Participants will engage with their inner, sacred Self to gain new insights and more importantly, better understand how people grow, heal, and come to wholeness in the sacred texts of the world. James will provide a selection of poems, myth, and scripture for the group to review. Participants should bring a journal, an open mind, ability for abstract thinking and a willingness to have fun.

Get a reading with a Progressive Spiritualist Church certified medium
($15 for 15 minutes) -
Note the different types of readings available:
- Spirit Messages using Mediumship
- The medium connects to a departed loved one in Spirit, providing evidence of their connection and giving you a message from these beloved spirit(s), simply using their clairvoyant capabilities. Clairvoyance is the ability to gain information using extrasensory perception.
- Spirit Messages using Divination Tools
-
These tools help a reader provide clarity into a situation and help answer your
questions pertaining to your life. There are many types of Divination tools,
such as:
- Tarot
- The images on these cards and the manner in which they are displayed help to tell a story and provide guidance in your current spiritual life. Tell the reader if you are looking for guidance in a specific area of your life. The reader uses the story and their connection to Spirit to bring it all together in a meaningful way for you.
- Palmistry
- You will receive insight to your personality traits and tendencies, along with evidence of your past, present and potential future occurrences. The shape of your hand, along with the lines on your hand tell a story. You have free will and can change the lines on your hands by changing your way of thinking and being.
- Psychometry
- Reading the energy of a physical object can bring about details of that object's owner and its history. Making that spiritual connection with the departed owner can then lead to spirit messages from them.
- Crystals/Runes
- Crystals have their own energies and attributes and can assist the medium in giving you spiritual guidance. Runes are much like cards, in that each rune and the way it is displayed help to tell a story and provide life guidance.
- Astrology/Numerology
- Using your birth date and birth name, many basic characteristics of your personality may be revealed, helping you to understand your preferences, strengths, weaknesses, and compatibility to others.
- Letter Tiles, Crystal Balls, and many others
- Many mediums create their own divination tools and have great success in delivering meaningful spirit messages and life guidance. The sky is the limit!
- Spiritual Healing (Love offering)
-
Spiritual Healing is recognized by many sacred texts and is a tenet of ancient
and modern religions. A Spiritual Healer possesses a gift for passing healing
energy from spiritual forces to
recipients. This energy helps to bring about healing of spiritual, mental and
physical conditions. Belief in the body's ability to generate its own
healing energy is important in bringing
about healing. Some of the healers have received certification in their
respective healing modality, but we do not claim to be licensed medical
practitioners and cannot diagnose anyone. We do
believe, however, in the energetic work that may provide deeper healing at a
spiritual level as we work with the higher vibrations of Infinite Intelligence.
- Energy Healing
- As stated above, the healer typically channels higher vibrational energy through the hands, while praying/requesting that spirit divinely guide this healing to the recipient as needed. No one will touch you without permission, and all energy healing may be done with no touch at all.
- Reiki
- This is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us, creating life. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or emotional pain. Reiki practitioners believe that improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
- LIIFT UnTherapy
- This is "Life Improving Internal Focus Technique". This emotional healing technique can help heal abuse, anxiety, dysfunctional families, emotional distress, PTSD, trauma, and unhappiness. You are not required to talk about your problems, as muscle testing is used in conjunction with a LIIFT manual to determine the area of greatest need. Once an area has been identified, the facilitator will have you repeat specific affirming statements that relate to your need, breathing in the energy of that statement, and possibly crossing your arms or legs in certain directions and/or tapping the energy of the statements onto your body. You will be in a private area and utmost confidentiality is practiced.
