02-06-09	Interacting with Orbs
	Speaker: Angela Latham
	Images of orbs have been appearing worldwide in photographs since the advent of digital cameras, yet they remain a mystery. Are they spirits, fairies, angels or ETs? Are they manifestations of life-forms or energy manifestations from other dimensions? Do they co-exist with us just out of sight? How are they linked with earth energies? Angela Latham and Steve Douglas are dowsers who have been investigating the phenomena since attending the international conference on Orbs held at Glastonbury last year. They have taken thousands of photographs and offer tips on how to shoot them and distinguish between genuine Orbs and the look-alike reflections of dust or moisture in the air. They will show Orbs displaying a fascinating variety of size and colour, appearing as disks or spheres, moving at great speed and - most intriguingly - responding to their requests. They have also discovered an ability to photograph other light forms - intentionally generated thought forms and balls of natural chi energy. Some orbs appear resident in a particular locality and became regular visitors, indoors and out. Some are playful and willing to actively engage with the viewer, others seem shy while appearing to be curious. Increasingly, Angela has had encounters which indicate conscious intelligence and responsiveness to her intent. Steve often sees them with the naked eye and has begun to feel their energy with his hands. They know that any anthropomorphic attributes have to be lightly given and that Orbs continue to be the enigma of our times

05-05-09	Earth Grids: The Secret Patterns of Gaia's Sacred Sites
	Speaker: Hugh Newman
	Is there a geometrical energy system that surrounds our planet? A super grid involving polyhedral forms, ley lines, earth energy currents, cymatics and archaeoastronomical alignments? Prehistoric maps reveal that the ancients were surveying the Earth in the distant past and there is good evidence that our ancestors were up to something we have long forgotten. From UFO flight-paths to anti-gravity and crop circles, the grid has many astonishing claims attached to it. Hugh has also found evidence in South America that the Michael and Mary energy lines are a global phenomenon and megalithic sites enhance these natural energies for various purposes. This multi-media presentation unravels the many grid theories to give an overview of this incredible subject

07-04-09	The Wessex Astrum: Sacred Geometry in a Mystical Landscape
	Speaker: Peter Knight

03-03-09	The Secret of Sele
	Speaker: Bob Brown
	Bob Brown will give his fascinating talk with detailed slides about the enigmatic configuration of ancient churches that he has discovered in the Sussex landscape. These mysterious patterns occur near Shoreham by Sea. So far for there is no received explanation for this ecclesiastical grid! The mystical layout centres round the mediaeval Benedictine Priory of Sele in the valley of the River Adur. Bob will describe the location and background of the mystery, offer possible explanations and invite comments and suggestions. This amazing grid is possibly the work of the knights Templar and has to be seen to be believed. Anybody that is interested in the placement and alignment of ancient churches should not miss this once in a life time talk.

03-02-09	Nature Awareness and Communicating With Nature
	Speaker: Thomas Schorr-Kon
	Developing Nature Awareness means expanding our awareness and tapping into our innate abilities to perceive beyond the physical, in order to unfold a greater awareness and union with the natural world. Apache Scouts were masters of invisibility, stalking, camouflage and tracking, developing profound connection with the life force energy in all things in order to survive in the wild. In practical terms, Nature Awareness is developed through learning and practicing a variety of skills. These skills translate effectively into our modern lives today, by enhancing our ability to work with energy, helping us develop an attitude of honour and care towards the environment and deepening our understanding of our birthright as children of the Earth

06-01-09	Energy Pendulums and Devices
	Speaker: Sandy McKenzie
	This presentation will reveal how In the early and mid twentieth century, French physicists and engineers developed Scientific pendulums and energy measurement devices that did not rely on mental questions by the dowser. These tools can detect the frequencies and the quality of energetic emissions from people, objects and places. They can also be used to change frequency patterns to correct imbalances or to create beneficial energies. Sandy will demonstrate these pendulums and measurement tools and you will have an opportunity to use them as well

02-12-08	The Galaxy Song
	Speaker: Dave Molz
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	By turning the room into a huge model of the Solar System (and beyond) cosmologist Dave Molz takes you on a lyrical journey, graphically demonstrating the motion of the Earth, Moon, Planets and even the Galaxy itself. Along the way he lays bare the movement of the Planets and Sun through the zodiac, what happens at Solstice / Equinoxes (including the perplexing 'precession of the equinoxes'), the Earths infamous 2012 alignment with the black hole at the centre of our Galaxy, the still point of the Solar System and much more! As if that isn't enough, after the talk Dave will give one of his renowned laser guided sky tours pointing out the winter constellations, commenting on their individual stars and the myths and legends associated with them. Be part of this fascinating talk and sky show

04-11-08	A Magical Journey Through Celtic Ogham Tree Law
	Speaker: Susan Hall
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	Susan is an esoteric teacher and healer. She is an animal communicator and has been initiated into the shamanic tradition of Munay-Ki as an Earth-Keeper for the time to come. Susan connects with the energy of trees on a daily basis in her healing and divinatory work. This magical talk is an introduction to an ancient series of symbols known as Ogham (oh-ham). These symbols can be used, together with their individual Celtic name, or mantra, to connect with the secret wisdom of our ancestors in order to facilitate healing, manifest our dreams, and encourage self-empowerment. We will discover each symbol relates to a specific tree and that it is by accessing the energies of the trees, using the Ogham symbols, that we can re-awaken our own innate awareness of the inter-connection between all of Creation. When we work with this ancestral knowledge, we help to create a vortex of light from deep within the Earth's core, spreading through and connecting our personal and Universal energies. It is within this vortex that healing and magic can occur. This talk will be presented on the eve of Samhain a very magical day.

