GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ANGELS GUIDES & POWER ANIMALS

During this event we will explore simple and enjoyable ways to meet greet and work with the helpers who are only waiting to be invited into all aspects of our lives. Pat & friends present this one day workshop at The Park Hotel in Dungarvan or other appropriate venue.

REDISCOVERING YOUR SPIRITUAL NATURE

Finding the meaning and purpose of our lives is becoming more and more significant as circumstances move the focus of our lives away from ego and material based measurements of success. Regardless of your mythology or religious leanings this is a wonderful day long event to help you re-connect with your ‘God’ however you perceive Him or Her. Simple techniques that you can easily recall and use again and again are at the core of this workshop.
