Lovely Long Weekend

I have the luxury of a Monday off. Not that this ends up being leisure time, jobs seem to appear from behind the woodwork - "could you just..." take this to the tip, cut the grass, clear the kitchen, go to the shop etc etc.

So I am taking a few minutes to catch up on Facebook and my faithful blog. The reason I took Monday off was as a relaxer after a wonderful but very intensive weekend in the fabulous Peak District on the edge of Lyme Park at a spiritual development course.

About 40 people attend from all over the UK to work with three nationally recognised mediums, Tony Stockwell, Mavis Pittilla and Janet Parker. The weekend gave us the opportunity to network with like minded people who have a love of spirit, gain new experiences with some tools given to us in workshops and a chance to demonstrate as mediums in front of others.
The bonus is that the hotel was in some of the most beautiful scenery in this country in the Peak District. My photos didn't capture the beauty of it, but the hotel you can see above is nested in an isolated spot, but nevertheless was packed to the gunnels with visitors all weekend.

Click on the picture to enlarge it to appreciate the full glory of the location.

So I'm back at home feeling good, refreshed and enlightened.


If there was a downside to it, there was a Christmas tree in the foyer of the hotel. This isn't a good photograph, forgive me, it was taken on my mobile, but my goodness, it's the first week of bloody September.

Chat soon

  1. Oh how I HATE that ! Christmas items are never to go up before Thanksgiving (end November). Makes me what to set fire to all the blasted trees put up so early. Hows that for the Chirstmas spirit ?!?! At least YOU came back in good spirits.

  3. Namaste brother, I was wondering how the weekend retreat went, thanks for the update. Here in Canada we have our labour day long weekend so I too have a day off. I tip my cap to your dedication to knowledge.

    In Lak' ech, prosper in truth to divine love...

  6. I’m sure that must have been a very interesting seminar. I have read many books on the subject through the years. My interest first started with Edgar Cayce. There is a radio program that comes on here in the US in the wee hours in my time zone. It called Coast to Coast AM. George Noory is the host and he frequently has mediums and psychics as guests on his program. Here is a link http://www.coasttocoastam.com/

  8. Hello Gale
    Thanks again for popping in. I often listen to specialist US Radio programmes through the power of the Internet. A friend, Sharla Rae Jahnke who is in Chicago, often broadcasts spiritual programmes and it's lovely to listen to US style broadcasts which do differ somewhat from our own.
    Thanks for the link.

    Hi Elizabeth
    If truth were known, I think the tree was there a couple of weeks before we arrived!
