Our lovely Nerina chaired for Lorraine Francois and Alan Salmon last night in Chawton. What a beautiful evening we had. Thank you!
We welcome Valentine’s week, not necessarily the unceasing rain, but there is much afoot in the world of love. All life in our wet woodlands is gearing up, and amongst them, the rabbits of our countryside are well into their breeding season.
There is only one rabbit species in England, the European rabbit, introduced into England by the Romans in 43 AD, and most probably kept as pets or food. This population was thought to have died out as they were kept enclosed and unlikely to survive in the wild. The Normans then introduced them for meat and fur, but it was in the fourteenth century that rabbits managed to escape and go AWOL. Rabbits, being rabbits, quickly increased in numbers and formed colonies.
Rabbit numbers have declined in the UK, and rabbits are not a protected animal, although certain cruelty laws still apply. Their symbolism is luck, no surprises there, and also fertility. They are associated with the feminine and also the moon. and represent the transition from winter to spring, and renewal
Last night, many braved the rain again to come to our little church with a big heart in Chawton. We were delighted to welcome Lorraine Francois and Alan Salmon as our guests. What a lovely evening of inspired thoughts by Alan, and messages brought by them both. Thank you so much. It was a lovely night. Our own special Nerina chaired the evening. Thank you, Nerina!!
We thank Lisa for running our music. We thank the readers, the hospitality, Carole, and Sue. We thank our diligent healers and trainees, and also those who help with the set-up and break-down. Everyone makes it light work.
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Please add to your prayers all those who are dealing with cancer.
Thank you.
Calendar up later
Have a lovely Valentine’s week!
Love is in the air!
The latest blog Content from Rob Harvey
In his recent posts, Rob Harvey explores profound experiences that occur when a soul leaves the physical body and how spiritual confusion can be resolved through understanding and love.
In “What Can Happen When You Die Suddenly,” Rob reflects on a case where a young man passed unexpectedly and remained in distress, unable to accept his death. Drawing on his work as a medium, Rob describes how the spirit initially wandered, aware of loved ones but unseen and unheard by them. Through calm interaction and the presence of familiar figures — including a dog and child — the young soul gradually found peace and acceptance. Rob emphasises that every soul has free will, and that compassionate connection can ease the transition and reduce fear after death.

In “When a Confused Soul Learns to Let Go,” he tells the story of a woman weighed down by the presence of her late husband. Many years after his passing, the husband’s spirit remained close, driven by confusion and an intention to help, yet causing emotional distress. Rob explains that when a soul truly understands its situation and consciously chooses to move forward, guides or spiritual helpers can assist in the transition. In this case, once the soul accepted help and let go, peace returned to the woman and her family, illustrating that healing can occur on both sides of the divide.

Together, these accounts underscore Harvey’s core belief: there is life after death, and love — coupled with understanding — is the key to easing transition and promoting healing for both the living and the departed.
Yesterday we had a gift of sunshine. What a glorious day. We are reminded that the rain will end. We gathered as usual on Zoom and enjoyed a lovely evening. The prayers and readings just seemed to weave together, and the music was beautiful. Thank you, everyone, and thank you, Steve, for leading us this week. Healing followed right after the service.
Please continue to pray for the homeless, especially in bad weather. May they find resources and joy, and many hands to help them!
Lorraine Francois and Alan Salmon are with us on Sunday in Chawton. Join us !!

We had a lovely evening. Thank you!
Rain, rain, go away, come back another day! Happy February, everyone! It’s encouraging to see signs that spring is on the way. This little fella, a Palmate newt, is making his journey to a moorland pond to begin the breeding season.
He’s often confused with the Smooth newt, but there are a few differences to look out for: notably the fine filament at the tip of his tail and his webbed back feet. He feeds on worms, slugs, and insect larvae, but he also has to watch out for his own predators. Foxes, badgers, and even grass snakes might all see him as a tasty snack.
This amazing little fella can regrow a limb if need be, and move effortlessly between land and water. His spiritual symbolism is one of transformation, resilience, and gentle magic.
Despite yet another downpour, many braved the weather to make it to Chawton last night. The evening was led by our President, Rob Harvey, and chaired by the ever-humorous Steve Lidgett Williams, whilst Rob offered insight into clairvoyance, explaining both its challenges and how it works from both sides.
Rob brought some messages, after which the Fledglings, supported by the more experienced, took to the floor. Quite a number of messages were delivered, with the newer mediums explaining how they were perceiving the information. It was an evening enjoyed by all.
We also enjoyed beautiful readings and prayers, along with some lovely hymns, followed of course by cake and healing. Our thanks go to the readers and to Carole and Chris for their hospitality and to Julie for our music. We are so glad for the many who make light work of set up and break down as well as wash up.
We are also very grateful to the healers and delighted to see our newer healers training alongside those more experienced. I suspect quite a few people went home to enjoy a very good night’s sleep!
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
How can we not think of the homeless with this endless rain and cold snaps of weather? Please pray for them that resources are coming quickly. May they be seen and included within our communities. We must extend compassion in all possible ways.
Calendar up next.
Have a beautiful week. It is sunny above the clouds!
