Findhorn Angels and Beyond
Dorothy has an inspiring story to tell of how she came into contact with angels (or devas) during her time at Findhorn, and what that relationship has meant to her over the years. For Dorothy, this inner contact has provided a wholeness and richness to life, allowing deeper understanding of and participation in all of creation.

About Dorothy Maclean
Dorothy is one of the three founders, along with Eileen Caddy and Peter Caddy, of the Findhorn Community. After ten years of attunement with the God within herself, Dorothy’s inner connection asked her to tune into the nature forces. This led to conscious cooperation with the angels of different species of vegetables and plants, and resulted in the remarkable Findhorn garden. Dorothy now lives in the Pacific northwest of the USA and travels around the world giving talks and workshops. Her latest book is called Choices of Love.

Dorothy’s workshop at the conference:

God, Humanity and Nature

In this workshop Dorothy shares her experiences of how years of inner listening led to contacting the angelic kingdom, and the group will be led to make their own individual inner contacts. This will be followed by connection with some aspects of nature, of the vegetable, mineral or animal kingdom. Then
other dimensions of the angelic kingdom will be discussed and contacted, in particular angels of modern human associations such as those of. a city, family or country. It is a matter of recognising these invisible allies, how they affect our current lives, and how that helps us in everyday living and growth.

Angels as Companions
Intuition and guidance are the vessels through which the Divine reaches our conscious mind. There are levels of the quality and intensity of guidance and it is crucial now for all individuals who willingly invoke the guidance of their angels to understand the nature of the spiritual discipline and responsibility that accompanies the desire to establish an intimate bond with one’s guide. This presentation will explore what is required of people who reach for conscious, angelic companionship.

Caroline’s workshop at the conference:

Understanding the Archetypal Nature of Angels and Guides

Stories of angels and guides fill the pages of all sacred scriptures – our world abounds with these beings. They are messengers from heaven and their roles in the spiritual soul of humanity are very specific. They each have their own arena of rulership, some have authority that extends throughout the soul of humanity and others are “assigned” the role of personal spirit guide. The roles of these Beings of Light are archetypal, noted throughout the history of humanity and within all cultures as having the same traits and patterns of interactions with human beings. This workshop explores this area of delightful spiritual knowledge.

The Weave and the Magic

The angel reality is interwoven in the substance of everything – from the stars to the cells in our bodies. This presentation will take us into an understanding and experience of this greater reality.

About William Bloom
At the age of 25 William Bloom took a two-year retreat in order to contact his Holy Guardian Angel. He is one of Britain’s leading holistic teachers and the author of many books including How to Work with Angels.

William’s workshop at the conference:

The Magic of Ceremony

This workshop is divided into two parts. In the first half William will celebrate the most famous angelic ceremony of the western world, the Holy Communion, or Eucharist, of the Christian tradition. He will facilitate the group towards understanding and experiencing the angelic presence. The group will then move on from Cluny College to perform an earth spirit ceremony on the spiral which winds around Cluny Hill. The group will gather again with William to discuss their experience.

Angels in Community

Spiritual community is the way of the future and angels are waiting and willing to support the creation of villages and cities of light. For members of light communities to demonstrate to humanity how to live at a fifth dimensional level, the guidance, inspiration and healing presence of the angelic forces is essential. Diana Cooper will share dreams and impressions she has received from the angelic realms about the
importance of communities. We will look at their role in forming portals for the angels of light to enter the planet. She will discuss how you can make a deeper connection with the angels, how angels can help to heal relationships between people and how to access their help to spread peace.

About Diana Cooper
Diana Cooper is a therapist, healer and international author of seven books. The angels asked her to introduce them to people, and she has appeared frequently on television and in the press spreading their light. The angels touch, inspire and heal people through her.

Diana’s workshop at the conference:

Angel Inspiration

Diana will help you to deepen your relationship with your Guardian Angel. Angels and ascended masters will set you free, today, so that you can activate your life mission. In a powerful angel meditation we will raise our vibrations to connect with the archangels and seraphim to reach the blazing throne of God Himself. Together we will bring great light into your life and into Findhorn.

The Tree of Life, Connecting the Many Orders of Life in Harmony

The Tree of Life is found in many spiritual traditions worldwide. Many of the concepts and symbols of the Tree of Life are found in Jewish and Sufi Kabbalah, deriving from ancient oral wisdom traditions. The major Tree of Life traditions in the West come from a fusion of Greek, Celtic, Jewish and Arabic
sources. The Tree is a harmonious “Master Key” or symbol that brings all other symbols together in our understanding. It can be used directly in meditation and spiritual perception and is very effective in our own language, whatever that may be. After hearing this presentation and taking part in the meditation you will be able to begin to work with the Tree of Life in your own spiritual understanding.

Reconnecting with Invisible Worlds through the Shamanic Journey

Sandra will speak about the cross-cultural practice of shamanism: the universal basic method of the shaman to enter non ordinary reality for problem solving, well-being and healing. She will lecture on how shamans cross-culturally view illness, as well as how to bridge and apply the ancient shamanic journeying and healing techniques in our lives. Sandra is currently working on a new book, Let There Be Light: Healing the Earth through Transmutation. In this book she contends that we can reverse environmental pollution through the use of spiritual methods. Sandra will speak about the material in this book as well as talk about the experiments she is now performing with groups to reverse water pollution.

Sandra’s workshop at the conference:

Creating a New Vision for Our Lives

During this experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism, the universal basic methods of the shaman to enter non ordinary reality for problem-solving, wellbeing and healing. Particular emphasis is put on the shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods used by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth. Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and movement techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities and connections with nature. We will use the journey methods to discover how to use our creativity to create a positive present and future for ourselves as well as explore what would bring passion back into our lives again.

