Greetings! We've had an incredible time here in Mid Wales since I last wrote to you. The Shamanic Crystals Retreat was just amazing. What a fabulous group of people attended and the Elan Valley was a superb setting. Thanks to Rich Valintine for leading the Retreat with us. It was so good everyone wanted another Shamanic Retreat and we probably will run another one in the future, but we have a different theme for our Spring 2020 Retreat. Keep your eyes peeled for the big reveal in your next newsletter! One month ago Steve was elected Mayor of Llandrindod Wells, our home town. I am getting used to the sight of him heading off on his Mayoral engagements wearing the chain of office, which is rather splendid and has a beautifully enamelled medallion of Hygieia holding her wand and a snake. She is the Greek goddess of healing and is the official emblem of our town. I am now officially the Mayor's Consort! Our first outing together was to the opening of the Russian Artists exhibition at our town museum. Beautiful artwork on display - if you are local the exhibition is still on - don't miss it! Our first two Masterclasses on Crystals of the Goddess and Sacred Ceremony have run and both were a delight to teach. People have requested another chance to attend Crystals of the Goddess so I am running it again this Autumn and have just one space left. I'm running it on the same weekend as the Reclaiming your Power Masterclass to make it easier for people who live a distance away to attend. Just one space left on that one too. Details below. I'm also announcing a brand new Masterclass: Crystal Tarot. Last but certainly not least I've just had the news that my son Jacob will be graduating with a First Class Honours Degree in Film Production. I'm so very proud of him and wondering where the last three years went! Enjoy your Summer! crystal blessings Lauren

Crystal Archetypes Saturday 13th July Explore your personal archetypes. Archetypes are facets of your personality. Some you may be aware of and others may be unconsciously running in the background and affecting your experience of life, for better or worse. Consider which of your archetypes are healthy and support your progress and which need healing, or reclaiming from the shadow. You will be taking home a Crystal Archetype Kit to continue this self-development work after the day.

Wisdom from the Stars Saturday 14th September I've been working with Starbrary Quartz crystals for the last two years, leading an online group and writing about them too.

Crystals on the Tree of Life Saturday 18th January 2020 Please note the change of date for this Masterclass.

I've studied the wisdom contained in the Tree of Life and found it an excellent framework for inner growth.

Sacred Ceremony Sunday 19th January 2020 I've had requests to run the Sacred Ceremony Masterclass again. Discover the elements of sacred ceremony.
