    In this workshop we will be looking at how our past lives affect our present day living, and how the pain of the past is keeping us from being totally whole and complete in our everyday lives.

    If you can remember who you were in past lives you can remove all blockages from these lives including pains, fears, phobias, relationships problems and health difficulties we can heal through different past life regression techniques. By looking at your different reincarnations you will start to see unfolding in front of your eyes a new you, a changed you, a soul that is eternal that returns again and again to grow as a spiritual being to become stronger more loving, more caring, more balanced, and to one day, once again, to be united with spirit.

    We will be working and discovering who your soulmates are, and looking at the relationships you have had in the past with them as many of these relationships are created again in this life time. We will discover who our twin flame are, and where they are in our lives today, we shall also be looking at karma and how it affects us in our everyday life. We create our own reality; it is our own choice to step out of negative ways of living if it is not in tune with our life purpose.

    Also in the workshop we will be looking at dreams and visions and how they shape our free will and destiny, and how our guides and guardians come and teach us in the dreamtime about our past lives. We will also be using soul retrieval to help us to bring back the missing parts of our soul so that we can feel whole and complete again. By doing this we can walk into our future lives as fully realised human beings.

    know thyself; who you where, who you are now, and who you will become - past present future as one.

    Walk out of the past into the future with ‘the present’ of today.



    Deep within each and every one of us is a wise man or woman, waiting to awaken to our life’s purpose, desire and destiny.

    When we were little children we knew, and understood who we were and where we had come from, we lived our magical experiences, dancing and weaving throughout our childhood dreams, then we grew up and forgot who we where, and why we had come here.

    In this workshop we will explore, working with our Spirit Guides, Gatekeepers, and Ancestors, remembering our connection with them as little children when we played happily with joy and delight to see them around us.

    Now today in this fast pace of life, our souls have been buried and we thirst for fulfilment of our spiritual hunger, as we keep trying to fill the empty space with meaningless thoughts and actions.

    Every single one of us has the gift of seership within them, by empowering ourselves, trusting ourselves, holding true the visions we have seen since early childhood, and follow our dreams we can become self realised , and start the healing process within ourselves.

    We can start to see our soul mates, and the connections in all the relationships around us, past, present and the future, we can travel the time lines, and heal and love ourselves unconditionally.

    We have the love and support of our loved ones in the spirit world, as we connect to all that is, mother nature and father sky united as one, its time to reclaim our natural and ancient birthright, to connect to our spiritual nature, to move from self to the soul the heart of all knowing.

    We are tomorrows ancestors, let us reclaim our forgotten souls, and share with our future generations, how to walk between both worlds, that every experience has a purpose and a meaning, we need to follow our instincts, and our inner knowing, combining both our spirit guides and earth walkers, to bring us into balance as one.

    Come join me on a voyage of discovering your true wise and beautiful soul, which is ready to burst forth, like a seed emerging for the first time into the world of light, see this world through the eyes of a seer, your true self, reach for the stars, know that anything is possible if you believe and trust in yourself.



    Hand held shamanic drums are among the oldest know musical instruments, over the years their beat and rhythm have helped us to understand much about ourselves. Mother earth and nature with all its sounds has taught us all about music and given us the tools to make it. The skin from four legged animals which cover the drum, and the wood, from the tree people ,together remind us that life is a circle, no beginning no end.

    The symbology on the drum which reminds us of where we came from, and you the keeper of the drum, with your own vibration, own special sound connects us back to mother earth. The drum is her heart beat, it reconnects us back to her, we walk on this earth every day and sometimes we forget how much she has given us, when we work with the shamanic drum , it brings us back into balance with all of nature, and we listen once again to the rhythms of our own heartbeat.

    The drum is the spirit horse that carries us between the two worlds, taking us on a journey into new worlds, helping us to ride the tides of life, it touches memories inside each and every one of us something very deep, very old of a time when we came together as a people to drum, dance and sing rooting ourselves into the earth.

