If you are new to healing, spiritual development or exploring faith alongside spirituality, there are some wonderful resources available online that can help you learn more in your own time and at your own pace.
Bible Gateway is a well-known online Bible resource where you can read, search and study scripture in a wide range of translations. Whether you are looking for comfort, guidance, inspiration or simply wish to explore the teachings of Christianity more deeply, it provides an easy and accessible way to spend time with the Bible from wherever you are.
We have also included a link to Christian Spiritualism, a website dedicated to exploring the connection between Christianity and spiritualism. (This will include the archives of THE ZODIAC MESSAGES ) The site shares information on spiritual healing, mediumship, churches, events and spiritual philosophy, helping visitors better understand how faith, healing and communication with the spirit world have been approached within Christian Spiritualism for many years.

The cuckoo, known for its famous two-note call, arrives in the UK from Africa around April. The female cuckoo lays her eggs in another bird’s nest, often first spooking the host bird away. She then leaves the unsuspecting foster parents to incubate the eggs, feed the chicks, and raise the fledglings! What a strategy that helps conserve the cuckoo’s energy and resources. This behaviour is known as brood parasitism.
Quite a trickster, and perhaps seemingly unfair, the cuckoo demonstrates just how it has evolved and the lengths it will go to help its young survive. They are also known for having multiple partners during a breeding season to increase the chances of reproduction and survival. Other birds also engage in brood parasitism, but the cuckoo is by far the most famous.
That cute little bird appearing each hour on our cuckoo clocks is far more devious than we might imagine, yet also highly intelligent and practical. While the word “cuckoo” can mean, in some contexts, foolishness, its symbolism is often associated with transformation, intuition, and adaptability.
Last night in Chawton, we hosted our beautiful Healing Service. It was an evening filled with wonderful energy, readings, prayers, and, of course, healing. Healing was administered during the service, and I trust everyone enjoyed a sound sleep afterwards.
Thank you to Rob for leading us and to our readers. Thank you also to the hospitality team, to Julie for the music, and to our diligent healers. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful Healing Team. So much thanks should go to all those who set up and broke down the evening also.
Prayer of the Week
Please pray for all those caught up in the violence of wars around the world. The suffering they endure is beyond our understanding. Please send your thoughts and prayers to them, for they are so very much in need.
Calendar up tomorrow.
Yes, it’s raining… umbrellas in June! Try to keep dry.
In this video, Rob Harvey explains why he strongly advises against ghost hunting and visiting haunted locations. Drawing on decades of experience working with spirits and helping people affected by paranormal activity, Rob shares what he believes really causes hauntings and the dangers people may unknowingly expose themselves to.
Join us for a peaceful evening of healing at Chawton Village Hall on 7th June at 6:30pm.
Whether you are curious about healing, looking for comfort, or simply want to experience a welcoming spiritual evening, everyone is welcome. We would especially love to see some new faces join us.
Come along, bring a friend, and experience the warmth and support of healing together.
Thank you for everyone who gave their lovely readings and prayers last night on Zoom. A lovely half hour of tranquility. Healing followed for those in need.
Please continue to pray for our enemies around this world. They need the prayers and the healing.
It is our beautiful Healing Service on Sunday in Chawton.
The lovely Sarah Norris visited us in Chawton last night. What a lovely evening of high energy, inspired thoughts and messages. Thank you so much Sarah! Alison Keogh chaired the evening.
I thought I had witnessed a June bug when I caught an iridescent metallic flash of emerald green on my windowsill, but June bugs do not live in the UK, do they? However, a smaller imposter does, and this smaller, stunning flying beetle turned out to be none other than the Rose Chafer.
Gardeners are probably well aware of the chewing habits and destruction caused by this little critter, for he can demolish a flower, eating the fleshy parts of petals and leaves. His favourite snack is likely the dog rose, whose nectar and pollen he very much enjoys. He is very visible now and will remain so throughout the summertime, sometimes staying around till October here in the UK.
This stunning flying beetle carries wonderful symbolism for many people, representing inner alchemy, transformation, and the journey from humble beginnings to something radiant and beautiful. His stunning metallic green colour flashing in the sunlight, can feel like the arrival of a spirit messenger, encouraging awareness.
Those wishing to protect their roses may find some success with planting marigolds and lavender which help deter the beetles, while fine mesh provides a more reliable barrier. Otherwise, they will simply do what rose chafers do best, feast upon the blooms that attract them.
A beautiful garden visitor, a living jewel flashing in the summer sunlight, the Rose Chafer remains one of the most beautiful and memorable beetles seen during a UK summer
After a more gentle late spring/early summer day yesterday, we gathered in Chawton and were so pleased to welcome Sarah Norris to us again. Sarah’s energy just invigorated the room and she brought a beautiful inspired address and such lovely messages. Thank you so much Sarah. We really had such a lovely time. Alison Keogh chaired the evening. Thank you.
Thanks to our readers and prayer people for lifting the room with your words and energy. Thank you Carole for your cake and thank you all those who helped with the hospitality for the evening. Thank you to Lisa running our music, and setup and breakdown has become a fine art, and we also thank our healers for their dedication after the service. A lovely evening!
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Please pray for our supposed enemies in this world. They need the prayers and healing. Whether on the global stage, or in our own lives, those who cause dissention and hurt to people or animals or lack of respect for any of creation need the prayers and healing badly.
