THIS WEEK:  Visiting our Ancestors Intuitively 
& Mediumistically
As we near the 171st Anniversary of the Advent of Modern Spiritualism, we will be working on connecting to our ancestors, especially those who transitioned long ago and who we may not know intimately.  Come join us for a discovery of who are we as we "visit" loved ones of yore.
Picture
These classes are to help you build your intuitive and
mediumistic abilities. Beginners are welcome!
We meet in the blue room (Rooms 3 & 4).
Contact Frank if you have questions!

Previously:
We had a great experience with Su at the “Tarot Without Tears”
workshop.  Everyone walked away with a better understanding  of
the cards, and we finished the afternoon giving actual readings for 
one another. Su is a wonderful teacher and provided all the details
we would ever want to know about this method of card reading!
Thanks so much Su!

Also, we were privileged to be the first to see Su's recently finished
cross-stitch project, scene at a seance, which took two years to create.  What 
a wonderful art piece.  Leah Fox's daughter was represented in the 
original painting.  Please ask Su about the history and elements in this 
amazing artwork.

Previously:
We all had a fantastic time with Jenn, who visited us from PA.
At service, we witnessed a wonderful Spiritual Address,  full of 
meaningful quotes and words to live by.  Spirit messages were 
given by Frank and Jenn—a high level of connectivity was apparent 
to all.  The workshop on energy was enjoyed and we ended with
a sense of reaching a higher vibration with knowledge of tools
and chi gong practices to achieve these states again.  Fully in 
gratitude for the great visit!  Thanks and love to you Jenn!
