The written transcription of the interview can be found below.
Natural Therapy Pages: I'm Mel from NTPagesTV, and I'm here with Anna from the Australian Centre for Spiritual Development. How are you, Anna?
Anna Pelle: I'm very well, very well, very excited to be here.
NTP: That's nice to hear. So, tell me about the Centre. What do you do?
AP: We're a spiritual development centre. We run various different workshops, courses on intuitive development, mediumship, psychic mediumship. We run a course called Fundamentals of Working with the Spirit World. And again, as I said, just as far as the workshops go, various different workshops, we also offer readings and services. And new to our addition is a men's workshop. So, we're very excited, exactly. We're very excited to actually showcase a men's workshop, and for men only.
NTP: Yeah, and what happens for the men?
AP: No idea, men only. No, kidding. There's various different things that they cover in the workshop, but it's totally excluded from us. It's a no girls zone.
NTP: It's men's business.
AP: That's exactly right, exactly right.
NTP: So, where are you based?
AP: We're based in North Parramatta. However, we do offer workshops throughout Sydney as well. So, we're heading up to Central Coast. You know, I guess we're getting out there to people that can't come out to North Parramatta.
NTP: Has the centre been around for a long time?
AP: We've been around for three years now, so it's very exciting. Very exciting. We've come from a small business to getting bigger, which is great.
NTP: That's really great to hear. And how long are each of the courses?
AP: They run 12 weeks, so our courses run for 12 weeks weeks. And then depending on the development and where you want to go with that, you can move on to several other courses.
NTP: So, are they on the weekends or, like, for people working out there?
AP: Our courses are during the week. They run for two hours, roughly, and our workshops run on a weekend. And just depending upon during the day, we also offer classes as well. So, just tailoring it to mums and dads that, you know, can only get, or shift workers that can't do evening classes but can do day classes. So, we kind of try and tailor to everyone's needs.
NTP: Excellent! What's the philosophy? I mean, obviously it's just bringing about awareness.
AP: Yeah, you're right - bringing about awareness of yourself, finding out a bit more about yourself and, I guess, just developing your own inner abilities. So, just bringing those out to the forefront and using them in everyday life.
NTP: And you've got quite a range of teachers.
AP: We do, indeed. So, we've got angelic teachers, we've got psychics, we've got the mediums, we've got healers. So, it's a nice, big general mix. So, it's awesome.
NTP: One big family.
AP: Exactly! We like to think that. Definitely.
NTP: Fantastic. Sounds lovely. Thank you so much for your time. Do you have a website we can go to?
AP: We do. It's www.acfsd.com.au.
NTP: Got it. Thank you so much for your time. Have a great time at the show.
AP: Thank you, thanks a lot.
