Steve and Sally Sprout: Sprouting for Health
Forget expensive superfoods shipped thousands of miles and learn the best way to grow sprouts in your kitchen; we are talking food inches not food miles. Sprouted beans and seeds are some of the most densely nutritious foods on the planet while wheat grass is being studied by scientists keen to find out about its remarkable healing properties. This workshop covers how to grow seeds, beans and wheatgrass simply at home, what equipment you need, harvesting, troubleshooting. Sally and Steve have been using sprouted bean, seeds and grasses to promote health and well-being for five years and have become so enthused that they now grow them for two local cafes as well as giving talks at festivals all over the South of England. They both come from an entertainment background so they give a lively talk based on their extensive experience of this subject backed up by their general interest in food, nutrition and healing and a few jokes along the way: sallyholloway@boltblue.com

Free Rob: Raw Hemp Nutrition
The flowers of the Hemp plant are quite possibly the most nutritionally balanced food source within the plant kingdom. Hemp seeds are an excellent source of: Essential Fatty Acids and are a complete protein containing all eight essential Amino acids, minerals, vitamins and trace elements. Hemp leaves and flowers are very high in minerals and highly alkanising. Rob campaigned to legalise Hemp following the death of his mother, when he realised her condition could have been helped by it: see article. His shop in Glastonbury sells a wide variety of hemp products: www.hempinavalon.com
5pm
Hugh Newman: The Psychic Children
Hugh will be exploring the 'Indigo Child' phenomenon, the health issues associated with it and the global shift in consciousness, as outlined in his new book The Psychic Children: Dolphins, DNA & the Planetary Grid. Many children are diagnosed with ADD & ADHD and prescribed Ritalin & other psycho-stimulants that can have devastating long-term effects on health. Combined with the deficient state of the food supply and government induced supplement directives, our children's health is becoming a major concern for many parents and researchers: www.psychicchildren.co.uk

Wai Tsang: Everyone is God: 2012 and the New Age of Light
This talk is about the central idea in Gnosticism, Sufism, Tantra, also Kabbalah; and the hidden truth behind all world religion, i.e. the notion that a person's real identity is ultimately GOD. We'll also show how this divine truth when combined with an understanding of the prophecies including the predictions of 2012; is the key to personal enlightenment and the creation of a better world: www.iawwai.com
