THINGS TO DO
Ghost Walks
Every Wednesday, July 1 – September 2
Scheduled with Various Leaders – $20
8:30-10:30pm, Meet at the Auditorium
Some people define “ghost” and “spirit” differently. Find out as our
night time walking tour of Lily Dale begins at the Auditorium. We will
begin with a brief overview of Spiritualism and the unseen realms. A
brief history of how Lily Dale got started, and how it rapidly grew to
become the world’s largest center for the religion of Spiritualism gets
us started. We will walk past many of the old “haunts” of Lily Dale.
At the Healing Temple “spirit lights” have been caught on film as the
healers work, channeling spirit help to those in need. We’ll stop by
our historic museum, once a one room schoolhouse, where there are
paintings which have been precipitated onto canvas by unseen hands.
As we walk by the entrance gate to the present grounds, you will notice
the original site where the first summer meetings took place. This is
now called the Leolyn Hotel, and spirits of the past still linger there.
It is now again part of the present day Lily Dale, but many overlook
this special place. The Leolyn Woods is a rare gem of remaining “old
growth” forest in New York State. Many of its ancient trees were seedlings before the white man walked this land. The spirit of Native Americans still come to touch some of those who walk through this area. In
the woods is an energy “vortex” called Inspiration Stump. We’ll linger
at this location at the end of our walk, to sense the presence of Spirit.
If rainy, be sure to bring an umbrella. The rain won’t “dampen our spirits”. If it is pouring out, our tour will end in Assembly Hall, where Spirits
have helped seekers almost as many years as at the “Stump”. The tour
requires about an hour of walking and some stair climbing. Those with
any handicapped restrictions are welcome to attend as best they can.
We encourage you to have your own transportation.
All of your Spirit Walk hosts are familiar with Lily Dale and its “haunts”.
Each has a special love for “the Dale” and its history. No two tours are
alike. While there is never a guarantee that you’ll see a ghost or sense a
Spirit, you’re sure to gain a better understanding of them and of Lily Dale.
These are not GHOST HUNTS! The purpose is SPIRIT AWARENESS.
Special Ghost Walks
Wednesday July 31, August 7, September 5
8:30pm-10:30pm, Meet at Monika’s Delight
$30.00 Limit of 100 per spirit walk
These special spirit walks are enhanced with live actors and drama
from the past. Each actor represents a special time in history here in
Lily Dale. In their detailed costumes, with their historical talks, each
actor has a greatness to be shared. Please join us for a fun filled walk
back in time.

Open Sweat Lodge Ceremonies
Scheduled with various leaders.
Meet at Lily Dale beach, rain or shine.
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED – NO REGISTRATION
“Open Lodge” dates and times for 2015 at the lodge site on Lily Dale’s
beach: The fire is started 2 hours before the first lodge. THAT is when
“first come first served” begins. Please no e-mails in advance.
Lodge ceremony is one way to connect with the Spirit Realms and the
Divine. Lily Dale’s lodge is a structure made of saplings bent over to
form a small dome high enough to crawl and sit up in. Usually about
25 people are able to squeeze in to form 2 circles around the center,
where a “stone people’s pit” is located. Red-hot rocks from the outside fire are brought into the pit. Water is poured onto the stones,
creating a “sacred breath” which helps us to center and pray.
The sweat lodge ceremony can last anywhere from one to several
hours, depending on the lodge leader and the needs of those attending. All lodge leaders have many years of experience. No two ceremonies are alike. Appropriate attire for Lily Dale’s lodges includes shorts
and a T-shirt, although some women choose the more traditional long
(below knee) skirt and a T-shirt that covers the elbows. Please bring a
towel and a dry change of clothes. No bathing suits please.
Attendance is “first come, first served” (see above) up to 23 participants. We do reserve the right to turn away people whose presence
may be disharmonious in the group. If there are enough “latecomers”
after the first 23, and there is interest, there may be another lodge
about 2 hours after the original one.
There is no fee for participation, but goodwill offerings to defray costs
are gratefully appreciated.
Please note: Inside the lodge it can get very hot and crowded. Many
leaders do not permit women on their “moon time”(menses) to go
inside. Ask them. If you have any health concerns or concerns about
the health of other participants (e.g. HIV, hepatitis B, etc.), please
discuss them beforehand with your doctor. Participation is open, voluntary, and “at your own risk”.
Note: All 6 pm lodges this year are done with fewer hot stones and
could be considered for newcomers

