Sacred Journey To The Soul - Reclaiming Your Past Lives
In this workshop we will be looking at how our past lives affect our present day living, and how the pain of the past is keeping us from being totally whole and complete in our everyday lives.
If you can remember who you were in past lives you can remove all blockages from these lives including pains, fears, phobias, relationships problems and health difficulties we can heal through different past life regression techniques. By looking at your different reincarnations you will start to see unfolding in front of your eyes a new you, a changed you, a soul that is eternal that returns again and again to grow as a spiritual being to become stronger more loving, more caring, more balanced, and to one day, once again, to be united with spirit. We will be working and discovering who your soulmates are, and looking at the relationships you have had in the past with them as many of these relationships are created again in this life time. We will discover who our twin flame are, and where they are in our lives today, we shall also be looking at karma and how it affects us in our everyday life. We create our own reality; it is our own choice to step out of negative ways of living if it is not in tune with our life purpose. So in the workshop we will be looking at dreams and visions and how they shape our free will and destiny, and how our guides and guardians come and teach us in the dreamtime about our past lives. We will also be using soul retrieval to help us to bring back the missing parts of our soul so that we can feel whole and complete again. By doing this we can walk into our future lives as fully realised human beings. Know thyself; who you where, who you are now, and who you will become - past present future as one. Walk out of the past into the future with ‘the present’ of today.
The Heart Of All Knowing - Awakening The Inner Seer
Deep within each and every one of us is a wise man or woman, waiting to awaken to our life’s purpose, desire and destiny.When we were little children we knew, and understood who we were and where we had come from, we lived our magical experiences, dancing and weaving throughout our childhood dreams, then we grew up and forgot who we where, and why we had come here. In this workshop we will explore, working with our Spirit Guides, Gatekeepers, and Ancestors, remembering our connection with them as little children when we played happily with joy and delight to see them around us.
Now today in this fast pace of life, our souls have been buried and we thirst for fulfilment of our spiritual hunger, as we keep trying to fill the empty space with meaningless thoughts and actions. Every single one of us has the gift of seership within them, by empowering ourselves, trusting ourselves, holding true the visions we have seen since early childhood, and follow our dreams we can become self realised , and start the healing process within ourselves. We can start to see our soul mates, and the connections in all the relationships around us, past, present and the future, we can travel the time lines, and heal and love ourselves unconditionally. We have the love and support of our loved ones in the spirit world, as we connect to all that is, mother nature and father sky united as one, its time to reclaim our natural and ancient birthright, to connect to our spiritual nature, to move from self to the soul the heart of all knowing. We are tomorrows ancestors, let us reclaim our forgotten souls, and share with our future generations, how to walk between both worlds, that every experience has a purpose and a meaning, we need to follow our instincts, and our inner knowing, combining both our spirit guides and earth walkers, to bring us into balance as one. Come join me on a voyage of discovering your true wise and beautiful soul, which is ready to burst forth, like a seed emerging for the first time into the world of light, see this world through the eyes of a seer, your true self, reach for the stars, know that anything is possible if you believe and trust in yourself.
The Spirit Of The Drum
has taught us all about music and given us the tools to make it. The skin from four legged animals which cover the drum, and the wood, from the tree people ,together remind us that life is a circle, no beginning no end. The symbology on the drum which reminds us of where we came from, and you the keeper of the drum, with your own vibration, own special sound connects us back to mother earth. The drum is her heart beat, it reconnects us back to her, we walk on this earth every day and sometimes we forget how much she has given us, when we work with the shamanic drum , it brings us back into balance with all of nature, and we listen once again to the rhythms of our own heartbeat. The drum is the spirit horse that carries us between the two worlds, taking us on a journey into new worlds, helping us to ride the tides of life, it touches memories inside each and every one of us something very deep, very old of a time when we came together as a people to drum, dance and sing rooting ourselves into the earth. In this workshop we will work with the different beats , different sounds , using them in healing, meditation, journey work ,trance, dance , songs , and many other ways. We will drum in the different sacred directions, honouring each one , so we have a greater understanding of the way of the drum. Our greatest teacher is ourselves listen to your heartbeat though the drum and then you will know yourself. All drums will be provided.
