As I sat here updating the blog I saw a little robin preening itself in the warmth of the sun and I will take that as a blessing and a message to stand my ground., but it also means divine service shamanism and I am taking this as a sign that at long last there is a teaching centre on the horizon. I am still raising moderate amounts of money via knitting and we are always available for readings, church bookings and workshops.  We love imparting knowledge and are willing to travel.  Just a reminder that we are at Stockwell Spiritualist Church tomorrow with our "Sound Healing With Colour Workshop "which starts at 11 am and finishes at 4.30 pm.  We had hoped to get there tonight to see Graham Watson and the Spiritual Gnomes on Tour, but because of my vertigo problems decided it would be too late getting home and we need to be fresh to give our best to spirit tomorrow.  Hopefully those of you who go tonight will make sure the naughty gnomes behave if poor Graham has problems with 's them.  I believe tonight's service starts at 7.30.  On Monday we are the mediums at Woodford Church and the service starts at 2 pm so please join us (and you never know one of the naughty gnomes make appear there). You are always guaranteed a warm welcome at Woodford no matter whose there a cup of tea in offered and biscuits (www.woodfordchurch.com).  A very friendly church so don't be shy come and join us this Monday the 23rd June. We are very excited about the new Awareness Group that starts on the 4th July at Woodford Church cost just £3 - so just turn up at 7.15 for 7.30 no needs to book.  Everyone welcome although it is aimed at people new to spiritualism and this way of life, but those of you who feel you can learn something are also welcome. We are pleased to announce we have a new monthly circle starting at Grove Park and we hope to start this on  the 9th July ands will be held at a friends home.  It will have limited numbers and the cost is just £4.  Don't forget we also have one workshop and two courses at Woodford in July and for those of you who can't make Sundays or Tuesdays.  It is called "The Inspiration of Sound" and it starts at noon and finishes at 3pm.  On the 20th the July the Grand Gnome Tour will be at the  Island of Light Church on the Island and so will Graham Watson.  All being well so will we as we love this church and the Barbara Barnes the lady who runs it.  Barbara's next special is on the 17th August so keep that date in mind if you need a reading. Don't forget we are still raising money for the centre and with this in mind please take a look at our other blog http://craftladyrainbow.blogspot.com. Although its seems the most popular items are owls, keyrings and of course gnomes.   So why don't you give a gnome a home.  

Well that seems to be a quick Summer.  Hopefully it will reappear soon.  This coming month we are going to be busy well at least in the early part of it,  Firstly let talk about other things.  Could we all send healing to Maggie Jones who is having an operation today and its the second time she has had this operation so lets hope this time its successful. Talking on the lines of successful I would like to tell everyone reading this post that the workshop we went to last Saturday at Harrow on the Hill Spiritualist Church lead by Alan Albiston was excellent "The Magic of Nature Worship" and I hasten to add he is repeating this workshop at Brentwood on 21st June (see previous entry).  I f you live in that area or are willing to travel it will be worth it.  I would also like to thank everyone at the church for making us welcome lovely energy generated by all. There is lots going on that weekend ands we are at Stockwell Spiritualist Church on the 21st June  with our " Sound Healing with Colour" workshop starts at 11 am and finishes at 4.30pm (please bring a packet lunch and it you have a Tibetian Bowl or Rainstick please bring those too, but no drums.  If you are near Woodford Spiritualist Church (www.woodfordchurch.com) then again on the 21st June start at noon is a three hour workshop with Roz Sharkawy and again after attending her last one I can recommend it without hesitation (we would have been there if we had not been working ourselves). On the 29th June there is also a workshop at Woodford with Susan Griffiths entitled "Practical Intuition : How Intuition can help in Everyday Life", starts at 11 am and finishes at 4 pm. .Susan is a  good tutor and permitting we hope to be at this workshop.   On the 23rd June we will be taking the Monday afternoon service at Woodford Spiritualist Church and then on the 29th June we are at Edmonton Spiritualist Church for their evening service (a new church for us) and as always we are looking forward to taking these services.  On the 8th July we are at Woodford Spiritualist Church with our "Intuitive Ways With a Sketchbook" and I am pleased to say our group is growing.  Starts at 1pm and finishes around 5.30 pm.  Then on the following Sunday the 13th July it is "Co-Create with Spirit" starts at 12 noon and finishes at 4 pm.  Then later in the same month in the same church we have a Saturday workshop which starts at noon and finishes at 3 pm (more of that in our next post). We are now looking for ways we can generate money to open a centre as well as looking for a permanent venue (we are going to make further investigations, but we feel we would like to being this to fruition in the Epping area so if anyone has ideas in generating money and if they know of a hall or building around that area that is not in use please contact us on 07927 288904. or email rainbowhealingsanctuary@hotmail.co.uk.  We still have our give a gnome a home campaign in full swing and Graham Watson and his Spiritual Gnome Tour have become very popular and we have been auctioning them on Facebook and so far no less than 10 have found there way to various parts of the country.  Julie Holmes has offered to crochet doggie coats for the household pet and Pat Andrews has given me some hearts as part of our fund raising effort, but we need more ways of generating cash as I feel before we can take on a venue we need to lave at least £3,000 if not £5,000 and so far only £320 plus which is a start.  We need new ideas and also other venues to do workshops and therefore we would be grateful for any help.  The next leg of Graham's "Grand Spiritual Gnome Tour" will be as follows.  On Friday the 20th June they are at Stockwell Spiritualist Church which is a bit worrying as we are there the next day and you never know what they might get up to the address of Stockwell is St.Michael's Road, London SW9 0SL. We are going to be auction another gnome off later today and also a two day workshop and as long as our fares are paid and accommodation found we will travel anywhere in the in the United Kingdom.  Please support us by giving an owl or gnome a home.  Take a look on here http://craftladyrainbow.blogspot.com

