We were delighted  with the results of our Day with Spirit at Woodford Spiritualist Church last Saturday (www.woodfordchurch.com).  I would like to thank all of those who participated in anyway including networking from behind the scenes.  Those attending doing workshops or readings plus the kitchen did a wonderful job and included Alex Camies, Iris Klein (President), Carol Chambers, Howie Chambers, Brenda Hodgson, Susan Watson, Sharon Law, Daniel Naughnane, Ruth Lipkin, David Irvin, Stephanie Barrows, Keith Hudson, Sam Prigmore, Geraldine Kelly, Ray Prendagast, Carol, Sandra  and myself.   A total of £430 was rained for the Brain Tumour Trust. Thank you too all those who support it.  A special thank you to Sonya Campbell Williams, David Burke and Brenda Diskin who are not even members of the church donating readings. Incidentally Brenda will be coming to serve the church in October attending another day with spirit as well as running a workshop.

Our next workshop is on the 12th August at Woodford.  Please note there will be nothing running in August at Epping,  We will be doing another Creative Pathway to Spirit and it will be entirely different to the last one and I hope those who enjoyed our last one will be able to attend.  It will start at 12 noon and finish at 5 pm.  Cost only £10 or £12 non members.  I would also like to recommend two workshops at Woodford the first of which is the 21st July with Beverley Swift entitled "Wellbeing for Workers" Beverley is an excellent tutor and a lovely lady.  So come if you can (all details are on the Woodford website as above).  Then on the 4th August for the first time medium Bruce Bayley will be running a workshop called "The Seven Keys of Colour Healing"  I am also pleased to announce our closed circle is now up and running again with great results last night when Alex produced two spirit drawings one of which is on this entry.

We really enjoyed Dr Ian Rubenstein lecture on his journey to connecting with the spirit world.  We are hoping he will return at some point and repeat the lecture as so many people were disappointed they had missed it.  The workshop  beforehand  with Daniel Naughnane was very interesting and two interesting pieces of art were accomplished (well it was more than two), but these are the only ones I have a photographed. 
 

Our new series of workshops "Creative Pathways to Spirit"  we are planning are showing great possibilities and below are two pieces written at the first of these workshops. 

Words selected from meditations: - Learning, rabbit,  robes and the card – Lightening

In a field of lush green grass, dawn was breaking and the sun was rising in the sky. Several young rabbits are hopping around and investigating what is in the field. One of the rabbits discovers a hole beneath a tree in a bank at the side of the field. As he draws close there is a bright light coming from the hole and he is keen to explore it. The rabbit calls to his other rabbit friends asking them to join him to see what they can find down the hole. Excited they all scuttle down the hole and when they reach the bottom they suddenly find themselves in a school room. Several adult rabbits stood in front of the desks dressed in silk like flowing robes. “Welcome” said one who seemed to be the Head of the school, “Welcome to the Hall of Learning. Here we will teach you about the spiritual truth and the way of life. 

Another group produce this with words from their meditation and a card.

"By digging in the allotment I create calm and tranquility. Mother Earth is our wisdom.

Tranquility and calmness come with wisdom. Mother Earth holds the wisdom of Mother Nature and the seeds of wisdom grow within us all.

With the wisdom that lies deep within you, allow your spirit to be the driving force that brings you dear one, to a place of understanding and tranquil settings. A feeling of happiness that calms any storm that may break"

We also received this lovely review

"I have always enjoyed attending Pat and Daniels workshop as find I can link quite easily with their creative and different ways of teaching. The first exercise we did was a section of questions which were quite thought provoking. Although one or two in my first allocated group had a bit of a challenge with responding to the questions at times, we had some really interesting discussions and results in the end. The exercise using the words brought up in our meditations to create prose/poetry etc. created some amusement within my second group exercise, as we tried to link the words and the card into the writing, and surprisingly the result was rather like a children’s fable. Other exercises also set the old psychic matter working well and results seem to be well received. All in all a good day and I look forward to attending the next in the workshop in the series with Pat and Daniel soon" Alex

Our next workshop is on the 12th August at Woodford Spiritual Church (www.woodfordchurch.com) starts at noon followed by one on the 15th September at Woodford. We also have one more in September and another in Epping. Please come and join us.
