Featured workshops...

	Susan Joy Rennison - Tuning the Diamonds Susan Joy Rennison will be talking about her sensational & groundbreaking book, 'Tuning the Diamonds: Electromagnetism and Spiritual Evolution' in the Out of the Ordinary arena. As we approach 2012, there has been a dramatic shift of energies and planet Earth is experiencing a deluge of evolutionary energies. Whilst many are mystified, Susan Joy Rennison has used her knowledge, gained from over 25 years seeking truth, to explain that humanity is facing the next rung of the evolutionary ladder and that evolutionary change is being driven by "New Energy" coming from deep space. This book is backed up with over 750 individual references, providing solid and comprehensive support to claims being by Mayan Elders and mystics. Consequently, 'Tuning the Diamonds', has achieved academic recognition and has been placed in the United Kingdom National Archive to be preserved for "present and future generations" and is now considered "national heritage". www.joyfirepublishing.com
	First Nature – Body, Breath and Voice work First Nature is an association which promotes self-understanding and transformation through the enjoyable means of liberating body, breath, voice and hearing in the context of developing a compassionate approach to ourselves and the world we move in. Simple exercises to Ease your body, Free your breath, and Energize your voice. First Nature is based on the understanding that everybody has an authentic voice although this is often obscured for many reasons. Through subtle body work using breath, movement and sound it is possible to free energy blockages enabling the individual to release the voice from constraint and constriction. Therefore no previous experience in voicework is necessary to fully benefit from this work. Check it out in the Out of the Ordinary arena.
