welcome to the HOME PAGE of
the "school OF INNER LIGHT"!
School of Inner Light logo © 2009
We founded the "School of Inner Light" in Bournemouth in Dorset on the UK's South Coast in 2002, to offer training, courses, workshops, talks and personal one-to-one advice on many aspects of vibrational and crystal healing, energy work and personal growth and spiritual development, especially aimed at working positively towards personal and planetary Ascension. Our base of operations extended to Cwmdu, near Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire in 2011, and as well as offering courses in Dorset and Wales we are also happy to travel anywhere in the UK (or further afield) to teach, if there is sufficient interest. Our NEWSLETTER page on this site will keep you updated with what we are doing (and teaching) currently.
This website tells you all about us and the courses and workshops we are able to teach. Some are 1 or 2 year attended study courses; some are shorter workshops and study courses from 1 - 5 days duration. Any of these offer a CPD, if you need one. All our teaching is aimed at personal and spiritual growth and/or at Practitioner and Mastery training in "hands-on" healing modalities including Crystal Healing and Energy Work, Reiki and Angelic Multidimensional Healing. Currently we are working to develop some of our longer courses into distance study opportunities, and our newsletter and website will be updated as and when these are available. To find out more, simply follow the dropdown menu at the head of any page, or click on a highlighted link within the text in any page to go directly to further relevant information.

ANGELIC MULTIDIMENSIONAL HEALING: PRACTITIONER AND TEACHER TRAINING BOURNEMOUTH |
Angelic Multidimensional Healing is offered in 4 complete stages: stages 1 & 2 (Professional Practitioner) over 3 days; stage 3 (Master Practitioner) over 3 days; stage 4 (Master Teacher) over 3 additional days; and stage 5 (Teaching Master) over a final 2 days. Over this course you will form a sacred bond with a specific Angel who will join with you in all your Angelic healing and/or teaching work. The course will provide a great opportunity for you to advance your own personal growth and self-healing and understanding. It also offers an amazingly simple yet effective tool to enable you to connect and work closely with any of the Angels and Archangels, Ascended and Galactic Masters you choose. This is a truly life-enhancing training, whether you simply use it for yourself or for the benefit others. |
|
PRACTITIONER AND MASTER TRAINING BOURNEMOUTH |
Reiki is an excellent starting point for anybody who is beginning to "open up", and/or who is interested in developing their own innate healing skills for use as a Professional Practitioner, or simply for their own or their family's personal healing and growth. It also enhances any other therapy, for those that already are working with subtle energies. In just 2 days you can be attuned to the energies and learn how to start working with them safely and competently as a Reiki 1 healer. Reiki 2 Professional Practitioner level can follow (2 days), then Master Practitioner level (1 day); then finally Master Teacher level (2 days) completes the training for those that are drawn to teach this wonderful healing and growth system to others. |

ASCENSION - BOURNEMOUTH |
In 2008 we first offered our "Way of Ascension" attended personal growth course, where we introduced a range of tools and techniques to help develop and clarify the 4th and 5th Dimensional Unified Light Body. This Ascension course has been taught to 3 groups of Lightworkers so far, and over the last 4 years its energies have been refined and amplified. Don't think that just because we are already in 2012 it is too late to take this training! It will lead you to work deeply and intensely with your Lotus of the Heart and Lotus of the Soul, gradually clearing and expanding your energies and connecting you to the Highest Rays of the Diamond Light with a view to you connecting with your 5th Dimensional Light Body and accepting your potential for Personal Ascension. The course comprises 22 x 1-day sessions in total and runs over a 30 month period. It is presented under the guidance of Archangelic, Ascended and Cosmic Masters through a series of teachings that include profound guided visualisations and journeying. We accept people on this fast-track course at any current level of metaphysical understanding, as long as you are fully committed to the process. To find out more about Ascension and to read about the Rays and the Lotuses of the Heart and Soul follow this link to our Lightworkers website and look under the heading "Ascension: Personal". |
|
THE ANGELIC WAY OF ASCENSION: BOURNEMOUTH |
In 2004 we first produced a year-long attended personal growth course based upon working with 11 Archangels. Since then we have extended and developed it into an intensive and profound course that works with 26 Archangels and Archeia now entitled "The Angelic Way of Ascension". This course is suitable for anyone with an interest in the Angelic Realm and who is willing to manifest their teachings, gifts and attributes more fully in their lives as they work towards their personal Ascension. Don't think that just because we are already in 2012 it is too late for self-healing and growth! The course will show how you may link and work with specific Angelics through initiation and journeying, which brings the potential for deep and lasting healing and growth that will clear and expand your energy bodies so that you may hold more Light. The course will also bring you greater understanding about the roles of the masculine AND feminine aspects of these great Angelic Beings. The course comprises 13 x 1-day sessions run over a 13 month period, allowing periods of personal connection for greater healing and self-understanding between sessions. To learn more about the Archaeon, Archeia and Archangels and their roles, follow this link to our Lightworkers site for more information. |
| FOR YOUR INFORMATION... | We are in the process of developing and adapting the above two courses
as Distance Study personal growth options and we hope that the
"Angelic Way of Ascension" course will be available sometime
in autumn 2012; whilst the "Ascension - 2012 and beyond" -
course will be available sometime in 2013. Our NEWSLETTER page will update you when each is released. |

