ATTENTION: BRITISH SUMMERTIME BEGINS!
On 25 March 2010 at 1am (GMT) the clocks go forward one hour!
This workshop will explore sonic codes that resonate a refined super-coherence into our lives. These codes are crucial at this time of planetary transformation, as we move from the love of power to the power of love, and are kept sacred by the wisdom keepers of the most indigenous traditions, who believe that the heart has a secret chamber speaking a language of oneness to all people. As ancient as the rocks and wind, this mode of communication creates a fusion between mind and body, and of thought and feeling. Do come along and experience these inspirational leading edge Heart Tools.
Theatre has always been a powerful tool for transformation. An audience can change its perceptions about self and society though performance. In this workshop you will learn a form of intuitive improv theatre, where the actors tune into the story told by an audience member. They then replay the story intuitively bringing out more insight that the teller has themselves. Intuition also plays a part during performance as the cast must tune into their fellow actors to seamlessly move as one. This workshop is for people who want to find a physically embodied somatic way to develop intuition and for people who enjoy performing. Based on Playback theatre, no experience necessary, just a willingness to have fun and move.
Fear can make us rigid, defensive and limit the possibilities that we allow ourselves. This is especially difficult as some of our fears are unconscious but still hold influence over the decisions that we make and the way we behave in our relationships. In this workshop we will look at the birth chart to find our fears. We will then see their origin and the way in which they are stopping us from achieving inner peace and personal success. Finally we will consider how to best move forward. This is the key to transmuting a base metal into personal gold. No previous knowledge of Astrology is necessary. Ana is an astrologer with over 10 years experience of producing charts and delivering teaching programmes.
This series of workshops provides an introduction to anatomy and physiology. We will explore ways of using the structures, tissues and systems of the body as a gateway to ground the spirit and to enliven the tissues of the body. There will be: talks on anatomical principals, meditations and guided visualisations, discussion, self-reflection and experimental exercises (single and/or paired work). We will look at how we move, the grounding structure of the skeleton and how muscles hold our personal history. You will learn a holistic approach to the physical body, embracing the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of oneself. Observing ways to integrate the knowledge into a healing practise, cultivating a common language of terminology to speak with other health workers.
A fun day exploring colour, with the aim of bringing more joy into your life with colour. You will start the day checking and spring cleaning your Chakras making sure they are true to colour. Using ribbons in fabulous colours you will learn how to give your intuition a good workout. You will explore how colour affects healing: what works best for soothing, relaxing, warming and energising the body. Finally, you will examine what colours can be associated with your guides. With the aid of colour wax blocks we will do some psychic ironing to produce a picture with a message from our guides. This workshop is open to all, no experience in the subject is needed, just the willingness to have fun!
This two-day workshop is approved by the British Society of Dowsers and is part of a series. Sources of underground water can be major causes of negative energy and you will learn how to locate these sources and feel the difference in positive and negative water sources. You will learn about Spirit of Place in homes and places, locating the elementals and dowsing the energies of the environment you live in. You will connect with, and tune into, the elementals and locate the guardians at various sites in the locality. The workshop covers map dowsing and includes visits to a church in the area to dowse the energy chakras and various other places so that you can see how the energy of buildings and trees in the landscape affect us and how you can change that energy to benefit all.
BToday is about embracing your authentic self - a spirit being having a human experience through the journey and learning of your soul and the harmonizing or your energy. We will cover the anatomy of the Soul/Human energy system and how they interact with, and reflect, the life you are having and how to bring about balance and harmony within it. We will invite your Soul to talk to you and let it show you the way ahead. Your Soul is the driving force behind your life so let it lead, hand over to it’s guiding influence and step back onto your path and fulfil your potential.

Using ancient healing techniques used by the Tibetans, singing bowls will be placed around the body and played as a sound bath to bring about release, balance and healing. We will use sound vibration to communicate with the body intelligence to work on a cellular level as well as the spirit of the emotional levels. This workshop starts with a singing bowl meditation before participants are given a brief history of singing bowls and their composition, their resonation range and how this alters the brainwave frequencies. You will be guided how to play a singing bowl effectively for healing purposes. An overview of the chakra system will be given as well as a demonstration to locate each chakra before you will find, first hand, where each chakra is by feeling the energy with your own hands. You will then be shown how to place bowls on and near each chakra for healing purposes. You will work in small groups, each taking it in turns to become healer and client, relaxing and absorbing within the vibrations of the chakra cleanse and balance as energy flows over and through you.
As Human Beings, we can be full of the imprints of our past experience. Our personal history and belief system, past life catalogue, genetic blueprint, along with all of our experiences in other dimensions and galaxies, all can leave their mark in our psyche, and energy field. At this time, we may be well served by letting go of much of the accumulated debris and data, so that we become light, free, and available to the amazing influx of grace that is currently available in our collective journey. On this day we will explore some of the constructs that keep us bound and limited. Working with simple techniques, processes and sounds, prayers, meditations and invocations we will invite freedom from our history, so that we may more fully occupy our bodies and our lives with joy harmony and peace, moving into our potential more easily, speedily and gracefully.
This day will help you to open your psychic doorway. Participants will learn how to connect to and communicate with their Guides and Angels through dowsing - invaluable for those who cannot ‘hear’ or ‘see’ their Guides. You will learn how to use dowsing to help heighten your intuitive development, and to understand and interpret the psychic information and messages you are receiving. Psychic protection will also be explored more fully. This is part four of the Dowsing course but it is complete in itself, and is open to all.For those who would like to learn how to use dowsing to read and balance the aura and energy centres. Participants will be taught practical techniques to help them follow the energy field surrounding others, and both read and balance the aura and energy centres. Psychic protection will also be an integral part of this day. This is part 3 of our dowsing course but is complete in itself and open to all.
In this workshop, working in pairs and as a group, you will learn about, and experience, Spiritdirected flows of sound, light, and psychic or cosmic-mind energy, that will take you to yet another level of transformation, as it were, beyond what you know already! A free copy of Tom’s diagrammatic work-book Touching the Unseen in Ten Minutes will be available for anyone who has not already acquired one.
This is a follow up workshop to part one based on traditional teachings. The workshop is for students who have been working at the auric/psychic level for a while and have not fully made the transition to working at the clairvoyant level. We will be working on differentiating between the psychic and the clairvoyant levels and how to raise the vibration and recognise where the information wee receive is coming from and how to relate it to the sitter. Students must have completed Fundamentals of Psychic Development Part 1 or have been in a beginner’s development class for at least 2 terms.
The human instrument is composed of vibrations which, due stress, negative emotions and a dispersed mind, go out of tune. The object of sound healing is to draw these frequencies closer to their optimum point and in so doing re-tune the person towards harmony and contentment. The best instrument for this is the internal vibrations of our own voice. James will focus this workshop on a variety of ways of toning both East and West the energy centres known as the chakras, the core of our soul life. Supplementary to these practices are natural sound rituals such as laughter and humming, mantra, chants and specialized Taoist sounds for the organs of the body. Some of the work is complemented by simple movements similar to Tai Chi which encourage and direct the sounds. Tuning forks are introduced to stimulate the cells and nervous system. No experience required, only the deep intent for transformation.

Nature spirits and fairies are all around us in our gardens, parks and open spaces. They would like us to acknowledge them so that we can become more attuned to nature, our environment and start to acknowledge and work with them. The day starts in the College with a discussion about what fairies and nature spirits are and then moves to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens so that you can start to feel or tune into their vibration within our energy fields. Both these gardens have monuments like Peter Pan and areas where we are being invited as individuals to meditate and sense their presence. This workshop is open to all. Please bring a picnic for lunch, a blanket to sit on for meditation and wet weather clothes and umbrellas in case of rain.

Working with the loving Spirit world and energy can be a very inspiring, uplifting and loving experience to us as mediums. Delivering well presented, meaningful messages with sound evidence of survival is essential also from the recipient’s point of view. Today is designed to offer various exercises to train mediumistic skills: encouragement to take risks and develop the trust to receive and say more and more facts rather than making generalisations, focus on the performance and communications skills when delivering the message, and to look for a good code of practice when working with the loving Spirit world. Suitable for students with experience in mediumship training. Please bring a photo of a loved one who has passed into the Spirit world.

“When the writer is ready the Muse will appear.” The spiritual writer has been at the heart of every spiritual tradition as messenger, recorder, channeller, inspirer and connector. The spiritual writer has also been the heretic, the one stretching the rigid bounds of the prevailing system of thought. Although at times this has been a dangerous profession nowadays the biggest block to the spiritual writer comes not from external forces but from internalised ones. The spiritual writer knows how to: still and raise their consciousness, be self-reflective, be present to the inspiration in the world, work with paradox, write to address a real need in the world, and write in a whole brain way. This workshop will show you how to: find your unique way to the well of inspiration, prepare to raise your consciousness to release and channel your creative muse, befriend the inner critic, structure the flow of your writing , decide on the right publishing option (which includes approaching a publisher with a book non-fiction proposal). Ideal for all levels of writing experience.
In this workshop Douglas will explain and demonstrate how Universal Energy works and how to use it for the healing of others, often when they have suffered from long-standing conditions and lived with unremitting pain. Equally importantly, he will communicate with his source of intelligent energy and show you how you can make similar connections for yourself - an ability which you can use for the benefit of others in all walks of life as they struggle to put their past, present and, especially their future, into perspective. In today’s world of financial upheaval, global unrest and uncertainty, we all have questions about our future. Let Douglas Ballard show you how to use Universal Energy to find the answers.
