Allison Scott’s Spiritual Chat on: Death and the Loss of a Loved One is a deeply personal exploration of grief, loss and finding comfort after someone we love passes away. Through a collection of stories and spiritual reflections, Allison shares her understanding of death and the emotions that accompany losing someone close to us. For me, one particular story carried an especially powerful personal connection, bringing memories and emotions to the surface while ultimately offering a sense of comfort. This is a heartfelt book for anyone seeking reflection, reassurance and a different perspective on loss.
Deborah Posser’s cooking classes are a celebration of conscious living, healthy eating, and the joy of sharing food. From garden to table, she inspires participants to create delicious, nutritious meals while nurturing connection, creativity, and wellbeing. This unforgettable experience combines practical cooking skills, fresh seasonal ingredients, and a deeper appreciation for mindful eating, family traditions, and the simple pleasure of preparing and enjoying wholesome food together.
Follow the Sun is a deeply personal story of courage, self-discovery and finding the strength to choose a different path. Sharni Quinn opens the door to her own journey, sharing the experiences, challenges and adventures that shaped her understanding of herself and what it means to live authentically. Her travels through India, Bali and Australia became part of a much greater journey inward, eventually bringing her back to South Africa with a desire to share what she had learned. This inspiring story reminds us that we always have choices—and that following our own light can lead us somewhere extraordinary.

Can a single workshop create lasting change? That was the question I found myself reflecting on after attending a Manifestation Workshop presented by Merle Westcott and Christine Hardy. Designed to uncover subconscious beliefs and hidden blocks that prevent us from achieving our goals, the experience proved to be both emotionally challenging and deeply empowering. Through practical exercises, muscle testing, and personal insight, I began to recognise patterns that had quietly shaped my life. This review shares not only my workshop experience but also the meaningful changes that unfolded in the weeks that followed.
Sometimes the body needs a different way to release the tension we carry through everyday life. When Susanne Thomas introduced me to TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), I was curious but had no idea quite what to expect. After learning a series of simple exercises, I experienced something completely new—the natural tremoring response of my own body. What initially felt unusual soon became an intriguing way of becoming more aware of how my body responds to stress and tension. After several sessions, I found myself continuing the exercises at home and gaining a deeper connection with my physical wellbeing.
