MEDITATION TEACHER & SPIRITUAL MENTOR
HOLISTIC BUSINESS COACH
Join us for an evening circle of breathwork and mediumship! (2 dates to choose from)
​
Breathwork & mediumship are two powerful tools that can provide deep release, healing, clarity, insight and shifts within.
During this circle we'll first do a 40-minute session of breathwork (introduction & instruction provided for beginners), followed by a 45-min group mediumship session. Journaling & reflection time will also be included.
​
What is breathwork?
Breathwork is a practice of consciously working with your breathing pattern, lying down, to music. The rhythmic breathing in breathwork helps put the mind into different meditative states.
​
What can this do?
​
Putting our mind into meditative states allows us to experience our thoughts, emotions, and situations in life in a different way compared to the analytical/thinking mind. It's also a space for going inwards and connecting with your inner truths and your heart's needs & desires.
​
Breathwork can help with:
​
-
Insights and understanding of different situations in your life
-
Healing of the mind and body
-
Deep sense of peace and bliss
-
New creative ideas
-
Deep connection towards oneself
-
Ideas of life direction/next steps
-
Release of emotions that might be limiting you and keeping you stuck
-
Calming of the nervous system
-
Greater awareness of patterns of the mind
-
Boosting of mood
-
Boosting of self-esteem, confidence & feelings of empowerment
​
What is a group mediumship session?
​
Laurie Oakes is a gifted medium who channels messages from the Divine that assist you on your life path. During a group channeling session, Laurie works around the room and channels a message for each person. Often these messages provide guidance, clarity and direction on different areas in your life and guidance is often provided on ways to work through and approach different challenges. You can also ask Laurie for guidance on a certain area of life.
​
These evening circles will be intentional time for participant's to come back to SELF. Tuning into your truths, your needs and taking time for reflection, relaxation and connection with others <3
​
We hope to see you there!

Laurie Oakes
MEDIUM, SPIRITUAL TEACHER & INTUITIVE COACH
Spirituality and mediumship have been interests and passions of Laurie's from a very young age. She can recall receiving messages and images and pondering her soul’s purpose and path in this life from a young age, seeking to find the answers to her questions about the meaning of life outside of this experience in a physical body.
​
Her interest in spirituality grew and she then met her mentor and good friend, Dagmar Butler. Through her time and dedication, Dagmar guided Laurie step by step in learning mediumship, channeling and spiritual teachings. She shared with Laurie God’s teachings and helped her to understand what it means to live a more positive and happy life. With Dagmar's help, Laurie learned how to communicate, channel God, and trust in following His Guidance.
​
In 2020, Laurie was honoured with the opportunity to work in the Dagmar Butler School for Spirituality as a channel for two years.
​
Laurie's soul’s purpose is to work as a medium and help to lift others, as she was. She is honoured to hear and receive God’s guidance in all areas of her life. She has experienced and learned that when you walk with Him, you walk on solid ground.
