OCTOBER 2018. It is with regret that we announce that the Alternative Perspectives series of lectures for the rest of 2018 has been cancelled. Numbers have dwindled so much that we have been running at a loss and have, thus, decided to end.
It may be that we will run the occasional lecture or workshop in the future, or maybe quarterly events, but that has not yet been decided. Should that happen, a notice will be posted on this page and all those on the current mailing list will be informed.
Alternative Perspectives is a series of monthly lectures, workshops or events aimed at presenting lesser-known aspects of the world around us and alternative views on the nature of reality. Some of the topics covered so far are: Psychical Research, The Kabbalah, Contact with the Spirit of Place, Soul Midwifery, Holy Wells, Where Science and Magic Meet, Shamanic Practice, Music of the Spheres: How Sound and PHI-bration Shape Our Reality, Phenomena—The Evidence, Water Horses. We also gather regularly for Dances of Universal Peace.
Meetings are held in the Schoolroom on the first Friday of every month. Entrance is £5, which includes refreshments.
If you would like to give a lecture or have a topic to suggest, please email Fran at booksbyfran@btinternet.com.