CRYSTAL JOURNEYS WITH THE ASCENDED MASTERS: MAINLAND UK |
Our Ascended Master workshop gives you the opportunity to meet and work with some of the 24 Ascended Masters who are part of our teaching set. You will do this through journeying and visualisation, supported and enhanced by special crystal energy grids. These grids are gifts channelled to Mark by each Ascended Master that bring with them particular vibrational energies that can work on many aspects of your growth and development. The workshop will help you become more aware of Ascended Master energies and be open to receive their gifts, wisdom, love and guidance. Each half-day section has a theme within which each group of Masters asks to work with you. These are: Working with aspects of Balance; Working with the Heart Centre; Working to Cleanse, Transform and Transmute Negativity; and Preparations for Moving to the Next Dimensions. |
|
CRYSTAL JOURNEYS WITH THE ELEMENTALS: MAINLAND UK |
Our Elementals workshop gives you the opportunity to meet and work with the Elementals. You will do this using crystal grids and guided visualisations, and by journeying within. It will introduce you to the Directors of the Elementals and to the delightful Beings who work with the elements of earth, air, fire and water - the gnomes, sylphs, salamanders and undines. They all have a great deal to teach you and much support to offer in your daily lives, as well as being there for input, help and guidance about healing and balancing all of the natural elements in, upon and surrounding our planet, Earth. The workshop will also aim to explain how and why the elements and the Elementals function as they do, and connect you with the Directors of the Elementals themselves - Pelleur and Prosperina; Aries and Thor; Neptune and Luara and Oromasis and Diana. |

CRYSTAL JOURNEYS TO ANCIENT EGYPT: MAINLAND UK |
On this 2-day (or 4-day) Archetypes of Ancient Egypt workshop you will be working with some of the 22 Gods, Goddesses and Archetypal energies of Ancient Egypt that have stepped forwards to offer their support for the purposes of the workshop. The days will include journeying and visualisation with the assistance of crystal grids composed specifically for the purposes of the workshop. It will be especially helpful for those who have had Egyptian past-lives or who work with Egyptian guides. Interestingly we are also finding many of these Archetypal energies coming forwards to assist with our Ascension teachings at this time. Each half-day (or day) section has a theme within which each group of Archetypes asks to work with you. These are: Preparation and Planning; Clearing and Balance; Knowledge through Introspection; and Initiation and Change. |

CRYSTAL JOURNEYS TO THE STARS: MAINLAND UK |

These are gifts from the Cosmos and the Ascended Masters of our Solar System which bring particular vibrational energies that will work on many aspects of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual Selves. They will also strengthen your connection to the network of help and support available from our brothers and sisters of the Stars, especially now the gates have been opened to permit us to have much closer contact and liaise with our Starry Allies. Each section (half-day) will have a theme within which each group wants to work: Balancing, Healing and Grounding; Taking Healing and Balance Further; Finding Your Path Forwards; and Grounding Clarity to Enhance Understanding. |

