Heart Ways with Nancy Valentine Smith

Nancy Valentine Smith is a Medicine Woman, a Shaman, an Alchemist, a Healer and Sacred Technician. She comes from a lineage of Medicine men and women who were also Seers. 
As a child Nancy was taught to go into the Ancient Records to read the books of knowledge of the Stars and of the Earth until she was ready to access the memory within her. One of her purposes is to assist others to access their own knowledge and wisdom. Your life without a doubt will change as you open to the Great Work. 
Over two decades, Nancy has mentored and empowered many people by helping them change their state of being to see and experience who they truly are. Through her transformational live events, gatherings and audio programs, Nancy continues to experience her Ancient Beloved
Teachings, to co-create a life from the Heart with her modern take on ancient wisdom.
Join Nancy at the Academy of light on February 14th where she will take you into a deep Heart Activation, clearing and Healing. She will be sharing with you knowledge of different aspects of the Heart. She will go through a Lemurian Heart activation. Some of the Wisdom of the Beloved Teachings will be shared with you, that comes through Mary Magdalene and Yeshua Ben Joseph.
We are in the Ascension process on all levels to return to the Heart Ways. We are being called to do the Great work on ourselves which is the undoing of our ego constructs. Connection, belonging is a call we have sent to ourselves as a compass to help us return homeward in, to do this our Heart must be revealed.
We are in the most  incredible times in all ways. 
Our hearts are calling us, our path to answer is remembering.
Come along to the Academy of light, join us on this auspicious evening ??

Testimonial:
The sound healing events with Paulien are a both beautiful and powerful experience and it seems as though I am floating with not a care in the world. The mix of instruments and sounds was truly wonderful, very soothing and expansive. Paulien weaves the various sounds together beautifully including crystal bowls, gong and vocal tones and some beautiful sounding instruments that seem out of this world. Ros

Tickets are also available at the door – $25 General Admission/ $10 Concession


Price changes
During the last AGM the Committee has decided to increase the cost of the tickets. Unfortunately we had to do this to cover the hire costs of the hall at Mosman Art Gallery which has gone up in price considerably. 
We don’t want anyone to miss out, in case you are experiencing financial hardship you can book a ticket under the concession rate of $10.

FYI – What Do You Want? With Peter Whitfield

What are the things that make us happy ? It may not be what you think.  Peter Whitfield explains to us about our mis-wanting. Mis-wanting is when we say to ourselves “i’ll be happy when ….” He also talks about the little voice of ‘me’ that talks to us all day long.  Often if others spoke to us the way the our ‘little me’ talks to us, we would most likely be very angry with them (at the very least).  He also re-tells a story often told by Shri Shantananda Saravati which explains the concept of mis-wanting.
Very wise and enlightening.  Click here to listen. Less than 10 mins.


Clearing Negativity – with Rosemary Butterworth

Rosemary Butterworth, one of the co-founders of the Academy, has put together a short mediation to help us overcome our negativity in this time of great change and a beautiful message for all the Academy readers. 

Hi Everyone, it is so good to be in contact with you all once again.  I hope you are all well.  What I am finding is that people feel a little stuck at this time, their energy seems to be stagnant as they cannot see what the future holds at the moment.  These negative feelings cause us to be disconnected from Spirit, Angels and our true Self.   
For this reason I have made a very short video to help us establish reconnection.  It is only just over 4 minutes long, so it can be listened to often. It will clear away negative thoughts and your energy will increase and so will your Light.
Click here for the meditation video:
Let me know if you enjoy it.  I would love to hear from you.

Thought of the Week

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.


Affirmations – say it daily and slowly, feel it, believe it

This is a new day. I begin anew and claim and create all that is good. And so it is.
