About StarfishSpace

StarfishSpace

The Starfish name was channelled in 2016 and has been waiting to manifest in the world – In 2022 we bought Dingle Cottage and now Starfish Space is coming into being. 

The word Starfish resonates in many ways:

  • Stars above and Fish below. As above, so below. What we attend to in the Astral Planes will manifest in our physical life
  • A starfish has a copy of its vital organs in each of its arms. The ability to regenerate and endure is symbolic of the work Starfish Space is doing.
  • A Starfish has five arms. Five is a dynamic number and a call to action.
  • Starfish live in the water, and we are entering the Age of Aquarius

Dingle Retreat

Dingle Retreat nestles in the hills of the Welsh Shropshire border alongside Offa’s Dyke. It is an ancient, tranquil place surrounded by nature. We sit beneath the Kerry Ridgeway and look out on the imposing Cordon Hill. We have a lovely stream that meanders through the garden for those who like to sit by water.

We call our working space the Highlands because it is on the highest ground. It is a light and airy space that is air conditioned. Outside is a lawned area where we are planning to set a large bell tent for outdoor ceremonies. Lunch is served on a large communal table under an old acer tree by the stream. There are plenty of quiet and peaceful spaces in the garden to sit quietly and contemplate.

Charlie & Ingrid

Charlie

I started my working life as an Army Engineer, getting to see interesting parts of the world and learning much about leadership. Since 1990, I’ve worked as a management consultant accruing an understanding of the corporate world. Looking back, my interest has always been in people and how they make their way through life. To that end, I qualified as a person-centred psychotherapist in 2009.

Spirituality has been present in my life for as long as I can remember. Mediumship runs in my family and the afterlife has always been real for me. My instincts tell me that I’ve had many lives on Earth and before that in other star systems. I have often felt that I see the world differently to those around me and have gradually found my tribe and a place where I can be understood.

To those around me I offer, balance, calm, and the ability to explain complex information in simple terms. I’m a good listener and I’ve noticed that my energy seems to stimulate people to make changes in their lives.

I’ve been married to Ingrid since 2021 and am full of gratitude for the love and acceptance that she brings into my life. We both have grown up children and I think they are curious about the work we are doing.

My Dad and his ancestors came from the Harz mountains in Germany where the Brothers Grimm collected their archetypal fairy stories; it is a magical place. My Mum’s side is a lovely mix of Celtic heritage. Hong Kong became my home in my early 20’s and I found my tribe in the diverse international spiritual community there. I was drawn to shamanic work and was an apprentice to Mark Nelson who trained in core shamanism and is the author of Shamanism Your Personal Journey to Healing & Self-Discovery.

Since then, I have completed a Shamanic practitioner course and an experiential Soul Regeneration course with Howard and Elsa Malpas. I have been honoured to travel to Mongolia and work with the shamans there. I have also been to Columbia with Anthar Kharana, meeting indigenous elders, working with Tobacco as a plant medicine and deepening my practice.

My core strengths are working closely with my guides, choreographing rituals and ceremonies, honouring sacred space and providing a safe space for you to experience connection with your guides, power animals and the elementals and if required I also offer personalised shamanic healing.

I am now truly blessed to be living on a idyllic piece of land after falling in love with my beautiful soul mate Charlie.
