CONSPIRACY THEORY V CONSPIRACY FACT
with Ross Hemsworth
In recent years we have seen some major changes in public opinion, with conspiracy investigators (once thought of as 'nutters' by the mainstream public) now being backed in many cases by mainstream science. But how do conspiracy theories start and do they ALL have at least one foot in fact?
Slicing through the conspiracy cake is broadcaster and researcher Ross Hemsworth who looks into how conspiracies can often be started as a deliberate attempt at disinformation, and how others are made to LOOK fake by the disinformation brigade. He will take us on a rollercoaster ride through the cobweb of conspiracies and make you rethink the way YOU may currently look at the world.
In his book The Endorphin Effect Dr William Bloom, Britain's leading holistic teacher, presents a major breakthrough in the field of healthcare and personal development. Based in cutting edge discoveries from medical science, he reveals a revolutionary method that produces endorphins whenever you want and gives you access to an infinite supply of health-giving vitality and energy. This then provides the powerful foundation for an easy and effective programme of healing and self-improvement that can be used in every area of your life.
"The Endorphin Effect is a brilliant, mature, and enlightening book that offers readers an opportunity to understand the awesome power that is contributed to the biology of the human body through endorphins. In this superb text, William Bloom provides very engaging insights into the effect that endorphins have upon our emotions and higher states of consciousness. This book is an inspiration, if only to make you realise that being a positive individual generates more power than you realise." Caroline M. Myss author of Anatomy of the Spirit and Why People Don't Heal.

FIVE GATEWAYS: A PRICELESS ROUTE MAP FOR YOUR JOURNEY OF ASCENSION
with Chris Bourne
As the very fabric of society crumbles around us, people in all walks of life are waking up and questioning the very nature of reality. A higher vibrational paradigm beckons us based on unconditional love, joy and mutual respect for all life. The question is, how do we join it?
There are many ways up the 'spiritual mountain', for each of us there is a unique path. Yet those who have climbed before us often speak of five key expansions, five key 'altitudes' through which we will tend to pass. It is a common journey that has been followed by spiritual masters through the ages.
Indeed Five Gateways is perhaps mankind's greatest untold story. Although lost in the distorting mists of time, its ultimate truth is encoded in our hearts. Come and join Chris Bourne in this soul searching seminar, as he dusts off the pages of history and helps us rediscover the divine birthright that belongs to us all. The time is now. There is no other time!
The theory assumes that everyone is born with tremendous intellectual potential, natural zest, and lovingness, but that these qualities have become blocked and obscured as the result of accumulated distress experiences (fear, hurt, loss, pain, anger, embarrassment etc) which begin early in our lives.
Any young person would recover from such distress spontaneously by use of the natural process of emotional discharge (crying, trembling, raging, laughing etc). However, this natural process is usually interfered with by well-meaning people ("Don't cry", "Be a big boy", etc) who erroneously equate the emotional discharge (the healing of the hurt) with the hurt itself.
By learning how to co-counsel with each other, we are able to support each others re-emergence.

CONNECTING TO INNER PEACE
With John Gloster-Smith
For many of us, there's a part of us that really, deeply wants to have peace and contentment in our lives. Somewhere, deep inside, this part is calling to us. However, our everyday experience is that we don't get much of it, in fact very much the reverse! And more of us are realising that this way of life isn't working. In fact in the current climate, this is becoming urgent. How much longer are we going to go on living in denial of Who We Are? And can the planet afford this denial?
This talk is about how we can learn to truly connect with our own inner peace and know and be Who We Really Are. It is also about how we can manifest that vision in our everyday life and with the world around us. Like using the power of Awareness, knowing when our ego is at work, and connecting with our inner Self.
Take some time out to connect with your Self. Come and be inspired about realising what has always been there for you, and about the key steps that you too can take to bring joy into your life. Meet other fellow-travellers. And learn some practical techniques too.
John Gloster-Smith, BA, PGCE, MAHPP, AC-accred., author of the book "Connecting to Inner Peace", is an accredited life and executive coach and group facilitator who leads personal development programmes in the UK and overseas. His work integrates Eastern philosophy with western transpersonal psychology.

How can we shift our relationships to a deeper level of love and joy?

D Revolution!
with Kieran Vanden Bosch
On the fringe of Design science, somewhere between permaculture and engineering, there are advancements so powerful, so important and so rich, that only the small, independent and frugal can achieve them.
The power lies in the people, and if the people believe they are free - then the future belongs to everyone. If the power lies in the cooperation, and the people all work for it, then the future will shape only in the direction of the powerful.
Do we fall further? Or do we pull our grass roots up and get on with each other? How do we do that? You're probably doing it! But how does everyone do it?
If words like transition, technology, sustainability, industry, community, biomimicry, living systems, or err, politics interest you - I hope for this talk to inspire.

APPLIED CREATIVITY: LIVING A MAD LIFE OF SOUND!
with Clare Hedin
Tonight Clare will share her expanding and healing journey in relationship to creativity. For her this is a meditation that inspires and creates intimacy and connection. She believes creativity, and our intelligence, comes from Nature and the Cosmos itself. The main area that has continued to show her the way is Sound. She will talk and demonstrate various aspects of how her discovery of Sound has transformed her understanding of life. She will also touch on how our spoken voices are a source of truth for us and how messages and belief systems are woven into our voices. This evening will be a mixture of sounding, singing and listening - Clare will perform, talk and share some group sound-play exercises to give the idea of how sound, expressed, can alter our consciousness.
Clare Hedin is a long time practicing Sound Artist & Healer, Intuitive Guide and Teacher of Creativity. Trained in piano at 7 and subsequently learning saxophone(s), hand drums, shruti and bowls, Clare uses these characters to support the telling and singing of life stories with her voice. She teaches and performs internationally. Her gift is being able to read what is going on in a room and respond accordingly, always aiming for depth and truth in connection. She has a deep love of the planet and has found that, for her, Sound has become a meditation on life. Clare's CD's will be available for purchase on the night.For more info please visit her website:

KEYS TO THE GOLDEN CITY
with Vicki Burke
Keys to the Golden City takes the form of a Musical Journey around the Cosmos - an evening in which Vicki probes the links between our journey around the seasonal year, journeys in our life and our lifetime journey. Creating cycles within cycles Vicki weaves them, with song, into the idea that our mind, body and soul, as a map of the cosmos, holds the key to a greater understanding of ourselves.
Vicki Burke is a musician, music teacher and music healer. She has played clarinet since the age of seven, also plays the saxophone and now concentrates on the harp.
The performance brings together two sides of Vicki's work. "Keys to the Golden City is the culmination of 11 years of working with healing and sound," she says, "but it's also the result of discoveries I've made more recently in some inspiring workshops - discoveries about the links between the astrological and chakra journeys. I've learned to listen to the music and wisdom we carry inside us, giving each of us access to the keys to our own golden city - a place to reconnect with the oneness of everything."

Be The Solution
with Wendy Harrington
Tragedy struck Wendy's life in 2001 when the Flesh Eating Bug caused devastation to her body, loosing flesh from 2/3rds of her torso. This traumatic experience sparked an awakening due to a vivid near death experience. Her recovery took her to Eastern Philosophy, which led her to the discovery of the energy in her body; the fact that past experiences were held in her body and how to release them.
Wendy will be sharing practical and grounded techniques that can be easily incorporated into daily life to help us cultivate the freedom we desire and be the solution in our own lives. Wendy says "For too long we have looked outside of ourselves. True peace, spontaneity and joy comes when we make our inner journey and connect with the wisdom in our body."