I hope you are all enjoying the hot weather.  I will confess that neither Daniel nor I are. There is lots going on at the moment and masses of workshops to think about going to.  Firstly Graham Watson is continuing his "Grand Gnome Tour" of the churches.  His next port of call will be on Saturday the 14th June at Crawley Spiritual Church, Capel Lane, Gossops Green Crawley, RH11 8HL and then on the 18th June at Three Bridges Spiritual Church, New Street, Three Bridges Crawley RH10 1LW and then on the 19th June at Woking Spiritual Church, Grove Road, GU21 5JB.I have posted this picture of Mr.Silly, Mr.Valentine and Mr.Posh two of which are joining the tour and hopefully will be there in time for those mentioned.  Now to workshops and I noticed that Alan Albiston is having a workshop this Saturday the 14th June at Harrow Spiritualist Church, 1 Vaughan Road, Middlesex.HA1 4DP "The Magic of Nature Worship".  I notice he is repeating that workshop on the 21st June at Brentwood Spiritualist Church, Primrose Hill, Brentwood, Essex CM14LT.  Alan  is highly recommend by us as he is an excellent tutor. On the 21st June there will be another workshop we would have loved to have attended run  by Roz Sharkawy called "The Process of Alchemy" and if we hadn't been teaching at Stockwell Spiritualist Church, St.Michaels Road, SW9 0SL ourselves with our "Sound Healing with Colour Workshop" we would have dearly loved to attended this one.  Roz is a first class teacher and I would recommend her completely as I am sure those who attended her last workshop would agree. This will start at 12 noon at Woodford Church (www.woodfordchurch.com)  If you are near Stockwell please come and experience this powerful form of healing which helps to relieve the stress of modern society and the fast pace of life to which we are all subjected. It starts at 11 am and finishes around 4.30 pm. We are pleased to announce that we will be busy in July as we are hoping to start a meditation group at Grove Park as well as the new Awareness Group at Woodford Spiritualist Church, which starts on 4th July at 7.30 and will encompasses all the basics of spiritualism as well as helping people to be aware of their own intuition and abilities.  It is aimed at beginners, but everyone is welcome.  Having talked to a number of people we have discovered that many of them feel their actually knowledge is not what it should be and therefore its open to all.   Following this on then 8th July will be our "Co- Create With Spirit", which  starts at 12 noon will  finishes at 4pm and then on the 13th July again our "Intuitive Ways with a Sketchbook".  1 pm to 5.30 pm.  The gnomes as well as the owls etc, are being made to raise fund to start our own Academy and we need to find other ways to raise funds so if you know of any halls in or around London  that are cheap to hire I would be grateful if you could either post on this blog or email rainbowhealingsantuary@hotmail.co.uk.  At the moment the fund is just £311 and we need to raise a lot ,more to get it off the ground,  Any ideas too you guys who do fund raising. If you are interested in buying any of our knitted goods and especially the gnomes and owls look on http://craftladyrainbow.blogspot.com or ring 07927 288904 or me.

 

 

 

 

Well these are two of the gnomes we have been auctioning to raise funds to fund our sanctuary.  This is amongst serving churches and organising workshops. Graham Watson has purchased two of these little fellows we call naughty gnomes and they have begun touring churches in around the country.....so watch out they may be coming to a church near you.  They have already visited Bognor Regis Spiritualist Church and then on to Hackbridge Spiritualist Church.  Graham has managed to keep these naughty gnomes under control, but who knows what will occur at the next churches he is serving on May 31st it will be Tolworth Spiritualist Church, which starts at 7pm and the address is 12a Princes Avenue, Tolworth, KT16 7JJ and then on the 1st June Graham will be at Walton Christian Spiritualist Church at 6.30 pm and the address is The Halfway, 143 Hersham Road, Walton, Surrey, KT12 1RW.  Then on the 4th June at Hounslow Spiritualist Church, 15 Hansworth Terrace, Hounslow TW3 3TS. Now up to now he has been able to control these little fellows, but what will happen nextime?  This we will have to wait and see. Now to the rest of the news and any more recommendations we have.  Our next workshop is on the 1st June at Woodford Spiritualist Church and starts at 12 noon "Co- Create With Spirit.  It finishes around 4 pm and then we will be going on to serve Barbara Barnes  little sanctuary on the Isle of Dogs which is at the Barkentine Hall in Westferry Road, London E14.  Who knows what might happen there as "Big Ted" (another ) wants to practice just in case he gets to go on the "Grand Gnome Tour". and Mr.Silly though he might put in an appearance.  On the 10th June we are back at Woodford Spiritual Church and this time with "Intuitive Ways with a Sketchbook" which starts at 1pm and finishes around 5.30 pm.(www.woodfordchurch.com).  Then we are at Stockwell on the 21st June with "Sound Healing with Colour" and there will be more details of that in our next post.  Those of you who have experienced our sound healing workshops know what energy they generate.  I have two more recommendations and they are both at Woodford Spiritualist Church.  The first is with Judith Thorne on the 7th June and it will start at noon " Spiritual Survival" and then on the 21st June a workshop with Roz Sharkaway "The Process of Alchemy".  Both in my opinion will be well worth attending as both these ladies have a wealth of knowledge which they are eager to share. All details can be found on the website of the church, which I have previously mentioned.  Lastly our latest piece of news, which we wish to share is that we will be running an Awareness Group in East London.  Although this is aimed at beginners everyone will be welcome.  Again there will be more details in our next post.  Incidental Judith will also be doing a workshop at the Blue Moon Spiritual Centre in Oxted, Surrey and I will be posting more details of that in one of our next posts. This centre is run by two lovely ladies Carole Pilcher and Sarah Sales.
 

 

The new" Intuitive Ways with a Sketchbook" is bring forth some amazing results these are the latest printings to be produce and the media is acrylic.  I will be showing just some of these done over the next few posts.  The one on the right is quite awesome and we couldn't believe this image when it presented itself.  I would be very interested to hear some of the comments in regard to this work.  please  post on the place for comments below.  We have now decided that these workshops will be held only once a month and the next one will be on June 10th

and the "Co Create with Spirit" will on the lst June which is a Sunday starting at 12 noon instead of 11am.  As many of you know we travel from the fringes of Kent to teach and this extra hour will give us a stress free journey.  We will also be reducing the price and we are hoping soon to start a course entitled "Make your Own Oracle Cards"  in the evening.  Dates to be announced.  Next Saturday 17th May we are at the "Blue Moon Spiritual Centre" with our "Sound Healing with Colour" workshop.  I believe that there might be a couple of places left so ring Sarah Sales on 07920763493 or Carole Pilcher on 07541992417 as I also believe Terry Bowen has a past life workshop on the 7th June.  Quite sad as we are already committed on the 7th June, but do watch out as this centre is about to grow.  Next Sunday at the Island of Light the little church run by Barbara Barnes in dockland is the special where readings will be offered at a very reasonable price plus massage with Rafia Ajaz.  The readers are Daniel Naughnane, Phil Warr plus some new readers who are Frank Villiers, Nancy Jade Althea plus a lady called Marcia whose last name I don't know and of course your truly.  Starts at 6.30 and the address is the Barkentine Hall, Westferry Road, London E14.   Before I close this post I would just like to mention two other workshops which will be worth while attending (I will be there myself all being well and so will Daniel.  The first is "Spiritual Survival" on the 7th June with Judith Thorne a very knowledgeable lady and equally knowledgeable is Roz Sharkaway on the 21st June "Alchemy of Sound".  More details can be found on www.woodfordchurch.com