THE DRAGONS OF THE INFINITE LIGHT OF CREATION:
|
This one day workshop, which will work with the Lady Master Quan Shih
Yin, The Dragon Master, and with archetypal Dragon energy under the
guidance of the Dragons of the Rainbow Realm, is currently under
construction. It is anticipated that the workshop will include working
with our Crystal Dragon Skulls to help you understand more about the
concept of Light and its administration in the process of Co-creation
and manifestation, and about the nature of our Divine Selves, through
the frequencies of Black and White Light and an understanding of the
nature of the "Pearl Beyond Price". (Web-page still in development - no links yet available) |
|
THE WAY OF THE RAY-MASTERS: |
This course is still in the development phase, but will be a 12 x
1-day course held over 1 year, that will include working in depth with
the Ascended and Cosmic Masters; Ray-Masters, Chohans and Elohim of the
10 Sacred Rays of our Solar System. (Web-page still in development - no links yet available) |
|
THE ANGELIC WAY OF |
A series of 13 modules will be offered as a distance learning course consisting of a series of home study elements distributed over the internet, that will include journal keeping as a required element. Each module and energetic template transfer in the series will attune you to the energies of a specific Archaeon / Archangel and their feminine counterpart, and allow you the time and opportunity to experience, manifest and work with those energies more closely. In all you will be given the opportunity to work with 26 Angelics. The complete course presents a unique opportunity to make huge leaps forward in spiritual growth and self-understanding as you move towards Ascension, bringing the potential for huge changes to be made on many levels in your life, if you are prepared to have the courage and "take the plunge". Don't think that just because we are already in 2012 it is too late for self-healing and growth! |
|
THE WAY OF THE MASTERS: |
Our "Way of the Masters" personal growth course was first run as part of our "Torches" group evening meetings and was developed from workshops we researched in 2005. In this distance learning course we bring you guidance from a range of Ascended Masters in working with tools for self-growth and healing through visualisation and journaling. There are 8 parts to this 24 session course, run as a consecutive series - there being 3 sessions per part. This course will be suitable for those with a basic understanding of spiritual and metaphysical principles who would like to learn more. It will be a less intense version of the Ascension course (above), concentrating on working deeply with 24 Masters, both those better known as well as some new ones. To understand or learn more about the 24 Ascended Masters, follow this link to our Lightworkers website. |
|
THE WAY OF ASCENSION - 2012 AND BEYOND: |
A series of 22 modules will be offered as a distance learning course consisting of a series of home study elements distributed over the internet and will include journal keeping as a required element. The "Way of Ascension - 2012 and Beyond" series is primarily aimed towards personal healing, wholeness, balance and accelerated spiritual growth. Throughout the series of teachings we will facilitate access to a greater understanding of embodied humanity's True spiritual and energetic nature and the plan some call "Ascension", and show ways of working with various tools and techniques to help all sentient life and our planet at this important time in Earth's spiritual history. The aim is always to encourage you to practise working with the new skills learnt, so each may become strong and self-sufficient in their own way of working. For many this will be a time of "apprenticeship" (supported by Ascended and Cosmic Masters, Archaeon, Archangels and Ancient Archetypal energies) as you move towards acquiring balance and discernment in all things and so realise your full, and True, potential as a Universal Being of Light. Don't think that just because we are already in 2012 it is too late to take this training! To find out more about Ascension follow this link to our Lightworkers website and look under "Ascension: Personal". |

