Spiritual Journeys

Spiritual Journeys are a series of talks and interactive gatherings which are held twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Saturday. The name reflects the nature of speakers who are not only talking about the service they provide or the information they have come to share but also how they journeyed to get there.

The talks offer the opportunity to meet with like minded people and talk about interesting topics, mingling over an organic Coffee in beautiful garden surrounds. When we express our thoughts and talk about our journeys we expand ourselves and others.

Spiritual Journeys is offered at the gorgeous St Fiacre Distillery, previously called "The Fragrant Gardens", alongside the "Spiritual Visions Gallery". Organic Sacred Grounds Coffee and food is available prior to the talks which now run from 1pm to 2pm. Following the talks, there are several hours to mingle over coffee.

Our next Speaker on the 13th March is Joy Matthews

   To help support parents with a loving structure for understanding their children's souls mission. I am passionate about the Emotional and Spiritual wellbeing of women and children.
   I assist you with potential birthing pain, weight and sleep management overcoming any concerns and fears around relationships.

   I was born with the gift of, Clairsentience. During my 30 years nursing, I had some profound learning placed in front of me; this allowed me to refine my skills as a Medical Intuitive, to the point where I can feel a person's pain and learning, sometime without having to meet them.

   As a registered nurse I greatly developed my intuitive skills and the sensing of deceased energies and illnesses/dis-eases in people... I am highly clairsentient; this is now my gift, to assist other sensitive beings as I believe they are holding gifts to help heal themselves and our planet. These gifts need recognition and understanding for health, vitality and focus.

Crystal And Indigo Children

A different group of children has been arriving on Earth over the last few decades, according to Lee Carroll and Jan Tober in the book The Indigo Children.

They claim:
"The Indigo Child is a boy or girl who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before. This pattern has singularly unique factors that call for parents and teachers to change their treatment and upbringing of these kids to assist them in achieving balance and harmony in their lives, and to help them avoid frustration."

Indigo children have the following characteristics:
- 'know their own mind' from an early age
- independent & headstrong
- creative
- intuitive and have psychic abilities
- sensitive especially to animals
- easily bored and may be disruptive at school if the teacher doesn't understand where they are coming from
- highly strung, or tense

Older indigo children often fall prey to drug or other addictions and are prone to depression. They need to choose wholesome activities, such as continued education or a career that really plays to their strengths and assists them in finding supportive friends. They are here to change the way we perceive the world, so they find themselves bucking the system a lot - which can be very stressful for all parties involved.

Dr. Doreen Virtue has contributed copious information about these children. She also gives information on the newer arrivals, the Crystal Children.

According to her:
"Both generations are highly sensitive and psychic, and have important life purposes. The main difference is their temperament. Indigos have a warrior spirit, because their collective purpose is to mash down old systems that no longer serve us. They are here to quash government, educational, and legal systems that lack integrity. To accomplish this end, they need tempers and fiery determination. Those adults who resist change and who value conformity may misunderstand the Indigos. They are often mislabeled with the psychiatric diagnoses of Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Sadly, when they are medicated, The Indigos often lose their beautiful sensitivity, spiritual gifts, and warrior energy."

Crystal Children are:
- intuitive and psychic
- very sensitive & caring
- empathic
- peace loving

These children are still young. We will all have to wait a while to truly see how they bring their peaceful natures to bear on society as they grow.

There is a sense that the Earth is being prepared for a major shift in vibration and that much is accelerating around us. Conceivably these children were needed to instigate change. Labels are generally met with negative feedback, but if labeling a youngster as and 'Indigo child' helps us to understand the distinctive changes in our young people than it may be a useful one.

How do you know if you, or someone you know, is an Indigo or Crystal Child or Adult?

We will describe the main features and characteristics of these people. But we want to stress that the Indigo/Crystal phenomenon is the next step in our evolution as a human species. We are all, in some way, becoming more like the Indigo and Crystal people. They are here to show us the way, and so the information can be applied more generally to all of us as we make the transition to the next stage of our growth and evolution.

The Indigo Children have been incarnating on the Earth for the last 100 years. The early Indigos were pioneers and wayshowers. After World War II, a significant number were born, and these are the Indigo adults of today. However, in the 1970s a major wave of Indigos was born, and so we have a whole generation of Indigos who are now in their late twenties and early thirties who are about to take their place as leaders in the world. Indigos continued to born up to about 2000, with increasing abilities and degrees of technological and creative sophistication.

The Crystal Children began to appear on the planet from about 2000, although some date them slightly earlier. These are extremely powerful children, whose main purpose is to take us to the next level in our evolution, and reveal to us our inner power and divinity. They function as a group consciousness rather than as individuals, and they live by the" Law of One" or Unity Consciousness. They are a powerful force for love and peace on the planet.

The Indigo and Crystal Adults are composed of two groups. Firstly, there are those who were born as Indigos and are now making the transition to Crystal. This means they undergo a spiritual and physical transformation that awakens their "Christ" or "Crystal" consciousness and links them with the Crystal children as part of the evolutionary wave of change. The second group is those who were born without these qualities, but have aquired or are in the process of aquiring them through their own hard work and the diligent following of a spiritual path. Yes, this means that all of us have the potential to be part of the emerging group of "human angels".

The following extract describes the difference between Indigo and Crystal Children. It is from Doreen Virtue's article Indigo and Crystal Children:

The first thing most people notice about Crystal Children is their eyes, large, penetrating, and wise beyond their years. Their eyes lock on and hypnotize you, while you realize your soul is being laid bare for the child to see. Perhaps you've noticed this special new "breed" of children rapidly populating our planet. They are happy, delightful and forgiving. This generation of new lightworkers, roughly ages 0 through 7, are like no previous generation. Ideal in many ways, they are the pointers for where humanity is headed ... and its a good direction!

