Received from Shelley

Bristol was the latest Rainbow's End production and again it was a magical experience. So uplifting, informative and a huge confidence/self esteem booster for all up and coming Novice Mediums. I should know, this is my third seminar and very special, yet I can never forget the magic started about 2 years back at Birtley, my first seminar.

I had been agoraphobic through illness and associated stress, my spiritual development started on my own at home in the stillness of my slow and quiet life, but after 2 years of developing my link with my spirit guides, I guess between us we decided it was time to move forward and I physically felt the prod in the back!! I'd asked for a way to develop further, I was not disappointed! To this day I cannot explain how I found out about Rainbow's End's Birtley Church Seminar, it simply appeared on my computer screen. I printed off the details and eventually plucked up the courage to ring Doris Smith.

I will never forget our conversation. I said that I'd heard about the seminar (which was about 45 mins drive away from me) and I wasn't sure why I was ringing. Doris was straight back at me: "because you want to come"... (at this point I still doubted if I'd have the courage to go). I said: "I've no idea how I will get there." "Leave it with me" she said, and to my amazement it turned out someone who lived in the very same town as me was going too!! - it was all arranged.

Birtley was amazing. I was pretty dumbfounded and the feeling of being around all these beautiful, magical like-minded souls was euphoric! I was still quite nervous which was only to be expected, but I was made so welcome by everyone. I knew now I could only go forward, I felt part of something.

Rainbow's End is like my backbone, all the support I need is there from its teachers and its members. I continue to develop, spiritually and personally, through the seminars, online groups, distance learning and, most recently, I have joined Rainbow's End's development group in Darlington. I have not only learnt a lot but I have greatly impoved in my health and it all started with the magic of Rainbow's End. I have made wonderful friends whom I may not see often, but when we meet at the half yearly seminars its like we were never apart, the bonding is amazing. Once you are touched by the spirit of another, the beauty and residue of that stays with you always and I feel truly blessed in meeting each and everyone of you.

Confidence and develpment run side by side for me and I have received both of these, and I know from Birtley to Billingham to Bristol I have taken a huge leap, from being a gibbering wreck to a developing and more confident spiritual soul. I can do anything I put my mind to. It has truly been a journey of magic and miracles for me. Thanks Rainbow's End!!
