We are a small Natural Healing Sanctuary called Banyan Retreat located in the heart of Kent, just outside Ashford on the A20. We devote most of our time to the work of spirit, from healing to physical mediumship. We offer opportunities to develop and practice many aspects of mediumship and spiritual living. We feel deeply passionate about Physical Mediumship and dedicate quite a lot of our time to making this form of mediumship accessible to all who are interested. We have been most fortunate to be introduced to a number of physical mediums over recent years and are pleased to say that we are now supported by some of the best mediums in the present day. This site is devoted to promoting the work of the spirit and what they are able to achieve with a little help from our world. Come and join us and experience the remarkable phenomenon Physical Mediumship has to offer.

Listen to what Leslie Flint had to say to us, using direct voice in a recent seance, held in our new seance room here at Banyan Retreat.

Séance Trumpets are available:

Size = 46cm tall

They are all handmade and come in a variety of colours. They cost £20 each for the standard trumpets but should you wish to have a custom made trumpet with your own decoration this can be arranged. The cost of a custom made trumpet is £25 and you will need to send us a one meter length of good quality gift wrapping paper for us to dress your trumpet.

After the overwhelming success of the first CD from the Austin Wish Circle entitled ’Introducing the Austin Wish Circle’, we are pleased to present you with further enlightenment in the form of popular questions and answers from the Spirit world.

Mr John Austin passed to Spirit in 2011, we continue to remember and celebrate his life, all of his achievements and his exceptional contribution to this work. John was circle leader to the Wish Circle during his earthly days, and we look forward to his continued contribution and leadership of the Austin Wish Circle from the other side of life.

On this CD Eric explains a little about the world which awaits us, and his views regarding Atlantis. Daniel explains about the second death and what happens in cases of suicide. All this plus much much more

Leslie Flint was a 'direct voice' medium and as can be seen in the photograph (on right), the ectoplasm voice box is located on his left shoulder.

Leslie Flints conducted his direct voice séances whilst sitting wide awake and in total darkness. He said in his autobiography that he has learnt more about life and people and human problems and emotions by sitting in the dark than he could possibly have learnt in any other way, and those who have taught him the most are people who, dead to this world, are living in the next.
