Come out and say hello to RPPD 2008’s Special Guest Speaker, Grandmother Elspeth of Haven. 

 

7:30 pm -  Spirit Journey: A JOURNEY INTO HEALING                  Admission $10
This is a special journey work session which Grandmother Elspeth is facilitating.   Space is limited, so please get your tickets quickly!

 

This journey is a present life regression for the purpose of recognizing wounds and healing them. You will have the opportunity to examine neglected, wounded, and painful places in your life; and to heal them.  Do not eat just before this working; bring something to lie down on, and prepare to work hard.

 

From Grandmother Elspeth: "Over the years, I have told stories under many circumstances, for  many reasons.   There have been stories to illustrate a point, stories to guide or counsel, stories to amuse.  These journeys are, in a sense, stories – stories concerning you; some of the parts of you that are deep inside, hidden maybe even from yourself.  The purpose of these journeys is to learn more about your inner self, to open you to other available energies, and to work with those insights .......I call these stories “spirit journeys” because they are meant to be more than just stories. These spirit journeys are designed to take you into hypnotic trance.  If you will allow it, you can move into other, non-physical, life planes..  my voice will journey with you as you explore some of your possibilities."

 

Tickets on sale now at Psychic’s Thyme!
