2025:
the four seasons change workshops
magic spelling workshops
All living things in nature respond to the different seasons. And yet 'us humans' typically fight against these natural cycles!
How can we better manage change, the relationships that matter to us, and to our various life transitions?
And how can we restructure our internal subjective experience, in a way that brings fresh and helpful perspectives on all of life's challenges?

Spelling is a crucial and fundamental language skill; but it does not come naturally to everyone. Creative, talented, intelligent people who may also be avid readers - do not necessarily find spelling easy (and especially for the English language!).
1 in 6 (18% / 6.6 million people) adults aged 16 to 65 in England have very poor literacy skills.
(National Literacy Trust 2024)
Phil set up his first Magic Spelling Club back in 2004, whilst working as a coach in Inner City London.
Different versions sprang up in all the primary and secondary schools, charities, and family centres he worked with over the following 16 years or so. Children - mostly in Year 3 (7-8 years old) would come along and bring their friends.
Those children who 'qualified' as certified spelling coaches would to set up early, to then help their friends learn the magic spelling technique. (Over 30 children each week would come - and because they wanted to:)
Before coming to the club, many were known to really struggle with 'spelling difficulties', and were noticeably waning in confidence in school. And yet, after one or two weeks, they were returning to their classes eager to show off their ability to spell long and difficult words forwards and - just because they could - backwards!
Dinosaur names were always a favourite!
Teachers would get curious and come along the club to find out what the the 'magic' was - often staying on to learn the trick for themselves.
The technique comes from the 1970's when NLP (neuro linguistic modelling) was first developed. NLP is concerned with the internal mental processes and structures that 'naturally talented' individuals unconsciously use. Phil, as a Master NLP Practitioner, has taken the findings from those days and adapted what's known as The NLP Spelling Strategy, into a child-friendly approach. Children have fun working in groups - with each taking one of four roles; The Reader, The Window Cleaner; The Postie, and of course, The Coach. Sound effects, fun movements, 'Spelling Supersstar' TV interviews, and other tricks are added in.
The technique also works well at home - and for individuals of any age. (The oldest of Phil's clients was a successful business owner in her 50's, who as a result then followed her dream of signing up for an OU degree).

“Just thought you might like to know that I got a A* for my science test. That is 25% of my final mark and is really great. My science teachers have suggested that I sit an As first module Physics in January one year before I should. That is really great news don’t you think? Thanks Again.”
