Free Energy with Lawrence Brightman: Saturday 9th July
Free Energy. It’s the Holy Grail of our times. Can it actually be done? Has it been done and it is being hidden from us? Lawrence Brightman has devised a number of very useful free energy gadgets and devices, and in his talk he will explain how he made them, and how we can make them too! He will go into the various theories and concepts surrounding free energy too, comparing alternative, conventional and free energy sources, and looking at the structure of matter and the aether, their co-dependency and the nature of reality and our perception of it. What nicer way to spend a Saturday morning! SATURDAY 9th JULY 10.30am – 1.30pm tickets £12 NEWICK VILLAGE HALL, WESTERN ROAD, NEWICK, EAST SUSSEX BN8 4LE More info and booking: 07597 020 512 judy@indigoumbrella.co.uk

COME AND EXPLORE EARTH ENERGIES
So excited to be getting back to real live events with real live people in real live Nature! This workshop is the first in our series exploring the Elements, and it is being held at Yew Lodge, a lovely country house on the Surrey / Sussex borders, set in 10 acres of gardens and woodlands. En-suite bedroom accommodation is available for those who would like to make a weekend of it – and why wouldn’t you?
Judy Interviews Nicola Peel
Nicola Peel is an environmental solutionist, an author, a speaker – and a real powerhouse! Here, she talks about her work in the Amazon rainforests, and about her sessions at the EARTH workshop on Sunday 3rd October. She will talk about aspects of her work at the workshop, and will lead a vision quest in the beautiful grounds and woodland. Given the years of work she has done with indigenous tribes, shamans and healers, this will be a very powerful, highly personal experience for each individual there. The workshop is in a country house on the Surrey / Sussex borders, which has some en-suite accommodation for those who would like to stay over before or after the event. Tickets are £80 for the day to include light refreshments and a buffet-style lunch. More information from me on 07597 020 512.

Where does our stuff come from? Where does it go?
About 25 minutes that shows what is going on with all our “stuff” – well worth a watch. The video is from 2009, but perhaps even more relevant today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GorqroigqM&feature=share
What is a Forest Garden?
According to the Agroforestry Research Trust, a Forest Garden is ” a designed agronomic system based on trees, shrubs and perennial plants. These are mixed in such a way as to mimic the structure of a natural forest – the most stable and sustainable type of ecosystem in this climate.” It is the way that Nature herself works in many settings, with trees providing cover and protection for an array of bushes and smaller plants that flourish in harmony closer to the earth. They take a lot of careful planning to set up, to get the balance right, but once established they can provide a very good return for the space. They don’t have to be huge, either – you don’t have to own a whole forest to have one – when done well, they can be scaled down to domestic garden size. With growing pressure on land, and with increasing numbers of people wanting to grow their own fruit and vegetables, if only to ensure quality and freshness, this could be the way forward. A simple forest garden will have three layers – trees, shrubs and ground plants – but why stop there? There can be up to seven...
So what is Sustainability anyway?
There is nothing new about Sustainability – the fact that it is officially being brought under the cover of the Indigo Umbrella to take its rightful place alongside Science and Spirituality is merely an acknowledgment that this is where it should have been since the start. Each month I produce a newsletter for the members of the Indigo tribe, and there is usually a mid-month update too. In a recent newsletter, one of our long-standing Indigos, Margaret Tyzack-More, a wise woman of the tribe in this lifetime (and in many others, I feel sure) and a long-time champion of Sustainability, wrote this piece for us: Well now class, what does this much used buzz word really mean? Looking at the etymology we find it comes from Latin. SUB TENERE from below to hold SUSTINERE to hold up, sustain The Oxford English Dictionary also has this as one of its meanings. The way ‘sustainability’ is used today seems to mean many things. What does it mean to you? Answers...