    In this workshop we will work with the different beats , different sounds , using them in healing, meditation, journey work ,trance, dance , songs , and many other ways. We will drum in the different sacred directions, honouring each one , so we have a greater understanding of the way of the drum. Our greatest teacher is ourselves listen to your heartbeat though the drum and then you will know yourself.

    All drums will be provided



    When we were children we were all psychic. We were all born with this wonderful gift and ability to be able to see the world of spirit. We all naturally loved life and spirit with its gifts surrounding us. Many believed in spirits, fairy's, dragons, and imaginary friends, and for a lot of us they were real, they really did exist. Then one day we grew up and we forgot.

    Now its time to unlock your intuition, set free all the boundaries that have been placed there by life and look again at who we are. There are so many different paths that you can walk down. After some years comes a wisdom of life and understanding about your own sacred space. No matter what age you are let us take the time to prepare for a new awareness to enter into our lives, as we think so it is , we create who we are, now its time for you to open up to a new wondrous world of spirit which is within you, and around you always, for the world of spirit is only a thought away.

    In this workshop we will be looking at new ways to open you up to your natural intuition so you enjoy what you are creating. We will gather all the right ingredients together looking at our psychic tools, learn about grounding, centering and protection. Using your clairsentience, clairvoyance, and clairaudience abilities you will really start opening up to the world of spirit. As we will link to this world it will be possible to reach out to our loved ones, bridging the gap that has been put there by our misunderstandings and fears. You will learn the true integration of psychic and self, discovering the real you and your link to other worlds.



    Healing crystals and ancient stones have been honoured and used by medicine people healers and shamans since the beginning of time. The knowledge of our ancient past has been recorded in almost every ancient society though out the world. In some shamanic cultures they believed that the shaman held a special crystal within his or her body and this inner wisdom was used to help and assist with journeying to the spirit world for help with healing & divination.

    In the first part of this workshop we will look at how we use our crystal helpers to journey and connect to the spirit of the stone people. To build up a relationship with our healing crystal we will also look at how we can travel to the dream time and explore the different ways of distant healing. We will look at cleansing and smudging of our sacred crystals and stones.

    In the second part of this workshop we will look at soul retrieval and extractions using our shamanic crystals, in addition we will take a journey with our crystals to search for our inner visions and make a connection with our spirit guides and helpers.

    Our ancestors taught us many things let us not forget.

    Barbara has been working in the field of shamanic healing for over thirty years, learning the Celtic, and druid healing ways, and combining it with the teachings of the native American medicine people, that she has been working with, Barbara is also working along side doctors and psychologists to bridge the gap between the conventional medicine and complementary medicines though the world of shamanic healing.

    Please bring with you, a crystal, stone, feather, and an open heart.



    Since the beginning of time we have all walked the shamanic path it is our natural birthright and it is now time to reclaim what is rightfully ours. Shamanism is an ancient timeless knowledge, waiting to be uncovered, for within each and every one of us is the healer, teacher, medicine man or woman, singer, poet, dancer and musician. To be able to open the doors and see, to walk between two worlds that of the everyday world and the spiritual world, it is now time to be in the present , and to bring into balance all our gifts and natural talents that have lain dormant for all these years and dance your inner child alive.

    In this workshop we will start to explore all theses possibilities ,and in so doing so the magic will begin, we will start with medicine wheel work, and then take a shamanic journey to discover your power animals. Though dance and song we will explore your inner vision of seership, working between the two worlds , meeting your spirit guides , and linking with them , we will then look at shamanic healing using a variety of different tools to assist us with our work , we will also look at our shadow self and use our mirror masks to reveal who we truly are , this will be a day of laughter , dance , song , music , and empowerment, using drums , rattles, flutes and many other tools, all musical instruments will be available , wear loose comfortable clothing , Freedom is knowing you have the wings to fly and having the courage to do so , the time is now .



    The origins of the flute lie deep within the cultures of the ancient people who did not have written music. All the spiritual songs and techniques were passed down by the elders though rituals and practice, their music coming from the heart with emotions, feelings and understanding.

