We hope you have been able to enjoy what has been the best spring for a number of years. The trees are now in full leaf and the flowers on the plants and trees has been spectacular. How the birds have enjoyed it too – something they tell us every morning with their amazingly beautiful dawn chorus.
Since the last mailout we've created and planted another section of our peace garden, but there's still a huge amount left to do. To prepare a bed we have to remove the gravel, cut away the weed-suppressing membrane, remove 5cm of sand, and cut away the polythene sheeting – all before spade even gets into the ground which hasn't seen the light of day for perhaps 20 years. Phew, it is exhausting but the results will be beautiful, especially when the tons of free horse manure we are digging in begins to work its magic.

19:30 to 22:00, Cost £12 inc refreshments
Blue Star Celestial with Mark
As described by John Williams, who is recognised as the originator of the system, Blue Star Celestial "is a transmission of spiritual ability to bridge the gap between God and man - the Rainbow Bridge - enabling the adept to utilise this potential and to function at expanded levels of awareness. Maintaining a profound sense of balance between mind and heart is the key to the utilisation and manifestation of this energy".
The class includes techniques for inter-time Journeying as well as basic and advanced Merkaba breathing to expand the lightbody.
Blue Star Celestial training is offered in three levels. The Practitioner level training (2-day class) is open to anyone involved in healing. The Master Practitioner level training (1-day class) is open only to Reiki Master Practitioners. The Master Teacher level training (1-day class), which confers the ability to teach and pass on the energies of Blue Star Celestial, is only open to Blue Star Celestial Master Practitioners.
The next Practitioner class is on Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th October, cost is £200.00 including lunch.

Reiki Classes
We currently have very few scheduled Reiki classes and most of our teaching is provided on a 1-2-1 basis. This seems to be better suited to most people's diary commitments and the content can be more specific to an individual's requirements. If you are interested in a class please contact us (see below) as Mark continues to teach at all levels.
Reiki Share
This will be an opportunity to share your experiences, get answers to questions and gain more confidence in your Reiki practice. You will have the opportunity to give and receive healing during the evening. This group meets on the 2nd Wednesday each month from 20:00 to 21:30, starting on September 14th.
Bright Blessings to you all from
