In Wales, Unique By Design Seminars are organised and run by Sian Dawson at New Quay on the beautiful West Wales Coast.

In 1997, and newly converted to Christianity, Sian met Diane Hale at a Retreat held at Ty Brazil, in the countryside of West Wales.  They had an special empathy as both Diane and Sian's ancestors originate from the South Wales Valleys and they had a spiritual connection too.  At that retreat there were pastors and preachers from Africa, USA and Wales and it was a deeply moving and inspirational experience.

There was an emphasis there on Ezekiel 37 ..... "the hand of the Lord was upon me and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley;  it was full of bones  He led me to and fro among them and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry  He asked me, "Son of Man, can these bones live?  I said "Oh sovereign Lord,  you alone know"...

They met again two years later when Sian attended a Unique By Design Course in the UK  and they have kept in touch since via the Internet. 

Diane lives in Georgia, USA. where she  hosts Courses and Workshops and is a popular guest speaker, so when she recently scheduled a visit to the UK  in April 2009 to hold an Instructor Training Course it seemed the right time for them both to meet again. 

Sian has personal experience of spiritual growth and knows how the Unique By Design Course allowed her to take a new look at her talents and gifts and recognise how they could be used for the benefit of others through the blessing of the spirit of the Lord.

Sian lives in West Wales with her husband Paul where they have a Holiday Home Letting Agecy and they have five children and six grandchildren.
