ABOUT JAY GLUBB
Jay began his exploration of mindful movement based practices including Yoga, Tai Chi and the Martial Arts in his early twenties. Exploring these, as well as a profound interest in Eastern Spirituality led him to the practice of Qigong, an ancient moving meditation practice that works on the body’s energy systems (Qi), for improved wellbeing, health and vitality. For over 14 years Jay has had a daily practice, has incorporated these valuable techniques into daily life and has been passionate in helping others to do the same.
Jay believes that the keys to manifesting a better life and contributing to a better world both share the same source, that is, for each individual to reconnect to themselves and in this process become aware of their connection to nature, others and everything beyond. Jay lives on a small lifestyle block, consisting mostly of trees and gardens on the outskirts of Dunedin. He runs Social Media for the Qigong organisation REN XUE international and teaches Qigong locally and further afield.

WHAT IS A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP, ANYWAY?
We all want healthy relationships, but we’re rarely taught how to build or identify them.
This workshop breaks down the idea of a “healthy relationship” and gives you the tools to analyse for yourself whether the relationships you have are healthy for you - and how to make them healthier if not. It takes many of the tools used in “How can we communicate better?” and suggests ways to apply them in the context of inter and intrapersonal relationships.
During this workshop our goals are to;
- Create a safe space where we can feel free from judgement or obligation
- Understand how to identify for ourselves what relationships are healthy and what relationships are unhealthy
- Feel empowered to change relationships that aren’t healthy, and to grow our healthy relationships even more
- Understand how to pick apart unhealthy relationships and identify the areas we need to work on/change
- Feel empowered to choose to end relationships that aren’t healthy for us
2 hours, group workshop (max 10)
Ideal for those who’ve attended a “How can we communicate better?” workshop, or for groups who feel like their communication skills are great but there are still issues to be worked on in their relationships.

BREAKING THE MOULD: CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIP CREATION
We aren’t all the same, but we’re all socialised to expect the same things from our deep relationships
This discussion workshop looks deeper into non-traditional ideas of how relationships can look, and how we can deal with many of the immediate reactions these may bring up in us. Focusing primarily on many of the key pitfalls that people encounter in ethical non-monogamy, this workshop takes you deeper inside yourself to reflect on not only what you feel but why you feel it and how to consciously work through these feelings in a way that is healthy for you.
In this workshop, our goals are to;
- Create a safe space for everyone where we can express ourselves honestly, and discuss the challenges conscious relationship creation presents us.
- Understand the reasons our emotions don’t always match our decisions.
- Understand how to healthily negotiate agreements with ourselves and our partners.
- Understand how to work through our reactions, on our own and with our partners, healthily addressing our needs while challenging our conditioning.
2 hours, group discussion workshop (max 10)
Ideal for anyone interested in creating conscious, intentional, non-traditional relationships - be that non-monogamy, 24/7 BDSM, relationship anarchy, or even a more consciously formed style of monogamy
