Beyond 2012

Steve Judd

Beyond 2012 Heading into the final third of 2012, how do the astrological predictions for this most anticipated of years hold up?

Steve Judd (MA Cultural Astronomy and Astrology) will look at both the global situation as well as the lives of those people still going through the mixer at this time from an astrological perspective and suggest positive ways of manifesting the energies currently coursing their way through our lives.

With over 35,000 readings under his belt, Steve is well placed to comment on the ongoing (and accelerating!) consciousness revolution, and he will project forward in terms of the human project as it gravitates towards its seemingly natural destination in the future and look at times ahead beyond the current crisis that humanity is undergoing.

The Whale Whisperer A whale of a tale! A journey to Empowerment.

Madeleine Walker

Madeleine will discuss the importance of the role of animals for mankind and
The planet and describe her journey of discovery, connecting not only with domestic pets and horses in the UK and internationally but also with wild creatures in their natural habitat around the world. She has worked with Humpback whales Dolphins Whale Sharks Giant Manta Rays Elephants and White Lions all giving her vital messages that she channels for the future of the earth and its inhabitants. She is also an expert and pioneer in the past life connections between animals and their owners and how our animals commit to return to us in our soul groups to continue their healing roles. Very often Madeleine is called in to communicate with an animal who is displaying either physical or behavioural problems when frequently; the animal is flagging up an issue with its owner that needs addressing. Madeleine also works as an empowerment coach for people so a follow on session for the human carer can help to resolve the issues. The animals are so keen to help us get back on track to start working with the planet as opposed to against it. The great white lions in South Africa ask us to be lion hearted in our endeavours to heal the planet. Madeleine will be discussing this and many more messages including the new White Whale Collective Unity Consciousness for 2012 and beyond. Timely advice from this immense energy at this momentous time in the planets history.
Madeleines book An Exchange of Love animals healing people in past present and future lifetimes, published by O Books, is her first book. Her second book is The Whale Whisperer .healing messages from the animals to help mankind and the planet published by Findhorn Press which describes her journeys around the world connecting with wild species and visiting sacred sites.

todays speeding and intense world?

leading expert in creativity and spirituality, will show us the
secrets of eldership and how we can develop them to serve
our wellbeing spiritual growth and help others. He will
describe the core stages of eldership and encourage us to
pass through them regardless of our actual physical age.
From his recent book The New Ages of Men Nick will use
examples of eldership in indigenous people around the
world and apply them to the context and culture of today.
He will describe the five essential paradoxes of eldership:
To have values and not take ourselves too seriously
To be optimistic and stand for radical positive change
To be self-aware and serve others
To be charismatic and powerful balanced with compassion
and empathy
To be strong yet vulnerable

incorporate simple spiritual practices which will help you
on the path to eldership.

Fortunes Fool or From Here To Eternity

Paula Brookes

Fortunes Fool or From Here To Eternity
Journeying towards the Nameless Entirety… which, it is said,
“… has no name, but comes by whatever name we call Him”.

The presentation is an exploration of the pitfalls and heights of a spiritual journey.

It will be illustrated with words from the wise as well as snapshots from personal experience and writings, including the years spent working as a professional clown.

We will consider the following:

HUMAN LONGING
KUNDALINI
TO GURU OR NOT TO GURU?
WHAT DOES SCIENCE THINK OF GOD?
NERVOUS BREAKDOWNS
THE PSYCHIC
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT: IS IT MEASURABLE?
COMMON SENSE
WALKING THE WALK: PERSONAL DESTINY
A SENSE OF HUMOUR IS REQUIRED

After studying modern languages and losing of the love of my life I first went to India in the early 70’s.

This was the first of many journeys which eventually, and at times extremely tortuously, lead to a career as a clown.

These days I write, sing (mainly Indian classical), teach yoga and practise the Bowen technique and other therapies.