We Are All Psychic
Now its time to unlock your intuition, set free all the boundaries that have been placed there by life and look again at who we are. There are so many different paths that you can walk down. After some years comes a wisdom of life and understanding about your own sacred space. No matter what age you are let us take the time to prepare for a new awareness to enter into our lives, as we think so it is , we create who we are, now its time for you to open up to a new wondrous world of spirit which is within you, and around you always, for the world of spirit is only a thought away. In this workshop we will be looking at new ways to open you up to your natural intuition so you enjoy what you are creating. We will gather all the right ingredients together looking at our psychic tools, learn about grounding, centering and protection. Using your clairsentience, clairvoyance, and clairaudience abilities you will really start opening up to the world of spirit. As we will link to this world it will be possible to reach out to our loved ones, bridging the gap that has been put there by our misunderstandings and fears. You will learn the true integration of psychic and self, discovering the real you and your link to other worlds.Shamanic Crystal Healing
Walking The Shamanic Path
Songs Of The Flute
The origins of the flute lie deep within the cultures of the ancient people who did not have written music. All the spiritual songs and techniques were passed down by the elders though rituals and practice, their music coming from the heart with emotions, feelings and understanding. Many of us have forgotten these teachings, but when we start to create music from within ourselves, working with the flute, it teaches us about what is already inside. The beautiful sometimes haunting sounds will start to emerge though the life force of our breath and music of our soul - ‘be still and know thyself’ - is an old ancient saying for out of the song comes the wisdom and knowledge that only you can bring forth. Nobody else can do that for you. Without using words let the music of your soul touch and reconnect the very core of your being. In this workshop you will discover that you do not need to know or read music as you play from the heart - it is so easy to do. The most ancient of peoples are the tree people, who are the flute. They know the songs of the flute should be shared with everyone. The only thing you will need is yourself and a deep passion to awaken your spiritual song through your breath - come and try it, it is so freeing. All flutes will be provided
Reawakening The Goddess
Deep within each
and every one of us is an intense call to reawaken ourselves to our feminine spirit which has been asleep for thousands of years. Many of us have looked for the right person to come along to ignite our passion, but when we come to the realisation that it is not outside but within ourselves then we become empowered to really understand and awaken to our true selves. The result is our gifts and talents flow effortlessly as we reawaken to who we truly are. Now is the time for your journey one you have been waiting for , for deep inside of you is a calling to discover yourself, to know your real name , to sing your spirit alive , to dance yourself into bliss and joy, to laugh until your heart is full of love and life , to smile and set the world alight with your passion and fire, to look deep into the windows of your soul though the eyes of trust, and understand that you are beautiful , unique, and special, because there is only one of you in this entire universe for the goddess resides in you. In this workshop we will be looking at the myths, legends, of the goddess, and learn how we can welcome this beautiful energy into our every day life, though dance ,song, music, poetry, all you need is an open heart for you already know her , it is she who moves you into the dance , she is the music of your life , it is time . All drums , flutes , dance skirts ,and music will be provided .
Sacred Sage, Sacred Space
Scottish Witchcraft - The Path Of The Wise
At the beginning of the 16th century the great Scottish witch trials took place where ancient paganism and magical beliefs, which had remained in place for all these centuries, were changed and driven underground. The practice of PectiWita (Scottish Wicca) was first made heresy by the church, and then by the political government of the day. Those in religious and political positions of power used false trials against earth loving peoples who worshipped the Goddess and used death by fire and water as a tool to purge those who were seen to be dangerous, or those who did not conform to what the institutions wanted. People whose beliefs were to honour mother earth, who had a simple creed to ‘do anything as long as it did not harm others’ were ruthlessly exploited by methods of extortion. Often those in authority used the threat of death as a means to gain land and hold the balance of power over the ‘people’. Also they blamed all types of ailments on those who were called witches or warlocks, whether they were rich or poor, young or old, it made no difference. It took many decades, even centuries for the Christian Church to finally get hold of the power base. First churches were built on the ancient sites with a door in the East for the PectiWita and Pagans, these ancient peoples were driven into these houses of God with threats of the Monarchy through manufactured laws taking over their land and houses. Initially one half of the church was used by the PectiWita Pagan based peoples and then as the Church gained total control the East door became the door of the Devil and was closed for as long as the Christian Church held power. Fortunately today the old ways of honouring the Earth and each other are starting to return. In this talk you will firstly learn about the ancient ways of the wise, the history of the Scottish witches and wizards, and who they were, you will also learn the differences between Scottish witchcraft call PectiWita the craft of the picts from the highlands of Scotland, and the traditional craft of England called Wicca. Barbara was born in Inverness the capital of the highlands, where the Pictish capital in the sixth century was also in Inverness. She grew up in nature learning from the elements, the trees, the animals, when she was twelve years old she met Swain MacDonald the highland seer, who became her spiritual father, and under Swains guidance he help her to discover the Druid, Pagan, and ancient ways of the old Craft of the picts. Today she interweaves all her knowledge together into one large cauldron of life, combining all the gifts she has been given so that she can share them with everyone she meets and bring the wisdom of the ancients and wise ones into the 21st century. Sacred Circle, Sacred Space
From within our ancient Celtic, Druid, Pagan, and Wiccan traditions from this land , we do most of our ritual, ceremony, and spell work within a circle, by casting our circle we call up our ancestors to work with us to create magic and to enter into a altered state of consciousness, to step into the space between the worlds, and to honor the divine within ourselves. The boundaries of the circle are protected by the elements and the deities who we call in and honour within our sacred circle. Come join me in creating a sacred circle, learn all about altars,and the herbs and incenses used in the sacred spaces, and how to cast a circle and call in the elements and deities. We will also be looking at directing and releasing energy within the circle, and the different tools used. As above so below let us learn together and we shall grow. Blessed be .
