Tel: (01503) 250767 · email: [email protected] Website: www.Resonance.org.uk A s we approach 21.12.2012 and the beginning of what many spiritual teachers are calling a ‘Golden New Era’ - The Isbourne Holistic Centre prepares to bring two remarkable catalysts of change to Cheltenham. Firstly, Diana Cooper - renowned spiritual author and angel communicator - will be giving a talk and workshop on 14th and 15th Sept. respectively, sharing wisdom from her latest book Transition to the New Golden Age in 2032. Secondly, Jamie Catto - the creative catalyst behind both global philosophy and music project 1 Giant Leap and dance mega group Faithless – will give a mini workshop titled, Transforming the Shadows: Unleash Your Creative Genius, on Monday 24th September, helping people break through to their unlimited creative potential. Diana Cooper’s talk, Guidance for the Great Transition, on Friday 14th September (Held at St. Andrew’s Church 7.00pm–8.30pm followed by tea & book signings) will reveal the extraordinary energies now being made available to help us navigate the shift and share tools for keeping safe and attaining balance and harmony. In her workshop, Transition to the Golden Age, on Saturday 15th September (10am-5pm at the Isbourne Centre), she will explain how to connect with divine guidance to help you find satisfying work, discover your true path, heal relationships, unite families and lead others through the Transition. She will also share worldwide forecasts for the next twenty years. In his ‘shadow-creativity’ workshop to be held at Cheltenham Town Hall (24th September, 7.00-8.30pm, followed by tea), Jamie Catto will inspire you to dare to show your hidden self, authentically expressing what’s going on in the chaos of your shadow with all its doubts and vulnerability – so you can tap into your most powerful creativity. As Carl Jung said, “The Gold in the Dark,” and Jamie has inspired thousands to face down their repressed shadow selves and unlock their creative treasure. “It’s when we dare to reveal the truth that we unwittingly give everyone else permission to do the same,” Jamie explains. If we can all collectively acknowledge our insanity, shrug and roll our eyes at each other at how nuts it is being a human, let alone having to pretend every day that we’re normal, the amount of energy we’ll inherit that has been wasted on the mask will be enough to creatively solve any global crisis.” For further information/bookings for these and other Isbourne events visit www.isbourne.org or call 01242 254321.

Era’ - The Isbourne Holistic Centre prepares to bring two remarkable catalysts of change to Cheltenham.Firstly, Diana Cooper - renowned spiritual author and angel communicator - will be giving a talk and workshop on 14th and 15th Sept. respectively, sharing wisdom from her latest book Transition to the New Golden Age in 2032. Secondly, Jamie Catto - the creative catalyst behind both global philosophy and music project 1 Giant Leap and dance mega group Faithless – will give a mini workshop titled, Transforming the Shadows: Unleash Your Creative Genius, on Monday 24th September, helping people break through to their unlimited creative potential. Diana Cooper’s talk, Guidance for the Great Transition, on Friday 14th September (Held at St. Andrew’s Church 7.00pm–8.30pm followed by tea & book signings) will reveal the extraordinary energies now being made available to help us navigate the shift and share tools for keeping safe and attaining balance and harmony.

In her workshop, Transition to the Golden Age, on Saturday 15th September (10am-5pm at the Isbourne Centre), she will explain how to connect with divine

guidance to help you find satisfying work, discover your true path, heal relationships, unite families and lead others through the Transition. She will

also share worldwide forecasts for the next twenty years. In his ‘shadow-creativity’ workshop to be held at Cheltenham Town Hall (24th September, 7.00-8.30pm, followed by tea), Jamie Catto will inspire you to dare to show your hidden self, authentically expressing what’s going on in the chaos of your shadow with all its doubts and vulnerability – so you can tap into your most powerful creativity. As Carl Jung said, “The Gold in the Dark,” and Jamie has inspired thousands to face down their repressed shadow selves and unlock their creative treasure. “It’s when we dare to reveal the truth that we unwittingly give everyone else permission to do the same,” Jamie explains. If we can all collectively acknowledge our insanity, shrug and roll our eyes at each other at how nuts it is being a human, let alone having to pretend every day that we’re normal, the amount of energy we’ll inherit that has been wasted on the mask will be enough to creatively solve any global crisis.”
