Teaching in London

2010-09-22T04:31:00.002+01:00

I think there is something very comforting about Autumn and the start of a new class or group. Perhaps it's the memories of being back at school and nostalgic simpler days, or maybe even the change of a season, shedding old leaves, making way for new energy and ideas.
Having just started an Autumn term with two brand new classes At Sue Allen's 'School Of Intuition and Healing I begin to feel the familiar excitement of students taking their first steps or even further steps in their development with enthusiasm and commitment! Every week on a Wednesday afternoon I will once again take the train to the big city and have a feast of exploration, experimentation and also fun with our friends in Spirit and a team of willing students!!

It can hardly be described as work can it :)?

The Mediumship Experience 26 & 27th May

2010-06-03T06:17:00.005+01:00

Hi Everyone,

It seems hard to believe that The Mediumship Experience was a week ago and time flies by so quickly!
This was a new project with my colleague/broadcaster Frankie Hatton and myself bringing a medium and sceptic to the stage in 2 theatre evenings where the audience could be involved, interact and experience for themselves the subject of psychic abilities that I believe lie within us all, and a connection to loved ones who have passed to the spirit world.
The aim of the shows was to bring a balanced view to what is often thought to be a controversial subject where believers, those who are unsure, and those who have no belief can come together, share in their experience and decide for themselves if it is simply the mind at work or something truly out of the known five senses.
Not only is Frankie a sceptic, but an interested one and his questioning was excellent in promoting thoughts and questions during the evenings with some interesting results.
We would like to thank all of those who volounteered to take part in the psychic experiments during the first half of the 2 evenings and also those who recieved messages from loved ones in the second half of each show.
We are now looking forward to The Mediumship Experience tour of the UK in the Autumn and hope to see you there. Dates will be posted on the diary page of my website.

Frankie and I can be heard exchanging views, talking paranormal and recieving feedback and questions from listeners every Thursday between 5 and 6pm UK time on 'Frankie Factor' BayFM radio www.thebayfm.com. Hope you can join us!

2010-05-09T22:35:00.004+01:00

Looking back over the last week I realise how blessed I am, as ever, to work in so many different ways with Spirit.
With a mixture of evenings of mediumship, private readings, private tuition, workshops and a brand new 'slot' on BayFM radio which began on Thursday, I reflect back to my many years working as a trained Baker and Confectioner without a thought of ever becoming a Medium!
Life has an amazing way of taking unexpected paths, and being on the night shift in my small shop in Lincolnshire, putting finishing touches to wedding and celebration cakes, I could never have imagined how my life would change and will no doubt continue to do so.
Many of us find ourselves in a far distant place to where we imagined we would be at a certain time in our lives. Sometimes those changes can send us into unfamiliar territory which we resist because of uncertainty, and sometimes a sat nav for life's journey would seem a handy thing to have. We would all know what to expect and be prepared for change which would make the transition through life so much easier.
But would it?
The fabric of our very being is shaped by experience and how we grow and learn from it. Often I hear people say that although they did not realise why some events in life were happening at the time, the reasons so often later became clear for good reason, however traumatic, confusing or even joyous.
Nothing in life can ever stand still, even if we were to sit silently in a room for a day and do nothing the world will continue to change around us.
There are circumstances which we may have little or no control over but if we have the strength to embrace the unknown we may find ourselves on the most amazing journey of discovery of not only ourselves but of those around us.
If we find the courage to recognise that each second in time is perfect in it's existence, and that we cannot be in a wrong moment, then we are truly living life rather than simply existing within it.
Planning for the future is wise and gives us all a sense of security, but wisdom also comes from knowing that if we move to the rhythm of our own tune as it plays, the symphony then becomes a masterpiece!

Love Donna x

Easter Already??

2010-04-02T09:13:00.002+01:00

It surely cannot be Easter? It was only Christmas 5 minutes ago! I often hear people say that the time seems to fly by so quickly these days and there are now theories to suggest that the earth is speeding up.
I wonder if it is just that we all live a faster pace of life with texts, instant messaging and the like as well as demands on our time.
I am often very focused on making plans for what happens next, how etc and I sometimes forget to simply live in and appreciate the moment, the now.
From experience I know that in looking ahead so much of the time I often reflect back on an event, a meeting with a friend or loved one and realise that I perhaps could have enjoyed it more if I had 'stopped to smell the roses on the way' so to speak.
So, I have a few days now without work over the Easter break and I know exactly how I will be spending that time - savouring every second of it with loved ones, and the diary is firmly locked away somewhere safe!
None of us know how long we have on our journey here and as the saying goes 'Enjoy the gift of today, which is why it is called the present....'

Have a wonderful, peaceful Easter everyone, one day at a time :) xx

Another Great Seminar

2010-02-28T23:48:00.003Z

Well I can honestly say I am now back in the land of the living (pardon the pun!) following another fabulous 5 days at The Coberhill Conference Centre Nr Scarborough at our annual seminar 'The Spirit Experience'
Feedback suggests that this was our best year ever with excellent Tutors Jay love and my own tutor and mentor, Maureen Murnan working with me. It was almost too much to take in that Maureen and I were sharing the week alonside each other in similar roles as it seems like only yesterday when I first walked into Maureen's class as a brand new developing medium.
In addition to many memorable moments with our guests/students was the trance experimental evening in which Maureen gave an excellent demonstration of this wonderful phenomena, followed by a physical mediumship demonstration by the spirit world who established a code of communication with us through 'rappings'from apparently inside of the piano in the room.
The evidence of Spirit contact was unquestionable to those who were there to share this incredible experience and I personally felt honoured to have been a witness to such proof of the afterlife.
Special and grateful thanks to Jay and Maureen and also to Alexa, my Course Organiser, who sadly hung up her hat for the position this year after 3 years on the team due to work commitments, what ever shall I do with out her? I wish her every happiness in her new position. Also to everyone including guests and staff who made those few days special for so many people - next year here we come :)