 

Today I am adding a selection of pictures that have been produced up till now for our "Intuitive Ways With a Sketchbook".  This is an on going course and it isn't too late to join this exciting course as each day stands alone.  Last Tuesday we did some printmaking using the canvas that Mother Nature provides us with and some interest work was produced.  Here you will see a selection of this and those produced on the earlier workshops.  By the end of the day the energies had become so high we were rewards with orbs on the walls of the church.  It was all very,   very exciting as none of us had seen them before. This little print on the right look like there are two little owls sitting on a branch of a tree.  Hopefully after the next workshop we will show you even more example of work.  We are planning on holding the next one on 29th April, but due to the expected strike on the tubes there is a possibility we may be compelled to move it to the Thursday and hopefully this will be a one off.  Lets see what happens it will all be announced on the website and on the blog.  I have not yet checked whether we could  actually move it yet.  We have many more exciting ideas and ways of being creative.  Note you do not have to be able to draw to attend this course.  On April the 23rd we are back at one of our favourite churches Chingford, St.Francis Church, Hawkwood Crescent, London E4 7PH on the edge of Epping Forest where we always received such a warm welcome.  We are hoping to take Liz Gale with us again just so she can gain experience on the rostrum.  Liz is an excellent medium as well as a lovely human being and we hope soon she will be booked by churches in her own right.  On Sunday the 4th we are at Woodford Church (www.woodfordchurch.com) all way firstly giving those people who cannot attend the Tuesday day time course a chance to participate in a taster of the "Intuitive Ways with Printmaking", but of course the Tuesday Students can come as well as they know each day produces different work with the combined energies of the group.  These workshops are an exciting new way to work so please join us if you can.  We will then be taking the evening service.  On the following Tuesday we are at Petts Wood, but more details of that in our next post. Take a look at the pictures below and see what your intuition is telling you about these pictures and let us know.

 

We will be working with different medias and forms of art throughout this series of workshops as well as inspiring people to write and produce poems and prose.  If you want dates of workshops click on to www.woodfordchurch.com or this blog.  If you need more details please ring 07927 288904 or email us on rainbowhealingsanctuary@hotmail.co.uk  On the 25th April in the evening we are doing readings in Wimbledon along with Liz Gale, Nigel Irving,  Coleen Rechere and Sarah Jane. There will be some holistic treatments such as Reiki and Indian Head Massage available plus a book stall.  All readings and treatments £10.  The address is Merton Manor Club, 76 Kingston Road, Wimbledon, SW19 1LA.  Starts at 6 pm bound to be popular so arrive early. 

More Images

This is yet another image done on the 1st April and it really needs to be seen at different angles to get the full value of this piece of work,  There is an animal leaping up and an eye.  At one angle you can see a  figure on top of a column and if you could carefully you will see much more. I have enlarged the section with the figure on top of a column as it will be interest to here comments and if you compare these with those I posted on my previous post you can see how different they are. Below is another and the next time we are hoping to work with print making and no skills are needed as we will teach you everything you need to know.  Come and let your inner child be creative.  Our next workshop is on the Tuesday15th April and will start at 1pm to 5.30pm. You will be seeing lots of different images during the course and I will be showing different students work.  If you can't make this we will be having a one off Sunday workshop on May 4th from 1pm to around 4.30 pm. Followed by us taking the service in the evening.  So why not make a day of it.  These workshops all take place at Woodford Spiritualist Church so please come and join us.  Another small advanced notice we are at the White Rose Sanctuary on the 6th May, which is situated at Petts Wood very near the station.  We love this sanctuary as you are always guaranteed a warm welcome by Chris and Alan Oborne plus Jackie Nye. Admission here is only £3 and £5.   The auction on facebook is going quite well and we have been offered lots of love goodies from a past life regression session, readings, crochet dog coats, crystal healing sessions and pampers from www.ssalon.co.uk We will be offering more knitted toys plus, a party booking for 6 people and a workshop in your own home for 10 to 12 people. http://rainbowhealingsanctuary.co.uk