Pan, ROC and the Findhorn Garden
Brian will describe how despite initial skepticism he found himself approached by this Being called Pan, the archetype of the life force, and what he has come to understand about the meaning of such experiences. The wider identity and significance of Pan in the world and in relation to ecological concerns will also be discussed.

About Brian Nobbs
Brian came to live at Findhorn in 1970. Through friendship with Dorothy Maclean and Robert Ogilvie Crombie he discovered his own profound link with the devic and elemental worlds. In some sense he inherited Ogilvie’s function as a point of contact for the community with Pan and the elemental world. As a creative artist and potter he has discovered the natural relationship between the artist’s ways of looking at the world and the development of contemplative spiritual practice.

Brian’s workshop at the conference:

Sensitivity to Nature Spirits

Brian Nobbs will share some of his key experiences with nature spirits and lead the group in methods of developing awareness and sensitivity. These are derived from simple art exercises to develop concentration and powers of observation which can spontaneously lead into heightened states of awareness. In good weather we will work outside.

The Human Being – Between the Angelic and Elemental Worlds

Ana Pogacnik has developed her own view of the breadth of angelic powers through her own personal contact with angelic beings. She shows us that angels are not distant beings with wings, but that they are a living part of us.

Marko Pogacnik has, through his work in earth healing, come in close contact with the consciousness of the earth manifested through elemental beings. To be able to serve as bridges between these worlds, we just have to learn how to communicate again. Ana and Marko address the question of a hologrammic language that can be understood by nature and the spiritual world as well as by humans.

About Ana Pogacnik and Marko Pogacnik

Ana Pogacnik is a student of archaeology at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. For the past ten years she has been in contact with the angelic realm and has published books of angelic messages in Slovenian German and Dutch. Since 1993 she has been cooperating with her father, Marko, on earth healing projects. She lectures and leads workshops all over Europe. Marko Pogacnik is a sculptor from Sempas, Slovenia, who has developed lithopuncture, a method of environmental healing similar to acupuncture. He has worked on many earth healing projects worldwide and his books include Nature Spirits and Elemental Beings, Healing the Heart of the Earth, Christ Power and the Earth Goddess.

Ana’s workshop at the conference:

Human Beings as a Bridge to the Angelic World

We will visit places in Findhorn where the angelic presence is more tangible and easier to experience. Through guided meditations, a special way of singing/toning, and exercises, we will experience the energies of these places and through that, the angelic energies in ourselves.

Marko’s workshop at the conference:

Multidimensionality of Place

Visiting places around Cluny Hill, the group will get to know the different dimensions of the place and how to communicate with them. Exercises to perceive the invisible levels will be demonstrated as well as forms of group attunement to these levels of reality.

How To Make Friends With An Angel

If you can make a connection with one angel, then you can connect with them all. In this talk Sabrina will speak about how she has developed an enjoyable working relationship with angels over the past 25 years. She will explore how to know when you are in contact with angels and the many different ways that we have of experiencing them. She will also touch upon how angels serve as messengers for the Masters and help us in healing work. The presentation will include a guided meditation.

Sabrina’s workshop at the conference:

Healing With Pan and the Green Lady

There are many different presences who cooperate to create healing. In this workshop we will work with the overall Angel of Healing, the Angels of the Body and we will deepen our relationship with the “Lady of the Greenwood” and the “Lord of the Animals”. There will be a short informative talk followed by discussion and experiential exercises. No previous experience with healing is required, although a sense of humour will be useful!

Shamanic Midwifery

Caitlin Matthews discusses the work of her shamanic practice: how the restoration of the soul’s sacred landscape is affected by different forms of shamanic healing and how the New Animism is re-emerging as a potent influence in our post-religious times.

About Caitlin Matthews

The author of 35 books, she is co-founder of Fios: The Foundation for Inspirational and Oracular Studies, fostering the rededication of the sacred arts and the reintegration of shamanism and animist understanding worldwide. Her shamanic practice in Oxford has been midwifing the soul for the past 10
years. See her website at www.hallowquest.org.uk or write to her at BCM Hallowquest, London, WC1N 3XX, England.

Caitlin’s workshop at the conference:

Divining the Sacred Web

In this three-hour workshop, Caitlin will teach ways of divining from the sacred web which meshes our world with the otherworld. Drawing on traditional Celtic divination methods, we will ask the spirits of the land and of nature to clearly reveal the truth that we each seek. Some pair-work is involved
and much of the workshop will be undertaken outdoors, rcgardless of weather.

Will There Be Angels in the 21st Century?

The birth of the 2Lst Century provides an incentive to look at our world in fresh ways. Nowhere is this need to reexamine and re-envision more needed and potentially more profitable than in the spiritual arena. For example: are the images and ideas we have inherited from past generations, particularly about
angels and other non-physical beings and allies, capable of stimulating and drawing forth new areas of our own consciousnesses and our own connections with the Otherworld? Or, as animism and angels make a comeback in our society, are we locking ourselves into modes of thought, imagination and perception that will inhibit the inner growth we need to make as individuals and as a culture? These questions will be explored as we consider whether and how the idea of angels (and other spiritual allies) may change as we move into the new millennium.

David’s workshop at the conference:

Angels and Incarnation

We may think of incarnation simply as the condition of living in a physical body as contrasted with being in a “spiritual” or non-physical state. But incarnation is much more than just a description of where we are. It is a state of creative consciousness based on love, fostering, and connectedness. We may see examples of this state embodied in beings we call angels who could be called agents of incarnation, but it
is as much a part of us as it is of them. This workshop explores skills and ideas for touching and liberating that state of consciousness for unfolding from within ourselves our own angel-like engagement with life and the world around us that is the heart of the incarnational process.