A New Decade

2010-01-23T00:15:00.002Z

Happy 2010 everyone and I hope that your start to the new decade has been brilliant so far. Being snowed in for several days this month gave me the unique opportunity to catch up in the office and focus on new projects, in addition to bringing the programme together for my residential seminar NR Scarborough in February. I am always excited about this annual event as we always have a fab time and welcome old friends and new.
What I did notice about the extraordinary weather is that despite the disruption it caused for many, it seemed to bring people together on many levels.
News reports of rallying round to help neighbours and the elderly as well as the child in many of us building their own community snowmen, to me were heartwarming. In a world where time and materialism threaten the very existence of family life there were those, myself included, who had no option but to not go to work, and to just stay home together, proving to us once again that whatever man may create, mother nature really is the boss.
On that note also our thoughts as a nation have been with those affected by the devastation in Haiti. May it be a lesson to us all that however many challenges our lives give us, and however much we grumble about our lot,we are truly blessed by comparison.

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-20T08:42:00.003Z

Hi Everyone,

It's almost hard to believe that once again another year has passed and we are all getting ready for that time of the year.
The snowfall we have had here in Lincolnshire has put me well and truly in the festive mood!
My diary is looking very full and exciting in 2010 including working trips abroad, workshops, demonstrations, 1-2-1's and 'The Mediumship Experience' which is an interactive evening of psychic discovery and mediumship with myself and broadcaster/sceptic Frankie Hatton in the UK in the Spring.
The new diary dates will be up on the website shortly so be sure to keep checking back!
Thank you all for your support in my work with Spirit over the past 12 months and I look forward to seeing you again in the coming year, and meeting new faces also.
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and may 2010 bring you more happiness than you could ever have imagined possible:)

Seasonal Reflection!

2009-12-07T09:17:00.002Z

As the end of 2009 approaches what a better time for reflection and rejuvination than this.I personally feel it has been a year of great opportunity but also challenge for many that I know and have worked with.
Challenges are presented to us for the experience of becoming stronger and finding our true spirit within, even if it sometimes seems as though there is no purpose in them at the time. Each time we work through these, we come to understand not only ourselves but those around us. challenges often bring us into contact with new friends,and give new life to relationships with those we have come to know better. The joys in life bring us these too, and of course life does need to have balance.

What ever the coming year brings, embrace each moment knowing that everything is divinely in it's rightful place and time, and that there is a reason for all things.
Dont forget friends, a new motto for 2010 - Love like you've never been hurt, live each day as if it's your last, and dance like there's nobody watching:)

love D xx

New Update

2009-11-13T12:24:00.002Z

Hi Everyone,
As ever the diary has been very busy since my last post. I had the great pleasure of being invited to work in Belfast for a few days and that was a great experience. I had not realised just how warm the people are there and I was made very welcome. Brian lynch, a lovely proffesional medium runs a centre there where I worked and there is clearly a huge interest for mediumship in Belfast. many thanks to Brian and John for organising the trip and I look forward to returning next summer:)

More recently I went out to San Roque, Spain to take part in a brand new demonstration of mediumship which I developed with my friend and colleague Frankie Hatton who is a broadcaster and sceptic.
'The Mediumship Experience' was a very enjoyable evening with some excellent feedback as we invited audience participation with psychic excersises followed by a demonstration of mediumship given by myself and with a difference.
Frankie provided a valuable and entertaining balance as a sceptic/ investigator and asked the questions most people would really like to ask and often don't, bringing uniqueness to the evening.
We will continue to develop this and hope to bring it to the UK in 2010 as a mini tour so will keep you all posted:)

The diary is packed with workshops, 1-2-1's and dems for the coming months ahead to keep me out of mischief but I'll update again soon.

Love D xx

Making the Difference

2009-09-22T22:30:00.002+01:00

Regular readers of my blog may have realised that Spiritual development and the fascilitating/teaching of it is a passion of mine.
I have a regular and established group on a Monday evening for students training for public work and this week we were kindly invited to a very sensitive situation which not only helped the students but gave healing help to a grieving family in coming to terms with the loss of their son in very difficult and almost unknown circumstances.
It is vital for any student to work within a protected and supportive enviroment but this very honoured opportunity outside of our usual venue allowed them to experience the qualities of sensitivity required in a very real experience of the work of a medium.
My heartfelt thanks and gratitude are with the family who so kindly asked if we would attend the location whose strength and courage touched us all, and to the students who demonstrated their empathy and compassion as very capable future mediums.

Seminars and Podcasts..

2009-08-26T08:07:00.003+01:00

Having just arrived home from a 7 day seminar in North Yorkshire I'm burning the candle at both ends catching up with all of the e-mails and of course the blog!
Seminars are very exciting as we as tutors have an opportunity to really get to know the guests and to be a special part of the bonding that so often takes place between them.
Arrival day is the one where most of the students are finding their feet with where they are in their development, being away from home and sometimes not knowing anyone and its just terrific to see each one surpass even their own expectations in the most unique and unexpected way.
The seminar was hosted by 'The Butterfly Fellowship'which was founded 2 years ago by the Lovely John Conway and friends in memory of one of Spiritualisms very special people, Heather Hatton, late wife of Eric Hatton who is the ex - President of the Spiritualists National Union.
It was a priviledge to be a part of the week and I look forward to working alongside them again next year.
Also a big shout this week to Darren Yates, Aston FM's 'Cheeky Chappy' who is giving his expertise to launch my podcasts soon to be available via my website, in addition to some other exciting developments...we'll keep you posted!

