Nicholas Samuels Plus

We are still getting feedback in regard to Nicholas Samuels workshop and in  fairness I do feel I need to share it. In fact it has been flooding in  from nearly all the participants.  I do hope ours is received in the same manner,  I will share just two more with you.
 
In this workshop we were treated to a well prepared and carefully presented exploration of the practice of Mindfulness. Nicholas took us through its origins in Eastern traditions, its introduction to western thought by John Kabat-Zinn, and the form that is currently offered in the NHS.
 
It is not a cure for physical pain, for any conditions  or for mental anguish but is a tool to strengthen people in their ability to cope.
 
Well-researched, Nicholas explained that studies have shown that Mindfulness is of some benefit to everyone. In contrast, one third of people are resistant to hypnosis.
 
Many of us have over active minds and  stressed bodies. Healing the split and reducing the levels is essential. A practice of Mindfulness, in whatever form works best for us, will help.

I really enjoyed the "Mindfulness" workshop with Nicholas Samuels.  He gave  us a concise history of mindfulness, explaining although it is currently a buzzword the principles  it are thousands of years old.  He allied that to how our brain and sensory networks assimilate information. 
 
 By giving  us a through understanding of how and why mindfulness works he open the door of opportunity to allow us to make it part of our daily lives in whatever form we wished to do so.

Our next workshop is on the 30th June and starts at noon at Woodford Spiritualist Church "Creative Pathways to Spirit" and these series of workshops were inspired by Julia Cameron. intuition, mediumship and creativity are all right brain functions and developing one can lead to the other including inspirational poetry or prose, psychic art  as well as understanding how to trust our own intuition. Please come and join us (www.woodfordchurch)  Everyone welcome whatever level. 
 
Our next workshop and talk at Epping is on the 7th July and to start the day off there will be a short workshop on "Meeting Your Guide"  plus a guided meditation. This will be followed by a talk by Doctor Ian Rubenstein a GP who sees spirit walk in with his patients, he has sat in circle plus  written a book.

Thank you again for the workshop yesterday. Please thank Nicholas for a very interesting presentation. I thought he was giving us a great mix of science and information, blended in with personal experiences. He was funny, genuine and very aware of everyone's needs and feelings. I will definitely attend more of his Workshops in future

I attended Nicholas Samuels' workshop on Saturday 23 June on Mindfulness at the Rainbow Sanctuary in Epping.  I was very impressed by the professional standard of Nicholas' presentation.  He certainly raises the bar for workshops!  Nicholas has a great depth of knowledge on the subject of Mindfulness and is able to teach this in an easy and accessible manner.  He possesses the rare ability to easily relate to the students and is able to draw the best out of them.  I will certainly keep a look out for any further workshops that Nicholas is doing in the future - they are well worth attending.

Sunday, June 10, 2018


We are really looking forward to the next round of workshops the first of these being on the 23rd June with Nicholas Samuels on Mindfulness being held at the beautiful venue in Epping.  It is the Friends Meeting House, Hemnall Street, Epping,  CM16 4LL and there is parking outside.  If you are coming on public transport the underground is not too far away and there are buses outside which will take you to the High Street then it is a short walk,  The workshop itself will start at 1.30, but we will be there from 1 pm to met and greet. This is going to be not only an interesting workshop, but highly informative,  We are very excited about our new series of workshops as it will blend out two passions creativity and the spirit world. So date for your diary is 30th June at Woodford Spiritualist Church.  Starts at noon. There are many pathways to spirit and creativity is one of them. We are part of the great creator therefore we are creative. People who are creative are also very intuitive and this can be channelled to an advantage in such a way other pathways open up such as spirit art, inspirational speaking, writing and music. People tell me they are not creative only to find when questioned they have designed their garden or cook the most amazing meals. Our new workshops and courses " Creative Pathways to Spirit" was inspired by Julia Cameron are just about this and how to combine harnessing the elements to enhance our souls journey as well as incorporating it into our daily lives we are in our belief spirit enjoying an human experience for our souls growth and spirituality is a way of life not just a belief. Come to one or all of them. During these workshops which are ongoing we will be covering different aspect of creativity as well as diverse ways to link to spirit bringing communications as well as improving your intuitive self.  You will need to bring with you an A4 notebook plus some sticky notes for your rainbow rays (www.woodfordchurch.com). Our next event at Epping will be very interesting as it is with Doctor Ian Robenstein  who actually see  spirit. This is on the 7th July and before hand Daniel Naughnane will be leading a workshop entitled "Meet Your Guide". Again this starts at 1.30 pm with doors opening at 1 pm.  I would also like to recommend a workshop in the far distance, but one well worth putting in your diary with Wendy Stokes on the 10th November "How to get published" put it in your diary now.
