So What Next

Well it been another strange week, but I have received some lovely goodies toward my Mexican Heart project from Gilliangladrag in Dorking. She certainly has some lovely things in her shop. Once lockdown is over abc it’s safe I think I will be making a trip there. In my next post I will be sharing some goodies I got from Unravel and Unwind in Rochester. 
This is not a 100%, but there is a possibility that we may be able to recommence our workshops at Epping in late September with a workshop with either Alan Albiston  or ourselves. We will have limited places and we may have to charge a wee big more to cover and extra cost. At the moment it looks as if we can’t use the kitchen, but we can either bring our own flask or go to Poppy’s. It would also mean social distancing and therefore numbers allowed would be around 10 or 12 which would mean it had to be booked and paid for. We are still hoping to go forward with Les and Jacky Fuller’s workshop on 3rd October depending on what transpires in the way of new guidelines. Our sound healing workshop sadly at the moment will need to be cancelled.  We will however have two developments workshops both totally different. If you would be interested please let me know as places will be limited. I am even considering running two workshops at the end of that month or one at the start of October if necessary (in other words it’s a moveable feast.  We need to see if this virus spikes again before making any decisions for as much as we would love to resume workshops the safety of all has to be our first consideration. I have also decided I will include a picture of what I bought at from Faye Luminesence Lamb from Unravel and Unwind. Lovely little needle cases.

Next Step Forward

Well who know when we will be able to have physical workshops again. At the moment the whole idea seems a long while ahead and in honesty I have not given up on the idea of an October workshop with Les and Jacky Fuller., but I am waiting to see if we can hire the space. Hopefully we will know by the end of this month.. We would have space here to do social distancing. Places would of course be given to those people who have supported at this venue in the past or are members of our Whats App Group which is growing not only in numbers but support for one another . In fact some seem to have made new friends, which is lovely.
We are busily still decluttering plus trying to get to grips wit what we should and shouldn’t keep. I am also trying to get to grips also with making Mexican Hearts as seen here and hope at some later stage to run a workshop on making them. I  also trying to research the history and origins of these hearts. Some of those I have seen are quite spectacular.
I  also doing an online course in art therapy as I do feel when this is all gone back to whatever normal has become it will be something which is needed. Some are suffering badly from what is being called “cabin fever” having not being able to move from their own homes.  In fact we went out for the first time last Tuesday., we will update this blog regularly giving you updates meanwhile keep safe.

Workshops and all that

 Well hopefully very soon we will be able to go back to holding workshops at Epping even if it means social distancing to do so. I won’t know until next month, but it will mean we can start to plan events although I am sure we will need to set out a few rules and regulations in regard to social distancing, the toilets and the kitchen use. Let’s wait and see. Yesterday we made our first trip out to do a wee bit of shopping plus a trip to my foot angel and I am happy to report my feet are now more comfortable and I can walk again. We next went to the post office to send some packages and post letters to Spain and Ireland amongst others. At least two packages had hearts in them and I have been busily knitting mire , but I have now discovered Mexican Hearts thanks to GIlliangladrags (find her on Instagram) and I will post the link to her video at the end of this post. I will be making some as soon as I have all the materials I need to compete the project they are so pretty and I will be doing some research on their origins as I had not encountered them before, but they are delightful.
Our What’s App group is going very well and I am convinced that members are benefitting not only in the spiritual sense, but during these weird unpredictable times it is also giving support to those who would have otherwise been cut off spiritually.
I would also ask all of you to send healing to our Carol Winmill wishing  her good luck with her trip to the hospital tomorrow and that she also gets some joy with finding out exactly what is wrong.
Here as promised is the link to the video (https://youtu.be/lz0N4o20aIo) and below is a picture purchase I made from a Mexican Shop. Isn’t it lovely. I am  going to be making some.

Now what next

Things at least are getting settled if not somewhat not actually the way we would have chosen although we  know that in regard to Woodford Spiritualist Church the President Iris Klein and the committee have done the right thing. In fact we would like to congratulate Iris in having the foresight to close the church when she did. Sadly it will now not be be reopening until January 2021 so we will have no closed circle nor awareness group until then nor will there be services or workshops as it was not feasible to do all had to be done to insure the safety of everybody who attended the church whether for workshops, services or indeed healing. We look forward to it opening up again next year and I  sure it will be a big celebration plus a huge thanks to Iris.
We are now awaiting a decision from Epping and we might (not promising guys) that we will be able to run a few workshops there. We hade got Lez and Jack Fuller booked on the 3rd October. We sincerely hope this does not get cancelled meanwhile until we know what is possible We can only hold fire until then . When we know the situation we will of course be be updating everyone.
Our best news is our What’s App group which we are running three times a week had developed the most amazing pier and it is so rewarding to see the support members are showing each other and with that in mind can we all send healing to both Carol and Dandie at tnr moment with the pain I their lives both mentally had physically.
We have been busy knitting hearts to distribute when all this mayhem has cease. Juan Carlos and his fiancĂ© Carmen will be distributing them as soon as they can. Although we haven’t yet posted them. 
They new cards below we will be using in our new workshop first opportunity we get and no doubt in our WhatsApp Group, which now number twenty.