    Many of us have forgotten these teachings, but when we start to create music from within ourselves, working with the flute, it teaches us about what is already inside. The beautiful sometimes haunting sounds will start to emerge though the life force of our breath and music of our soul - 'be still and know thyself' - is an old ancient saying for out of the song comes the wisdom and knowledge that only you can bring forth. Nobody else can do that for you. Without using words let the music of your soul touch and reconnect the very core of your being.

    In this workshop you will discover that you do not need to know or read music as you play from the heart - it is so easy to do. The most ancient of peoples are the tree people, who are the flute. They know the songs of the flute should be shared with everyone. The only thing you will need is yourself and a deep passion to awaken your spiritual song through your breath - come and try it, it is so freeing.

    All flutes will be provided



    Deep within each and every one of us is an intense call to reawaken ourselves to our feminine spirit which has been asleep for thousands of years. Many of us have looked for the right person to come along to ignite our passion, but when we come to the realisation that it is not outside but within ourselves then we become empowered to really understand and awaken to our true selves. The result is our gifts and talents flow effortlessly as we reawaken to who we truly are.

    Now is the time for your journey one you have been waiting for , for deep inside of you is a calling to discover yourself, to know your real name , to sing your spirit alive , to dance yourself into bliss and joy, to laugh until your heart is full of love and life , to smile and set the world alight with your passion and fire, to look deep into the windows of your soul though the eyes of trust, and understand that you are beautiful , unique, and special, because there is only one of you in this entire universe for the goddess resides in you. In this workshop we will be looking at the myths, legends, of the goddess, and learn how we can welcome this beautiful energy into our every day life, though dance ,song, music, poetry, all you need is an open heart for you already know her , it is she who moves you into the dance , she is the music of your life , it is time . All drums , flutes , dance skirts ,and music will be provided .



    The smudging ceremony has been a sacred ritual for the native Americans and for many tribal people for thousands of years . It is a ritual of cleansing and purification for the physical and spiritual bodies. It is used to clear energy fields. Each and every one of us has an auric field which can take on negative energy if not cleared. The sage clears and centers us in a grounded way, bringing our physical body and our spiritual body together into an understanding that we are all related and interconnected with each other, animals, plants, rock, crystals, elements, and all of nature.

    In this workshop we will learn how to work with sage and other herbs native to our lands. We will work with the elements, directions , and tools learning how to smudge rooms to create a sacred space, cleaning of your own energy field, and that of others for healing , smudging your personal crystals and tools , using feathers as a fan to cleanse and clear and change everything around you , also learning about sweetgrass, cedar, and other herbs.

    We will be taking a shamanic journey with your chosen herb, to learn about the medicine of our inner self. Throughout this world there is a herb or plant that can cure any illness. We need to go back and honour the wisdom of our ancestors who understood the old ways and integrate the old with the new, bringing all our relations together as one people, one tribe, honouring who you are though the ways of sacred ceremony and sacred herbs.



    Since the beginning of tribal life in Scotland, there has always been both woman and men who have worked with nature, the elements, herbs, and seership.

    They were known as soothsayers, healers, magicians, witches and wizards and they lived and worked among all peoples in harmony and in balance long before the Romans ever set foot on the lands and hills of Scotland, bringing Christianity with them.

    By about 750ad Scotland was inhabited by many different tribes, including the Scots, Picts, Britons, and English, who eventually supported and followed a Christian tradition to the detriment of the Pagan and Wiccan communities.

    At the beginning of the 16th century the great Scottish witch trials took place where ancient paganism and magical beliefs, which had remained in place for all these centuries, were changed and driven underground. The practice of PectiWita (Scottish Wicca) was first made heresy by the church, and then by the political government of the day. Those in religious and political positions of power used false trials against earth loving peoples who worshipped the Goddess and used death by fire and water as a tool to purge those who were seen to be dangerous, or those who did not conform to what the institutions wanted. People whose beliefs were to honour mother earth, who had a simple creed to ‘do anything as long as it did not harm others’ were ruthlessly exploited by methods of extortion. Often those in authority used the threat of death as a means to gain land and hold the balance of power over the ‘people’. Also they blamed all types of ailments on those who were called witches or warlocks, whether they were rich or poor, young or old, it made no difference.

