MERMAID MAGIC! with Flavia Kate Peters
12.45 to 1.45.
Seahorse Mermaid artwork by Sue Halstenberg
Mermaids are the guardian angels of the Seas, empowering goddesses of the water. These charming, very beguiling elementals help to ignite our own feminine sensuality and seductive powers, and assist us in recognising and unleashing our true passion.
The mermaids’ magic is deep and nurturing. They teach us how to deal with our emotions and they absolutely love to help out with affairs of the heart. They assist us in bringing about abundance & prosperity, which is our very birthright. To connect with the magic of the mermaids we need to raise our energies to their vibration. Once we have connected with our inner mermaid, we are more able to harness our natural powerful manifestation abilities and reap the magic and abundance that has been bubbling under the surface. In this workshop Flavia Kate Peters invites you to dive in to stir the siren within you, to uncover your own hidden treasure that is waiting to be revealed ….
ALL Talks and workshops take place on SATURDAY 8th March at Glastonbury Town Hall – upstairs Council Chambers
