Seen from the perspective of a healer a broken heart means, first of all, a major disturbance within the fourth chakra. This is mainly caused by following a “wrong dream” instead of deeply listening to the heart’s voice. As a result of this Stefan believes severe physical diseases may be encouraged. Today Stefan will show us how to treat the fourth chakra spiritually, physically, emotionally and on the mind level. This includes hands-on techniques to treat others as well as profound guidance on how to heal your own heart.

Healer Stefan Rippel was responsible for introducing energy healing to cancer care in a Viennese hospital. He is leading a series of workshops for healers and individuals, using techniques from ancient healing and mystery traditions around the world.

This is the first of a six-part dowsing course, which offers a thorough basic training in the art of dowsing, and leads on to an advanced course to help you become a proficient dowser. Each part is complete in itself and may be taken separately. In Part 1 you will learn how to work with unseen energies by dowsing, how to use various dowsing tools, and how to interpret and understand their response. You will learn how to check if you are sleeping in a safe place, and if not, the remedies required. Dowsing for food intolerances will be covered, as will the importance of self protection. With practice throughout the day you will build confidence in the answers you receive and will be able to start using this in your daily life.

Christopher Strong is a professional dowser who helps clients by harmonising earth energies and psychic disturbances. He has been dowsing for over 25 years and is also an accredited Feng Shui consultant.

With numerous tools to help you, help yourself, Psychic Self-Protection introduces and explores crystals, visioning, journeying and other techniques that will allow you to automatically feel safe and secure in any circumstance.

This is a sense of inner peace, of being at home and, therefore, protected in your own skin. Once you have this, no matter what happens around you, you’re ready to meet challenges with excited anticipation and the confidence of being in charge of your own destiny. Rather than taking a defensive stance, you open yourself up and meet with world with joy and optimism. As what you put your attention on manifests, your world becomes better and better as you adapt to change.

The ideas behind this second introductory workshop are simple ones that enable us to successfully touch our inner physical, emotional and spiritual selves in just a few minutes every day. This is a unique opportunity to learn and experience in pairs, as a group, and individually, just how to touch our own and others inner energies and timelines. This is achieved by using the mystical Eastern energy practices that link meditation, the chakras, human energy streaming, and the principles of psychic divination laid out in the I Ching (the Chinese Book of Changes). In the future everyone who cares for their health, sex and longevity will choose to re-connect with these practices. A free copy of Tom’s small diagrammatic notebook Touching the Unseen in Ten Minutes will be available for anyone who does not already have one. Please wear comfortable exercise clothing.

Today we discover, or re-visit, our dowsing skills, using them to examine the effect of commonly used chemicals, cosmetics, cleaning products, over-the counter medicines, foodstuffs and supplements on our energy fields. Learn how to avoid or overcome detrimental effects, and avoid wasting money on items of little benefit. The effects will first be examined by dowsing on the body directly, and then we will learn how simple charts can be used to obtain more accurate information. Learn how the body can be replaced by a ‘witness’, such as a small hair sample, helping to investigate problems of people who live far away but who connect with us via the mind. See how we can use ‘witnesses’ of our pets or even our garden plants and whether we can replace actual chemical substances with a ‘substance witness’, which might only be the name of the item written on a piece of paper. Lastly, we will harness our minds to energise water, serving as an antidote to detrimental substances and also to enhance the effect of beneficial items. Please bring writing materials, a dowsing pendulum. Charts will be provided.

Linda Cartwright became interested in esoteric healing techniques when a dowsing homeopath cured her of an intractable problem. She now practises radionics, which depends on the dowsing skill.

Almost half of complementary and alternative practitioners never practise - why? The reason is that few understand they are actually setting up a small business. Once they do realise this, practitioners often think that it’s too scary and difficult, so either little or nothing happens. This is a great shame. So, this one-day practical and informative workshop aims to address these fears and worries. It’s aimed at all practitioners: those who have not yet started to practice, those who may be struggling and those who might just need an injection of enthusiasm and some new ideas. It covers the key aspects of running a successful practice, offering tools and ideas to really get you going and to assist your enjoyment in doing it.

Do you want to wake up from who you are not and feel alive, well and free once again? In this workshop, using intention and trust, we will journey into the worlds of soul retrieval and learn how to bring back the missing parts from both this and past lifetimes, reclaiming our birthright to fully express our wise timeless souls. Wear warm comfortable clothing, and bring a blanket, pillow and cover for your eyes.

This multi-dimensional workshop will assist the ascending sound waves of the Eighth Chakra, the portal for cosmic intelligence. When soul immersion through sound is drawn deep into our physical membrane, when we are removed from past pains, the Eighth Chakra creates cascading currents of light that appear to shine in the Aura like wings, and so we pulse with the universal heart, and align with unity consciousness. The workshop objective is to accelerate the totality of consciousness by aligning us with the Angelic concords.
