hen Paul Hamnet moved from the UK to start a new life in Spain with his family around 20 years ago, he hoped to make new friends, as we all do when we make a major move. However, he didn’t expect that many of his new acquaintances would come from the spirit world! Why would he? Working with Spirit and healing was not something he’d ever done or been particularly interested in. Yet just a month ago, he opened the doors to the PA Community and Wellbeing Centre in Los Montesinos, across the park from the Punjabi Palace restaurant. Already the Centre is very well supported, and has hosted a number of successful events, but what made Paul decide the area needed something like this? And why did he feel so strongly about it that he’s put retirement on hold to run the Centre on a full-time basis with a team of dedicated support staff and volunteers?

For the last 10 years or more, Paul has been developing his mediumship and healing skills and hosting demonstrations of mediumship and healing sessions in the area. When Covid and the two lockdowns brought everything to a halt, he dreamed of opening a place where people could come for healing, training, support and fellowship and be part of a community of like-minded people. It’s important to Paul and the team that healing and opportunities to learn and grow spiritually should be accessible to everyone who needs it, so the Centre is constituted as a charity and is not for profit. Paul, who owns the building, didn’t actively seek out suitable premises. He happened to be driving past the former play centre and cafe and thought it was the perfect setting; a peaceful oasis in the bustling, typically Spanish town, with a stunning outlook over a verdant park. Work began on transforming the building in late June 2024, and before Christmas, the Centre was hosted its first event, a Psychic Afternoon Tea with more than 50 guests. It officially opened for business on 7 January, 2025. Anyone can come for hands-on spiritual healing by appointment, or receive healing at Divine Service on Sundays, and there is no charge, just a freewill donation towards the Centre’s running costs.
