Connecting to the ‘Other Side’ is a very powerful type of Healing. Communicating with Souls who have passed over is by far the most rewarding gift anyone can receive and proves that love is eternal. Join us in this special celebration and wonderful night of healing, delivering overheads and psychic messages! Let us give you psychic messages on what YOU need to know. Not everyone will get a message or a reading, but we do have a question and answer time at the end of the night. A 10 minute healing with crystal bowls will follow. Certain sound vibrations help to ‘re-tune’ us to our own natural and healing vibrations by dissolving energetic blockages. This allows us to return to a state of grace and balance. This is an amazing experience not to miss out on!

Anna Mary Wheeler

Anna Art Goat

An exhibition of paintings
Official function Saturday 31st January, 5pm
This current body of work emanates from the energy of painting in two studios. One in her Central Coast studio and the other is her most recent new art studio in Surry Hills. This bigger space has allowed for some larger paintings of bold, brightly coloured abstract/figurative paintings. Anna has been further experimenting with her drip painting world. She has delved into her unconscious in these works. Colour has played a major role once again in these new works. Fluoro paints play an esssntial role on her themed pallete. So take a ride into Anna’s world of colour and sensuality on the canvas! Anna says “I want these paintings to make you feel like you’ve never felt before. Let the colour touch your eyes and caress your senses. Feel positive and vibrant with this body of new paintings of energy and vitality…” Anna is in private collections all over the world.
