The Inspiration behind The Healing Event - Weston-super-Mare

I woke up on July 9th 2007 after attempting without success to book a stand to sell my healing jewellery at a local healing weekend. I’d asked several times over the course of 3 months but with no joy.  I now realise that this was a part of the Universal plan for me and this spurred me to start ringing round to try and book in at other suitable events.  I had no real success until I decided to phone the Winter Gardens in
Weston-super-Mare to find out dates of the healing events there.  I spoke to Jim McQuarrie the events manager and he explained that one event did not happen anymore and another booked for October had just been cancelled.  I found myself saying “well I had better do it myself then as I have all the skills”, Jim immediately took me up on this and gave me the rate for one of the suites.  I decided that a Saturday in September just over 11 weeks away would be good.

What had happened?  Before that moment I had absolutely no plan to ever put on an event again and here I was back in the thick of it.  I had put on motorcycle and lifestyle events for over twenty five years. This had started when I joined Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) and I was quickly appointed as a local representative, then almost immediately voted onto the National Committee as Rep’s Liaison Officer.  All this because of the work I had been doing for the group and yes I had ridden motorcycles since I was 15 years old.  I travelled to various venues to help with stands, including the National Exhibition centre, Birmingham and Earl’s Court in London .  Then in the early 80’s a small group of us put on a 10th Anniversary MAG event a Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park with Hawkwind topping the bill.  I decided that I could put on an International Motorcycle event of my own with everything that I had already learnt. 

The 1st was the Custom & Classic Bike Show at the Royal Bath & West Showground, this event is still running 25 years on.  Then I started the Welsh Motorcycle Extravaganza at Builth Wells Showground, again this event still runs more than 20 years later.  I was also running an event in Cardiff and a 2nd Classic event at the Royal Bath & West Showground when my daughter suddenly died of meningitis aged 17.  I decided it was time to re-evaluate my life and end my work with MAG. It was 1994 and I threw myself into studying starting with Nutritional Medicine and Iridology in London and also home study. Then to college for O levels (I’d to leave school at 15) and enrolled with the Open University, 6 years later I had my honours degree in psychology.  I am now a Doctor Of Metaphysical Sciences and have just been ordained as a Reverend.

In 1999 a friend persuaded me to do an American Lifestyle event at the Three Counties Showground.  We did this for three years but the Royal Bath & West was calling me back to do a similar event there, my business partner had a heart attack so I continued on my own.  This was The American Show and lasted just two years.  Great show but not enough paying visitors. As A single parent since 1998 I could not risk losing our home.  I went into a decline as I missed working on my beloved events.  I threw myself into work and study until I found my mouth saying yes to The New Healing Event. The Universe wanted me to do this work.

My life and my whole physiology changed immediately and I was back organising an event, bliss. It was just over 11 weeks from start to finish, on the big events I took 18 months to lead in!  The first thing I did was put out an email to my business associates and other acquaintances.  I had an immediate response, then I printed up some info and took it to the healing weekend I tried to get a stand at and just gave the details to those who I felt right for this event.  By this time I had increased from one suite to three and on viewing them my breath was taken away by the central, circular suite.  The circular ceiling dome had a roof light and lots of little lights which looked like stars.  I had an immediate vision of circular rows of chairs, this had to be designated a healing room.  As I progressed my plans included quite a few tables in this suite but I seemed to be selling the spaces in the suites either side first.  I knew that this event must have free admission to the public.  I had priced the spaces so that costs would be covered if they all sold, but a flat kind of a feeling was creeping up on me, a sure sign that all was not well. I sat down to meditate and immediately realised that I was compromising my original vision which focused on mass healings in that central suite. I made a decision not to sell any of that space but I would base myself there. I sent out an email to let potential space bookers know and within a day all the spaces for the whole event were sold.

However I was still getting a mass of enquiries for space and I was busy seeing how I could possibly fit them in, but I was encroaching on the Healing suite once more.  The Universe needed to make itself clear to me again and none of the dozen potential space bookers actually followed up.  Then it hit me again I was not to book others into this suite, I was slipping back into the wrong way for this event!  I finalised my plan and had to do a bit of juggling to get everyone in the best positions possible but there was one lapse for which I hope I have been forgiven. Everything I have ever done in the past seemed to be just practice for where I now found myself. I decided to position
Bristol
and District Healers and the National Federation of Spiritual Healers facing into the Healing Suite from their places in the other two suites as this would combine some great healing energies, it certainly seemed to work on the day.

I asked Jim to arrange the seats in the Healing suite in circles with n-s and e-w aisles which echoes the sign for the Earth.  Bless him he went out and bought a compass.  Everyone turned up and the atmosphere was brilliant, I led the three mass healing sessions and the energies were very powerful.  I had been working with these energies from the moment I booked the three suites and on the morning of the event I lay in the bath and worked some more and for the first time ever I experienced the sight, sound and feel of the heart of the Earth beating, wonderful. I am going to continue once a year and I am starting A Day of Enlightenment on Saturday 19th July 2008 as well.  I did not sell much of my healing jewellery or amulets as I was so busy running the event and working towards the three mass healing sessions. I had such a laid back feeling whilst pulling this fabulous event together because I KNEW the right people would be there. 

And so it was.           Love & Light       Elizabeth
