PROGRAMME Saturday 8th June 10.00 - 10.10am Welcome & Introduction 10.10 - 11.00am Tim Wyatt: Secrets of Infinity The inner workings of the cosmos have always been known to a select few. Throughout history parts of this wisdom have been revealed to a wider audience often in intriguing ways. But why have these ideas been so closely guarded? 11.00 - 11.30am Break (refreshments available) 11.30 - 12.30pm Susan Leybourne: The Kabbalah: Paths of Illumination Rooted in medieval Jewish mysticism the Kabbalistic ‘Tree of Life’ is a system of philosophy, meditation, contemplation, and magic. It offers both practical and theoretical applications for spiritual development, illumination and the awareness of higher powers. 12.30 - 2.00pm Lunch (not included) 2.00 - 3.00pm Janet Lee: Art & Esotericism Since the dawn of time art has been humans’ primary route to spiritual and esoteric states of being. In the 19th and 20th centuries occultists and theosophical artists harnessed this power and created the greatest modern works of art and culture. 3.00 - 3.30pm Break (refreshments available) 3.30 - 4.30pm Gary Kidgell: Archetypes & The Spiritual Path Analysis of Carl Jung’s ‘archetypes’ reveals how these ‘divine ideas’ are represented within the human psyche as symbols. The symbolism of myth and dreams illustrate the role they play in spiritual transformation. Sunday 9th June 10.00 -11.00am Susan Leybourne: The Tarot: A Guide Along the Path of Initiation The images on the 78 cards offer a coded guide to Hermetic wisdom, karma, spiritual alchemy, numerological and planetary factors as well as myth cycles and ancient archetypes. The Tarot reveals its mysteries by moving through deeper layers and levels meaning until the true purpose of the soul is revealed. 11.00 - 11.30pm Break (refreshments available) 11.30 - 12.30pm Ted Capstick: The Soul-based Principles of Astrology The emerging science of esoteric astrology explores the depths of the permanent soul rather than just the transient personality. These highly revealing techniques also assist in the alignment of consciousness with higher spiritual principles. 12.30 - 2.00pm Lunch (not included) 2.00 - 3.00pm Tim Wyatt: Alchemy: The Science of Spiritual Transformation Is it possible to turn lead into gold? Astonishingly, yes it is. But alchemy is deeply misunderstood. It is much more than just getting rich quick. On a spiritual rather than purely material level it offers us the potential of hugely accelerated evolution. 3.00 - 3.30pm Break (refreshments available) 3.30 - 4.30pm Graham Pemberton: Time for a New Paradigm – The Reunification of Science & Religion The paradigm of materialist science is outdated and a reconciliation of religion and science is the only way forward for humanity. But how have we got here? And where do we go? The work of some new paradigm scientists may be crucial. 4.30 - 5.00pm Final thoughts.

Contact: [email protected] The Art of Fortune-Taking People suffering grief or emotional distress turn to many places for comfort, which can make them a target of psychic scam artists. Stigma about falling for scams might prevent victims from seeking help. By Allie Weintraub According to a recent study by the Stanford Center on Longevity, scammers use persuasion tactics to elicit strong emotions from potential victims. This altered emotional state can make some targets, especially older adults, more likely to eventually fall for the scam. “It gets you in this frenzy of emotion,” said Cathy*, a Bedford Hills woman who alleges she was recently duped into giving $12,000 to a woman who claimed to possess psychic powers and had a history of identity theft and fraud accusations. Cathy, 64, recounted the ordeal after business hours in the law offices where she has worked as a legal assistant for the past 13 years. Cathy took the position because it was stable and paid enough to cover expenses with some left over to save each month. However, this year, Cathy began to feel the job wasn’t creative enough.
