Workshops & Retreats
​
Q. What level of meditation and spiritual development do I need to be at?
A. You will be taught at whatever level you are at. We usually have participants that are at a wide range of abilities and experience. Also specific meditations may be prescribed as part of the preparation leading up to a retreat.
​
Q. Can you please summarise the overall purpose of the AWAKEN workshops and retreats.
A. To receive a taster of the spiritual life we are all destined to live. Being on retreat, truly living this work, allows real opportunity for real change. The deeper you choose to dive, the more profound your experiences become. You demonstrate to yourself you can really learn, apply and live a spiritual life.
​
Q. The idea of awakening is new to me and although I am keen I have little experience and the terms seem foreign to me. Would I be able to join in and keep up?
A. Yes. All you need is a genuine desire to explore spirituality. Concepts can be understood and explored from participants’ present level. The practical emphasis takes you into the “reality” of the words, eliminating confusion and bringing spiritual subjects down to earth and into your life. Lynne's fun loving and creative approach offers great encouragement.
​
Q. What are the key advantages of attending a retreat?
A. Here's a quick fire list: Community. Sustained physical presence with Lynne Towner. The identification of karmic and "in the moment" dynamics of group work. Deep seated release, new beliefs ... change. Inspired spiritual teaching. Opportunity to focus away from daily distractions - to shift attention to Infinite Spirit - a gift to yourself, to your divine soul. Learning how to engage the the energies of the location to work with you.
​
Q. Can you please describe Lynne's teaching style
A. Lynne stands on a solid foundation of spiritual knowledge and experience. Her teaching has been described as ‘practical and experiential rather than dry and theoretical’. You can expect to have fun, be challenged and make significant soul progress.
Her love of working in the 'spacious moment of now' ensures spontaneity rather a structured approach buried in form. Don't be suprised if you find your self walking in nature, in the dark, being profoundly inspired by Divine starlight.
​
Q. Will I gain any skills to help me on my faith after I leave.
A. During the retreat you will fill a kite with tools and exercises and ongoing support is available.
​
Q: I am thinking of coming on my own and not with anyone - will that work out for me?
A. People usually come on their own. Because the corner stone of the retreat is group work you will soon get to know people. A very welcoming and inclusive environment is created at every retreat and workshop. Participants often make lifelong friends, as it often a relief to be in conscious community where there is openness and honesty based on love.
​
Q. Can couples attend retreats?
A. Couples are most welcome on retreat. Many couples have attended retreats with Lynne over the years and have benefited from working individually and together on their soul progress.

Q. What kind of issues can Soul Guidance assist me with?
A. There isn’t a single circumstance that does not relate to soul. Therefore, the answer is every issue. Here are some examples: stress, health (mental, emotional, physical & sexual), financial issues, life direction and purpose, relationships (work and home), depression and other psychological dilemmas, life’s transitions and other unexplainable events. Some of the main areas Lynne is requested to address more frequently are highlighted below.
​
Q. How will Soul Guidance help me to actually change?
A. There are many psychological and physical responses involved in holding old behaviours in place. You will be provided with resources such as guided meditations and methods to change old and outdated energy pathways. You may also be encouraged to join one of Lynne’s other courses, programmes or retreats.
Q. I don’t have a particular issue, would Soul Guidance still be useful for me?
A. Yes indeed. When we come unarmed without a question it provides an invaluable opportunity for soul to reveal the deeper spiritual nature of your life. Such an opportunity connects people deeply to their soul’s purpose and evolution offering rich and meaningful insight.
​​
Q. What do I need to believe in for a Soul Guidance session to be effective for me?
A. Great Question! Only that all is energy. It is also helpful to be open to the truth, that every one of us has everything we need to heal and change. And further, that the whole process is divinely guided.
​​
Q. After I learn my soul lesson what ongoing support can I expect for resolving it?
A. Clients are welcome to book a second Soul Guidance session which will enable specific skills to be taught. In particular how to change the thoughts that drive the karma, which will have been discovered in the first session. A clear understanding of the spiritual and energetic teaching that is underlying your particular issue will assist your faith and provide a deeper understanding of what is “really” going on.
