    Never been but it has a good reputation. Might suggest that you look them up on line and call them and discuss what your needs are/ what you are hoping to achieve.

    Best of luck!

    I have never been there but I've seen their website http://www.arthurfindlaycollege.org/ and I know a man who attended a course there waaay back in the 1960s. I think he attended some sort of course in mediumship and he was highly impressed by it - both the course and the beautiful surroundings of the place. He told me I should go there if I ever get the chance. Now, even though he was there a long time ago, you know what D:Ream say... "Things can only get better." :D

    The range of courses is very extensive - it looks like there's something there for anyone who's into the paranormal and/or psychic subject areas. Seems to be a lot of emphasis on adapting courses for foreigners, especially for the Dutch. The prices are reasonable enough - it's similar to how you'd just stay in a hotel for a week and spend money on meals, activities and going out every night. I mean, it would probably work out slightly similar in price, except you probably wouldn't be boozing in Arthur Findlay College. ;) There's one seven-day course in July that costs €330 (non-SNU member). Throw in return flights to the UK (booked well in advance) on top of that and it'd come to well under €400 in total.

    It's like a little holiday really. At the very least, I wouldn't mind staying in that classy mansion and listening to people talk about something I find interesting daily. It's a pity there isn't anything like this in Ireland but, then, that's Ireland for you. I'd say I'll probably go over there next spring. smile.gif

    Ive been there. They do have a bar, so there is a certain amount of boozing once workshops are over. :) In fact I was meant to go this weekend but the snow has wrecked that plan!
    The atmosphere of the place is very special, very calming. And the building is like a rabbit warren, with stairs that seem to move, like hogwarts. :) It is run under the auspices of the SNU who have a very grounded, no nonsense approach to what they do. All classes are very practical. They have resident tutors, and also use a variety of guest tutors who run their own themed courses. A few of those tutors are dutch, which is who those courses are by.

    Ive always liked the common sense feel to what they do there. Anyone expecting incense and seances will be disappointed.

    Do bear in mind it is not a hotel. Rooms are usually shared, and are not ensuite. Meals are communal with a set menu.

    Thanks guys for the info. Was thinking over going over in March. If i do go I will report back on my experience of it.

    I defo agree about having similar in Ireland but I think it would be hard to find such special surronding to hold the courses.:rolleyes:

    The building was gifted to the society by Arthur Findlay over 60 years ago to be used as a centre for psychic research and teaching. It does have a unique atmosphere that Ive not come across anywhere else, and I think it would be impossible to recreate it in another place. With its history, Stansted Hall is a one off.

    By the way, it is known to the locals as 'spooks hall' :)

    They have a open week around may each year. you could get a one day pass or two day pass if staying locally for the weekend. five/10 minute taxi from airport, ryanair do go deals in advance and if hotel booked a good bit in advance also get good deal

    might give you a feel for the place, they do demonstations and readings during open week. lovely grounds their

  • Registered Users Posts: 500 ✭✭✭King Mallie


    Paul Jacobs. Is he good ???


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    One of the most down to earth guys you could come across. Not afraid to demo for students, and his meditations are very strictly done but very good. Doesnt suffer fools but that is a very good thing. Youll love it.

    Mavis Pitilla and some of the other Stansted tutors do weekend courses in developing psychic and mediumistic abilities in Stockport and other areas. I have attended a few in the past and they are excellent, also cheaper than going to Stansted.
    There is also an excellent place in Wales called Hafyn y coed which run residential courses throughout the year.

    The Welsh one is called Hafan-y-coed and is based in the Brecon Beacons, their web site is called www.hafanycoed.com
    The other is called Spiritual Explorations, it is run by a lady called Mavis Pittilla, she is a tutor at Stansted as well, She is actually doing a weekend in Cork in July, I am going on that as a refresher.
    Her address is www.mavispittilla.com.
    Hope this helps
