Intentions not accomplished

We hope everybody is enjoying the weather.  I must admit its far too hot for me.  We have nothing much in the pipeline re workshops ourselves at the moment, although I keep thing about a pop up workshop and also I would like to participate in the craftanoon for Mind.Uk, but need a venue preferably in East London.  The pop up workshop could be any venue which is suitable. 

We would like to remind you that Alan Albiston will be doing a workshop for us on the 20th July in Epping and I really do think we are so fortunate in being able to hire such a lovely space.  Our afternoon workshops seem to be doing well in as much as they are being enjoyed and better still the participants are learning different tools even if some are very basic.  The photograph on here above on the left is from the afternoon with water scrying and I wonder what you can see.  This was part of the workshop, but what was left when Daniel cleaning the herbs away from the bowl, which we both found quite interesting.  We intend to go on with various mini workshops like this using tools for both intuition and linking into spirit.

I decided today to take a look at our intentions which were set earlier this year and I am afraid we are not doing too well as so far Daniel has accomplished numbers 4, 6, 9 .  and 11.  Mine are worse so far numbers 2, 4 and 7

Daniel's Intentions

1.   Getting organised (de-clutter) rooms, kitchen, craft and workshop materials.
2.   Having a place for everything (and everything in it's place)
3.   Improving sleep pattern  (early night - early start)
4.   Rationalise cuttings (newspapers and magazines)
5.   Making time for personal communication with guides
6.   Make more time for creativity
7.   Do some home baking
8.   Visit new churches

10.  See new mediums
11.  Learn a needle craft
12.  Learn my human anatomy
13.  Attend another course with Daniel Mapel
14.  Driving lessons
15.  Attend another workshop with Ian White

Pat's Intentions

1.  Clearing the clutter from our home
2.  Go to workshops with new tutors
3.  Visit a new church once a month
4.  Learn to do needle felting
5.  Learn to do arm knitting
5.  Lose weight
6.  Create new creative spiritual workshops
7.  Pay it forward once a week
8.  One day a week for us doing something we both want to do.
9.  Start my Book of Shadows
10. Move home
11. Finding somewhere permanent for the Rainbow Healing Sanctuary
12. Walking at least 20 minutes a day when the weather gets better.
13. Go on the second part of the practitioners course with Daniel Mapel (Ian White next)
14. Get to grips with Amigurumi (possibly go on a course)
15. Learn Ikebana

So we have decided to rethink and the one thing we have accomplished is the needle felting and managing to get to some new workshops.  We are going to the Wool and Textile Festival this weekend at the Woodlands Farm on both Saturday and Sunday.  There are some mini workshops including felting, Tunisian crocheting and origami See mini picture on the right (https://seyalondon.wordpress.com/contact/).  I felt the following very interesting so I have added this link (https://www.sciencealert.com/modern-life-is-brutal-here-s-why-craft-is-so-good-for-our-health).  Take a look and let us know your opinion.

 

 

Firstly I would like to wish everyone a blessed Solstice and a welcome to the sun.  We are having such strangle weather it is almost monsoon. 

It seems to be a time of decision and we cannot decided whether we ought to branch out to different venues and let the Rainbow Healing Sanctuary be one of movement, but it is of course finding suitable economic venues as hiring a space can be somewhat costly. We will keep you updated. 

We would like to remind you we have a workshop tomorrow at Epping at our usual venue in the peace of the "Friends Meeting House"  in Hemnall Street, which will be facilitated by Daniel Naughnane and a few meditations by your truly.  So remember Saturday 22nd of June at 1.30 (doors open at 1 pm). It will be a very relaxing day which we hope will release a lot of stress and connect you to Mother Earth.  I believe Sharon Law has a workshop at Woodford to on Saturday and if you are free on the Jeanie Jackson has a workshop on 23rd again at Woodford. Tuesday afternoon we will be having our mini workshop which will start at 3.30 pm and finish at 6.30 pm, which will be water readings some something for everyone.  Our Progressive awareness group and our closed circle will be then too.   So please take a look at the website. (www,woodfordchurch.com). 

I would also like to share the following  piece of prose, which was produced by one of our closed circle Carol Winmill.  It's excellent and I must add we are very proud of our students who have worked very hard to attain the level they are at now.

" Listen to the joy of your own heartbeat,
   Your rhythm of life.
   Communicate with your spirit,
   Feel the vibration of communication.
   Be it verbal or via the soul.
   Feel the rhythm - live your true life.
   Speak to your spirit,
   Hear what it has to say,
   Live your true life.
   Don’t let disharmony interrupt your true path.
   Listen to your heart, listen to your guides.

   Your problems are challenges waiting to be achieved.

   We can have all we want just ask the universe it gives us all in    abundance

   Just show her you deserve it, show her how good it feels to have it,

   Show her and it’s yours."

Another one of the students wrote on her blog another follow the link to read it. Written by Sarah Sheppard and well worth reading

 We are really looking forward to taking them on the platform with us on Monday 15th July and as I have told them no pressure if they get messages great and if not it they can feel what it is like with a congregation. 

