Newsletter
November 2008
Hi everyone
My previous newsletter spoke of the increasing need to engage with life openly, and many of you responded with confirmation that this is indeed what your lives are encouraging from you at the moment – either by removing what you previously thought you needed, or offering up surprising new directions or challenging every presumption and prejudice that you are still carrying. My own opening this month has been in the form of powerful breathwork, which showed up and released some very deeply buried pain as well as to a whole new, astounding face of God. Watch this space for more news on that.
Below are the details of my final events for 2008 in Jo’burg, Cape Town and White River. I invite you to join us for one of the group readings in these areas – the last ones of the year are usually excellent overviews of what we have been through and what is likely to come.
I’m very struck at the moment by the thought of Christmas and what that means in this day and age. While I welcome the opportunity to celebrate, to love, to feast and to give, I’m increasingly uncomfortable with the obligatory tone that sometimes underlies these acts, and the ensuing poor results that come from giving out of guilt or obligation – especially debt. For years now I have used an exercise with my spiritual growth clubs to engage with the real spirit of giving – and the results are always moving and fun. Below I share this exercise with all of you to open up a new possibility for Christmas giving.
Welcome to all the new subscribers!
Much love
Angela

Personal Readings
There are just a handful of available appointments before the end of the year. Contact Garrick on +2784 460 8667 via email.
Group Reading
Group readings are affordable, un-intimidating and great for newcomers to channelling. They tend to bring out brand new information and will focus on what is relevant to that particular group, and humanity in general, at the time. Everyone who attends also gets the opportunity to raise their own question and we end the afternoon with a chat and some sharing about what the reading has opened up. The dates of the final group readings for 2008 are indicated below. These promise to give some insight on the year before and the year ahead and are usually particularly powerful. Please book with Garrick for any of these. Entrance is R100.00 per person.

Public Talk
Discovering Your Life Purpose
As a channel, one of the most frequently asked questions by my clients is ‘what am I supposed to be doing?’ All of us intuit a sense of purpose to our lives, but what does that mean and how are we supposed to find it? In this interactive seminar, I will share some understandings about Life Purpose that have emerged from responses to these questions.
We’ll explore topics such as:
Is there such a thing as a pre-determined Life Purpose?
If so, how do I know what that is?
Should I leave my comfortable job and follow my dreams?
What will it feel like when I’m ‘on purpose’?
I will also share a practical, and profound, way to explore what your highest path is using the analogy of unwrapping the three layers of a gift: the sticky tape (Life’s Disappointment), the wrapping paper (Life’s Packaging) and the tissue paper (Imagination). This analogy was given in a reading and remains, for me, one of the most powerful ways to uncover your own sweet spot.
Join me for an interactive talk with lots of opportunity for questions, insights and fun!

Accessing Your Inner Wisdom Workshop
If you have ever wondered how to read the signs in your life, how to make sense of patterns that you see and how to get in touch with your own internal guidance system, then this is a brilliant one-day workshop for you.
Accessing Your Inner Wisdom will incorporate the techniques from my previous channelling workshop, and I have added two completely new sections (Body Wisdom and Everyday Wisdom) that are based on what I learnt from the readings last year on this subject. The knowledge is brand-new, the exercises are fun and you’ll have the chance to investigate a real-life question that you want some insight on. I keep the numbers small, so please contact Garrick soon to book or for more information.

EMBODY
A workshop for those whose hearts are big enough to fall in love with their bodies.
Some of the feedback from the participants of Embody I on 17 – 19 October 2008:
Being a participant on Embody at Boondocks was a profound experience. On the workshop I experienced how my body is a precise compass for my own joy. If we are prepared to listen and respond when our body communicates what it wants and what it does not want, we are certain to live the life that is most satisfying to us. Every ounce of unexpressed pain, rejection, anger and love along with all the other emotions we experience are cumulatively stored in our bodies until we are ready to deal with them. On Embody I learned to communicate, touch and listen to my body in a brand new way. Thank you Ang for your deep wisdom and your relentless passion for personal growth. The sense of freedom and confidence that everybody left Boondocks with is something I will never forget. I love my body and especially my Belly!
After a wonderful sleep last night, today is a brand new start. I find my awareness of my body, which I now fully appreciate as the home of my-self, is functional after having been asleep for so very long. Thank you, thank you for providing Embody, in all its facets, for me to do this. I am so very grateful.
The Embody workshop was more, much more than anything I could have imagined. I signed on the workshop because I have had a sore, aching body as far back as I can remember and despite the self work I have done, which is a lot, I just never seem to get to the understanding of the pain. It stops me from so much of my life, I was worn out and fed up. I did not know what the workshop would entail and was sufficiently desperate to try. Had I known the detail of the program I would have backed out because it confronts the deepest personal resistances anyone can have, and that is their body. Now that I have completed Embody I am in awe of everyone who participated, particularly myself because we were wonderful, magnificent, beautiful and freed beyond imagination. I have returned home with a new view of myself and a deeper understanding of the ways in which I was damaging my body. I have seen how I have carried responsibility for my adult children, family and friends far too long. At last I begin to feel a freedom which allows me to be an authentic friend and to follow my path without illusionary burdens.
For me that is the optimim space for anyone to embark on Embody. It is best not to know detail about the program other than you are willing to give it your best shot. You will not be disappointed, your faith will be restored in humanity and you will come away loving yourself and life unconditionally with incredible excitement. What a gift.