Scrying (The Ancient Art Of The Seer)
For thousands of years people have been using ancient ways of seeing (scrying) into the past, present and the future, using many different crystals , stones, water, sand, clouds, fire mirrors, and many more tools. Scrying is the doorway into time and space, and by gazing into the object it produces a light hypnotic trance , that allows you to see information, for both yourself and others, which arrives in the form of pictures, symbols, letters, impressions, and sensations. You will also learn how to charge your tools and crystals, ready for the journey. Come with me and step though the doorways of time and discover your inner seer, and connect with the spirit of the crystals, rocks, fire, water, and of all living things. All scrying tools will be provided but please bring your own crystals and stones.Seership - Walking The Path Of The Ancient Ones

The Ancient Wisdom Of Psychic Protection
Since the beginning of time, every culture has had a deep respect for observing wise customs and maintaining boundaries between themselves and harmful energies, both from the Spirit world and the people around them.In our world today we have problems with not knowing how to protect ourselves. We have forgotten how to use our basic instincts. We are allowing both our fears and other people’s fears to affect us.This in turn causes problems on many different levels of our life, including health and relationships problems. Cause and effect works on many levels. All our thoughts, intentions, and deeds have a profound effect upon both the physical and metaphysical sides of this world. We need to look at how our thoughts and feelings affect others. By learning the sacred art of Psychic protection, you will begin to understand psychic attack, both where it comes from and how you can stop power loss from your energies being depleted by others and yourself. By setting your sacred boundaries, you will be keeping your connection to the source of all life. In this workshop you will also learn about keeping your house clear of any uninvited guests, transforming negative feelings into powerful positive ones. By walking between the worlds you will be able to connect with your gatekeepers and protectors to ensure that your psychic protection is in place at all times, including the dreamtime. You will also learn all about psychic self defence and how to create your own destiny. When you open the doors to the Spirit world, your psychic awakening takes place. To ensure balance in your life at all times, you need to understand when it is time to close those doors to rest, nurture, and take care of you.Please bring with you a purple candle for a releasing ceremony, a notebook and pen.
Journey To The Spirit Worlds With Mediumship And Trance
Every single one of us is psychic, and therefore has the ability to link and connect with the Spirit world. In this one day workshop, we will explore the realms of the Spirit worlds, making our connection with our Spirit guides, gatekeepers and protectors. We will learn about travelling on the time lines to discover your own soul records, unlocking your ancient knowledge and helping you deepen your abilities of mediumship and trance. The more you link with the Spirit world, the quicker you will develop your gifts. Today you will learn about clairvoyance and the deepening trance states. You will learn about overshadowing, and each and every one of you coming to the workshop will have your own time to sit in the trance state, and to work with your mediumship. We will also look at direct voice, table tilting, and many other fascinating aspects of mediumship and trance. Two other experienced mediums will be with me to watch, help and assist your every step. You will leave as caring and professional ambassadors for the spirit world. Please make sure you wear loose comfortable clothing, and bring plenty of water. We will be working in a dark room, so please ensure your clothing is dark in colour.
Way Of The Butterfly
Is There Anybody Out There? (Mediumship Demonstration)
Power Animals
All creatures great and small carry wisdom and power within them, from the smallest insect to the largest mammal that swim in our vast oceans. From our ancient tribal shamanic traditions we were taught that every one of us has guardian power animals that watch over us and protect us from our early childhood, they are our helping spirits and are essential in any work we do in our everyday life.In today’s society we have lost our connection to our friends and allies, it is important to honour your power animal, and value the gifts that are given freely from them. In this workshop we will go on a journey to the lower worlds to discover your power animals and how they protect you from illness and negative energy that can enter your energy body. They are your guardians and gatekeepers and by learning the tequinques of shape shifting you can become your animal by merging and awakening your inner vision to see through the eyes of your guardian power animal that will watch over, protect, and journey with you where ever you go. You will learn how to work with the different medicines that each power animal has, in how they can help and assist you in you every day life. I will also explain the meaning of the power animals that visits you in the dream time to commutate with you. You will learn to facilitate and integrate their Medicine within you to show you your true strengths and abilities.