I am also very pleased with the bowl above and I would like to thank Faye Luminesence Lamb from  Unravel and Unwind.  Incidentally she will be having another workshop on July 7th in Rochester, which we are hoping to get too.  In my next post I will be mentioning about events at Woodlands Farm next weekend, which are taking place over the whole weekend including felting and Tunisian crocheting.  More news of that in next post.

 

 

 

 

 

Felting and other things

Our Progressive Awareness Group is now meeting every week but on alternate Tuesdays and Thursdays.  This Tuesday coming we will be the first of our Tuesdays and the day will start with a mini workshop "Getting Back to Basics"
The classes start at 11.30 in the morning and we will be there until 8.30 in the evening on those days so our timetable will be as follows.  As I said its  starting tomorrow that is our Progressive Awareness Group [plus our closed circle (www.woodfordchurch.com)

The following is our timetable for this month

Tuesday 25th June   Same as above  
Circles both days same time  7.00 pm  to 8.30 pm
 Thursday 20th June  just evening circle times as above

I will be announcing dates here every month as they may vary depending on numbers.  I am never sure how many people can attend during the day, but we thought it gave those unable to attend in the evening the opportunity. 

Also on the 20th June at Woodford Spiritualist Church is am afternoon in aid of the church charity, which is the air ambulance and the medium will be Mike Matthews so do come along and support it.  Starts at 2 pm and entrance is £3 (see church website www.woodfordchurch.com).

Our next event at Epping is on the 22nd June and will be starting at 1.30 pm, but the doors will open half an hour before this for met and greet (all levels welcome). 

The two pictures on here are from our trip to Rochester last weekend.  The one at the top is Rochester Castle and the one on the right is of two people obviously off to the Dickens Festival, which is held annually and well worth a visit.  We were there however on a felting course with Faye Luminesence Lamb and we will hopefully be back there on 7th July all being well for her next class. You saw Daniel's beautiful creation last week well this is mine above on the left.     

 

 

New challenges

It certainly has turned warm and I from my own point of view I will feel much better when the weather has cooled down.  I know lots of you relish this weather sorry guys I don't has my poor legs have taken a battering.

Just a reminder to say this month we start our new all day workshops this month and everybody is welcome. Our circles starting tomorrow 6th of June.  We will be doing alternate weeks that is to say one week Thursday evening and the next Tuesday evening.  plus a series of workshops on the Tuesday once a month, which will encompass a whole range of subjects including auras, colour, pendulums, scrying including  water readings and sand readings  etcetera including of course linking with spirit. The classes start at 11.30 in the morning and we will be there until 8.30 in the evening on those days so our timetable will be as follows.  As I said its  starting tomorrow that is our Progressive Awareness Group and our closed circle (www.woodfordchurch.com)

The following is our timetable

Thursday 6th June      )    Tuesday 11th June    )

Tuesday 25th June    )

 

Then on Tuesday's 11.30 am to  2.30 pm

                                 3.30 pm to 6.30 pm

Don't forget also Paul Bathgate has a six week course starting on the 11th June at 7.30 to 8.30.  Totally different to what we are teaching.  Only£3 a session and I know Paul will make you very welcome.  Note also the church has healing on Wednesdays and two services during the week with a different medium each time.  I believe popular Alan Albiston and Mike Matthews both have workshops on the 15th June and details of these will be in a later post. 

We enjoyed our felting course with Faye Luminesence Lamb in Rochester and we are certainly looking forward to the next one in July. You can see from above picture Daniel made a beautiful goddess for me.  Lets hope we don't have transport problems coming back.  As it hasn't been our week transport wise.  Having got stuck on the Central Line for 40 minutes in the heat during an unfortunate incident and then having a train cancelled when we arrived at Swanley on Sunday. 

I am also thinking of knitting some more shamanic rattles if anyone is interested as the colours add to the vibration. 

Focus Inner Eye and more

We are pleased to inform everyone that there is going to be a new structure to our workshops and our circle starting from next week the 6th of June.  We will be doing alternate weeks that is to say one week Thursday evening and the next Tuesday evening.  plus a series of workshops on the Tuesday once a month, which will encompass a whole range of subjects including auras, colour, pendulums, scrying including  water readings and sand readings  etcetera including of course linking with spirit. The classes start at 11.30 in the morning and we will be there until 8.30 in the evening on those days so our timetable will be as follows. 

These are the dates below as I said starting on the 6th June with our Progressive Awareness Group and our closed circle (www.woodfordchurch.com)

Thursday 6th June      )   
Tuesday 11th June    )
Thursday 20th June  )      Times 7 pm to 8.30 pm
Tuesday 25th June    )
 
Then on Tuesday's 11.30 am to  2.30 pm
                                 3.30 pm to 6.30 pm

Do note there are lots of circles and workshops at Woodford Spiritualist Church and my advise to anyone joining a circle is to try them all as each teacher is unique and will teach in their own way (www.woodfordchurch.com).  There are circles on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday as well as a new six week course with Paul Bathgate starting on the 11th June from 7.30 pm until 9 pm (no need to book) entitled " Foundation Course In Self Development and Mediumship "

I would also like to recommend a workshop tomorrow at St. Albans Spiritualist Church with Alan Albiston (see picture above)  Alan is an excellent medium and teacher.  The workshop is only £15 and starts at noon.  For more details visit their website (http://sasc.webs.com).