My weekend at Boondocks, carrying out the EMBODY workshop was more than life-changing. Each process allowed me to take a step forward towards my own devine beauty. Never have I felt so free in all 34years of existance on this earth. Every step I took was magical and it unlocked a new aspect of deep understanding to the questions I have always asked regarding my body. WHY, is my body the way it is? Never will I need to ask that question again. I have discovered my new best friend (my body). The miricles have continued into my everyday life and GRATITUDE is the only word that comes to mind when I think of my weekend at Boondocks.
Thank you Angela from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you, thank you.
Driving home in the car just now I was thinking of the weekend and what
I have learned from it. The first thing that came into my mind was the
money I invested. It is probably the best money I have ever spent. To
put it into perspective, I bought a dress for a wedding the other day
for R2020. Where did that get me???
I have taken so much away with me, too much to really write down in a
paragraph.
Some of the breakthroughs that stand out for me the most are as
follows:
Needing to nurture my inner child at the age that I was abused, to allow
safety and one of the tools to a better sex life.
To find a career that brings me joy will allow my body to unblock and
shift.
To listen to the messages my body gives me regarding pain and food.
To give my body through nakedness, touch, play, sleep, dance, and
pampering (no money need be invested in this)
This weekend has allowed me to truly love my body. I look at it with new
respect, and will treat it so.
It was so amazing working in a group, I learned so much through other
people’s processes.
I have identified that I have replaced sex with food, therefore the need
to eat constantly. Food is my ultimate pleasure, but through putting
into practise the tools and knowledge I have been given over the
weekend, I will eventually find balance.
I have been stretched out of my comfort zone in so many ways, and with
that I have grown and moved forward in my personal development.
I got home this after the workshop and my husband and kids had gone
out to lunch. When they got back my 6 year old daughter drew a beautiful
picture of me. She said to me "'mommy, you are all shiny", I said what
do you mean. She said ‘you have a sparkly dress on because when I first
saw you today, you looked all sparkly".
Isn't that amazing!!!
If you are interested in reading more testimonials or finding out about this life-changing process, please visit the Workshops section of my website or call me directly. The next Embody workshop will be held in late March 2009 and there are 9 places available.
Why do we have bodies?
How do our bodies serve us in our ‘higher’ purpose?
Why did you choose the body that you did?
How do you love an imperfect, ageing, disabled or diseased body?
How can you interpret the messages from your body?
Our bodies, like everything else, are communicators to us. They
communicate our divinity, in an immediate, uncomplicated manner. Our
bodies are as profound a source of wisdom to us as our minds and
spirits. They are faithfully attuned to our highest path, even though we
are ashamed of them, hate them and, more often that not, attempt to
control their expression.
"It is our bodies that are meant to
shape us, not us who are meant to shape our bodies"
Angela Deutschmann.
If you are brave enough to fully see and own your own body, compassionate enough to accept the bodies of others and wild enough to fall unconditionally in love with your body – forever - then I invite you to Embody.

Delicious, Personal Christmas Parcels
If giving presents involves debt, or indebtedness, of any kind then it is not pure giving. The energy of any gift that causes its giver disempowerment cannot serve anyone in that transaction. I invite you to give in a new way this Christmas and to spend time and thought, instead of only money.
Here is a list of possible gifts to put in a beautifully, innovatively wrapped Christmas parcel for the people most special to you. It will be more memorable and meaningful than purely something store-bought and will bring richness to both the giver and the recipient. That is the only kind of giving that works.
My spiritual growth clubs tried out this kind of giving on each other and loved it, without exception. The parcels were unique and gorgeous and brought out lots of hidden creativity, domesticity and artistry in the givers! Spend a few moments thinking about a person you love and then collect some of the following items:
A gift from nature (petals, leaves, beautiful stones, feathers etc)
Something that you already own that has meaning for you that you would
like to pass on (a cherished magazine, a three-quarter bottle of
perfume, an unused tool)
A limerick or poem that you have written for them
A drawing or painting or collage you have created
A book you would like to lend them
A service you would like to offer them, something you do yourself (e.g.
a massage or a financial advice session or a cooking lesson)
A service that you like to offer them from a friend or partner (as long
as they are willing to donate it!)
A list of all the things you find wonderful and loveable about them
Something that you have cooked or baked
Something glorious to smell or touch
A song you know that reminds you of them
Anything else that you are inspired to give
Of course you can add something bought, or invest in beautiful packaging, but with a limited spend of R20.00, my groups created far more loved gifts than they had ever given or received before.
The less we need, the more we have.
Merry Christmas!
