whispers from beyond


Whsipers From Beyond

ANTHONY GRZELKA, 41-year-old father of three is one of Australia's leading Spiritual Mediums. As the Australian equivalent to John Edwards, he conducts seminars, workshops and private readings throughout Australia. His popularity is such that seminars are always at sell-out capacity and the private readings are booked ahead for two years.

Anthony began working as a professional Spiritual Medium about six years ago. When his corporate career became unfulfilling, the onetime Insurance Broker began using his unique psychic gift, talking to those from the past to bring hope and relief to families and individuals whose lives had been affected by tragedy, sickness and disaster.

His approach to helping people deal with grief and achieve spiritual wellbeing is down-to-earth, practical and achievable. And the results, are “beyond belief” say the astonished families who've experienced Anthony's special brand of 'crossing over'. He is the man dubbed Australia's own ''Ghost Whisperer'' - and one of only two Aussie medium’s endorsed by respected US medium, James Van Praagh who inspired Channel Seven's show of the same name.

His new technique of ‘soul talking’ is further increasing the level of respect for Anthony.  The unique ‘connections' he's made with severely disabled children, stroke-ridden patients or people in comas, is finally unlocking hidden doorways into a little understood twilight world where he's become the 'voice' for a vulnerable, disadvantaged section of the community.

Anthony is also an accomplished author his first book ‘Medium Down Under’ published in 2007 was soon followed by ‘Life & Beyond’, which released to rave reviews in August 2008. His TV appearances include Channel 7’s Weekend Sunrise, Channel 9’s The Catch Up, a number of guest spots on various ABC TV shows, he has been interviewed by New Idea, Who Magazine and Take 5 and has done countless radio appearances, including his now weekly 1 hour psychic show on ‘The Night show with Christo’ in the Eastern States.

If you would like to experience Anthony’s special brand of ‘crossing over’ first-hand, then take the opportunity to go to one of his seminars. The connections Anthony makes at his seminars is really something to be experienced, and not just by those receiving the connection. Bearing witness to the moment of truth when he delivers a message from a loved one passed that lifts and shifts years of grief, hurt or unresolved emotion for an individual in the audience is awesome. Instead of simply being entertained, the audience as a whole learns by the experience.

SUNDAY 17TH MAY 1:30PM

Bookings are essential. Tickets are available by phoning (08) 9724 1881 or online at www.whispersfrombeyond.com.au (seminars page)

A mixture of art history analysis and scandalous anecdote, this lecture takes a generally light-hearted look at changing attitudes to sexual morality down the ages. This lecture is very much a social history: carefully placing the works of art in their proper historical context, which reveals many little nuances and meanings in well-known works which might not be immediately apparent to the modern eye.

SPEAKER: ELIZABETH GORDON – NADFAS
Elizabeth is both art historian and musician. She has lectured on art and music tours for Serenissima, NADFAS, Martin Randall Travel, and on cruises for Swan Hellenic and Noble Caledonia. Elizabeth’s hobby is singing, and for many years she sang in the Bach Choir. She will be sharing her love and knowledge of Sicily, Assisi, Venice, Vivaldi and Kings College Cambridge. Elizabeth is also the tour leader of the 2009 ADFAS Tour to Venice.

Lecture: Vivaldi & Canaletto
Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) spent most of his life writing bubbling concertos for a girl’s orphanage in Venice. Antonio Canaletto (1697-1768) was a mere 19 years younger than Vivaldi, and spent his career painting topographical views of his native city for the delectation of the tourists who wished to have a personal record of Venice to take back home. In Elizabeth’s view Vivaldi and Canaletto are pretty good bedfellows!
