    Dear friends, patients and supporters,

    A little history …

    As many know it all began in 1990 in an apartment in Fuengirola, during a visit by healer Stephen Turoff, with his mentor in the spiritual world (Dr. Khan), a reference was made to build a centre on the outskirts of Coin.

    Alternative Malaga: Eco-Union

    eco-union-logo

    We waved farewell to 2011 with precious little ambition from UN Summit on Climate Change in Durban. Although it was decided to extend the Kyoto Protocol beyond 2012 and to set a roadmap for reducing greenhouse gases, the minimal agreements shed little light on the struggle against this global phenomenon that will affect everyone. Last year, and probably this one, will also pass down in the annals of history as the year of public outrage against the depersonalization and globalisation of our systems. Informed citizens … Continue reading

Everything began to take shape on May 15, when demonstrations were held in more than 50 Spanish cities and towns.

    Coaching from the heart

    Life Coaching encompasses many different approaches and techniques that are all aimed at improving a particular area of someone’s life, often somewhere that they feel that they have got stuck in.
      
    More often than not these areas are related to work or relationships, situations where it is easy to get caught in a circular conversation in the mind that ends up going nowhere. And even in good, open and communicative relationships there are often subjects that are not easy to discuss and again the mental loop … Continue reading
