Susan Joy Coombes - All Group Presentation:

Utopia Story

Have you ever had an idea, which keeps popping up?  Mine was to have sojourns where experienced people who hold the healing knowledge and the knowing of Earth energy, could meet to share their gifts to inspire others. Little did I know that as I waited for this to happen, I had to get in there and provide a pivot for this myself.

This has been at times the hardest journey of my life, a testing time where I faced my greatest fears.  Most of all it has been the most powerful experience of my life. A transformation of an idealistic “healer” into grounding something strong, focused and beneficial for many.

I will speak of the Utopia story and bring us all into the essence of Utopia.

4.30 – 5.15 pm

Simone M. Matthews - All Group Presentation:

Transforming your Fate, & Creating your Destiny

So you have read all the books and intellectually you know how to manifest… but when it comes to your life well the rules seem to be different ?   Sound familiar ? 

Simone will enlighten us on how we can transform our dreams & inspirations and bring these into our physical reality.  You will learn new methods that move beyond the realm of affirmations, positive thinking and intention… rather you will learn tools that are supported by quantum principles and are scientifically shown to bring about change.

This session will include a practical group exercise where participants will take away with them real tools to transform Fate, release the fear of the Ego, change sabotaging subconscious beliefs and embrace living in the light of truth, authenticity and the Destiny of your Soul.

5.15 – 6.00 pm

Margaret Gill - All Group Presentation:

It’s Time to Say YES 

Everybody wants “a million dollar practice”, but nobody wants to charge ! 

Many still believe it is “not spiritual” to charge adequately and create abundance in their own lives and therefore the lives of their clients. 

Our industry is at a pivotal point where healers could choose to help thousands of people as mainstream souls awaken and need help.  However, many gifted healers are denying others the gift of healing and missing their own opportunity to have successful businesses because of their fear of marketing and technology.  

It’s time to say YES and accept the divine right to shine on all levels.

6.00 – 7.30 pm

Cocktail Party

All delegates are invited to meet in the conference room foyer to let their hair down and unwind with a drink and delicious canapés and spend quality time meeting Utopia presenters and fellow retreat participants.

Michelle Brennan - All Group Presentation:

Mysterious Orbs: Signs of the Time.

With 2012 fast approaching, the Universe is providing a myriad of signs to attract our attention and guide us on our journey.  The orbs, crystals skulls, and All Seeing Eye of God are just a few of these signs. 

Michelle will take us on a photographic journey around the world where she explores sacred sites, pyramids and temples where she works with Mayan, Inca and Native American Indian Shaman.  You will delight in Michelle sharing her first hand experiences with portals and crystal skulls. 

Her orb and spirit photography will amaze you, as will the inspirational messages that these highly evolved spiritual beings have channelled.   

9.30 – 10.00 am

Jain 108 – All Group Presentation:

Mathematics of the Soul

Many cultures have had a fascination for the Divine Proportion - Sacred Cut, Golden Mean, Sectio Aurealis.  From the realms of nature to sacred architecture, the reason why we are so awe-struck when beholding the beauty of all creation is that it mirrors our own beauty, it is all a reflection of our own human bio-architecture.  We are the living temple of creation !

You will leave this presentation enlightened, as Jain marries the ultimate feminine symbol of the fibonacci spiral with the ultimate male symbol of the Tetrahedron pyramid, and shows that when a light or a laser beam is shone upon this 3-D construct, its transduction to 2-D shadows is a written script or Language of Light that shows the origin of our Alpha Beta or English Language, the ‘Angles of the Angels’!

10.00 – 10.30 am

Molly Carlile – All Group Presentation:

“I am sorry, but you’re not grieving properly!”

Grief is an all pervading, holistic experience that we will all be faced with, multiple times throughout our lives. Why we grieve, how we grieve and how we accommodate our grief is governed by numerous individual and common factors.

As practitioners, friends, colleagues and individuals we are poorly prepared to nurture ourselves and provide support to others when grieving. We often make assumptions about the “right” and “wrong” way to grieve.

This presentation will explore contemporary grief theory and provide an introduction to facilitating the lived grief experience for ourselves and our clients, based on individual need.