Have a fabulous week and check back soon for more updates....

Spiritually Technical Ponderings........

2009-08-10T09:41:00.007+01:00

It never ceases to amaze me how the work of a medium can be so varied and change in so many ways. As a newcomer to Spiritualism 13 years ago I could not have imagined how widely available and accessable mediumship and education would become.
Yesterday we had a loss of power for a while.
The office of light was plunged into total silence without the usually unnoticed constant whir of the computer. No e-mail, no internet, no phone to ring, I felt completely lost in the eerie quiet.
I thought in awe of Doris Stokes who achieved so much without the use of computers, mobile phones,Facebook and with 3 channels on the TV. Doris, like so many other earlier mediums, reached out around the world by more simplistic methods that were just as powerful.
Of course many of the pioneers of Spiritualism achieved great things without telephone or television which is testament to Spirit making their mighty message heard utilizing the channels of communication available to them.
Yesterday gave me the time out to ponder this point.

I am soon to join the world of the podcast which will be available on a regular basis via my website so we will keep you up to date on that and you can find me on Facebook too so please drop by and say hello.
Oh we are so fortunate to have such technical freedom but in revelling in that, may we remember with pride,honour and respect, those who faced far greater challenges in much simpler times and succeeded in bringing the knowledge of Spirit this far regardless.

A Busy Week Ahead..

2009-08-02T20:26:00.002+01:00

Hi Everyone,

Having recently started giving 1-2-1's again after a break I re - remembered how much I have enjoyed not only working in that way but how great it is to meet clients and also their loved ones in Spirit.

Summer is always busy for me and this is also my development time so more exciting news is to come through the diary page of my website shortly so be sure to visit!

Having had a lovely week at Coberhill recently with the Lynwood Fellowship I shall be packing my bags and heading back there on 15th August for 7 days with The Butterfly Fellowship. This is my first opportunity to work with the Fellowship with Mediums and Tutors Leah Bond and John Conway. John tells me he is taking his karaoke machine and that I am excpected to be in fine voice and fettle - the poor guy has NO idea what he has started and by the second night I will no doubt be found locked and gagged in the laundry cupboard for the wellbeing of the disposition of all concerned..
Yesterday (Saturday 1st August) I was an invited guest Of Aston FM Big City Radio's Darren Yates for a live chat. Darren is a great personality with a healthy interest in mediumship and the paranormal so in addition to the chat, banter and phone ins we had a very enjoyable afternoon - Thanks Darren!

A busy week ahead awaits with teaching and 1-2-1's and I look forward to meeting some of you during that time, and as always please e-mail me if you have a question or enquiry.

Lets hope for some good old British summer weather too...

love Donna x

All Good Things!

2009-06-27T13:26:00.005+01:00

Having started 1-2-1's sittings and personal tuition again recently I had forgotten how much I enjoy them. I have had a break for almost a year from giving them locally but am now pleased to be seeing existing friends as well as meeting new ones.
One of the aspects of my work that I love is the many different ways of working with Spirit and my diary is at the moment a fairly equal mix between teaching, demonstrations and private sittings. I am often asked to lecture as well which is always a joy - I just love talking about Spirit!
I am heading of To Coberhill next Sunday for a few days with the Lynwood Fellowship to give workshops and lectures and as this is one of my favourite venues I am looking forward to it imensley. The fellowship is full of very nice people so it should be a jolly old time indeed:)

This week I have just started working on developing a very exciting new project with a good friend of mine and when finalised all will be revealed. I am buzzing with excitement at the prospect of bringing this unique opportunity to life so be sure to watch this space !!

On a different note I was personally affected by the passing of Michael Jackson this week. Everyone will have their own views on this but as a Spiritualist I know that even though he will have fulfilled what he came here to do, it's the grief of Michaels family, friends and fans that touches me.
I feel very blessed to believe that there is a life onwards from this one but I still grieve for those things that are familiar to us human beings,which are then taken from our physical lives.
I hope now having returned home to Spirit that Michael finds peace and solace from the challenges in his life. May this remind us all of how much we need to appreciate each other and every moment of our lives with people we love before we blink and they are gone.

2009-05-28T05:37:00.002+01:00

Hi Everyone,
Another hugely busy month has passed since the last entry which leaves me to think 'where does the time go?'
I was invited to go to Witney, Oxfordshire once again earlier in the month to give a dem and 2 day workshop for 'Third Eye Workshops' a highly successful project founded and run by Debbie Blakeney. There is so much interest in spiritual subjects in that area and the dem was well attended as were the workshops. As always the people were very warm and friendly and I had a great time...just hope they all did lol!
That was followed by a dem at Jenny's Sancuary, Banbury on a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon a week later and the atmoshere was just great for clear evidence, lots of contacts as well as some riotous fun with some very lively Spirit folk:)
So in addition to my Thursdays teaching at The College of Psychic Studies, other groups, I am now making appointments again for 1:1 sittings and personal tuition, details which can be found on my website.
Already some great opportunities are coming to fruition for later this year and also 2010 with at least one invite to work in Spain, Gibraltar, Istanbul and early plans for Greece and Cyprus. I consider myself very blessed to love my work and feel very excited about so many things....

Tomorrow Evening (May 29th)I have the great privilege to share the platform at the College in a demonstration of Art and Mediumship with my friend and colleague, June-Elleni -Laine.
We both talk considerably and are vibrant approach to our work so it should be a very lively evening......come and join the fun - details on my diary page as usual.

Magician V Medium Experiment

2009-04-26T12:21:00.003+01:00

Taking part in this event gave me one of the most profound experiences in the time I have been working as a medium for many different reasons.

Organised by Fright Nights, Hosted by Ciaran O'keefe and held at The Dragon Hall Covent Garden this experiment between Magician Peter Campbell -Wells and myself was not so much a versus but more of a demonstration of how cold reading by Peter and mediumship by myself are two totally separate processes.

I admit to feeling under pressure (who wouldn't!) for the event but those who know me also know that I am always ready for a challenge and so when I was invited to demonstrate at the event I could not refuse..
For me the importance of this demonstration is something that very much needed to be achieved and shown because as we mediums know only too well, we are constantly thought to use 'Cold Reading' techniques in place of genuine mediumship.

Peter gave a good demonstration of 'tricks of the mind' which have been suggested over the years are techniques used by mediums and psychics, and then I gave a demonstration of mediumship which was challenging to say the least.
However it soon became clear that the arising challenges gave the opportunity for me to show that a cold reader would have simply fitted seemingly misplaced information to anyone willing to take it rather than let a connection go if the right recipient could not be found.

Feedback from the public and the organisers clearly indicated that the afternoon had been a success in separating the two processes which was a great result. I am so pleased to have been a part of the experiment.

Spain and Gibraltar April 2009

2009-04-26T12:10:00.002+01:00

Just returned from 10 days in Spain and Gibraltar having had a really great time even if the schedule was somewhat punishing at times!!
With 40ish 1-2-1's, 2 dems, a workshop, healing sessions and tutorials all done I finally landed back in the UK midnight on Wednesday evening. As always the people out there are so embracing of all things Spiritual so it's easy for Spirit to work well and as always it's nice to see old friends and new.
The sun actually came out and stayed out this time which was a miracle in the making!
Now I am looking forward to going out again in 2010 and big thanks to Frankie and Lourdes for putting in the time to organise such a busy schedule.

The main question now for me has to be 'How do I live without Tapas until then?' :) x

2009-03-29T12:38:00.002+01:00

Hi All,
It's been a very busy 10 days with theatre evenings, journeys to The College of Psychic Studies in London for classes and 1-2-1's and I have travelled almost 1000 miles in that time.
A slightly 'hairy' situation occurred whilst travelling on the A1 to a dem at The Hawth in Crawley on Friday as we had a puncture so instead of a nice easy drive to avoid the Friday traffic at the Dartford Crossing, we spent most of that time huddled against the howling wind on the hard shoulder waiting for the RAC as the wheel was firmly stuck.
We arrived at the Theatre with 15 minutes to spare before the start of the Dem (no stress there then) but thankful that the traffic fairies and the RAC got us there at all!
That said it was a lovely night with lots of healing messages and laughter as always, so if you were there, thank you for being a great supportive audience.

If you were at the dem in Martham, Norfolk last night it was great to see old friends and new and a big shout for Norman, Jenny and team for running such an excellent evening. I was amazed at the number of people who attended the evening from Martham and surrounding villages and for the support for mediumship in that part of the world.
Thanks everyone and see you again next year!

Theatre Dem, Stevenage 18th March

2009-03-19T22:22:00.002Z

A huge thank you to all who came along to support us at The Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage last night.It was great to see so many people supporting each other when messages were given even if they didnt have one themselves and that kind of generosity of spirit always makes me smile.
In the second half, for the first 20mins, I actually stepped back in time to a way I often used to work as a newly 'fledged' medium by asking audience members the relationship of someone they would love to hear from and then asking that spirit if they could join us and give us their evidence.
It was a very successful experiment and raised the atmosphere even higher than it was.
Tommorrow night I am looking forward to The South Holland Centre, Spalding where the DVD was filmed almost a year ago....hope to see you there.

Spain and Gibraltar April 2009

2009-03-18T13:57:00.003Z

I cannot quite believe that it's coming around to that time of the year when I head off to dear old Gibraltar once again. I am always excited to go out there because there is such a need for mediumship in those parts and I am looking forward to seeing my lovely existing clients again as well as welcoming new ones.
Another exciting aspect of my visit this time is that I am working in Spain before Gibraltar, organised by my good friend Frankie Hatton, interviewer on my DVD. I shall be giving a Dem in Estepona, a workshop and 1-2-1's before going over to Gibraltar for a Dem and 1-2-1's.
Being very English I usually go dressed like a tourist but for every visit to date it has rained from the moment I get off the plane until the moment I get back on it - locals be warned, from 11-22nd April dont leave home without your brolly....

Details of this trip are available through the diary page on this site x

Solihul Dem 13th March

2009-03-18T13:49:00.002Z

I just love working in the West Midlands! I have met some great people all over the UK and abroad but there is something very warm and welcoming about the folks from Brum and Friday evening at The Dovehouse Theatre Solihul was no exception.
As always, in an intimate setting the messages from Spirit came pouring through and althought there were a lot of new people to a demonstration of mediumship, they all seemed to join in with their enthusiasm!! Thanks everyone you were great..I am just getting ready to leave for a Dem at The Gordon Craig Theatre Stevenage tonight :) See you there! xx

Coberhill Seminar 2009

2009-03-17T10:07:00.008Z

Once again this event was a huge success!!! There is something very special about spending a few days at The Coberhill Conference Centre with like minded people, living and breathing Spirit for 5 days away from the distractions of everyday life.
With a mixture of individual groups, workshops, demonstrations to name but a few programme events, a great time was had by all.

Our excellent Tutors, Jean Blackabee and Jay love bought their own special brand of magic to the seminar through their experience,their dedication and their humour, all bought together by Alexa, our wonderful course organiser.
The Tutors gave a joint demonstration of mediumship on the first evening, then a Victorian seance on the Tuesday evening, a student demonstration on Wednesday evening and Thursday evening was not for the faint hearted as the tutors cavorted around in a 'skit' for the students. A rendition of 'Blind Date' our titled offering 'Blind Faith' (see photos) unfolded the tale of a medium seeking a new Spirit Guide.

With Graham as the Medium and myself as the lovely Cilla, we attempted to pair him with one of our Spirit contestants, Jean aka Mystic Smog, Alexa as Sydneyrella Vicious (the punk Princess)and Jay as Madame Rupinda Patel, (a Victorian lady of the night) and chaos prevailed bringing a lighthearted final evening to a fabulous seminar.
We are now open for booking for The Spirit Experience Coberhill 2010,with Tutors Donna Stewart, Jay love and Maureen Murnan so make sure you secure your place as they are disappearing fast!!!

Plans for a good working year!

2009-02-06T22:35:00.002Z

Hi Friends,

I trust you are all well today and just updating you on latest news!

My poor office does not know what has hit it this weekend! In keeping with the beginning of the 'Age of Aquarius' due to move into alignment on 14th February, my energy, like many others at this time has moved to a new level and I am 'buzzing'

The changes really began in the early hours of this last Thursday morning (about 3pm to be precise)when I woke up suddenly and felt a need to consult my spirit friends, almost as if there was a 'message waiting' in my cranial inbox.

Since then I have turned my usually busy office into a place of space and order with even a special place on my desk for a mug of tea!

My diary is now spilling over with new workshops, personal tuition sessions and at last, the resume of 1-2-1 sittings on Wednesdays from May onwards in addition to Theatre dates, radio interviews, Churches and centres to name but a few.

Over the next few days these will be posted on the diary page of the website so be sure to check back! www.donnastewart.co.uk

How ironic that so many of my colleagues and friends have had similar changes during these past few days which I somehow feel is not unrelated to the heavy snowfalls for those of us here in the UK.

In bringing many of us to a standstill, purifying the earth with it's beauty, and giving many folk little option but to simply have the time to ponder and focus and spend unexpected time with loved ones, I am sure we have been giving a blessing in disguise, although our thoughts must go out to those who were touched by tradegy.

And so as a new age dawns beginning on 14th February let's all take a thought from st Valentines Day to carry with us into the future. Give Love, share love, accept love, and may all our tomorrows be brighter because of it.

love D xx

Happy New Year!

2009-01-05T17:12:00.002Z

Hi Everyone,
Once again it's almost too hard to believe that another New Year is upon us all with it only seeming 5 minutes since that last one arrived.
I always reflect on many happenings at this time as many do and try to find ways of making life that little bit better for everyone and feel a huge sense of excitement for times to come.
During this year I am looking forward to going out to work in Gibraltar once again in April, Spain, Prague, and then Devon later in the year to name but a few places and of course any other opportunities that present themselves.
My residential seminar 'The Spirit Experience' at Coberhill, Nr Scarborough is almost upon us and this year we are hoping to make it even better than last and that was a great experience in itself. Those of you that joined in the fun and madness in 2008 and who are coming back with us, we have a fantastic programme organised for you with guest tutors Jean Blackabee and Jay love but we can't promise you your very own earthquake this year, sorry!!
My new years resoloution this year apart from to enjoy life to the max and worry less, is to try to keep on top of my blog on a more regular basis so do keep checking back.
None of us know what tommorrow will bring (even those of us that are psychic!)and I know from personal experience in 2008 that each day must be savoured as if it were the last one in the way that you know it with those that you love.
So dare to live your ultimate dreams in 2009, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like there is nobody watching...

Wishing you love, laughter, good health and complete peace for this New year..

love D xx

The Spirit Of Christmas 2008

2008-12-04T16:30:00.010Z

What a wonderful fundraising night we had last Friday 28th November at The Corn Exchange, Stamford.
Homelessness is something I feel very passionately about and is close to my heart. Stepping over people in sleeping bags and boxes on a cold December night 3 years ago after coming out of The Savoy Theatre really hit home to me how real this problem is.
I have been supporting homeless charities for a number of years but doing that from my own armchair did make the situation less apparent until I was standing in the middle of it. The two extremes of circumstance in those few yards I will never forget.
On this particular evening myself and two good friends and fellow Mediums Jay Love and Alan Carter gave a demonstration of mediumship and will post how much was raised by the sheer generosity of those who came (and those who could not attend but sent donations)when we have the final figures.
Big thanks to both Guys who travelled a long way to be with us and especially Al who stood in at the last moment when our other friend and Medium Keith Behan had to turn back due to poor weather.
Thanks for trying Keith, your support was so much appreciated.I know you were as disappointed as we were.
Next time you see a 'Big Issue' vendor in the street, make a beeline for them, dig deep and buy as many as you can afford then tuck it where other people can see that you've bought one/some and they'll want theirs too!! Please do all you can to bring something positive to those who need our support not just on the coldest nights of the year, but all year round xx

DVD release

2008-12-04T16:19:00.003Z

Well we finally made it and after months of hard work and planning, the DVD titled 'Donna Stewart..Honestly' is released on 10th December!! We are just so excited and very proud of this project and once again my huge and special thanks go to everyone who has been involved with this at every level, not forgetting the lovely David Skerry -Producer and Editor, Dave Stewart for the Artwork, and Frankie Hatton for coming over from Spain to do interviews. Guys, it has been fabulous working with such a great team and a very special journey for everyone.

Recent Events

2008-11-16T12:24:00.003Z

There are so many opportunities happening at the moment that I seem to live in a permanent state of excitement!
I have had a wonderful time guesting for my good friend Tony Stockwell on some of his theatre evenings recently with each experience being unique and different, and I look forward to more of these which will continue to be posted on my website as they are happening.
Those of you who know Tony or have seen his work will notice how people just seem to appreciate him which is testimony to his warmth of personality, generosity of spirit and being a generally good all round guy with his feet firmly on the ground.
Tony's audiences have been lovely to me, especially as I often 'pop up' as an unexpected guest when they have gone out for the evening to see the man himself. Thanks everyone and also to the girls for the pizza and also the substantial box of choccies you gave to me at The Broadway Theatre, Peterborough last night. That was just so nice and amazingly there are still a few left...
Can I just remind you all to hurry and buy your tickets for our fundraising event for the homeless on 28th November 'The Spirit of Christmas'check my diary page for further details.
I noticed a very moving quote recently..'If you have a pound in your pocket and some loose change in a jar you are in the top 80% of the worlds richest people...'

Tour of Devon!

2008-11-16T11:54:00.003Z

I have heard so much about the west country but have never had the pleasure before now so it was an absoloute treat to go and work at Paignton and surrounding Spiritualist Churches recently. For a week there were dems, 1-2-1's and a workshop on the Friday at Brixham which I loved because the students worked so hard and achieved some fantastic results as well as being lovely folk.
In fact they were all lovely folk in Devon and were so welcoming and generous, it was a very special time and I am excited to be asked back again in October 2009.
Thanks to Brian and Carol and family for hosting me (Brian is a superb cook - I thought I was in paradise!!)to linda for organising the entire week and for the girlie chats in the hot tub, and to everyone involved and who also supported my work during my stay...XXX

Demonstrations

2008-09-24T12:44:00.003+01:00

Last Tuesday 16th September I was warmly welcomed at Tinwell Village Hall for a demonstration of mediumship. I have been visiting this venue for some time now for Dems and there is always something special about the energy of the audience there which makes a great atmosphere for Spirit to communicate clearly. With a lot of laughter and a few watery eyes,
The Spirit World gave us all a very special evening. Thanks to everyone who came to support and to Alan and committee for looking after me so well. Looking forward to seeing you all again in Feb 2009!

The last few days have been fantastic as I had the great pleasure of supporting the lovely Tony Stockwell on some of his theatre evenings. To be so warmly recieved by the audiences who were not expecting a guest was lovely and we met some truly great folk.
From a village hall setting to larger theatres may seem a very different experience to some but it makes no difference to Spirit whatsoever. Where there is love and shared memories, Spirit will be there be it 10 people or 1000.
To all those who came to those venues it was lovely to see you all and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Autumn Update

2008-09-06T22:43:00.003+01:00

Hi Everyone
I am sure you must think I had left the planet because there has been no update for a while and my last post 'A Strange Light In The Sky' prompted some interest about a possible UFO sight in my garden! Sorry folks, I was referring to the sun..
Summer is always a time when everything comes to a natural still for me while people enjoy the sunshine (!) and focus on family time so this is when I create new opportunities for the coming season and beyond.
The DVD is almost completed now and we are all very excited about that so release dates will be available soon on the website.
It has been a fantastic project and an honour to work alongside such a professional but sensitive team so not long now to wait!
The diary dates are going up on the site over the next few days and I am very excited about being invited to guest with my good friend Mr Tony Stockwell on some of his theatre dates.
There will shortly also be dates for workshops and courses for Autumn/Winter and looking forward to meeting some of you again soon.
There are only a very small number of places left for 'The Spirit Experience 2009' at Coberhill, so if you are still thinking about it don't leave it too long!

On a final note, when the diary page is up PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out 'The Spirit Of Christmas' on 28th November at The Corn Exchange, Stamford. This is a vibrant and inspiring fundraising evening with myself plus special guests for 'CRISIS Open Christmas' to provide food, shelter, companionship and much needed facilities over the Christmas period for homeless people across London. SO...come spend your money, buy tickets for all your family and friends as an early Christmas pressie and help to give someone else a Christmas to remember.....

A strange light in the sky

2008-07-20T18:05:00.006+01:00

Hi Everyone,

Having had a very busy development week I promise that the diary page on the site will be updated shortly when we have everything in place for the coming months and weeks.

I am sure many of you witnessed a rare phenomena this evening which I am sure will shortly be featured on the news, newspapers and other media events.
About 5pm this evening a strange light appeared in the sky and I went ouside to gaze at it in wonder.
I am now going to go outside again with a glass of wine to celebrate before it dissapears and the rain begins to fall:)

Start the week as you mean to go on.. expect change, embrace challenge, and live the experience of it as if it were the last.

Love D xx

less is more

2008-07-13T22:30:00.003+01:00

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share something nice that happened this evening.
I drove down to Hertfordshire to take a Spiritualist Church Service. When I arrived the President and Chair appologised for the small congregation (approx 17)and clearly felt embarrased by the number in attendance.
As one of the few decent sunny evenings this side of last Christmas I could very well understand people making the best of day out.
I'm a great believer that those who are supposed to be at a dem or service find their way there and tonight was no exception.
The energy in the service was so intimate and special and Spirit inspired an address that, upon feedback was so relevant to those attending. The messages of love and support from Spirit were clear, evidential and healing and I was treated to some lovely refreshments afterwards including some fabulous homemade fresh cream and raspberry cake!
Tonight was a lovely and gentle reminder that mediumship is not a numbers game, it's about love and healing....
May those of us in service to Spirit, even if it's just making the tea for the church, remember our reason for doing so...

love D xx

At last an update!

2008-07-06T09:10:00.005+01:00

Hi All,
appologies to those of you who have been screaming at me for an update. It's been a bit manic so today I decided that before I do anything else, I'm going to do this!

Firstly, I have just had the honour of leading a wedding Blessing for two very special friends of mine, Margaret and Ken.
Those of you who have been students will remember Margaret who makes a lasting impression on everyone she meets simply because she is just an amazing person with so many qualities.
Margaret and Ken married 5 years ago at 5 days notice because Margaret was diagnosed with cancer and needed surgery. They have both been friends for 30 years and Ken had proposed many times to Margaret who finally agreed. It has taken all this time, a huge amount of love from family and friends and huge determination by Margaret to be well again, which is testimony to her strength and the love between she and Ken.
It was a beautiful day that I am sure no one who shared it will forget, and there was not a dry eye in the house! Bless you both, you deserve all the happiness you share x
This is development time for my work so new dates for workshops, groups and seminars will begin going up on the website soon so don't forget to keep checking back to the diary page.
Autumn is very exciting!
The new tour begins on September 4th at the Willows Arts Centre Corby and new dates will be added regularly. Corby is where I was born so it seemed a great place to start from. I also have guest appearences with my good friend Tony Stockwell on his theatre tour throughout the next few months which is a great priveledge, and of course the DVD will be released soon.
Theatres and Halls give fantastic opportunities to talk to people about Spirit who maybe don't go to Spiritualist Churches and Centres and I still love to serve these contrary to rumour:) so if you belong to a church and would like me to take a service or event, drop me a line!
Well that's all I have for now but promise to try to update as often as I can and in the meantime, many of my messages from Spirit are from loved ones who need to say sorry to someone, or that they love them and never said so in this life. If you need to say 'sorry' or 'I love you'to someone go and do it right now this minute. Don't wait until you have to find a medium to say it for you...

Third Eye Workshop Weekend -Witney

2008-06-12T10:45:00.002+01:00

Hi Everyone,
One of the great things about a weekend workshop is it gives students and myself the time to really get to know each other and often people become friends and stay in touch, which is just what happened at this one in Witney, Oxfordshire last weekend.
There was just a fantastic feeling of love and support between everyone with each student wanting others to achieve their goals and prepared to do whatever was needed to make that happen.
Some personal stuff was also overcome in a big way for several students and the tissue industry had a great boost this week!!
Chris, get up there and shine my man and Graham when in doubt think HONEYWELL!

Thank you guys for being so special and for a great weekend and to Debs and lizanne for inviting me.
On another note, places for Coberhill 2009 are flying out the door at the moment so if you're still thinking about it, get booking as places are limited!looking forward to seeing you all :)

update

2008-06-03T08:13:00.002+01:00

Well we think we've finished filming for the DVD and it's looking good. Editing has begun so it's well underway now.
A couple of weeks ago we filmed a workshop with some of my students who all did so well so thanks to all of you who took part and gave your time so that we could finish the footage!
On Friday 6th June I shall be a guest of the lovely Tony Stockwell at the Woodville Halls Theatre, Gravesend. This is the start of several appearances with Tony to promote my own tour later in 2008/2009 so it's all exciting stuff.
Having worked with Tony many times before he is great fun as I'm sure fans of his will already know so really looking forward to it.
Hoping you all have a great week, you never know, we might even get some summer!

DVD update

2008-05-17T13:27:00.007+01:00

Hi Everyone,

Thursday at the South Holland Centre was a really great experience. The film crew arrived at around 3 to set up and we spent the rest of the day filming interviews, backstage footage and then the dem in the evening which was great. The energy was really buzzing, all helped along with copious amounts of tea and a substantial pizza delivery!

I love production anyway and was amazed by how much equiptment and organisation is needed to bring it all together, so thanks to cameraman David and the boys for a great job.

The only glitch was realising that we had left behind the CD of our intro music 'Do it For Love' which is so important to the start of the show so huge thanks to Dave for battling rush hour traffic and going off to get it in between being an ace photographer on the day!
Techies Bev and Dan really went the extra mile to make the stage look fantastic and a big shout for our interviewer Frankie Hatton for a sterling job all round and keeping everyone amused with his huge personality.
There really are too many to mention but sincere thanks and gratitude to everyone who gave their support, not to mention The South Holland Centre for giving kind permision to film at the venue.
If you were in the Audience on the night, big thanks for really getting on board with the whole event and making it a very special night for everyone, and especially to those of you who have given kind permission to be included to share your experience. The feedback has been fantastic.