Lynne or one of our expert guides can assist with customising a Soul Guidance healing schedule that matches your specific soul requirements. This may include a series of Soul Guidance sessions, meditations, and other exercises.
​
Q. Will a Soul Guidance session interfere with my religious beliefs?
A. Lynne’s spiritual training and beliefs have not been constructed within or influenced by religious beliefs. People of different religious traditions have greatly benefited from Soul Guidance and their religious belief have not been in conflict with the process. Divine love is beyond boundaries.
​​
Q. During and after my session, how can I make the most of a Soul Guidance session?
A.
-
Firstly, by listening to the soul level information with an open mind and by challenging yourself to knock away all the defenses of the mind. This will allow you to relate to and take in the information thereby gaining the most out of the opportunity.
-
Secondly, you need to stay awake to on-going examples of the karmic pattern as it arises (and it surely will) in your day to day life.
-
Thirdly, stay awake to yourself and “consciously engage” the skills Soul Guidance has created for you.
​​​
Q. There is nothing in particular wrong in my life but I have a deep longing for Spiritual connection. Is a Soul Guidance session for me?
A. Yes! Being proactive about your Spiritual journey or soul led life is a great place from which to step into a Soul Guidance session.
-
You will become clear of the particular place you have arrived at in your spiritual journey.
-
Lynne will provide the teaching and the practices to expand your consciousness and assist you to awaken to your true soul nature.
-
Whatever level you are at, it is deeply rewarding and fulfilling to know the ‘how to’ for the next step/s to take to AWAKEN to the next level of spiritual development.
​​​
Q. Will I experience tangible benefits after Soul Guidance session?
A. Yes, at the very least you will receive the priceless effects of receiving the divine truth of your soul purpose, the invitation to AWAKEN. Further, as you chose to deepen this connection and apply the exercises in daily life, the benefits will increase significantly. It is always a co-creative enterprise between your human self and spirit. The practices etc are given to you and it is up to you to engage what you have been taught.
​​
Q. Are online Soul Guidance sessions just as effective as in person?
A. Lynne has always performed Soul Guidance sessions on retreat, in-person private sessions, over the telephone and via Zoom. In unusual circumstances Lynne has taken a soul enquiry via email and sent an audio file in response. At the level of spiritual reality we move beyond time and space, and the level of engagement combined with ongoing practising of the skills, is a greater determinant of effective outcome than method and location. So the answer is, Yes!!
​
Q. Do I need to prepare for a Soul Guidance session?
A. Yes. Once appointment time has been confirmed and your payment has been processed, you will receive information outlining some preparation tips. These are not compulsory, however an awareness, of the information, will assist in preparing the energies for a potent Soul Guidance session.
​
Children​
Q. My child has learning issues, how could Soul Guidance assist?
A. Soul Guidance outlines what is causing the inner tension or friction that is presently playing out through the nervous system and reflecting through mental and physical processes. Although the child may be experiencing a common learning difficulty, Soul Guidance will give the specifics of each case and therefore more effectively target causation, and develop solutions specifically suited to your child’s circumstances.
​​
Q. Parents often ask if they can bring a child who is having nightmares, unexplained fears, seeing things…
A. Lynne uses creative tools so kids can be directly involved in sessions, colour, acting out. Because karma is not so concretised in children and their imagination is so free and alive.
Children respond exceptionally well to Soul Guidance as they are still open and their connection with their inner self is stronger and creative. To some degree they are still in their natural state.
​​
Death & Dying
Q. Can you help me reconnect with someone that has passed over?
A. While every case is quite different, there maybe a spiritual opening provided. Lynne will be made aware and will reveal what is correct for both your soul and the soul of your loved one. The utterly loving communication and meaning that is provided by Spirit can give tremendous relief to love ones.
​​
Q. For someone who is in the process of dying, can soul guidance be helpful?
-
Yes. During the last phase of someone’s life there is often increased Spiritual attention offering profoundly loving solutions to soul requirements that have not been addressed. It is never, never, never too late to heal and change.
-
At times clients have asked Lynne to assist the soul forces of a loved one to transit out of this reality with ease and grace. Lynne is highly trained in the dynamics and forces that are alive in this immensely deep and beautiful transition.
