DEVELOPMENT & SUPPORT GROUPS
  Derby |  Halifax  |  Leeds |  Matlock |  Newark | Nottingham  | Walsall

(Followed by the Probationer Myths?)

These groups below are generally run by, but not always, by full healers who feel they can share their time to aid all probationers and fellow healers with their spiritual and healer growth and development supporting all alike. It is a place where you can gain and share understandings and experiences on healing matters in a safe environment while learning new things and sharing in a loving spiritual way.

DERBY with Jean Ross
An informal evening for probationer healers of the NFSH held on the second Wednesday of the month: October, November, January-June inclusive. Cost £1. Format for the evening: general comments and queries regarding healing, followed by meditation and practicing the healing act.

The meeting takes place at The Hollies, 95 Main Road, Smalley, which is about 6 miles north of Derby (A608), about 4 miles south of Heanor, 4 miles west of Ilkeston. Contact: Jean 01332 781319.

HALIFAX Healing Group with Linda Whitehead
Halifax Healing Group meets on the third Wednesday in each month 8pm – 10pm at my house. Probationers, full-healers and anyone wishing to know more about the NFSH and spiritual healing are welcome to come along. During the first hour we usually have discussions and meditations, then in the second hour we exchange healing (one to one), and send distant healing.

Anyone wishing to come along, please ring Linda Whitehead on 01422 348351 (weekends or after 6pm) or 07971 212856 for directions.

HEALER/PROBATIONER MEETINGS IN LEEDS

All NFSH Healers, Probationer Healers and like minded people are cordially invited to attend these Saturday morning meetings at Centenary House, North Street, Leeds. Indeed it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that probationers should attend as many as they can as part of their training as it is important to meet other local probationers and healers. Also there is now a valuable opportunity to practice healing after the talk, under supervision - an opportunity many probationers find unavailable else where, as the main problem for probationers seems to be lack of healing opportunities. So probationers - do come! Some of the people you meet may be willing to act as your sponsors, or put you in touch with likely contacts if you allow them the opportunity of getting to know you by attending events whenever you can!

You will be able to find Centenary House easily on foot from Leeds City centre, by walking up Briggate towards the Headrow, and then continuing on past the old Allders building on the left and the Grand Theatre on the right. Over the inner ring road and you will see Centenary House on the left. On Saturdays only you will be able to park in front of the building, but we may be asked to move once the meeting is ended if there are other activities at the centre in the afternoon.

All meetings start at 10.30am. with tea, coffee and biscuits served from 10 am. This is another excellent opportunity to meet fellow healers and probationers and like minded people. The talk usually finishes about 12.15 or maybe a little later, and we can usually stay until 1pm to chat or do healing.

MATLOCK with Lesley Sumner
Development Groups - I run a Healing and Meditation Group every Tuesday evening, excluding School Holidays, at Tawney House, Matlock Green, Matlock.

There is time for a drink and a chat in the Canteen until 21:30 hours when the establishment closes. The Group is open to anyone who wishes to come.

For all enquiries please phone 01332 840332 or Email. Thank you.

NEWARK with Joanna Driver
I endeavour to run a supporting, development type group in a loving environment where all feel free to share and learn. We meet every 1st Thursday of the month at 7.30pm and finish at approximately 9.30 - 10.00pm latest. I do make a charge of £2.50p.
We start with an informal time having a drink and catch up on events and what's been happening in the region. Anyone with any probationer queries has time to ask questions or express any concerns they may have. The evening then continues with a meditation or visualisation at this point giving us all time to unwind and get ready to work etc.
On most nights I have information on a syllabus based subject, prepared earlier, which we study and learn a bit more about. We then move onto giving each other healing: one to one, (couch or chair) and at times we undertake group work including distant and earth healing. We close the evening with grounding, closing to normal functional levels and the protection of our, now cleaner, energy systems.
The group is open to all probationer and full healer members and anyone else who is interested in learning about healing and those who would like to learn more about NFSH methods.

SOME MYTHS WHICH PROBATIONERS MAY HAVE COME UP AGAINST

PROBATIONER GROUP MYTH
(Myth -only a full healer can run one!)
The truth. - It is recommended that a full healer should be present, just so that there is some point of reference for the probationers to receive answers to any questions that may come up. However, it is perfectly acceptable to have a full healer available at the end of a telephone, which might be one of the sponsors. In other words, working with the spirit of what was intended and using a common sense approach, it really isn't necessary to have a full healer in attendance all the time if the group leader is a responsible person and can be relied on to get in touch if problems arise.

WORKING ON A STAND MYTH
(Myth -It is an essential requirement for a probationer to have worked on a stand)
The truth. Probationers are definitely not required to have worked on a stand! Recommended yes, as of course it adds to their experience, but essential - no.

RECTANGULAR BADGES MYTH
(Myth - only a full healer can wear one)
The truth. These are for everyone who is a member, not just for healers. Ordering info. From Central Office or ask Carl. So yes, probationers can have them too.

SPONSORING PROBATIONERS MYTH
(Myth -you have to have been a full healer for two years before being able to sponsor)
The truth. This has recently changed. There is no requirement to have been a full healer for two year any more. So newer healers may sponsor.

"As responsible healers please let us make sure that we give probationers correct guidance in future as far as we can!"
