The New Spirit Festival

Thanks to all the visitors, Speakers and Exhibitors for a great weekend!.  The feedback has been wonderful!  A great selection of stands, and the Guest Speakers were truly excellent!  We managed to make use of the good weather and had the NIA session outside on the grass, and Sika played a concert in the cafeteria in the afternoon!  Many remarked on the lovely atmosphere of the Festival this time!  One memory is the seminar by Michael Bradford, who was with us for a couple of years about a decade ago - he was a late entry and the only space available was in the Malcolm Harker Room, which seats about 65.  It was packed, with double that number,standing room only, people leaning in through the doorway, but everyone came out beaming and animated.  So thanks to all the Speakers, and to all our Exhibitors, healers and readers, and all of you out there who came along and helped make this year's Festival so memorable!  I'm not one to blow my own trumpet, but through the evaluation process we got some lovely responses:
