What participants have said about this workshop!

-This workshop has opened up the door for me…

-Now I have the tools to start listening to my intuition....

-Confirmed a lot of things for me…

-Brought me more understanding to get in touch with my energy....


Many of us find our lives radically changing and that we are experiencing transformations in our lives.
This can be a very confusing time, as we again begin to connect with our own intuition.

Often as children we were discouraged from sharing our mystical experiences with our elders,
and we learnt to reject our own inner voices in deference to the adults fears of the unknown and esoteric.

This workshop offers a safe-place where we can explore various ways to tune into our own intuitive senses.
Students will be introduced to various contemplative techniques that include the healing qualities of imagery, colour and sound.

The participants will have the chance to benefit from learning practical methods that can be easily incorporated into everyday life.

A regular twice-a-month Vancouver Meditation/Psychic Development Circle

Workshops are for psychic development & meditation. Come and join us! No experience necessary, just the desire to explore your spirituality.

Teachings will vary, as well as guidance on how, why, where, when and with whom to meditate. And there will also be plenty opportunity to meditate and share.

Meditating in a group can be very powerful. Committing to a group to meditate regularly is a promise and makes it easier to keep than trying to meditate alone on a regular basis.

The circle offers participants the opportunity to continue to explore and develop your intuition. Participants will learn:

*How to ground and protect themselves during meditation
*Explore your skills using psychometry, tarot cards, crystals, auras, pendulums, and energy

Fee: $30.00/class

Please call me at 604.897.0682 for more information and participation.