10.30 – 11.00 am

Morning Tea

Tea, Coffee and a delicious assortment of savoury and sweet treats will be served in the conference room foyer.  Freshen up, mingle with participants and chat with presenters and expo stall holders.

11.00 – 1.00 pm

Dr Steven D. Farmer – All Group Workshop:

Earth Magic: Healing your Fragmented Soul

Steven will take you on a journey to discover how your soul can have parts of it split off and remain separated from the self as well as how you can recover those soul parts to make yourself whole again.

When you undergo soul loss, often through a traumatic experience, you may experience feelings of alienation, forgetfulness, lethargy, depression, or psychic numbness.

In this experiential workshop, Steven will guide you through some gentle meditation journeys, where you can not only discover what parts have been lost, but also how to recover them and integrate them into your being. You’ll also discover your soul’s mission and purpose.

1.00 – 2.30 pm

Session 4

Molly Carlile - ‘I don’t know what's wrong with me’

Grief is a holistic experience. Knowing how to assess a grieving person’s needs and providing a safe place for the person to explore their distress, is the first step in developing a therapeutic relationship.

Not all grieving people need specialist interventions to assist them through their grieving process. Most clients we see require very little of us. A safe place to bring their grief, an empathetic practitioner and a supportive therapeutic environment that acknowledges their distress and empowers them to remain connected to their personal loss.

This interactive workshop will present participants with an overview of the essential elements of grief support required to create a therapeutic relationship and assessment strategies to identify complex grief responses that require specialist intervention. Participants will have the opportunity to practice strategies discussed during the workshop.

Concurrent

Concurrent
Session 2

Jain 108 - Earth-Heart: Living Mathematics of Nature

Centre yourSelf via a One Breath Heart Based Mediation based on the Living Mathematics Of Nature.

The EarthHeart Meditation is the ability to breathe into our Heart Centre, by visualizing that you are standing inside a giant doughnut-like toroidal field. As we breathe slowly into our Heart and breathe out, we are extending our auric field to encompass the room, the city, the planet.

The secret of the EarthHeart Meditation is the unification of opposites based on the Counter-Rotating Fields as seen in nature and visible in the pine cone 8:13 code and the sunflower code of 21:34. The ancient science of counter-rotating fields is stored in our DNA since the Helix itself is based on 2 opposing spirals that store all biological memory and knows intelligently how to replicate itself.

The EarthHeart Mediation is a unification of Heaven and Earth -  when we breathe into our Heart, there is a meeting of the Celestial or the Above with the Terrestrial or the Below.

Concurrent
Session 3

Lia Scallon - Crystal Skulls & the Sounds of Sirius

In this fascinating workshop with internationally acclaimed recording artist, healer and channel Lia Scallon, you will take a journey to meet the ancient crystal skulls.

When in the Mayan lands of Yucatan Peninsula in 2007, Lia had the extraordinary privilege of making contact with one of the ancient Mayan Crystal Skulls.  Lia’s modern replica skull – ‘Jomcata Mayab’ – sat beside the Atlantis skull in several temple ceremonies and has been encoded with its ancient wisdom and knowledge. 

In this workshop you will personally receive the codings from the Atlantis skull through Jomacata Mayab, when Lia channels The Sounds of Sirius, to activate both the skull and you.

5.00 – 5.15 pm

Shaun & Simone Matthews – Utopia in Review

Shaun (the tech man at Utopia 2009 and Simone’s partner) and Simone will come together to give an overview of Utopia 2009, to consolidate and honour all we have experienced together these past few days.

Simone will give a very brief review of Utopia 2009 and weave the strands of all presenters wisdoms together…. to acknowledge how our minds have been challenged, our consciousness expanded and our hearts opened to infinite possibilities. 

Shaun will then follow with a special surprise ‘visual display’ to music of Utopia 2009 in review.

5.15 – 6.15 pm

Dr Steven D. Farmer & Jeremy Donovan

Utopia 2009 Closing Ceremony – Releasing & Letting Go

You will write on a piece of paper a simple, clear statement of what you intend to release and give these prayers to Grandfather Fire for the climax of the ceremony, then simply allow the changes that will occur following this experience.
