The Importance of Dream Awareness in the Healing Process
A talk by David Roden

Clinical Hypnotherapist - Coach - Mentor
• How to introduce dreams to the healing process
• Carl Jung’s approach to dream awareness
• Different types of dreams
• Recording and interpreting your own Dreams
As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I have spent more than thirty years collecting and recording a personal archive of dreams, developing a deep practice of dream observation and interpretation. My work explores dreams not simply as nighttime imagery, but as meaningful psychological and symbolic communications that can reveal insights about personal growth, emotional balance, and life direction.
Alongside my work with dreams, I am an astrologer, a lifelong student of the I Ching (Book of Changes), and a seasoned meditator. These traditions inform my approach to understanding the symbolic language of the unconscious and have helped guide individuals in interpreting the deeper messages within their dreams.
I am currently developing an adult sleep and narrative podcast designed for people who have problems with sleep. These recordings draw from my dream archive and are crafted to create a reflective, immersive listening experience that encourages rest and recovery
My work includes career transition coaching, leadership development, and change management. I provide tailored coaching and mentoring services—ranging from executive coaching and work–life balance guidance to international mentoring programmes. I work with clients to navigate transitions, integrate personal insights, and achieve meaningful growth.

Julia Whittington
Invisible Threads of Belonging – an Embodied Approach to Healing through Family Constellations
As an Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapist, Julia offers an holistic and relational approach to therapy, drawing on a range of modalities to support individuals, couples, and families in their journey of self-discovery and growth. An explanation and demonstration of Healing through Family Constellations enabled us to learn how we can be empowered to understand ourselves within the context of our relationships, families, and histories, uncovering the patterns and unconscious dynamics that hold us back and to supporting us in finding insight, meaning, and connection.
Evelyn Brodie
Shamanic healing from the Andean lineage and the use of Spirit in the work.
In the 21st Century, there have been enormous advances in medicine and science and the study of consciousness. Idealism, the concept that Consciousness is fundamental, a concept that was abolished to the realms of metaphysics for centuries, is now firmly back on the scientific agenda. The perennial philosophy is alive and thriving! Evelyn demonstrated her purpose as being a bridge between the world of modern science/medicine and the ancient healing practices of the indigenous peoples around the world. What they knew and the healing they have offered for centuries is not hippy, new age, bull... it is being rediscovered at the cutting edge of neuroscience and post quantum physics. In that process Evelyn hopes not to engage in cultural misappropriation. She is a shamanic practitioner, not a shaman.
Oliver Dolby
Etheric Trauma Release Method: Unresolved Trauma's Impact on the Energy Body and Physical Health
Oliver Dolby, known as The Soul Doctor, is an energy healer, teacher and facilitator with over 25 years’ experience working with trauma, emotional regulation and the subtle anatomy. He specialises in Etheric Trauma Release Method (ETRM), a clinical approach examining how shock, stress, and unresolved emotions imprint the etheric body and nervous system, often resulting in persistent physical and psychological symptoms.
In this talk, Oliver explored how trauma is held beyond the mind, becoming embedded in the energy field that underpins the physical body. Drawing on clinical observations from hundreds of one-to-one sessions, he outlined how disturbances in the etheric body can influence muscular tension, chronic pain patterns, fatigue, anxiety and stress-related conditions. He also gave us insight as to why addressing trauma solely at a cognitive or emotional level may be insufficient for full resolution.

Noncontact Spiritual Healing: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Talk by Prof. Chris Roe
Rudolph Steiner House
35 Park Rd, London NW1 6XT
There is a growing interest in complementary and alternative approaches to fostering health and wellbeing. These often draw on holistic, psycho-socio-spiritual models of health. Evidence from clinical trials suggests that some of these healing approaches can be effective, and there is growing interest in biofield understandings of wellness. However, this work does not yet reflect the central role of healing in Spiritualism; indeed, it tends to give a distorted view of what Spiritualism entails. Much of the work conducted to date is qualitative and observational, and there have been only a small number of formal experiments. The project described in this presentation addressed this omission, involving as it does s a randomised controlled trial that tests for non-contact healing effects.

Animal Healing and Holistic Wellbeing for Animals in our care and Captive Wild Animals in Rehabilitation
With Elizabeth Whiter
Top Floor Conference Room
Rudolph Steiner House
35 Park Rd, London NW1 6XT
In this in-depth talk, Elizabeth shared with us the many ways we can give and receive healing with animals, from our beloved cats, dogs and horses to animals in the wild. With video and photo footage, Liz guided us through her extensive toolkit, how energy healing, animal communication, nutrition and Zoopharmacognosy are the foundation to her busy international practice as an animal healer. In her volunteering role with respected animal charities, working side by side with vets and animal specialists championing holistic health for animals for over twenty years, we learnt how big cats, primate troops and orangutans self-select plant material to self-medicate themselves and how sensory healing and environmental enrichments are important for animals in our care and endangered captive species to enhance wellbeing.
A special meeting to honour and celebrate the life of our dear friend, healer and past membership secretary Steve Sharpe.
