Certificate
Transformation and the Expanded Heart
This course is a journey into deeper self-awareness, expanded consciousness, spiritual connection, and heart-led living.
It is designed to support profound inner transformation through experiential practice, reflection, embodiment, and connection to higher guidance.
​
Each month builds upon the last, gently opening the participant to greater sensitivity, trust, discernment, compassion, and alignment. The emphasis throughout the course is not on escaping life, but on becoming more deeply present within it — living with an awakened heart, grounded awareness, and authentic spiritual connection.
​
The 8 month course starts November 2026, one Friday each month (9:30-14:30)
The course is led by Liz Sparkes & Andrew Codling
Andrew Codling, a Trance Medium, Intuitive, Reiki Practitioner, Spiritual Medium, and Mentor & Coach, devoted to guiding others on their path of healing, awakening, and personal growth — always from a place of deep love and compassion.
Liz Sparkes, a health psychologist, intuitive coach, shamanic practitioner and reiki/energy healer. After completing a PhD in Pain Psychology and training to facilitate compassion meditation and mindfulness, she dedicated herself to helping others feel more fulfilled.
Month 1 — Expanding the Heart
The heart is more than emotion; it is a centre of perception, intuition, coherence, and connection.
This opening month focuses on softening the protective layers that limit authentic connection and exploring what it means to live from the wisdom of the heart rather than fear, defence, or conditioning.
Participants will begin to understand that true spiritual connection does not arise from striving or performance, but from openness, sincerity, emotional honesty, and presence.
Month 2 — What Is a Spiritual Connection?
This month explores the foundations of authentic spiritual connection. Participants will begin to understand the difference between imagination, projection, intuition, and genuine energetic or spiritual experiences.
The focus is not on achieving dramatic experiences, but on developing sensitivity, discernment, groundedness, and trust in subtle awareness.
Month 3 — Connecting to Spirit
This month supports participants in consciously developing their relationship with spiritual guidance. The emphasis is placed on safety, groundedness, authenticity, and personal experience rather than external authority or dependency.
​
Participants are encouraged to develop their own direct relationship with guidance in a balanced and empowered way.
Month 4 — Working in Receptive States & Embodying a Compassionate Presence
A heightened spiritual connection requires not only openness, but embodiment. This month explores the relationship between the nervous system, emotional state, physical wellbeing, and spiritual receptivity.
Participants learn how to become more grounded, compassionate, and present within themselves.
Month 5 — Energy Awareness
This month develops sensitivity to energy within oneself, others, environments, and spiritual connection. Participants learn how energy is experienced, interpreted, and consciously worked with in grounded and balanced ways.
The emphasis is on awareness, discernment, and energetic responsibility.
Month 6 — Inner Obstacles to an Authentic Connection
As consciousness expands, emotions, patterns and parts of us that are pushed down, rise to the surface. This month explores the fears, wounds, beliefs, and unconscious patterns that interfere with authentic spiritual connection and emotional freedom.
​
Participants are supported in approaching themselves with honesty, compassion, and responsibility.
Month 7 — Using Ceremony for Change
Ceremony allows intention, consciousness, emotion, and energy to come together in a focused and transformative way. This month explores how ritual and sacred practice can support healing, release, transition, gratitude, and manifestation.
Participants learn to create meaningful ceremony from authenticity rather than performance.
Month 8 — Moving Forward with Confidence
The final month supports integration, trust, and embodiment. Participants reflect upon their transformation and explore how to continue living from expanded awareness beyond the course.
The focus becomes less about seeking experiences and more about becoming aligned, grounded, compassionate, and authentic in everyday life.
