Your opportunity to train your pendulum and get it talking to you. Some discussion but a largely practical session, with lots of different fun exercises. Please bring a pendulum if you already have one

Psychometry with Carolyn
This is about reading the energy of an object through touch. You may get a sense of its history, or information about its owner. This works best with objects that one person has used over time, such as a piece of jewelry, a watch or a special charm etc
Come and join others, in a safe hands-on environment where we will be learning, then practicing the way psychometry can work. You may be surprised at how well you connect with Spirit.
Please bring a pen, paper and most importantly a small item from which we can practice reading from. Make sure the item you bring is yours, or you know about its history. That way you can confirm (or not) the information given is accurate.

Meet the Mediums who will be presenting this week:
Amiee Stott – Amiee has been involved in Spiritualism for over 10 years, working on platform across the Wellington region and serving as a committee member of the Upper Hutt Spiritual Centre. She is currently studying with the Spiritualist National Union in the UK to deepen her knowledge and refine her mediumship practice.
Her journey began with cards, though at first she doubted she had any abilities. That changed one night when she turned over a card and information flowed in like never before—a moment that opened the bridge into Spiritualism and set her on a path she’s followed ever since. Cards remain her greatest passion, and she loves sharing them with others, and encouraging others to explore their own intuitive gifts.
Anne Roughton – Anne’s spiritual journey became serious around 26 years ago when Spirit kept her awake knocking on the walls at night. They stopped bothering her when she joined a spiritual development class. She only ever intended to be a healer but Spirit had other ideas. She is a practising platform medium and Registered Spiritual Healer. She has led spiritual development classes but now leads only Spiritual Healing classes and spiritual workshops – and she is still learning herself. She is on both the Upper Hutt Spiritualist Centre and Spiritualism NZ committees. She is passionate about empowering people to help and heal themselves.
Barbara Hand – Barbara didn’t connect with spirit until she was in her 40’s but always knew there was something more to life than what she was experiencing. She joined the Petone Spiritualist Church and developed her skills by attending circles and workshops. She has been a part of the National Body for Spiritualism in New Zealand since 2005. For the past 25 years she has, as a practising medium, run church services, workshops, circles, spiritual retreats and spiritual fairs as well as helping people through private readings. She enjoys working with spirit in many different ways and has a huge trust in them, allowing her to channel them and include their teachings in her everyday life.
Carolyn Choros – Carolyn has been interested in all things spiritual for over 40 years but only started working on her own spiritual development 12 years ago. Sitting in development circles, attending workshops, reading and talking with likeminded people, she is now at the stage where she has worked on platform in the Wellington region a few times. She runs her own circle and enjoys working with people, sharing her knowledge, particularly in the area of psychometry.
Sue Boyle – Sue has worked with Spirit for over 40 years as a channel for their wisdom words, healing and performing house cleansings and blessings. She moved to Upper Hutt and joined the spiritualist church, meeting like-minded people. She is now their Secretary, works on platform and as a reader and healer for the Oasis Healing Centre. The idea of bringing people together to support and empower them motivates her to be part of SNZ.
