Crystal Awareness

This weekend provides an excellent practical grounding in the
many ways of interacting with crystals, minerals and gemstones for the
benefit of your self, others and the environment. You will learn
practical skills, techniques and underlying principles, which will
allow you to continue your own journey of exploration and learning long
after this weekend is over.

Bronze Dragon training is practical, experiential and does not require acceptance of any particular belief system. While we may discuss ideas, theories and background to crystal healing and energy work, the emphasis is on practical, provable methods and techniques. This weekend forms the necessary foundation to continue to Crystal & Gem Therapy practitioner training if you wish.

world of crystals and healing. Definitely recommended to anyone with or
without previous knowledge or understanding of crystals.”

Shehzad Javed, Psychiatrist, Scotland

“Very well presented and tailored to requirements of
our group, with adjustments to the interests expressed by us
throughout. A big breakthrough for me personally to actually see auras
in colour!!

It has stimulated the desire to learn and understand more about energy and its uses and not just through crystals.”

Chris Southern

“Very good content and easy to learn and to follow.”

Bilal Jairi, Bradford

“Gives me more insight into healing, also helps with
tuition for others. Puts things into perspective as to the
simplification of crystal healing. It need not be the complicated
therapy it may seem.”

This course was the first time I had ever
worked with crystals having only admired their beauty before. I
thoroughly enjoyed Susanna’s presentation finding them easy to
understand, fun and informative. The course gave me confidence to use
the crystals in everyday life and receive even more enjoyment from
them. I would recommend this course for anyone who has any interest in
crystals and I look forward to attending the next Crystal Healing
programme.

demonstrations of how crystals can be influential in the environment

further exploration!