Our next workshop at Epping will be on the 22nd June at 1.30 pm with doors opening at 1 pm and is entitled " Drawing With the Inner Eye " with Daniel Naughnane

I found several interesting bits on the internet which I thought might interest people some abut creativity and others to do with the trees plus one relating to music, which I felt I had to share (https://bigthink.com/news/ever-get-the-tingles-from-listening-to-good-music-that-part-of-your-brain-will-never-get-lost-to-alzheimers).  Now to the creativity, which I find very interesting (https://www.artsprofessional.co.uk/news/even-minimal-creative-activity-boosts-wellbeing-research-finds).  Now to my great love of trees and I know Carol Winmill,  Gillian Holland and Alan Albiston will resonate with me on this  (https://returntonow.net/2018/04/29/trees-have-a-heartbeat-scientists-discover/) and this piece too (http://soultravelrules.com/2018/09/29/study-says-trees-have-feelings-like-to-cuddle-and-look-after-each-other-like-an-old-couple/ and finally for those of you and your pets this may come as a surprise or not (https://consciousreminder.com/2018/06/11/scgence-confirms-that-nats-and-dogs-can-see-spirits-and-frequancies-that-humans-cant/)

We are looking forward to our trip to Rochester to felt a fairy or an angel with Faye Luminesence Lamb of Unravel and Unwind. 

                   

            

            

 

 

The times they are a changing

Quoting a song by Dylan "the times they are a changing" in our case the circles times and what we are doing.  As some students can't make Thursday nights we have decided to alternate weeks that is to say one week Thursday and another on Tuesday plus doing an all day session for those who cannot make the evenings.  We will still be running our closed circle and the progressive awareness group.  These changes will start on the Tuesday the 11th of June.  We will publish each month the days so you can't get confused and also put them on facebook. Anyone who would like them emailed please comment below or message me on yourcreativeself@outlook.com or text 07927 288904.  Watch for these in our next post. 

We are not doing too well with some of our intentions.  I am sure some of you will remembers we set some of these earlier this year.  We have managed to add a new tutor to our list last weekend and are looking out for workshops with new tutors.  We have not however visited any new churches and we will this coming month endeavour to do this.  However we are learning felting both wet and dry in various workshops and with different tutors and on Sunday 2nd June we will be heading for Rochester to do a workshop with Faye Luminesence Lamb of Unravel and Unwind to felt an angel or fairy.  Its also Dickens weekend in Rochester so anything could happen. 

In one of the next two posts we will also be reviewing a CD called Legacy with Reg Miles plus letting you know anymore interesting workshops. Talking about CDs we still have our meditation CD for sale https://youtu.be/3BoJH9moddI.
Don't forget Alan Albiston has a workshop on the 1st June at St.Albans Church and we have asked Alan to do a similar work at Epping in July. 
I found a couple of interesting bits which one about trees and the other in relation to creativity the latter which really resonates with me and you may well find with yourselves.  I will be very interested in what you think (https://bigthink.com/personal-growth/art-life-skill).  Next the one about trees and this will interest Gillian Holland and Alan Albiston (ww.wakingtimes.com/2018/11/26/ecologist-says-trees-talk-to-each-other-in-a-language-we-can-learn/)

A Colourful Life

Our next workshop is " Intuition and Colour" which starts at about 2.30 pm on Sunday 26th May. It is workshop suitable for all levels and will help you link in intuitively as well as using it for your own everyday life to enhance well being.  After all Great Spirit did not put the colours here by accident.  Before this we have a workshop with Terry Finnegan entitled "Finding Yourself  Through Colour" which starts at noon and finishes at 2 pm. He has come to me highly recommended so I will be interested to see what transpires. So come to one or both of the workshops (www.woodfordchurch.com).

 Our next workshop at Epping is on the 22nd June and its " Drawing with the Inner Eye" No need to be able to draw and is suitable for all levels.   Starts at 1.30 pm, but doors open at 1 pm for meet and greet. The venue is the Friends Meeting House, Hemnall Street, Epping, CM16 4LL, which we are so lucky to be able to hire.  This venue has such a special energy and atmosphere it wonderful.  One workshop I will recommend to you is with Alan Albiston on the 1st June at St. Alban Spiritual Church "Working with Energies and Auras".  It starts at 12 noon.  I have also asked Alan to repeat this workshop at Epping on the 20th of July so those of you who can't get to this one can come to Hemnall Street (See picture of Alan at the Island of Light).  We also have a workshop booked with Lucya Starza on making poppets at Epping on October 5th again it will probably start at 1.30 pm.

We are looking forward to the workshop in Rochester on the at 2nd of June with Unravel and Unwind.  Especially as it's the Dickens Festival , which is always fun.  We will be making an angel or fairy in felting and we are also going to Greenwich Market on the 28th May between 11 am and 3 pm to felt strawberries with Mec and Marcia.  No doubt we will be updating you early next week on the workshops.