The older children (approximately age 7 through 25), called "indigo Children", share some characteristics with the Crystal Children. Both generations are highly sensitive and psychic, and have important life purposes. The main difference is their temperament. Indigos have a warrior spirit, because their collective purpose is to mash down old systems that no longer serve us. They are here to quash government, educational, and legal systems that lack integrity. To accomplish this end, they need tempers and fiery determination.

Those adults who resist change and who value conformity may misunderstand the Indigos. They are often mislabeled with psychiatric diagnoses of Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Sadly, when they are medicated, the Indigos often lose their beautiful sensitivity, spiritual gifts and warrior energy..........In contrast, the Crystal Children are blissful and even-tempered. Sure, they may have tantrums occasionally, but these children are largely forgiving and easy-going. The Crystals are the generation who benefit from the Indigos trailblazing. First, the Indigo Children lead with a machete, cutting down anything that lacks integrity. Then the Crystal Children follow the cleared path, into a safer and more secure world.

The terms "Indigo" and "Crystal" were given to these two generations because they most accurately describe their aura colours and energy patterns. Indigo children have a lot of indigo blue in their auras. This is the colour of the "third eye chakra", which is the energy center inside the head located between the two eyebrows. This chakra regulates clairvoyance, or the ability to see energy, visions, and spirits. Many of the Indigo children are clairvoyant

The Crystal Children have opalescent auras, with beautiful multi-colours in pastel hues. This generation also shows a fascination for crystals and rocks......

Indigo Children can sense dishonesty, like a dog can sense fear. Indigos know when they're being lied to, patronized, or manipulated. And since their collective purpose is to usher us into a new world of integrity, the Indigos inner lie-detectors are integral. As mentioned before, this warrior spirit is threatening to some adults. And the Indigos are unable to conform to dysfunctional situations at home, work, or school. They don't have the ability to dissociate from their feelings and pretend like everything's okay ...unless they are medicated or sedated.

Crystal Children's innate spiritual gifts are also misunderstood. Specifically, their telepathic abilities which lead them to talk later in life.

In the new world which the Indigos are ushering in, we will all be much more aware of our intuitive thoughts and feelings. We won't rely so much upon the spoken or written word. Communication will be faster, more direct, and more honest, because it will be mind to mind. Already, increasing numbers of us are getting in touch with our psychic abilities. Our interest in the paranormal is at an all-time high, accompanied by books, television shows, and movies on the topic.

So, it's not surprising that the generation following the Indigos are incredibly telepathic. Many of the Crystal Children have delayed speech patterns, and its not uncommon for them to wait until they're 3 or 4 years old to begin speaking. But parents tell me they have no trouble communicating with their silent children. Far from it! The parents engage in mind-to-mind communication with their Crystal Children. And the Crystals use a combination of telepathy, self-fashioned sign language, and sounds (including song) to get their point across.

The trouble comes about when the Crystals are judged by medical and educational personnel as having "abnormal" speaking patterns. It's no coincidence that as the number of Crystals are born, that the number of diagnoses for autism is at a record high.

It's true that the Crystal Children are different from other generations. But why do we need to pathologize these differences? If the children are successfully communicating at home, and the parents are'nt reporting any problems... then why try to make a problem? The diagnostic criteria for autism is quite clear. It states that the autistic person lives in his or her own world, and is disconnected from other people. The autistic person doesn't talk because of an indifference to communicating with others.

Crystal Children are quite the opposite. They are among the most connected, communicative, caring and cuddly of any generation. They are also quite philosophical and spiritually gifted. And they display an unprecedented level of kindness and sensitivity to this world. Crystal Children spontaneously hug and care for people in need. An autistic person wouldn't do that!

In my book "The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children", I wrote that ADHD should stand for Attention Dialed into a Higher Dimension. This would more accurately describe that generation. In the same vein, Crystal Children don't warrant a label of autiem. They aren't autistic! They're AWE-tistic!

These children are worthy of awe, not labels of dysfunction. If anyone is dysfunctional, it's the systems that aren't accommodating the continuing evolution of the human species. If we shame the children with labels, or medicate them into submission, we will have undermined a heaven-sent gift. We will crush a civilization before its had time to take roots. Fortunately, there are many positive solutions and alternatives. And the same heaven that sent us the Crystal Children can assist those of us who are advocates for the children.........

Introducing Susy Plummer- Spiritual Artist
I've been on this path of Visionary Art for the past nine years. I was born in New York into a family of Artists, but it took awhile for art to be my main interest. I traveled to Australia in 1969 and found my home base along the Central Coastcoast.

Before art took over, I was a practitioner of Holistic Pulsing, Aura Soma, Kahuna Massage, EMF Balancing technique and an angel intuitive.

I found that whenever I worked with a client I would go into a meditative state of mind and would want to be still with the person. I sometimes would receive messages for them. I felt I wanted to explore this state of mind I was experiencing and bring this aspect forward.

I was lead, through a series of synchronistic, serendipitous experiences, to create the Angel and Spirit Guide portraits.
My own connection to spirit holds a lot of power from the Shamanic tradition of the Native Americans plus many other cultures. Also,the Angelic and the devic realms of the fairies and elves like to show themselves on my drawing board.

I believe I'm a channel, for multiple forms of energy, to help people discover more about themselves. This is apparent in the workshops as well. Everyone seems to be able to create a drawing with purpose and beauty.

Find out how you can have a custom drawn, unique
portrait of your Angel or Spirit Guide. Workshops and classes also available to create your own Intuitive guidance drawings.
