Christo Norden-Powers has taught Stillness meditation techniques in Australia and overseas for 40 years to many thousands of people, including to executives and boards of major organisations, and to Olympic athletes. His primary mission is to enable people around the world to bring Stillness into everyday life.
He says: ' The path I've followed is best described as the path of Consciousness. Every spiritual tradition is founded on the process of raising individual consciousness to embrace a higher Consciousness. The small 's' self merges with the big 'S' Self.
​
The many different paths all lead to that. The different philosophies and approaches to attaining higher Consciousness each have certain meditative practices that will take us back to the Self. The practices are the practical way to experience Consciousness in every part of life.'
Christo is a corporate change consultant, executive coaching and a former criminal trial Lawyer & Barrister. Learnt NLP from John Grinder and is a reiki practitioner.
In the early 1970’s he met the great Siddha master Baba Muktananda from whom he received shaktipat initiation, which led to many extraordinary spiritual experiences, shifts in consciousness and deep insights.

In her freetime she is obsessed with studying and observing archetypes, travel (near and far!), personal development deep dives and her beloved nephew!

Domenica Papalia has worked as an Evidential Medium, Medical Intuitive and Mentor for over 20 years. Her career as a clinical pharmacist was set, until without warning she found herself inexplicably communicating with Spirit.
With that swift manoeuvre from ‘upstairs’, her career as a pharmacist took a back seat and her journey as a medium, energy healer and channel began. Her knowledge as a pharmacist is complimented by more than 12 national and international accreditations, including Family Constellations, Theta Healing, shadow work, voice dialogue and more.
Domenica is an inspiring, authentic teacher and communicator, who lives guided by her deep love for Spirit. She easily blends humour, knowledge and enthusiasm into a refreshingly practical approach to the transformational process.
