Long Time Gone.............. but now I am back!

Well I have to say that it is good to be back and chatting to you again.  So much has happened over the last year or so that I really don't know where to begin.  So I think the best thing to do is to just go with the flow and put it out there in any order that it happens to come - which is the way it should be anyway.

So starting with

The Crystal Spring

Kaz and I have now qualified as Reiki Practitioners and we were planning on doing our Master's this year, which may still happen but when we do not know.  The reason for the delay is that our teacher has given up her business in N Devon and so is only looking after certain of her students........ we have been included in that list but other matters have also far been instrumental in prolonging the wait.

For the first part, Kaz and family moved home to her in laws house following the passing of her father in law.  So that meant that 2015 was a year of major upheaval, added to that the building we were going to be occupying is still leaking water despite thousands of pounds being paid to the "builder" to rectify the problem and no completion date is on the horizon.  So as a result we turned our sights on different horizons............and began working alongside The Heart Centre in Combe Martin.  I started a meditation group and nobody turned up, Kaz started a Reiki clinic on a Friday and nobody turned up.  I ran Part 1 of a course about Personal Development and that had 5 attendees but thus far have been unable to set a date for Part 2.

So I think out of frustration we both looked for other things to be doing while the Crystal Spring marks time.  Kaz is now running a nice little business as a Scentsy distributor and I am concentrating on my photography (wytchwynd photography) and training to be a music therapist.

Once we get the Crystal Spring trading properly I am sure that we will build a nice client base.

Capstone Radio / Cauldron FM

Both the radio channels tick over quite nicely, it will be much better once I get a computer that I can dedicate to Capstone Radio and then that channel can stream 12 hours a day instead of just the daily Bulletin interspersed with the odd show here and there as time allows

Ilfracombe TV

Our TV channel is enjoying some long awaited popularity again and I am looking to develop this with proper programming and funding this through advertising.

Wytchwynd Photography

This is probably the most self indulgent aspect of Moonshadow Media and yet it is proving to be the most lucrative.  I have recently been commissioned to take the team photographs for the Ilfracombe Colts Under 14s Football team.  I have been the official photographer at 3 weddings recently and I have been appointed the official photographer for the 2016 Victorian Celebrations in Ilfracombe.  There has been a fair bit of exposure in the press (particularly the N Devon Gazette).  My coverage of several local events having been considered worthy of publication.

At the time of writing there are examples of my work in The Coconut Bus Juice Bar and The Portland Art gallery in Ilfracombe

if you would like to check out the photography website it can be reached via the following link but here are a couple of examples to be going on with.

A Different Way of Thinking

I know that it is a long time since we last spoke and I have been working furiously to build all the various elements of the business and pull them all together into one cohesive mass.  That finally appears to be happening - the Crystal Spring Light Centre is well under way in its construction phase, Kaz and I are now both qualified Reiki Practitioners and as of 5th September we will be qualified Crystal Therapists also.

Kaz has been working towards qualifying in Indian Hand Massage and we have teamed up with the North Devon Heart Centre to develop a united front for another set of projects.

The Altered Image coaching practice is still moving forwards but that too is undergoing a few changes - in particular one area is about to change quite considerably but for the moment let me show you a video that will go some way to explaining what I mean

We partnered with the Optimum Living Channel to create this video since I have been reading the book "Clarity" by Jamie Smart and my thoughts and opinions have been turned quite literally inside out.  At the end of the video you are invited to join my mailing list to receive all of our updates.

So whilst there is a lot more to tell you about things that have been happening over the last few months those will wait for another day,

In the meantime, live a life of love, have fun and above all be happy.

Greetings and Merrie Meet to all our friends and followers.

I know that it has been a long time since my last post and I trust that you will all forgive me when I explain exactly what has been happening.....

Some of you may already know that I have carried with me for over 20 years the desire to open my own Healing / Light Centre and that during said time there have been a few false starts with each one bringing me a step closer but still staying tantalisingly out of reach.

The last attempt I had was so close I could smell it, I had located a High Street shop that was actually perfect for how I saw the centre in my mind's eye.  There had been several viewings, mental plans had been drawn up and yet at the last minute (or so it seemed) it was snatched away from me - I was bowled over by this but I resigned myself to the belief that the universe had again decided that there was more to do and a new place to be.

Almost 12 months to the day since I last stood inside my "dream" I was standing in the middle of my new dream and helping clear away the debris and rubbish so that we could actually see the floor.

Those 12 months have been magickal and have seen me forming an alliance with a fellow pagan after one day telling her of my dream and wish to open a centre - she said that it was also her dream and that was it, the roller coaster ride had begun.

We have both studied Reiki together and in 3 months have gone from being complete novices to been certified as Practitioners.

But, best of all (at the moment) we have a home for our centre, it has been given to us on condition that we are prepared to share the facility as and when sharing becomes necessary and we have also been given a lovely room that is going to become a treatment room.

As part of this wonderful ride thus far we have also been offered use of a facility in nearby Combe Martin to hold our own workshops etc. until such time as our centre is ready to open its doors AND we are also in negotiations to set up a satellite clinic in Torbay.

So we, Kaz and I are pleased to announce that "The Crystal Spring" is real and will be running via the Devon Heart Centre,  Combe Martin sometime after the 29th November.

We are looking to be adding Crystal Therapy, Colour Therapy and Laughter Yoga into our range of therapies in the early part of 2015 and we have already had several enquiries from other therapists in and around North Devon who wish to use the centre for their own work.

So we are really excited about the progress thus far and are looking forward to the journey as we move ahead.

The latest news from Moonshadow HQ

Greetings to everyone who has turned the page to the Moonshadow Media blog.  So what has been happening in the Moonshadow world since my last post?  WELL - lots of things actually!

Those of you who subscribed to Connect North Devon should already know that the old girl is about to rise again in a new dress.  After long arduous meetings around pub tables, kitchen tables and in car parks the owner of Holistic Times and yours truly have agreed to create a new magazine out of the former 2.

This new magazine is to see the light of day in September, so not a lot of time to go, and will be carrying the title "Holistic Connections"  Although We will be retaining a lot of the features of its parent we will be allowing the magazine to develop a character of its own.  Initially there will be 3 issues per year and these will be in both paper and electronic format.

We will be posting more as we move nearer to the publishing date so keep your ears and eyes peeled ladies and gents.

Wytchwynd Photography is enjoying a fair amount of critical acclaim recently and this is showing in the number of bookings that are coming in for later this year, next year and a provisional one for 2016.  In case any of you have not seen the branding it is illustrated below.

Also keep an eye on the North Devon Gazette as we have now been selected to be a freelance photo shootist for them and have already had two photo sets published.

Cauldron FM / Capstone Radio are both looking after themselves quite happily although we do have some computer issues on the Capstone side which are waiting for the engineer to attend to.

Optimum Living Channel has a couple of new videos and there are more in the pipeline including the one finished today in the Towards Shambhala series

Finally for this post I am attending the final of Berrynarbor's Got Talent on Saturday, and for my sins I have been enlisted as the Master of Ceremonies, which should be good as I have never been brilliant at Ad Libbing......gulp!!
