Spiritual Sundays and Mind, Body & Spirit Events

Imagine a place where you change the moment you walk through the door. Instead of checking in your coat, you hang up your troubles and let go of everyday concerns. A place to learn how to live. A place to find yourself. It’s a special place for ordinary people.

This former Franciscan church and friary has been deconsecrated but its sacred atmosphere still remains. The peaceful healing energy and the beauty of this space now welcomes everyone from all backgrounds, faiths and beliefs.

Visitors remark that every space in The Monastery appears to be blessed with a feeling of well-being. It’s so real, you think you can touch it.

Similarly, every event and every programme of participation and learning adopts the same high principles of well-being. Whoever you are, whatever you do, we extend a warm invitation to find yourself at the Monastery soon.

A Warm Embrace of the Divine with Alison Knox and EVeRYDaY ANGeLS


Each session is inspired by a divination card, drawn by me on New Years Day from the Doreen Virue “Healing with the Angels” deck.  Each month is attributed to a card, and I find the meaning of the words and images are revealed as the year unfolds. It is a truly inspiring process and one I love to share with others, as it offers gentle but direct guidance, as only the angels know how!

All are welcome, in love, light, healing and angelic blessings (with plenty of twinkle!)

Each session will last approx 90 mins.

The Teachings of the Nephalim: 2012 and Beyond with author Theolyn Cortens


This ground-breaking book from international angel author and teacher Theolyn Cortens introduces a powerful groups of discarnate beings who offer wisdom and practical support for spiritual seekers looking to accelerate their spiritual development.

Although some old texts describe the Nephalim as the offspring of rebellious ‘fallen’ angels, Theolyn argues that the old myth should be ignored as negative propaganda, because the Nephalim were ‘the great ones of old’ and the messages she has received demonstrate their benevolence and great wisdom.

In The Teachings of the Nephalim Theolyn not only shares the beautiful messages she received from twelve Nephalim - six men and six women – she also encourages the reader to follow a series of practical exercises that will help open doors of perception, allowing anyone to kythe with the Nephalim and access their wisdom.

Working with the Earth with Nicola Percival

Reconnecting with the earth as a way of helping us on our spiritual journey. 

The beauty of our world is sacred and we are here to help return it to its original, perfect condition. During this workshop we will be building on one of the themes we touched on in January - understanding the past and the present to help create the future. We will explore the relationship we have had with the earth in the past, and how we have got to the present day reality. From here we can understand the importance of building new alternative sustainable systems which work with mother earth rather than against her. When you go down this path, rather than feeling a loss, you will find that She will reward you deeply. Together we really can help co-create a beautiful new future, and be that future, today

Dru Yoga For Everyone at the Monastery


We are delighted to be working with Manchester Yoga Social Enterprise Society and their qualified yoga teachers to offer this weekly class to all of our visitors.

Dru yoga is a way of moving which is based on soft, flowing movements, controlled breathing and visualisation. It is both a graceful form of exercise and a potent means of stress relief. With its foundations firmly set in ancient yogic tradition, Dru is a style that has been passed down through the generations. It works on both the body and the mind, rejuvenating the soul, strengthening core stability and building a heightened sense feeling of positivity and empowerment.