07-10-08	Energies of Our Journey
	Speaker: Joy Youngman
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	Joy is fascinated with how we work with and channel the energies of the earth, the universe and spiritual realms. She would like in the future to prove scientifically that we do change the vibrational energy of those around us when we work as healers. Joy will cover various aspects of this during her talk. These will include The Kabbalah and Tree of Life, particularly relevant as it is currently Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year). Also how we all can utilise and work with different vibration energies, the energy fields of Healing, Music, Sound, Channeling and Mediumship. As part of the talk Joy will give a demonstration of the different vibrational energies including Mediumship and Channelling.

12-09-08	Out of the Ordinary Festival
Sussex	Out of the Ordinary is a unique three day event (12-14 Sept) set in the beautiful fields and woodland of the Sussex downs. A community festival of discovery, celebration and family fun with a foot in the past and a mind to the future – guaranteed to inspire positive change in our daily lives, weaving magic out of the ordinary. Out of the Ordinary Festival

02-09-08	The New Physics of Consciousness
	Speaker: David Ash
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	David Ash, a current Templeton Prize nominee, has integrated Science and Spirituality through the rediscovery of an ancient lost knowledge. Could there be more reasons to believe in angels and quarks in the virtual particles of quantum mechanics? After his talk, David will give a profound experience of the spiritual energies through the Sacred Sabi's ceremony he brought back from Thailand, which goes back millennia to ancient Siam.

05-08-08	The Ancient Science of Feng Shui
	Speaker: Jinpa Smith
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	Traditional Feng Shui, as it is known today, describes an ancient Chinese system perfected over 5,000 years. This was practiced and refined through the centuries and today is a complex art, which nevertheless, has its roots in science. Practitioners study the energy patterns in the electromagnetic spectrum, and the ways this energy interacts with the planet and the individuals living on it. They take into account time and space through the use of compass bearings and the solar cycle. In this sense, Feng Shui is not 'eastern' or even 'mystical'. It is based on the laws of nature. Indeed, many cultures have their own systems of Feng Shui. The more we live in harmony with the natural cycles of the universe, the more our lives will become harmonious and balanced. Therefore, Feng Shui is a system that can be used anywhere in the world, at any time, and does not rely on belief or even on positive thinking - it works because it is a systematic way of analysing and Jinpa is an expert and will be presenting her fascinating talk and workshop to the society. http://www.jinpasmith.co.uk/

03-06-08	Movements of the Solar System
	Speaker: Dave Molzs
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	Find out where you are in the universe! - a graphic journey through the Earth, Moon, Sun and Planets all via the Zodiac Constellations and Galactic Centre Point

06-05-08	What is Sacred Geometry ?
	Speaker: Stephen Edward Meakin
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	Sacred Geometry is THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE UNIVERSE. An introduction to this most mystical of Arts by Master Mandala Artist, Architect and Antiquarian, Stephen Edward Meakin. The perfect and timeless realities of geometry are THE fundamental concepts of the universe. . THE first archetypes! Sacred Geometry is literally The Architecture of the Universe. Anywhere in this cosmos, the Circle, Triangle, Square, Hexagon, etc. remain the same unchanging archetypes. Sacred Geometry is pure universal truth springing directly from The Universal Mind. Worlds turn in Sacred Geometry, and the galaxies spin because of it.

01-04-08	The Heart Chakra of Stonehenge, Avebury and Glastonbury
	Speaker: Steven Ash
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	The resonance of the Heart of Gaia is within the geographical triangle of Avebury, Stonehenge and Glastonbury(the area of most crop circle appearance) The activation of the ancient temple structures in this area is stimulating a change in the energetic structure of the human heart of us mother Earths children; the change inside each one of us is manifesting as three distinct heart flames , each heart flame has a distinct pattern of actions relative to our behaviour.

04-03-08	Astronomy of the Ancients
	Speaker: James Mitchell
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	James talk will focus on astronomy's growth through theology, philosophy and science. James studied astrophysics at SussexUniversity before turning his attentions to ancient sites of astronomical interest around the world. The focus of the talk rests primarily with the relics left by the ancients as a tribute to their respect and appreciation of the heavens. From New England to China and covering the last five thousand years of history the material covered is presented as an accessible and personal journey of discovery.

05-02-08	Stone Age Survival
	Speaker: Hugh Newman
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	Earth energies, Megaliths and ancient nutrition. How the ancients used earth mounds, big stones and magnetic earth energy currents to enhance seeds, promote fertility and re-mineralise their food. With dowsing, the ancients could even locate underground water, test for poisonous foods and locate magnetic telluric lines of energy. Stone circles and dolmens acted at electrifiers to enhance seed quality and yield, and even helped keep us humans fertile, as many of the local legends state. There is new evidence that agriculture succeeded soon after the construction of stone circles.

08-01-08	Introduction to Astro-Archaeology
	Speaker: Stuart Mason
	Venue: Friends Meeting House, Ship Street , Brighton.
	A guided tour around astronomical alignments at ancient sites around the world. This talk is a must see for anyone wishing to understand the terminology and witness the startling natural effects found within the subject. Stuart's talk is delivered in such a way as to encourage the amateur archaeologist in all of us to get out into the field and find alignments. A discussion on how the sun, moon, stars and planets are encoded into ancient temples, stone circles and pyramids. He will explore rises, sets of celestial bodies and how shadow can move at ancient sites around the world.
