Isn’t that a scrummy name!!!!!..........a very interesting venue too….........this a sort of boutique shopping mall housed within a converted Methodist Congregational Church. It is on two floors, with some very tricky stairs to the upper floor which used to be the gallery…......they have done a good job though and the interior is very inviting….with lots of different shops selling a variety of goods…......mainly local crafts and antiques, and because of where it is…...you can probably get in a couple of prayers!!!!!!
Those who had been Methodists and attended this church, joined the Broadway Methodist Church in Cullercoats, the few remaining members joined St Columba’s in North Shields from 1973 onwards. The Church was converted into “The Land Of Green Ginger” shopping Mall in 1980, later the Hall was converted into an antique showroom and restaurant. Today this unique setting offers a wide variety of shops and a cafe.

The practice of Reiki which is an original method of healing developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th Century. Reiki works on the physical, spiritual and psychological levels of the body as well as the energy systems. This assists the body and promotes its regenerative and self healing ability. The Japanese word Reiki means ?Universal Energy’. This natural energy has always been recognised in Eastern medicine and is used in many forms such as Acupuncture, Yoga and Tai Chi. Eastern philosophy recognises that this natural energy flows through all living things and is vital to holistic well being. It is known as ?ki’ in Japanese, ?chi’ in China and ?prana’ in India. Reiki is a gentle and safe therapy. The Reiki therapist places their hands on or over the body, through clothing, and rebalances the body’s energy.
