Lindsay Wagner Supporting UK Carers

While Lindsay Wagner was working as one of the most popular actors on International television, she was simultaneously pursuing a vigorous study about healing and its relationship to the expansion of human potential. “ The programs have developed out of my personal experience and many years of studying both Western and Eastern modalities. ‘Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart' workshops are designed to do just that. When the mind is more quiet, contrary to what one might think, we become focused and effective, more patient and creative. As we become content and happy within ourselves, we more naturally enjoy being with others”.

The Emmy award winning Hollywood actress best known as The Bionic Woman in the cult TV series of the 1970's, is coming to England in November to host some workshops for carers and also one for siblings of children with special needs.Participants will also be educated in relaxation techniques and taught a simple but very effective method of dealing with their own personal challenges. The inclusion of the “Oneness Blessing”, a healing energy meditation set to music is laced throughout the workshop.

The three day Workshop will take place at the Marton Hotel and Country Club in Middlesbrough on the following dates, please state preference:

Workshop 1 – Sat 15 th November 1 – 4pm & Sun 16 th November 1- 6pm, including follow up session on Sun 7th December 1 – 6pm

Workshop 2 – Tues 18 th November 10am – 1pm & Wed 19 th November 10am – 3pm, including follow up session on Tues 25 th November 10am – 3pm

Cost is £65 to carers, subsidised by fundraising to less than half the normal cost.

Anyone wanting to attend the workshop or require further information can contact Karen Stowe on 07846 636920 or email karen13@ntlworld.com (places are limited)

For non-carers interested in attending one of Lindsay's workshops there is a public one taking place at Tankersley Manor Hotel in Sheffield on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th November, from 1-6pm both days.
