Tutor
The tutor for all Spineworks courses is myself, Ian Jarvis
I have been practising Spineworks since 1994. I trained with the founder Tarpan Williams on his first courses in the UK. I then worked with Tarpan for several years, helping develop the courses and writing the manuals. We ran many Spineworks courses together in the UK before Tarpan returned to his native Australia. I now take all the Spineworks training in the UK and Europe.
Since then Spineworks has developed a long way since those early days of 1994/5. I have introduced techniques and ideas that I have learnt in my own practice, experience and training - always with the same concepts at their core. Some I have modified (eg made them more gentle), some I have accepted exactly as I learnt them. So the system is still growing and I hope that I can bring even more to it as I continue on my own way.

I also practise Shiatsu and Reiki. I rarely give a Shiatsu treatment nowadays as the focus of my work changed to Spineworks during those years of development and growth. I learnt Reiki in 1992 and was initiated as a Reiki Master in 2002. Reiki is probably the most important thing in my life and it has fed my developments within Spineworks. I am continuing my own training and education both directly in attending other therapy workshops and, indirectly, by personal development and other experiences. In addition to Spineworks I run Reiki training courses for First and Second Degree. I offer First Degree courses for men only as some men prefer to receive this powerful experience within an all-male group. Contact me for further information. |

Trainees
In Greece I am training a few students to become tutors of Spineworks. I will be looking for potential tutors for future UK courses.
Other Work
I am working with Sally Pickard and Gordon Melvin on a new residential workshop looking at the interactions between the mind, the body and the emotions. It seemed to me that there were plenty of workshops looking at any one of those elements but few or none looking at all together.
Who Are You?

We are creating an opportunity to consider how the unique language hidden in the body expresses everything that we believe resides only in our minds. For many of us the body is ‘the missing link’ which, when we know how to listen to it, can tell us so much about who we are. Similarly, we are frequently driven by forces which we rarely have access to unless they push their way up to consciousness, often when stimulated by external events. Finding and reflecting on these colourful characters through the power of imagery takes us beyond language into a deeper appreciation of our many selves. Central to this exploratory process will be an enquiry into the astounding accuracy and integrative power of the Enneagram map with its nine different personality types and world-views, which are hard-wired into us from birth. |