    It took many decades, even centuries for the Christian Church to finally get hold of the power base. First churches were built on the ancient sites with a door in the East for the PectiWita and Pagans, these ancient peoples were driven into these houses of God with threats of the Monarchy through manufactured laws taking over their land and houses. Initially one half of the church was used by the PectiWita Pagan based peoples and then as the Church gained total control the East door became the door of the Devil and was closed for as long as the Christian Church held power. Fortunately today the old ways of honouring the Earth and each other are starting to return.

    In this talk you will firstly learn about the ancient ways of the wise, the history of the Scottish witches and wizards, and who they were, you will also learn the differences between Scottish witchcraft call PectiWita the craft of the picts from the highlands of Scotland, and the traditional craft of England called Wicca.

    Barbara was born in Inverness the capital of the highlands, where the Pictish capital in the sixth century was also in Inverness. She grew up in nature learning from the elements, the trees, the animals, when she was twelve years old she met Swain MacDonald the highland seer, who became her spiritual father, and under Swains guidance he help her to discover the Druid, Pagan, and ancient ways of the old Craft of the picts .

    Today she interweaves all her knowledge together into one large cauldron of life, combining all the gifts she has been given so that she can share them with everyone she meets and bring the wisdom of the ancients and wise ones into the 21st century.



    From Within our ancient Celtic, Druid, Pagan, and Wiccan traditions from this land , we do most of our ritual, ceremony, and spell work within a circle, by casting our circle we call up our ancestors to work with us to create magic and to enter into a altered state of consciousness, to step into the space between the worlds, and to honor the divine within ourselves .

    The boundaries of the circle are protected by the elements and the deities who we call in and honour within our sacred circle. Come join me in creating a sacred circle, learn all about altars,and the herbs and incenses used in the sacred spaces, and how to cast a circle and call in the elements and deities.

    We will also be looking at directing and releasing energy within the circle, and the different tools used. As above so below let us learn together and we shall grow. Blessed be .



    For thousands of years people have been using ancient ways of seeing (scrying) into the past, present and the future, using many different crystals , stones, water, sand, clouds, fire mirrors, and many more tools. Scrying is the doorway into time and space , and by gazing into the object it produces a light hypnotic trance , that allows you to see information, for both yourself and others, which arrives in the form of pictures, symbols, letters, impressions, and sensations. You will also learn how to charge your tools and crystals, ready for the journey.

    Come with me and step though the doorways of time and discover your inner seer, and connect with the spirit of the crystals, rocks, fire, water, and of all living things.

    All scrying tools will be provided but please bring your own crystals and stones.



    From the beginning of time seership was revealed unto those who searched for the truth of the universe , for seership is the birthright of every soul.

    Seership proves to yourself that you have the power within yourself, and that you can control your own destiny , it is also about gaining knowledge of your spirit self, which has lived throughout all your many past lives, and can be brought into this life time to access your hidden wisdom and truth, that has been kept from you. We will be journeying on our time lines, to work with the world of spirit, with our visions, healing, and premonitions.

    The seer hears and understands the voices that speak to them, both in this reality and in the dream time, and knows the connection to all living things. Come and re awake within you the art of seership, by understanding that there is no limits to human knowledge, it will answer your life’s questions you have been asking and it will awaken the life force within you, and unveil the unseen world to you also .

    It is time to wake up, for you have been in a deep sleep, and it is time to wake up and honour who you are , and where you have come from.



    Since the beginning of time we have all walked the Shamanic Path, it is our natural birthright, and it is now time to reclaim what is rightfully ours .Many of us have been disconnected from our homelands due to our forefathers leaving for other lands, leaving behind a rich heritage steeped in magic and mystery, to go to new lands and new cultures.

    Today many of us want to reconnect and find out who we where, where we came from, so that we can then start to become a part of the history of the land that our ancestors left long ago.

