We are PHIL YOUNG and MORAG CAMPBELLTogether we are MASTERWORKS
Masterworks International started out in 1984 as a small school in Dorset, England running residential trainings in Polarity Therapy. Like Topsy, it has just kept growing from there and has run trainings around the globe. Masterworks has helped to establish trainings in the UK, Scandanavia, Austria and South Africa as well giving guest presentations and running conference workshops in the UK, Switzerland and the USA.
Masterworks has branched out in others ways too and in 2008 was the energy behind the establishment of The Polarity Network, an online resource for Polarity people everywhere. In 2010 this was followed by the setting up of the International Polarity Education Alliance, which as the name implies, is an Alliance of Polarity Educators, practitoners and students around the world. The Alliance provides a register of Polarity Professionals and Energy workers who include polarity principles in their work.
MWI Publishing is another arm of Masterworks which co-publishes books on esoteric subjects and as if all that were not enough, produces educational dvds on such topics as chi kung, bodywork and Hawaiian Huna.
So, we at Masterworks, like to live what we teach. If you don't believe that working with the life energy improves your vitality, increases your creativity and boosts your stamina, just read all of the above again.

My initial training in Polarity was with Alan Seigel in San Franscico. Blessed with a near photographic memory, an insatiable thirst for knowledge plus a gift for healing, I had soon emersed myself in the works of Dr Stone. Though I have never thought of myself as a purist, over the years that I have practised and taught Polarity I have remained true to Stone's work and it is probably why I feel so strongly about preserving Polarity as he presented it, and glad to research and collect what I can about the man and his work which I have gathered together in the Polarity Network.
From 2003 to 2005 I was President of the American Polarity Therapy Association: an arduous task as I had to travel regularly from my home in England to the USA. It was not without its benefits though, copious air miles being one of them.
Polarity has been a incredible journey, the Hawaiian Huna work that I do is another amazing gift and in the spirit of creativity and movement (energy has to move and do work!) the journey continues with the genesis of Trance Body Healing and the production of more books and dvds on topics that really interest me.
Polarity has been a way of life for Morag and I since it grabbed us nearly 30 years ago. We value the work, hold none of it back when we teach and bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding born of real experience to the classroom.

In many ways my journey through Polarity to the present day has mirrored Phil's. Practising and teaching Polarity back in the 1980's was exciting, challenging and edgy. No one had heard much about Polarity in England at that time and at the healing centre that we ran at the time rumours abounded about we were actually doing there. The results spoke for themselves. With a steady supply of clients we soon came to appreciate the efficacy of Polarity and so did a generous amount of local people too.
Once we began to teach, the world opened up for us. We had requests from perfect strangers to come and teach in their country, and in a spirit of absolute trust, we went. We have made so many good friends around the world stemming from our willingness to travel and to teach.
I spent 18 years going back and forth to Norway to teach with the Norwegian Institute for Polarity Therapy in Oslo where I now have good friends and collegues.
Since moving to Eire, I have written more and The Polarity Network and Alliance take a lot of our time but we see it as a way of still serving the Polarity community.
