Connecting with Spirit with Teresa and Tom Shantz
On the eve of the 11/11 portal, American spiritual teachers Teresa and Tom Shantz shared some powerful tools and exercises to expand our inner potential.
Teresa and Tom began by talking about why it is important to grow spiritually. “Your life gets smoother and you begin to experience more ups than downs. You also realise that your life is a mirror for whatever you attract. Like attracts like.”
Our souls communicate to us through our feelings. Yet, most of our decisions are based on our analytical logical brain.
Feelings can steer you faster in the direction of your dreams.
“We look on the outside for happiness – but the key to happiness comes from within. “
“Many of us are disconnected from our souls and we become addicted to technology, shopping, drinking, gambling or drugs to fill the void. “
So what causes us to get out of balance? We are born with our true feelings. But in the first seven years of life, we pick up on the emotions of our parents.
Over the years, we adopt habits that may not be helpful.
We need to decide what works for us and what doesn’t.
“As you become more spiritually aware, you realise there is no right or wrong. You learn not to judge. You also begin to discern the difference between what is you and what isn’t. “
During the evening, we had the opportunity to practice easy cleansing techniques for the third eye and aura. We also learned tools to protect the aura and develop our intuition.
The couple explained that we all come with four spiritual gifts – prophecy, vision, intuition and feeling – some of which are stronger than others. When you learn to develop these gifts, you can connect more easily to your inner guidance. You take back your power and become your own guru, psychic and healer.
Tom and Teresa offer personal consultations to help you learn more about your unique spiritual gifts and how to develop them. You also can learn more about your life purpose.
Tom and Teresa will also be offering workshops in Sydney on psychic awareness, inner guidance and soul consciousness.

How Uluru and Mount Kilamanjaro Guides You Through 2020
How do the Earth portals and guardians of Uluru/Kata Tjuta, Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa and the Great Pyramid, Egypt help to guide an exciting era of cultural redesignand innovation birthing in 2020? How can you personally engage with these new currents of love, light and creation pulsing through you with each beat of the Earth Mother’s heart?
Come join us on the 25th November to find out through a presentation and meditation from Ocha and Kate.
The historic closure of Uluru to climbing its summit last month is in perfect divine timing for the preparation of the very significant Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricornon 12 January 2020. Robert Coon states that as the world’s solar plexus chakra, Uluru is the ritual centre of the world for this event which hales an unprecedented connection of all life to its Source and to our immortal nature.
In the same year, Mount Kilimanjaro, the portal of Joy and Freedom, is the world focal point for the Great Conjunction of Jupiter-Saturn which also heralds great change.The name of the highest summit peak is Uhuru!
Both Uluru and Kilimanjaro support us to be in the joy of creation, to follow our heart and be fully present in our physical body.
In anticipation of these events Ocha, with Kate Butcher of Wanderlust Women’s Adventures, is offering sacred journeys to both Mount Kilimanjaro and Uluru/Kata Tjutain 2020. Thanks to Kate’s extraordinary connection to the Chagga and Masai tribes and the Hadzabe bushmen, they will take their group into their communities and share their way of life with them, and Ocha, who has a deep connection to the Earth Mother andher portal guardians, will lead meditations and ceremonies all through the 11 days in Africa.
We would love to share this with you.

The Healing Power of the Intuitive Self with Nila Chambers
Nila Chambers knows how powerful our inner spiritual guidance system can be because recently it saved her life. Nila discovered she had breast cancer, not from a doctor but through a spiritual message. This was the beginning of a healing journey that combined traditional medicine with spiritual guidance that came through messages, signs, symbols, synchronicities, dreams, visions and visitations etc. Now Nila is healed and she is passionate to help others unfold the guiding power within. She is the author of ‘The Gift of Intuition: guidance on a healing journey’ and is a facilitator, intuitive and teacher. She co-facilitates Sydney IANDS (International Association of Near Death Studies), the Sydney Meditation and Spiritual Movies Night group and facilitates White Eagle Intuition Development Circle, and the Northern Beaches Theosophical Society group.
Nila will tell us about her journey and will learn us some tools how to be more in touch with our own intuition.
