A brand new idea for SOS Brighton!
An area of the main exhibition hall where you can watch an example of a ‘letting go’ ceremony (and even join in if you want?), feng shui your workspace, create your own vision board and take part in a letting go and starting over process involving a giant balloon!
11.20 & 14.30
Secret of starting over successfully
Following on from their short workshop in the SPICE London Zone at SOS Brighton, Rhythm of Life interfaith ministers (as seen on GMTV!) will provide and example of a ‘letting go ceremony’.
Thinking and strategies that will help you let go of any unhelpful limiting thoughts and feelings, enable you to focus on yourself and what you want in life and move forward energised and more confident. And how to let go of what (or who) may be holding you back…..
Run by: Estelle Williams and Lucy Wintle
Interfaith Ministers and specialists in Workshop Leadership, Fulfilment Strategies, Life Navigation, Values and Spirituality.
These short demonstrations take place in the Interactive Zone at 11.20 (following the short letting go workshop in the Spice Zone) and again at 14.30.
14.45 and 16.00
A UNIQUE CEREMONY
FOR ALL VISITORS to join in
A letting go and starting over ceremony – a shared experience
Separation, divorce, losing job and bereavement are some of the most stressful things we will all have to face in our lives.
We cannot change events and we cannot change the other person involved; how they think or feel or what they do necessarily. But we can change the way we think, feel and act.
We can alter the focus of our attention away from the other person, the person we feel has hurt us; and stop putting our energies into what we don’t want.
Instead we can start focusing on ourselves; putting our energies into what we do want for ourselves.

The ceremony will begin at 14.45 and again at 16.00 in the Interactive Zone, and last for about 10 minutes, and involves a giant balloon!

letting go & starting over ceremony for all to share

A UNIQUE CEREMONY
FOR ALL VISITORS to join in
A letting go and starting over ceremony – a shared experience
Separation, divorce, losing job and bereavement are some of the most stressful things we will all have to face in our lives.
With separation and divorce comes a maelstrom of feelings and emotions including anger, hurt, judgement, remorse and guilt. Often we feel the victim; things have been done to us, outcomes and events are not as we would have wished or expected. We feel bad; regardless of whether the separation or divorce is amicable or contentious.
We cannot change events and we cannot change the other person involved; how they think or feel or what they do necessarily. But we can change the way we think, feel and act.
We can alter the focus of our attention away from the other person, the person we feel has hurt us; and stop putting our energies into what we don’t want.
Instead we can start focusing on ourselves; putting our energies into what we do want for ourselves.
Ceremony outline – What will happen?
1) Invitation to let go of unhelpful, negative thoughts, feelings and ways of being.
2) Acknowledgment of the space that letting go creates; and the value and importance of this space in providing us with an opportunity to focus and clarify what we do want for ourselves in the future – our personal future intentions
3) Invitation to new ways of being ; enabling us to focus on ourselves and what we do want in our lives, with new supportive thoughts, feelings and intentions that help us move forward with confidence
The ceremony will be interactive and involve visual representations for letting go and the invitation to the new. You don’t have to be with a partner – you can do it alone or even with a friend.
The ceremony will begin at 14.30 and again at 16.30 in the Interactive Zone, and last for about 10 minutes.
SOS is grateful to the exhibitors who have put in their time and effort to make this shared experience possible:

ESTELLE WILLIAMS, LUCY WINTLE AND PAUL SANDFORD – ORDAINED INTERFAITH MINISTERS
Estelle Williams, Lucy Wintle and Paul Sandford – trained and ordained Interfaith ministers. Non denominational ministers here to serve people of all faiths, or none.
Following our ordination our friendship grew as did our commitment to serving all people regardless of their religion beliefs or sexual orientation; and this led to the creation of what we have to offer via “Rhythm- of- life”.
Experienced in world traditions, ritual and prayer, we create ceremonies and provide services that will uplift and inspire. Our Interfaith ceremonies and services are personalised, warm, creative and memorable; and will reflect your own values, beliefs and intentions.
We embrace all faiths and spiritual practice, and are open to both religious and non religious ceremonies.
We have an extensive knowledge of readings, poems, quotes, vows, music and ritual; and a breadth of experience in creating and facilitating ceremonies. Whether spiritual, religious or secular we can provide guidance and a helping hand to create a ceremony that will reflect who you are and what you want to say.
Furthermore, we consider our role to be an enormous privilege. We really enjoy making the experience all it can be for all concerned.