Finally, to my dear friends in Spirit who I know without doubt have been the initiative behind this great experience, because of the incredible synchronisity in it all coming together in the way that it did.
Thank you guys, and to those of you who came to talk to your loved ones in the audience at the dem, We hope you like the end result:)

We haven't much more to film before the task of editing begins so we'll keep you all posted!

A New Team

2008-05-07T11:08:00.003+01:00

As most of you know, I have a habit of burning the candle at both ends and it takes a few days at least for me to reply to your e-mails so please give a big shout for Nikki and Lucy who have just come on board in the office to share some of the much welcomed e-mails from you all.
Sometimes a reply might be from the girls, especially enquiries about tour dates, workshops and groups but I promise you I personally see every e-mail that you send and will reply where and when I can.
So many great opportunities are happening just now to share the work of Spirit and the comfort and healing they bring to those who have lost someone they love and that will always be my first priority and focus - oh and by the way, yes I'm still serving Spiritualist Churches for divine services for travelling expenses only!

Keep the e-mails coming, we love to hear from you:)

Filming at The South Holland Centre - May 15th

2008-05-07T11:00:00.003+01:00

Hi Everyone,
I think this week has been one of the craziest to date as we have made the decicion to film some of the show at The South Holland Centre on 15th May as footage for the new DVD. Pulling it all together has been a huge but fun mission including flying our interviewer, Frankie from Gibraltar at short notice and organising film crew etc but we're nearly there.
So if you're coming to the show, don't forget to smile for the camera but don't worry, If you have a message on the night, we wont use any footage without asking first!

looking forward to seeing you and don't forget to come and say 'Hi' afterwards.

2008-05-01T17:11:00.001+01:00

Of course Frank, she goes with me everywhere! I'm sure she'll even wear her pink feather boa lol...

Workshop'Spring Clean Your Mediumship' 27/04/08

2008-04-27T21:10:00.002+01:00

What a perfect sunny Sunday for this workshop today which was to do just what the title says 'Spring Clean Your Mediumship'
One of my personal joys as a tutor is to guide students through the many stages of their development and to share every achievement and goal. There is little that I feel is more rewarding than to facilitate the changes and progress that mediumship requires and it's always a priveledge to see students accomplish their hopes and overcome challenges.

The dedication of the students in this workshop was just great as we worked together through their individual needs with some fantastic results - well done guys, you were all amazing:)

Theatre Dem in Solihull - 25/04/08

2008-04-27T21:00:00.002+01:00

One of the great things about doing any kind of work in the West Midlands is that people are so friendly and easy to work with, so being at the Dovehouse Theatre, Solihul on friday night was
a total pleasure. I love this theatre because it's intimate enough for the audience to feel that they are all a part of the evening, and for me to really feel connected to them which is always special:)
As always in that part of the world messages were well recieved and loads of laughter and support for each other when the spirit people were communicating and some lovely feedback which is always appreciated because I am only human after all!
Big thanks to techie Craig who makes it all look so easy and is a really nice guy:)

looking forward to going back next year..

Visit to Gibraltar April 2008

2008-04-27T20:08:00.005+01:00

This was an experience I will never forget and what a great week! I've been out to Gibralter to work several times now and just love it because there is such a need for mediumship which is still a very sensitive issue out there. The people are so warm and friendly and always give me a huge welcome.

Organised by Lourdes Warwick and Andrew Ferrer I gave loads of 1-2-1's, a dem evening at the Caleta Palace and then spent a day filming a documentary style programme about my work with multi- talented broadcaster and presenter Frankie Hatton for GBC which will be aired later in the year.

After an initial studio interview we spent a few hours filming in the tunnels sensing historical info and had some great results so I hope the viewers enjoy watching it as much as I did filming!

I can't wait to go back in April 2009......

The Spirit Experience Seminar - Coberhill 2008

2008-04-27T19:17:00.006+01:00

Ok, here we go - first post!

My first organised 4 night seminar was at The Coberhill Conference Centre near Scarborough from 25th - 29th February this year and we had a fantastic time:) Tutors were Janette Marshall, Shonagh Moore and myself of course all brought together by the guiding hand of Alexa, our course organiser who was a total star!
What a great gathering of lovely people. We ran groups, workshops, demonstrations,had a great night with physical phenomena and we even gave the students their very own earthquake! (well we dd promise them a week to remember..)
It was just brilliant to see students achieving so much in their development and really reaching their hopes and goals.The excellent student demonstration on Wednesday night gave testament to their hard work and abilities and I felt very proud to have been a part of that experience and I know Janette, Shonagh and Alexa were too.
Thursday night was an event as tutors gave the students a treat (or a fright depending on your disposition..) with a fun night with Sketches from TV shows including 'Horronation Street' and 'The Vicar of Cober' You can see yours truly as Alice with Shonagh as Geraldine and can you spot the Derek Accorah stand in?
The really great thing is that so many of the students have now become friends and have a community of their own and keep in touch. The next seminar in Feb 2009 will be advertised shortly so keep watching...

Welcome to my new blog

2008-04-11T01:02:00.002+01:00

Hi everyone, well here it is at last and I hope this all works as I'm quite new to this blogging.
The idea is to be able to keep you all up to date with what's happening as the next 12 months are going to be quite a journey,and you can also feedback on shows,demonstrations and workshops etc. I'll try to update as often as I can - hopefully at least twice a week and if I don't you'll know I'm burning the candle at both ends!

looking forward too keeping in touch and meeting friends old and new.

love Donna x
