Empowering Authentic Beingness
Our work at Openhand reaches out through all spiritual practices and disciplines. It is carefully crafted to connect with you where you are at and move you forwards on your own unique journey of spiritual unfolding.

Each workshop and course has its own particular focus and they are graded at sequential depths of exploration. Generally, they all tend to have common threads of activity...

• deep exploration of the profound nature of reality combining direct spiritual experience with grounded scientific understanding
• self realisation, guided meditations with group and individual interaction
• in-depth exploration of the authentic nature of the self including the absolute, the soul, our chakra system and bodily vehicles of expression
• energy processing to release internal blockages and dissolve limiting, conditioned thinking
• in-depth exploration of the five key expansions including, inner child awareness, kundalini activation, karmic past lives, Enlightenment and Ascension

A revolutionary approach integrating ancient and contemporary
We observe a Benevolent Guiding Presence assisting in our evolution which some call unconditional love. We embody and channel this consciousness through our work. By tuning in and following its mirroring guidance, we have evolved our own revolutionary approach that blends the ancient with the contemporary, combining enlightening spiritual realisation with insightful scientific wisdom.

We're integrating heart and mind to access a higher truth. We're not trying to supplant your wisdom with ours, but rather helping to provide fertile ground that a more evolved version of your own truth may unfold.

Five courses for Five Gateways
Here at Openhand, we observe that our spiritual evolution takes place through five key stages. So our courses are geared purposefully in a sequential way to facilitate those expansions of consciousness...

• "Five Gateways": facilitating a profound experiential routemap to catalyse the next step of your spiritual evolution...full info
• "Walking the Path": providing a 'spiritual compass' for unveiling your destiny, attuning to the path of your soul...full info
• "The Transfiguration": dissolving false self identities to become the absolute "Seer" of all things...full info
• "Crucifying the Ego": confronting past life karma, reintegrating final fragments of soul that still identify us with the illusion of separation...full info
• "Warriors of Truth": initiating Openhand Associates to catalyse the evolutionary journey for others...full info

Facilitators
The work is facilitated by Chris and Trinity Bourne...

• Chris Bourne: At the age of 40, Chris was involved in a life threatening car crash in which he thought he would certainly die. This precipitated total inner surrender, a rapid expansion of consciousness and reconnection with the absolute - the God within us. He explains "It was as if I was being challenged to surrender every belief and value that I held. The sense of coming home to my true self was joyous and intensely liberating. I felt that in losing what I thought to be myself I had gained everything".

  Prior to his awakening Chris had a rich and varied professional career including a Science Masters Degree from Oxford University. It is this synthesis of both profound spiritual experience and grounded scientific understanding which is proving invaluable in facilitating others in their own journey of Spiritual Evolution.

• Trinity Bourne: Trinity developed a keen interest in harmonious living from a young age, enjoying a passionate affiliation with the natural world. About fourteen years ago she experienced a profound spiritual awakening opening her heart to the 'truth' about our inherent nature. This led to a compassionate lifestyle of divine service establishing and leading an environmental group preserving local natural habitats, followed by study of herbal medicine, natural nutrition, and holistic therapies.

  Over the years she has been taken in hand by higher consciousness through countless profound encounters and meditational experiences to learn the intricacies of multiple dimensions through kundalini activation; removal of energy blockages; astral and out-of-body projections; the subtleties of both unity and separation consciousness, past life regressions including their relevance to our current incarnation.

Workshop and Course Feedback

• "I have to say that I'm still "buzzing" after last weekends course, it was a real challenge to come back to work on Monday! I want to thank you for so many things, for assisting in the internal energy shift, for reminding me of the powers of self awareness, for increasing my inner smile to such an extent that I left the course laughing on both days and to be such a perfect example of oneness, I have been truly inspired. My life has been full of meetings with spiritual leaders, so called experts in the field and it was so refreshing to be in the company of someone who is living completely and wholly in their truth." Kiran

I was literally blown away by the incredible energy and I don't know which I enjoyed more, learning and working through the exercises or meeting so many wonderful people. The effects have been nothing short of profound on my own personal growth and I am looking forward more than ever to getting involved with upcoming events and also experiencing more of your incisive understanding."