CRYSTAL
HEALING AND ENERGY WORK DIPLOMA COURSE |
We first developed this unique Crystal Healing and Energy Work Diploma course (see syllabus) in 2003, combining crystal healing/therapy with Reiki and other advanced Energy work/practise. It is a two-year part-time Professional Practitioner course that includes 30 days attended teaching sessions (see modules) spread over approximately a two year period. We prefer to run this course on a flexible basis, ON DAYS TO SUIT YOU, based at our Bournemouth teaching and therapy rooms, with a small intake of 4-6 students that will ensure each attendee receives a great deal of personal attention and individual coaching. Classes are usually taught on an academic and intuitive level by Hilary with support and input on an "energetic / subtle" level provided by Mark. All modules are held in a safe and energetically supported environment. This course is suitable for anyone with an interest in working in depth with crystals and in the advanced field of Vibrational Therapies, and who wishes to be able to practise as a therapist to a high standard that will enable them to join a professional body and hold professional indemnity insurance. |
|
CRYSTAL SALES: |
We also sell top-quality hand selected crystals for therapists and enthusiasts, and have an ON-LINE SHOP devoted to this. Find out, see more or buy on-line at www.innerlightcrystals.co.uk This site also has descriptions, photographs and prices of all crystals we have for sale, along with helpful information about many crystal varieties and their uses and care. |
|
THE WAY OF THE MASTERS: |
This "Way of the Masters" personal growth course was first run as part of our "Torches" group evening meetings and was developed from workshops we researched in 2005. In this attended course we bring you guidance from a range of Ascended Masters in working with tools for self-growth and healing through visualisation and journaling. There are 8 parts to this 24 session course, run as a consecutive series over about a year - there being 3 sessions per part. This course will be suitable for those with a basic understanding of spiritual and metaphysical principles who would like to learn more. It will concentrate on working deeply with 24 Ascended Masters, some of which are well-known , as well as some that are likely to be new to you. To understand more about the Ascended Masters, follow this link to our Lightworkers website. |
|
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE 4 GREAT ARCHANGELS AND ARCHEIA: |
This introductory Archangels course will introduce you to 4 of the best-known Archangels and their feminine counterparts: Michael and Mikaela; Gabriel and Hope; Raphael and Mareia and Uriel and Rainbow Aurora. You will learn how to communicate with them using crystals, and come closer to their energies through guided visualisations and journeying. Between each guided session you will be asked to note and then share your interactions with each Angelic, and observe the many different ways in which each may choose to draw closer and be of help - which may not always be in the way you are expecting! |
|
AN INTRODUCTION TO CRYSTAL HEALING: |
This will be a busy and very full introductory Crystal Healing workshop, demonstrating how to choose and look after gemstones and crystals, and to start to work with them in a responsible fashion. It will provide a condensed introduction to the concept of working with colour, vibrational tools and subtle energy and will outline how our physical and non-physical bodies (i.e. the chakras and subtle auric layers) are all connected. There will be plenty of hands on practical work involved, and you will learn how to perform a simple crystal healing treatment with four different components - for yourself, family or friends. A basic crystal "starter pack" will be included in the fee. |
|
WORKING WITH CRYSTALS AND THE CHAKRAS: |
This short Crystals and Energy-Work workshop is aimed at those who already know the correct methods of looking after crystals, and who have started to work with them with confidence. You will need to already understand the basic concept of the aura, the chakras and the subtle body systems, and be able to work with a dowsing pendulum. The 8 session workshop will provide in-depth information about the 7 major linear chakras, and show how to work with them in a healing situation using crystals and crystal templates. It is a useful follow on to the introductory workshop (above) but attendance on that workshop is not a requirement if you already have the skills outlined above. This workshop may well also interest those who have already acquired a basic working knowledge of crystals and who work in other fields of "energy work" where a deeper understanding of the chakras would be useful. |
|
THE MANY FACES OF QUARTZ: |
This short "Intuitive" workshop is aimed at those who are already comfortable working with quartz in healing and self-development situations. The 6 session workshop will explore many types and forms of the wonderful quartz family from all around the world and show how to recognise these on a practical and energetic level, encouraging intuitive recognition and exploration. If you have some "psychic" skills and want to develop these in interaction with crystals, then this workshop may appeal to you. It is not necessary to have attended the other two workshops shown above, but it is rather "specialised" as not everyone will have the interest or abilities that will be appropriate for the workshop. It is perhaps much more for personal development / information gathering rather than for using directly in a healing situation. |
|
THE STRANGER AND THE SKULLS: |
Many seekers on the Path find themselves asking questions such as: "who am I? ... what is my purpose?" as they journey through life. This Crystal Skulls workshop has evolved to help you discover some of the answers you have been looking for, and help you create your own unique token that will support you as your journey of self-exploration continues into the future. On the day you will work with visualisation and the energies of the artwork known as "The Stranger", and with a selection of Crystal Skulls of whom we are the Guardians. If you have your own Crystal Skull please feel free to bring it/them with you. There will be several other crystal skulls there - some owned by us, others in need of a good home who are looking for their own skull-keeper! Any of them are happy to be used "on loan" for the day if you do not have a crystal skull of your own and/or are unable to afford one. Follow these links to find out more about "The Stranger" and "The Skulls". |
|
COMMUNICATING WITH CRYSTALS: |
This "intuitive" Crystal workshop will give you the opportunity to experience the energies of some common, rare and unusual crystals both large and small. Whether you work with our large quartz Master crystals or with our tiny Satyaloka quartz points, you will learn that size does not really matter! You may also have the opportunity to hold and explore some of the more unusual crystals and minerals we stock, and find out what truly resonates with you - and perhaps why! Using visualisation, journeying and free writing the day will aim to help you expand your senses to enable you to listen to the stories and advice that the crystals have to give, and understand how to work in loving partnership and be able to communicate with all our crystal friends. |
|
ENERGY (PSYCHIC) PROTECTION AND SUPPORT:
|
If you work in any kind of healing or caring profession, or meet or mix with a wide range of people during your daily life, it would be of benefit to you to learn a little about how to take care of your energy field and system (aura and chakras). We have found that it is also of vital importance that all Light Workers and healers understand the need for effective energy protection in their daily and working lives. Too many are open to energies they would be better off without! This workshop introduces you to the whys and wherefores of energy protection - what it is, why it is needed and how you may do it. It will suggest, demonstrate and teach some effective cleansing and clearing routines plus show you techniques for cleansing and protecting both your Self and your home and work place. |