Awakening The Kundalini
This is a workshop in two halves. The first half will be the morning session and will look at the process of ‘release’ in preparation for the second half in the afternoon where we will look at and experience the power of ‘awakening’. Do you have fear or anxiety related to sex, or an inability to feel pleasure or to experience an orgasm? Do you have difficulty expressing your sexual or emotional needs, or do you attract abusive or insensitive lovers. Do you lack sexual desire? Our emotional and original ‘wounding’s’ are from emotional or sexual abuse, taking many different forms; from rape, molestation, harassment and also psychic attack. In this workshop we will create a safe, loving ,sacred and space; a womb of our mother to help nurture and connect once again with the true source of our inner knowing. To experience tantra; the awakening of our Kundalini (our inner bliss) we must first have an understanding of where we are wounded and how we can heal this original wounding. In our society today we suppress our unconscious wounds. This prevents us from expressing who we are through our sexuality. Theses wounds cause us to repress our sexual energy, stopping the flow of our Kundalini - life force energy to flow through us. It stops us from experiencing our heart to heart connection with both ourselves and others. We will work with soul retrieval, re birthing techniques, accessing the original wounding, shamanic healing and Kundalini energy work to help you to release all wounds and pains, fears and doubts, to enable you to go out into the world healed and whole. In the afternoon we will work towards our ‘awakening’. Deep within each and every one of us is an intense call to reawaken ourselves to our divine spirit which has been asleep for thousands of years. Many of us have looked for the right person to come along to ignite our passion, but when we come to the realisation that it is not outside but within ourselves, and then we become empowered to really understand and awaken to our true souls. The result is that our gifts and talents flow effortlessly as we reawaken to who we truly are. Now is the time for your journey, one you have been waiting for. Deep inside you is a calling to rediscover yourself, to know your real name. It is time to sing your spirit alive, to dance yourself into bliss and joy, to laugh until your heart is full of love and life, to smile and set the world alight with your passion and fire. It is time to look deep into the windows of your soul though the eyes of trust and understand that you are beautiful, unique, and special. There is only one of you in this entire universe for the god/goddess resides in you.Please bring with you a blanket and pillow, wear loose clothing all shamanic tools,will be provided.
Shamanic Healing
In all ancient cultures and tribal communities since the very beginning of time, shamanic healing has been used as a powerful healing technique as it is a natural and intuitive way of working at a very deep level to track back and heal the original wounding, caused by past life traumas, or woundings from this life time, we will look at the energy fields surrounding the body, and how using shamanic healing we can rebalance and realign the metal, physical, spiritual and emotional bodies, to work in harmony with one another and regain your power loss and your connection to the web of life once again. In this workshop we will be working with and experiencing the difference between Trance, Spiritual, Shamanic and Reiki and Egyptian Sekhem healing. Barbara has been working in the field of Cross Culture Shamanism for over 30 years; she has been a Reiki and Sekhem Teacher for over 20 years, travelling around the world working with different medicine men and woman to gain a deeper understanding of healing the self. Her first hand experiences of three death and rebirths gives her the vision and understanding of soul healing. Healer heal thyself, first.
Past Life Perspective
In this workshop we will be looking at how our past lives affect our present day living, and how the pain of the past is keeping us from being totally whole and complete in our everyday lives. Remembering who you were in past lives allows you to remove all blockages from these lives; pains, fears, phobias, relationships problems and health difficulties. We can heal through different past life regression techniques. By looking at your different incarnations you will see a ‘new’ you unfolding in front of your eyes. This changed you is a soul that is eternal that returns again and again to grow as a spiritual being to become stronger, more loving, more caring, more balanced to, one day, be reunited with spirit. We will be working and discovering who soul mates are and looking at the relationships you have had in the past with them. Many of these relationships are created again in this life time. We will discover who our twin flame is and where they are in our lives today. We’ll also be looking at karma and how it affects us in our everyday life. We create our own reality; it is our own choice to step out of negative ways of living if it is not in tune with our life purpose. Also in the workshop we will be looking at dreams and visions and how they shape our free will and destiny, and how our guides and guardians come and teach us in the dream time about our past lives. We will also be using soul retrieval to help us to bring back the missing parts of our soul so that we can feel whole and complete again. By doing this we can walk into our future lives as fully realised human beings. Know thyself; who you where, who you are now, and who you will become - past, present and future as one. Walk out of the past into the future with ‘the present’ of today.
