs@antidemalta.org or phone Tony on 7932 6725.  This page below is for tools and documents of interest to participants at these workshops - or to any other persons.  There are tools and resources relating to each Life Practice that you may wish to download from here.
    Some persons need to become more whole psychologically and emotionally by meeting their "deficiency-needs" and releasing emotional distress and building resilience, becoming able to experience joy and openness.  Some persons want to become more whole by meeting their "being-needs" and developing their potential.  Some persons want to become more whole by sometimes transcending their own limited separate self.  This range of practices below covers all these types of needs.