    In this workshop we will start by honouring our ancestors who weaved shamanism into an ancient timeless knowledge, by working and connecting to the spirits of the land of your birth, we will open the doors and walk between the world of the everyday world and that of the spiritual worlds using your inner vision of seership. By connecting to our earth wisdom ways we can start to take a journey along our ley lines of life, tracking our history through past life reconnection, to theses lands, to have a deeper understanding of our past gifts and natural talents that have lain dormant for all theses years, it is time to awaken to who you really are.

    We will travel as our ancestors did all those years ago becoming the shape shifter moving in-between the worlds of the seen and unseen to transform ourselves into singer, dancer, poet, musician, storyteller, wisdom keeper, teacher, healer of our own truths and becoming one with the world of the sacred, and experiencing the oneness in all things, and feeling once again connected to your natural earth traditions, a feeling of coming home to yourself of the circle being complete .



    Do you want to learn how to cast spells, to find your soul mate, success at work, money and prosperity, and how to protect your self and your loved ones?

    In this two hour workshop you will learn how to work with lotions, potions, candles, herbs, and incenses. You will also learn the best times for different kinds of magic, such as the phases of the moon or sun, the seasons and festivals, the flow of the tides, and the effect of the planets. Creating your own spells is very easy. You will learn the basic rules of magic, spell work for attracting, banishing, and binding.

    You will learn about psychic protection, creating your own spell book, your book of shadows. You will take part in casting a circle, work with the elements, and learn how working with colours can direct the spell towards a purpose and goal.

    It is time to make your wish. By working with your magical and psychic powers, you can create your very own empowering spells, for yourself and others. Come join me on a journey of self discovery. Please bring with you a notebook and pen; a crystal, amulet or talisman; and your thoughts and intentions of the spell you wish to cast.



    Since the beginning of time, every culture has had a deep respect for observing wise customs and maintaining boundaries between themselves and harmful energies, both from the Spirit world and the people around them.

    In our world today we have problems with not knowing how to protect ourselves. We have forgotten how to use our basic instincts. We are allowing both our fears and other people’s fears to affect us. This in turn causes problems on many different levels of our life, including health and relationships problems.

    Cause and effect works on many levels. All our thoughts, intentions, and deeds have a profound effect upon both the physical and metaphysical sides of this world. We need to look at how our thoughts and feelings affect others.

    By learning the sacred art of Psychic protection, you will begin to understand psychic attack, both where it comes from and how you can stop power loss from your energies being depleted by others and yourself. By setting your sacred boundaries, you will be keeping your connection to the source of all life. In this workshop you will also learn about keeping your house clear of any uninvited guests, transforming negative feelings into powerful positive ones.

    By walking between the worlds you will be able to connect with your gatekeepers and protectors to ensure that your psychic protection is in place at all times, including the dreamtime. You will also learn all about psychic self defence and how to create your own destiny.

    When you open the doors to the Spirit world, your psychic awakening takes place. To ensure balance in your life at all times, you need to understand when it is time to close those doors to rest, nurture, and take care of you.

    Please bring with you a purple candle for a releasing ceremony, and a notebook and pen.



    Every single one of us is psychic, and therefore has the ability to link and connect with the Spirit world.

    In this one day workshop, we will explore the realms of the Spirit worlds, making our connection with our Spirit guides, gatekeepers and protectors. We will learn about travelling on the time lines to discover your own soul records, unlocking your ancient knowledge and helping you deepen your abilities of mediumship and trance.

    The more you link with the Spirit world, the quicker you will develop your gifts.

    Today you will learn about clairvoyance and the deepening trance states. You will learn about overshadowing, and each and every one of you coming to the workshop will have your own time to sit in the trance state, and to work with your mediumship. We will also look at direct voice, table tilting, and many other fascinating aspects of mediumship and trance.

    Two other experienced mediums will be with me to watch, help and assist your every step. You will leave as caring and professional ambassadors for the spirit world

    Please make sure you wear loose comfortable clothing, and bring plenty of water. We will be working in a dark room, so please ensure your clothing is dark in colour.
