TAROT WORKSHOP – STEPHANIE BEE
An introduction to using the Tarot with your intuition for your self-development.
The workshop will run for approximately 3 hours, and will begin with a relaxation after the introduction.
Looking at the journey of the Fool through the major arcana.

Participants will be given a chance to do their own little reading for themselves,  using what they see in the cards to guide it. I will give out a handout with a few key words only to help. It is not intended to be some heavy session or a teaching session, so to keep it light hearted, it will be visual throughout, no books.

The session will close with another quick relaxation, Afterwards there will be time for participants to exchange experiences. I also have plenty of easy going oracle cards; so people can pull one out as a little, light hearted message to end the session. We will give free 10 min taster readings to those who have been on the workshop. We will get round this by giving them a token and making slots available throughout the festival only for these readings.

We where thinking of doing 2 workshops if possible depending on demand, there would also have to be limited space, about 10 people per session.

ALTERNATIVE ANSWERS WORKSHOPS – DARREN DEOJEE

Learning to See Again
Enter the world of shamans, mystics, seers and visionaries: perceiving the self and world as living energy.  This perception was natural to us all at birth but we lost it as we grew in the world, at this event you will learn powerful techniques of how to undo this and work towards SEE'ing the world again, instead of just 'looking' at it.

Secrets of Sound
The recent hunger for symbol-cracking and code-breaking is a natural urge, only we are looking at the wrong codes, the wrong symbols, if we truly want to set ourselves free. The only codes and symbols which can truly enlighten and liberate us are not those buried on a lost tablet 5000 years ago, but the ones which surround us every day, then ones which we use.  These are the geometric shapes and sounds we call ‘language’ and the power to trap and contain the mind and soul, or liberate it, lie equally locked within them.  With the Secrets of Sound we delve into the subconscious secrets of language and uncover some amazing hidden keys which have been 'magically left' for us.  This class is simply revelatory!

The Lost Word
The Lost Word is the highest secret of freemasonry and judaism - it is reputed to have been 'lost' long ago through the practice of 'not writing it down', here, for the first time in over a thousand years, the Lost Word is revealed for everyone to use and understand, as it was always intended.

This Word is the oldest and first name for what is now called ‘God’ that our species has.  It belongs to all humanity and it requires no translation because it is not a ‘word’ in any language.  This Word was reputed to contain the power to liberate all and much more besides.  Even the hints are a mere shadow compared to the potential reality.  Open your mind, open your heart, and prepare to find out what ‘In the Beginning Was The Word’ actually means. Are you ready for The Word?

SONIC MEDITATION – Andrea McCool

Andrea McCool, modern day mystic began her quest of truth and alternative being in her early teens,  “the punk revolution proved that rules can and should be broken . The late 70’s punk helped heal the racial tension in Britain, and that took a lot of love.” explains Andrea. In  1987  Andrea travelled to Italy where she met up with Charlie an Alchemist; and was introduced  to the magic of healing; and phenomena such as ESP, magnetism  and energy projection. “Charlie taught me that  healing was an art form (creative energy channelled) magic! ”.

On returning to England in the mid 90’s, Andrea continued the study of the healing arts and was introduced to the crystal bowls, she continued healing and started playing. In 2000, she founded Sonic Meditation and began to give talks,  head workshops and perform at festivals. 2004 saw the release of ‘Detox’, a CD which sold out in a year. A recognized teacher of the crystal bowls claims that this is  Andrea’s calling . She concludes by adding, “Healing is an art and art is love, and love is magic otherwise it is all science,  for me.” She states, “It’s all about love!”

Introduction to the crystal bowls and sonic meditation  (1 hour  30 mins)

The workshop will start with the basic science behind the bowls and their use in holistic medicines, such as sound healing, creating gem elixirs and preparing herbal remedies.
Creative visualisation and sound interactive exercise to reduce stress. Chakra balancing  Playing certain bowls can relax certain energy centres i.e. the C bowl when played acts directly on the base chakra
Hands on; opportunity to play a bowl and ask questions.
As this is the first workshop at this venue on the crystal bowls . Time and space are of the essence, I have simplified the workshop to be interesting, and open to all.
