ANTHONY THORLEY ~ EXPLORING LANDSCAPE ZODIACS (14/01/09) Many people know about the famed Glastonbury Zodiac but there are at least forty other zodiacs identified in the English countryside. Anthony Thorley, who is researching these fascinating landscape images and their energies, will take you on an illustrated journey through the history of their origins and many associated myths and legends. If you live on the Glastonbury Zodiac, have you ever thought it might be subtly influencing your life in a form of living astrology or do you find that idea a complete nonsense? Anthony will be taking your questions about this intriguing zodiac phenomenon which seems to bring sky and earth together in a kind of celestial alchemy.

JOSEPH HILL ~ FOREST GARDENS AND MAGICAL EDIBLE LANDSCAPES (21/01/09) Why do the monks, the holy ladies and gentleman, the yogis go to the forest? Perhaps for the peace, the tranquility, the simplicity, being surrounded by an abundance of good vibrations, nature settles peace on the soul, and we feel good, at ease. Not all of us want to give it up and dwell in the depths of the forest, if we could find any! The beauty is, we can co-create a sanctuary, a sacred space, a space of love, within and without, on a mountainside, a window-sill, in a backyard or on a balcony. Such is a forest garden. Such is a magical edible landscape.

MICHAELA O'DRISCOLL ~ THE HEALING POWER OF CRYSTAL SOUND (11/03/09) Come and join us for an experiential evening of crystal sound healing including a guided meditation. The following information is taken directly from Michaela's website www.crystalbowls.net
"My clients react in different ways to the sounds of the bowls. After hearing the crystalline music people may remain in a very deep state for some time. It is during this time that the deepest and most profound healing may take place. It is important to come around gradually and gently. The pure crystal tone can reach, inspire and move us to great depths in body, heart and spirit. There is a magic and luminescence that is hard to describe. There is the medicine quality of sound, light, prayer and healing intention combined. It is a very high vibration. Many people have reported life-changing experiences after the crystal sound healing sessions and a profound sense of well being and peace. Each bowl represents a note of the octave which resonates with a specific chakra and colour of the rainbow. The crystal sound harmonises and revitalizes the chakras which are vortices of energy within the body."

ADAM STOUT ~ A LONG WALK TO GLASTONBURY (25/03/09) Eleven days were 'lost' when the Government changed the calendar in 1752, and a lot of people were very perturbed by it. When was the 'real' Christmas, they asked? How would they find out?
Glastonbury seemed to have the answer, in the form of a miraculous thorn tree that flowered on Christmas Day. All over the land people gathered anxiously around cuttings of the famous Thorn to see whether it would stay true to the old calendar, and blossom on Old Christmas Day, or cave in to parliament and blossom on the New one. 71-year-old John Jackson from Wakefield in Yorkshire went one better, and decided to go to Glastonbury and find out for himself. On foot, and through the mud and the mire and the floods of an eighteenth century winter.
There's something about his nutty journey that I found deeply inspiring, and so this December I'm going to be walking in his footsteps, across industrial middle England, surveying the same terrain from the other side of the Industrial Revolution and musing upon Glastonbury and pilgrimage and change, and no doubt sore feet as well, with a whole range of interesting people. I'm hoping to write a book about the journey, and will be sharing the first fruits with the Positive Living group.

MICHAEL ORCHARD ~ THE MYTH-STORIES OF AVALON. AN EPIC JOURNEY THROUGH THE MILLENNIA (22/04/09) For as far back as history goes, Glastonbury - Avalon - Yns Wytrin has been held as one of the sacred places of the British Isles. Written records go back barely 1000years but myth and legend take us back through the mists of time to an other worldly paradise isle in times now long forgotten. Over the centuries the myths, the legends, and the history have been woven together creating a fascinating pageant where time and time again a particular archetypal story plays itself out in the Avalonian landscape.
The Avalonian story mirrors one of humanity's deepest urges, that is, to find the truth of our own existence. Who are we and why are we here? The recurrent themes show us three things: the constant play of the light and the dark forces, the perilous quest in which all must be surrendered to find the precious grail, and a landscape full of magical symbolism.
In this presentation, Michael will take you on a mystical journey through the last 5000 years, linking together all the stories, all the characters and showing how the divine drama is once again being re-enacted with all of us as the actors, creating the new myths and legends.
From the ancient days of the High Priestesses, and the Zodiac builders, through to the Druids, and the Lake Village people, a deep spiritual patterning was imprinted here. Gwynn Ap Nudd guarded the gate of the otherworld, and the worlds of faery, nymph and driad were felt and known .Later came Joseph and the early Christians, St Bride St Patrick, and St Dunstan. The great King Arthur gathered the people of Wessex, and Avalon became his spiritual home; it is here that he lies (in spirit at least) awaiting his rebirth when the true destiny of Britain will once again be honoured and recognised.
The waters of the blood spring and the Tor springs flowed freely and brought healing and insight, the Abbey fell, but spirit remained, biding her time for the next chapter. A hundred years ago the new Avalonians arrived, Dion Fortune, Alice Buckton, Bligh Bond, Tudor Pole, and began creating the foundations of a new age, when Avalon shall rise again like the phoenix from the ashes of the old. And so to the present, as the phoenix actually awakens, light and dark battle it out as ever, there is chaos and uncertainty but through this the light begins to burn more and more brightly.
Come along and enjoy this amazing story, let yourself be lulled into the ageless magic of this place, and see how the Avalonian story is once again unfolding in our midst.
KIMBERLEY LOVELL ~ THE MAGIC OF EMOTRANCE (29/04/09) Imagine if you will the ability to accept all of your life experiences easily and naturally. EmoTrance is a simple yet powerful healing technique from the field of Energy Psychology and was developed by Sylvia Hartmann in 2002. Like all Energy Psychology tools, EmoTrance, like EFT transforms so called "negative emotions" by releasing the underlying energy disturbance within your system and restoring its natural healthy flow. The principles behind this are that "The source of all negative emotion is a disruption in the body's energy system. "Everything is Energy" and "Everything can nourish us." When we learn to "flow" with life and all of its experiences, we gain clarity, wisdom, peace, joy and maturity.
EmoTrance ™ teaches you how to consciously use your intention and grow from all of life's energies and experiences. EmoTrance empowers you to recognize your wholeness, release your needs and attachments, thereby mastering your emotional state, and freeing yourself to create the life you desire. Harnessing the power of EmoTrance we are able to use the law of attraction to consciously create the life of our dreams as we align our energy with that which we desire and aspire to and bring it into existence.
Why is EmoTrance different?
EmoTrance connects you in a very powerful way with your body, its energy system and the unconscious mind. EmoTrance requires no naming of issues, no conscious memory of trauma and works gently with the body and its energy, enabling you to connect with stuck energy and feelings that may be linked to unconscious or repressed memories without having to relive the painful story. As you allow these energies to soften and flow, so you return to your natural state of health and wellbeing.
Kimberley Lovell is a Transpersonal Psychotherapist, Author, Trainer and Supervisor practicing and teaching Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, Energy Psychology (EFT and EmoTrance), NLP, and Life Coaching. www.soulutions.uk.com
