Hello to you,

Just a couple of things to mention. There is a New Meditation Course starting on Monday 1st of September, if you have not yet been on a course, do try and book on this one, then you will be able to come along to the weekly class, which is going very well (More details below).

I am also giving a Talk at The Royal Hotel on Friday 8th August at 1930. It’s a talk I have given before, lots of people have asked me to do it again and many won’t have heard it. The title is ‘Let your Inner Riches Shine’; do make a note in your diary.

I do look forward to seeing you at some of the events
