Thelma van der Wreff & Adva Webber with Colournostics.
Venue; Community Hall, 2 Alnwick St (next door to Town Hall), Warkworth.
Open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start. $5 contribution at the door – Harmony Circle is non-profit.
Thelma and Adva demonstrate how Colournostics coaches through a unique 5 steps process that takes you straight to the core of any concern and shows you how to clear any obstacles in your path.
Thelma created her Colour Comfort Method from her desire to make the psychology of colour part of everyday life. She analyses the colours people commonly wear and use to reveal their hidden talents and potential, while identifying and reprogramming unwanted behaviour, thought patterns and feelings. She has developed an online course about the psychology of colour, and regularly speaks at events, where people are constantly amazed with the accuracy of the information that their colour choices reveal.
Adva has been involved with Colournostics since it was launched and combines it with great impact in her holistic therapy. In her holistic therapy practice Adva incorporates Art Therapy, Energy Balance, Bowen Technique and Reiki. All through these, colour is an amazing tool for better analysis and resolution.
A draw will be held on the night to win a Colournostics session with Adva Webber.
