Practitioners can advertise their services via the adverts page rather than just as a listing in the service directory.  If you have interesting newsletters you would like to add- we now also have an "interest" page which contains information about local authors and speakers, interesting articles, links and channels.    Feel free to email content you feel is worth sharing.  

Spiritual Connections facebook page is a place that you can paste any events or can be used as a noticeboard, however in order for the events to be seen in date order and emailed to the members, you will need to also list them on the site via the form on the calender page.  There are now facebook pages for Spiritual Connections in  Melbourne, Brisbane and Townsville, so let your friends in those areas know!

Spiritual Journeys
Spiritual Journeys are a series of talks and interactive gatherings which are held three times a month on the 2nd and 4th Saturday and the 3rd Wednesday.  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.

The Central Coast and surrounds attracts some amazing, talented people who are enriching the lives others through their gifts.  We each have a purpose and our journey through life reveals how we have come to learn all aspects of that purpose to be able to share it with others.  By understanding not only what people are doing, but why they are doing it and how they have reached this point, we are understanding their divine message and role and how that fits into our own lives and lessons.

Spiritual connections understands that by the law of attraction, the people who attend for the talks are the exact people who need to hear the message of each individual speaker as there is something in their journey or message that is valuable to each member of the group.  There may also be someone in the social gathering afterwards who you need to connect with.

You are welcome to bring fliers and brochures advertising your services.  If you have books, CDs or Crystal to sell you are welcome to bring these. The talks are interactive so feel free to join in or to simply listen.
 
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.

New addition!!  From 10am to 5pm on the day of the talks, medical intuitive readings, life psychology by numbers and Rekindled ancient wisdom treatments will be available...so come early!!

For any readers or healers wishing to offer your services on this day or any other day, there are some opportunities on the horizon...please contact Tracy 0410 498 373.

Our next Speaker on the 15th May is Susy Plummer

About Joy:  I'm in Private Practice, for the support of women, encouraging a heart connection for the incoming soul/baby. My passion is empowering mothers and these amazingly gifted children. 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.

Joy, along with Graywolf is also the reader for the spiritual Journeys talks available from 10am to 5pm at each event.

Our speaker on the 29th May is Veronica Pasfield

Veronica Pasfield
Over the past 10 years Veronica has focused on her own personal growth and development for the purpose of living her life with meaning and purpose.

"My journey has taught me much about myself and has been extremely rewarding . It would be my privilege and honour to assist you on your journey as you uncover the real you.

The key to embracing life is accepting growth and change.

I have been exposed to some astounding wisdom and I'd like to share what I have learned with you."

R/B is a healing modality using the breath and accessing the root cause of a problem/ issue/ non peaceful condition, bringing significant and lasting change in a client's life.
The power in the process is: 1. all that is needed is the breath   2. the client goes back to the relevant incident; they don't know in  advance and they don't have to know, the breath will take them exactly where they need to go. From there they see for themselves the limiting decision they made at that time that they had no idea they made.

Craniosacral Therapy for Pets

What is CranioSacral Therapy?
It is a powerful, yet extremely gentle hands on therapy, using no force or manipulation. The therapist listens with her hands to what is going on in the body and in this way identifies and relieves pains,  tensions and stagnation held in the body and its extended energy field. It is such a gentle therapy that it is safe and suitable for all ages and appropriate when other therapies may be unsafe, such as during pregnancy and for newborns, young ones with learning difficulties and after an operation, accident, fall or injury. CST can also be used to attain and maintain optimal health, in particular in relation to stress.

CranioSacral Therapy for Pets
CranioSacral Therapy works as well on horses, dogs, cats or other animals as it does on humans, and usually very visibly so. The animals close to us don't only have to contend with their own physical, emotional or mental problems, but they often take on their human's issues as well in some form or other.


Many dogs are, due to breading characteristics or breeding flaws, born with physical disadvantages, such as unproportionality in back/leg length ratio or hip dysplasia causing many problems with the back, pelvis and knees. On top of this dogs are very close to us emotionally and carry much of our emotional baggage. They also tend to manifest physically some of our physical strains and illnesses.

