10.15 - 11.45. Raw food Cookery Workshop with Rosie Smith, healer and health practitioner. £2.50
Having first run a successful business selling homemade, vegan soaps, it is a natural progression for Rosie to turn her imaginative skills to raw cuisine, with all its benefits to people and planet. Combining working in this way with being part of a healing practice named “Tranquillity”, she also works with natural therapies.

Being the only Scenar practitioner in Sheffield and the larger surrounding area, Rosie has worked sensitively and successfully with this “star trek” healing machine, first invented for use on Russian astronauts She is always keen to give clients a breakdown on how it works with pain.
Her stall, which sells all her talents, is well worth a visit.

Shelley started her healing work with the angels and also her guides back in the year 2000 but two years ago started to channel what is known as the “Green Ray” healing energy, via the nature spirits. Now holding workshops on this form of healing, she is also a Teaching Master of Reiki & Seichem and combines Green Reiki with Quantum Touch, Indian Head Massage and Emotional Freedom Technique, in her overall practice. The latter is an extremely powerful and effective way of ridding oneself of negative emotions and phobias. Yes, I’ll vouch for that.
