Crystal Reading or Crystalomancy is a form of divination that utilises crystals - tumble stones and freeforms - selected by the client in order for the reader to offer guidance on their spiritual path. In this interactive demonstration Edwin Courtenay - a long time Crystalomancer (and self confessed crystal addict) will not only explain how Crystal Reading might be done by anybody but also demonstrate the practice live on audience members chosen by spirit! Using his Magical Box of Stones to offer guidance on the spiritual path, psychic potential, energy blockages, past life issues and those spiritual presences surrounding the client he will reveal the secrets of this simple and yet powerful divination system as ancient as Atlantis itself!

Feel, Release, Heal : Emotional and Physical Balance Through Spinal Energetics.

Emotional baggage can profoundly impact our physical, mental, and emotional well-being, often leading to tension, pain, and illness.

Learn how unresolved emotions can manifest in the body and how spinal energetics offers a powerful approach to releasing stored trauma, balancing energy, and promoting healing. Join us for this enlightening talk and a live demonstration.

Aromatic Alchemy for Balance: using aromatherapy essential oils & their plant allies to help align the body, heart, mind & Soul. Emmalene shares her 25 years of experience in this field.

11am Edwin Courtenay

Demonstration of Light Trance Channelling

Light Trance Channeling is a physical mediumistic practice whereby the medium allows their body to be used by spirit as an instrument for direct communication! The consciousness of the medium remaining close by and therefore aware of that which is being said through them BUT surrendered enough for the communicating presence to be given free range of expression! Edwin Courtenay has been working as a Light Trance channel for 33 years channelling others guides, the Ascended Masters and the Archangels in private sessions and in his workshops and lectures throughout the world. Today he will not only demonstrate this ability - explaining the practice and procedure should anyone want to investigate this for themselves - but also use it to bring forwards messages for those members of the audience chosen by spirit. Working with the Ascended Master St Germain, the Lord of Shambhala under whose auspice Edwin journeys on his personal spiritual path.

12.15pm Nicky Hollins - Oh My Goddess Cacao

The Sacred Gift of Ceremonial Cacao

Nicky will lead a Cacao ceremony and talk about the community of Asháninka where the Cacao is sourced from. It is the only fully indigenous Cacao community in Peru and their story of resilience is truly astonishing. They still continue to fight daily to preserve their ancient traditions and ancestral land. Nicky says “Everything we do is rooted in reciprocity, respect and regeneration. It is an honour to share their story and this very special heart medicine”

1.30pm Coralie Desoutter ANAKA Healing

The Body Remembers: Releasing Trauma Through Somatic Healing

Unresolved trauma and emotional stress don’t just disappear— they leave imprints on the body, often leading to tension, pain, and energetic blockages. In this workshop, explore how past experiences shape your physical and emotional well-being and how Spinal Energetics can help you release what no longer serves you, promoting balance and healing. Join us for this enlightening talk and a live demonstration to witness the body’s innate ability to heal

2.45pm Edwin Courtenay

Demonstration of Scrying

Scrying is the ability to use a Crystal Ball, crystal or magic mirror to obtain a clairvoyant vision in order to guide or direct the client on their spiritual road. Edwin Courtenay has been scrying from the age of 16 (for 37 years) and today will not only explain this process - so that others might investigate it themselves - but also demonstrate it for those members of the audience selected by Spirit. Providing guidance on their life path and purpose, those spirit presences working with them at this moment in time, past lives and potential future events and the colour and nature of their aura. This promises to be an educational and interactive lecture - revealing the ancient art of scrying so that all may plunder its mysteries

Holding Space for Trauma - how to create space – for yourself and others – to provide deep listening for your body, mind and spirit.

Find out how Body-Mind coaching works in that space between ‘Therapy’ and ‘Coaching’, helping you to move from being stuck in the problem to moving towards your desired future, and how we bring the body into this conversation. When we are working with people, we need to be able to read between the lines, listen for that space between the notes and feel into the stillness in the chaos. This is my invitation to you to explore a holistic approach that can help you go deeper – whether in your personal life or as a practitioner.