Cats, on the other hand appear more detached from us, and much fewer of them carry our baggage in that way. Instead they contribute to their human's wellbeing in other ways. 

Many horses are very highly developed beings and are very tangibly energetically uplifting for their humans, but they, just like the dogs, take on some of their owner's physical, emotional and mental imbalances and densities. For horses there are the added complexities of how we like to use them for riding and various more or less strenuous equine sports or work. Horses are very affected by their riders, who at varying levels of riding ability and with physical and emotional imbalances and restrictions of their own often transfer these patterns to the horse.

For these reasons of transference it may be very beneficial to treat both the animal and its owner (or rider). This may allow the animal to easier and faster lessen its total burden of restrictions and imbalances, before treating it.

To treat the human once or twice first also gives him better understanding of what may happen on the inside and change in the animal during and after sessions. If the human hasn't tried it himself he will not be able to imagine what is happening and changing for the animal. When the human is present during the animal's session, a deeper connection also arises in their relationship with each other, making it common for the human to experience a much closer contact with and understanding for their animal after CranioSacral work.

For extensive information on what CranioSacral Therapy is and how it works, please see the leaflet What is CranioSacral Therapy? produced by Stillness Institute.

Introducing Christine Bannigan-
Spiritual Author
Equine Cranio

Christine Bannigan has published two books in her Evolution Series. The third will be released in 2010. Contract To Live (2003), The Blossoming Heart (2009) and Portal to Freedom (2010) cover her archetypal journey from corporate stress-head to a more balanced way of being. They are fascinating reading for those who are moving beyond the purely physical focus to realize themselves as cosmic beings.

Christine's books are packed with stories, metaphors, exercises and meditations to open hearts and minds. They reach into the reader's soul, helping us to remember that limitation is an illusion that keeps us small, and although there is no better way to learn, it is time for us now to rediscover our spaciousness and claim our birthright of freedom.

Christine is a catalyst for transformation, a distinction she earned when working as a Change Management Consultant in the Asia Pacific corporate sector. In 2000 however, her relationship with change took on a different meaning when an aggressive life threatening cancer stopped her in her tracks.

On the day of her diagnosis, Christine stepped out of her old shoes and surrendered to a greater power. This marked the beginning of a fascinating journey of personal transformation which propelled her into cosmic adventures and realms of awareness she had never imagined possible. In her first book "Contract To Live," Christine shares the story of this unique awakening. She describes her walk-in experience when the old consciousness left and a new awareness was born.

Christine is a cosmic being with a fearless perspective on life. When writing, teaching, leading meditations and conducting private sessions she taps into an energy that lifts her beyond her physical self. She brings through practical tools, meditations and guidance for accelerating transformation and helping people open to new levels of consciousness.

You will be able to read further information about Christine as of the 1st April via the "Introducing" Page on the Spiritual Connections website.

Expression of interest for Animal Communication Workshop

Last year I sent out an expression of interest email to anyone who would like to take part in a 2 day Animal Communication workshop with Trisha McCagh, reknowned animal communicator, and I did receive a pretty good response, however not quite enough interest for the course to go ahead.
I am now repeating the invitation as I feel that the timing is right and animals really need to be heard right now.
Have a look at Trisha's website www.animaltalk.com.au and get a feel in what she is about.
The last time I communicated with Trisha late last year, she was very open to conducting a course here on the coast, however, we need to ensure that we have the numbers for the course to go ahead.  12 is the magic number!
If you are interested, please let me know, and if we can get in the ball park, I can then do some serious organising.
The timing would depend upon our numbers and of course when Trisha is available to run the course.
Personally I would love this to occur sooner rather than later.
(Even If you are not interested, perhaps you know of someone so pass the word around.)
The 2 day introductory/intermediate workshop is an investment of $450.00 (including GST) and I have heard from others who have participated, it is a wonderful and inspiring experience.
I look forward to hearing from you.