The Metaphysical Journey Into the Weird World of Time
What is time? Does time repeat itself? Is time linear, or something
else? Does time exist in the spiritual realm? Is time travel possible?
How can we use astrological wisdom to navigate our lives through
the dimensions of time?
Rev. Joanne Copley-Nigro
We hold this celebration to
honor and remember the animals and pets that have transitioned to Spirit who rest in our
Lily Dale Pet Cemetery as well as
all pets that are in Spirit.
On February 13, 1900, the Lily Dale Pet Cemetery was created
when Topsy, a beloved pet of Lily Dale was one of the horses
that fell through the ice on Cassadaga Lake during “Ice Harvesting”. The horse was eventually taken from the icy waters
and transported up South Street to the Leolyn Woods and
buried. Today there is a special place where Topsy is buried
as well many cherished pets of the residents of Lily Dale where
their memory and spirit can live on.
Please join us for a short memorial service to honor our beloved
pets that have transitioned into Spirit but remain dear to our
hearts forever. You may honor your pet that has passed into
Spirit but is not buried in the cemetery by bringing a photograph and short prayer or story to share during the ceremony.
We will be able to leave a small pebble or flower in remembrance of our beloved pets.
Please join us in music, prayer, and joy for the lives we shared
with our companion animals.
From a Spiritual perspective we are once again reconnecting
with what we have known since the beginning of time – that we
are and always will be interconnected with animals and nature.

MEDIUMSHIP DEMONSTRATIONS
Demonstrations of mediumship are included in the gate fee and are
held three times a day during the week. You are asked to remember
that these services are part of our religion and to treat the services and
those who serve with the same courtesy you would in your hometown church. Visiting and student mediums may be invited to serve
by making their interest known to the chairperson of each event.
Private consultations may be obtained with a medium by making
personal arrangements. The only mediums permitted to give private
readings on the grounds are those who have been registered by
the Lily Dale Assembly. A list of those registered mediums may be
found on the boards located on the side of the Auditorium and the
entrance to The Leolyn Woods at the Inspiration Stump pathway.
By special arrangement with the board, Guest speakers who are
mediums may give private consultations only on the day they are
working in the Auditorium. Appointments with guest mediums must
be made through private arrangements.

Recommendations for Readings
True success is a three-way connection between the medium, client
and spirit. Arrive at the session with a positive and open attitude. It
elevates your connection. Please arrive promptly as most mediums
prepare themselves by quiet time and meditation prior to an appointment. Respect the process of each medium, and their abilities
to bring loved ones and their messages.
Let the medium know if you understand as well as if you need more
clarity. Confirmation and validation are helpful to the outcome of a
successful reading. Please ask clear and focused questions.
If you are unsure about anything, ask the medium to explain. A
medium realizes when the connection is over. Please do not prolong
the session, when the contacts are closed. Occasionally a medium
and client may decide that another medium may be more suitable.
Be truthful and courteous.
A successful reading will uplift and inspire you and the medium. It
often includes the philosophy of Natural Law, contact with loved
ones, guides and teachers, as well as prophecy.
Mediums and their guides are not fortune-tellers. You are guided
with free will that allows you to make choices in life.
This is a sacred and honored opportunity for you to have evidence
of eternal life and inspiration through verbal healing. Be grateful for
the guidance it provides.
INSPIRATION STUMP
Inspiration Stump is a spiritual retreat found at the end of the calm
and quiet trail of the Leolyn Woods. It is not unusual to become more
aware of the spiritual energies while in this open and receptive state
at the Stump. You are invited to participate in the services held twice
a day in the grove at no charge. Demonstrations of mediumship
are presented by the mediums giving short messages to those in
the audience. These services have been held since 1898. As well as
possibly receiving a message of meaning at Inspiration Stump, you
may well renew your own Spiritual energies. Spiritual awareness is
available to all. Please show consideration for the mediums who are
working and for those who are receiving messages by refraining from
unnecessary noise or movement that disrupts the flow of energy.
(In the event of inclement weather, a bell will be rung throughout the
community to indicate location of service.)

FOREST
TEMPLE
The Forest Temple, located
on East Street, is an area of
tranquility. It is here that messages from Spirit are delivered
through mediums that are registered on the grounds as well
as those who are visiting or are
students. The Temple has been operating since 1894.
Like Inspiration Stump, Forest Temple is an area of spiritual, emotional and mental upliftment. Services are held at the Forest Temple
daily at 4:00pm. There are no Forest Temple Services on Sundays.
(In the event of inclement weather, this service will move indoors.
Bell will be ring to indicate location.)

