For
nearly 20 years both of us followed professional careers, Glenda as
a specialist Occupational Therapist in the NHS and Trevor as a Teacher.
While
Trevor ultimately became a Deputy Head, Glenda trained and qualified
in various complementary therapies and worked part-time in private
practice. We were both involved with spiritual healing.
In
the early 1990's we sought change to a calmer and more peaceful way
of life and were guided to a beautiful five-acre smallholding in west
Wales, where we grew much of our own food and enjoyed enhancing the
natural landscape to create a wildlife conservation area. |
|
The
opportunity to do this work ourselves, and almost entirely by hand,
gave us the most perfect chance to continue to evolve our own
spirituality and connectedness with 'all that is'. It also gave us
the time and space to practise and develop our skills and our work as
healers within the local and wider community, and to offer healing
retreats for individuals seeking help, rest and renewal.
Very
much drawn to the power of spirit in nature, Trevor began to explore
his particular interest in those spiritual traditions which honour
and celebrate the natural world. At the same time, Glenda discovered
the Dances of Universal Peace, in which she found the 'unity' ideals
of her own spiritual path so wonderfully expressed. |

Being
wholly captivated by these Dances, she allowed them to lead her
through her own (continuing) transformational journey of enormous
spiritual growth and deep inner healing, which she attributes largely
to this work. Having attended Leadership Training, she became a
certified Teacher and is now a Mentor Teacher, supporting and guiding
others who have a calling to lead the Dances.
Meanwhile,
Trevor trained for and became certified as a 'Shamanic
Practitioner'. Initially attracted by the energy of the Dances, he
was more gently drawn in. Subsequently, he has become an experienced
Dance musician, and also
a certified Dance
Leader in his own right, who shares the planning and presentation of
our Dance programmes. |
|
We
see the Dances as a natural extension of our healing work and
consider ourselves very blessed to be involved in an activity we
love; which promotes both individual and world peace, and which seems
to have woven together all the separate threads of our lives.
Now
based in Devon, living as peacefully and mindfully as possible at
home when not travelling with our work whenever and wherever it takes
us, we hope to continue to be always open to the 'awen' (flow of
divine inspiration) which has been gently guiding us on both our
joint and individual paths.
