At SuperSpirit we have some of the loveliest facilitators on the planet, who are happy to share and teach their particular passion with you. This is usually in the form of workshops, sometimes talks or experiential events, and in the healing area, one-to-one treatments. All workshops are included in the ticket price, although some in the craft area charge cost price for materials, and healing sessions ask a minimum donation of £1 to cover oils, candles, and general beautification of the healing area. Here is some of what was on offer in 2009, and this year's programme will be updated soon. CRAFTS Amanda Shields                     Amanda will be running workshops using the Wet-on-Wet watercolour technique, an opportunity to play with colour in a very relaxed way which often produces profoundly beautiful results.
