Curso que tiene como objetivo la comprensión de las energías que nos rodean, abrirnos al entendimiento y a nuestra capacidad de recibir la información para tomarlas cómo guías para nuestro transitar. Soy Ángeles Castillo, con 10 años de experiencia como canalizadora y facilitadora de este curso, que busca llegar a todo aquel que quiera integrar a su vida la sabiduria que nos pertenece y reconoce al ser humano como un ser en evolución y que quiere integrar la escucha de las energías que nos acompañan cómo ángeles y arcangeles, guías espirituales, maestros ascendidos, desencarnados en la luz ( comprenderemos todos estos términos durante el taller), animales de poder, elementales de la naturaleza y más. El curso consiste en 2 días de 4 horas donde recibirán la información sobre las dimensiones que podemos acceder, cómo saber si estoy canalizando (recibiendo la información de una consciencia externa a nosotros) o si es sólo creación de mi mente, como limpiar nuestros centros energéticos y cómo iniciar tu propia conección y práctica.

How did America end up trapped in a nightmare of conspiracy theories, in which millions see the government as an evil 'deep state '? In 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, a group of New York writers concocted what appeared to be a top-secret government report into what would happen to the USA if permanent global peace broke out. Report from Iron Mountain claimed that winding down America's vast war-making machinery would wreck the economy and tear society apart, necessitating draconian controls over the population. It was published as non-fiction – and was frighteningly convincing. Journalists tried to find out who had written it. Worried memos reached right up to the president. It became a bestselling cause célébre . Even when the hoax was revealed, many refused to believe it wasn't real. The Report was seized on by eager figures on the far right and in the militia movement, who insisted that it revealed terrifying government conspiracies to pollute the environment, enslave Americans and even instigate eugenics. And its legacy lives on today. Join Phil Tinline as he traces the story through a gallery of vivid characters, from the radical academic C. Wright Mills and the writers E.L. Doctorow, Victor Navasky and Leonard Lewin in 1960s New York, to the far-right impresario Willis Carto, Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, conspiracy theorist Milton William Cooper, L. Fletcher Prouty (the inspiration for 'Mr X' in the film JFK ), and ranting broadcaster Alex Jones. P HIL TINLINE is a freelance writer and documentary-maker. Over the course of twenty years working for BBC Radio , he made and presented many acclaimed documentaries about how political history shapes our lives. He has written for The Times , The Guardian , The Daily Telegraph , BBC History Magazine , Prospect , Unherd , Engelsberg Ideas and The New Statesman . He is the author of The Death of Consensus: 100 Years of British Political Nightmares and Ghosts of Iron Mountain . Thinking of coming with friends? Why not add to your special night out and enjoy the show in the comfort of a private booth and table ( seats 5). See the ' Book A Booth' option in the ticket sale section. Phil will also be signing copies of his latest book, ‘Ghosts of Iron Mountain’ , which will be available to purchase on the night. This event will take place upstairs in the Nightingale Room at The Grand Central Pub , Brighton. Unfortunately, there is no wheelchair access to the venue.

Our local, community-based services work together to ensure that our community get the support they need at the right time. Please visit www.uok.org.uk to find out more.

Location - Brighthelm Centre, North Road, Brighton, BN1 1YD Please note that the talk will touch on sensitive subjects such as suicide that some attendees may find distressing. Under 16s should ideally be accompanied by an appropriate adult. Our incredible, inspirational speaker delivering his talk 'Building Community through Service' is Daniel Wilsher. Daniel is an award-winning mental health speaker, finalist of Channel4’s hit show The Piano and Founder of Damaged Goods Co. and LivEdX Learning and Co. After losing a parent to suicide, Daniel was faced with his own battle against depression and anxiety. A battle that saw him drop out of university, lose ownership of a business, and struggle to maintain a job while fighting addiction and financial issues. After nearly a year of psychotherapy and medication, he started his journey as the UK’s youngest full-time mental health speaker with a vision to give people the skills, tools, knowledge and courage to cope with life’s challenges better than he has. 3 years later, Daniel has spoken to over 65,000 people, delivered a TEDx Talk, worked with clients such as META, Clifford Chance, Jaguar Land Rover, BT, ITSU, and the Ministry of Justice, shared his story with 5million people on TV, advised on mental health in education policy in education, launched his 100 Talks for Change initiative delivering 100 talks in 20 days across 63 schools to impact 20,000 students, and has saved a few lives along the way. It’s his mission to be the voice her wish he had when he was younger. To use his lived experience as a vehicle to create positive change in the lives of others. We are very excited to be welcoming him (back!) to Brighton for an inspirational talk, moving piano performance and audience Q&A. We can't wait to see you there for an evening of community connection. Information Source: Southdown | eventbrite