HEALING TEMPLE
Chairperson: Barbara Sanson Welcomes You
Daily Healing Service: Mon.-Fri.: 10:30-11:30am and 7-8pm;
Sat.: 10-11:30am and 7-8pm; Sun.: Noon – 1pm and 7-8pm.
Dedicated to the principles of spiritual healing, the Healing Temple
was opened in 1955. It has remained a place of peace and solitude for
all those who come to renew
their energies through healing
or quiet meditation and prayer.
We welcome you to our daily
services and invite you to experience the healing energies
channeled through any one
of the men and women who
serve at the Temple. The doors
are open to serve all who enter.
Love Offerings graciously
accepted for the continued restoration and care of the Temple.
Spiritual healing is offered twice daily at the Healing Temple. The
Temple is the only place on the grounds where healing is approved
and endorsed by Lily Dale Assembly. All healers must be approved
to serve the Temple, and have received training in spiritual healing
as recognized by Spiritualism.
For further information, please contact the Healing Temple Chairperson, Barbara Sanson.
The Lily Dale Healing Temple offers prayer shawls for your Spiritual
Healing experience, or to gift a loved one who is in need of prayer
and Spiritual Healing. Each shawl has been blessed in healing by
the Healers of the Healing Temple. These shawls are available in
a variety of beautiful healing colors. They are embroidered on one
side of the shawl near the bottom saying, “Blessed in Healing at the
Lily Dale Healing Temple.” To learn more about the shawls, please
call Barbara Sanson at 716-595-2676.
SUGGESTIONS FOR A HEALING
This is a guide for receiving a spiritual healing. It will help you open
your heart and mind to receive beautiful, channeled energy from any
one of the healers.
• Please be respectful by remaining quiet prior to and during the service.
• When you receive a healing, relax and enjoy the experience.
Your awareness can be greater if you relax, place your feet on
the floor, hands in your lap, with palms turned upward. Breathe
in and out slowly several deep breaths and gently close your
eyes. RELAX.
• The true value of spiritual healing is not always measured immediately, although you may verify and recognize immediate
change, healing energies will remain with you indefinitely. ALLOW.
• There are many healers who serve the Temple. They each have
their own unique gifts of healing. If you have any questions, they
will be happy to assist you after the service. EXPECT GOOD.
• Before receiving, ask God’s healing source to remove all
obstacles from your path so you may receive. ASK.
• One healing per service is appropriate. BE PATIENT.
• Spiritual healing is not a substitute for medical treatment.
• You are not expected to discuss your condition or problem with
your healer, however, general information could be helpful.
• Remember to give thanks for the healing energy brought to
you through your healer. GRATITUDE. “Laying On Of Hands” is
an old art of healing. Many cultures all over the world use this
helpful healing technique to direct energy from the God source.

soul cards, we first work with our own soul
energy, then soul to soul, and spirit to spirit
strengthening and deepening our connection to ourselves, to others here and in the
hereafter.
In addition, through a led meditation exercise we move into a place in Spirit, experiencing a healing and enlightening reunion
with loved ones in Spirit as well as friends
and acquaintances in our Soul Group.
As our time together winds down, Karen will
give everyone a mini soul reading.

MAKING OF THE MANDALA
Immediately after the Opening Ceremony
the monks start drawing the line design
for the mandala. Few expressions artistic
talent will have such an impact on you
life as viewing the Mandala. In Tibetan
it is call dultson-kyll-khor (which means
mandala of colored powders). Throughout its creation, the monks pour millions
of grains of sand from traditional metal
funnels called chakpur.
Construction of the Mandala begins at the
center and works outward, as the Mandala
is made in the spirit of impermanence and
non-attachment, to be washed away. In
this the Tibetan Buddhist Monks build
planetary peace a grain of sand at a time.
Monday, June 29
CLOSING CEREMONY
10:00am, Fire Hall
$45.00, Limit of 150, ticket required
The monks conclude their creation of the
mandala with a consecration ceremony.
During the closing ceremony, the monks
dismantle the mandala, sweeping up
the colored sands to symbolize the
impermanence of all that exists. When
requested, half of the sand is distributed
to the audience as blessings for personal
health and healing. The remaining sand is
carried in a procession by the monks, accompanied by guests, to a flowing body
of water, where it is ceremonially poured
to disperse the healing energies of the
mandala.

Spiritual journey!
Part and parcel of the etheric form are the
chakras and the aura, hence much will be
offered as to the location of the chakras,
why some chakras are sluggish and others
revved up, what part the sushumna, ida and
pingala and the sutratma play in all of the
above. Don’t let the terms put you off. It
is a delightful, informative, and interactive
class. If you are a medium it will further your
understanding of what you do. Because
of the inclusive function of the endocrine
glands in this network (affecting the mental,
physical, and emotional physical self) doctors, psychologists, social workers, nurses
and the curious may well find valuable information concerning the causes and cures
of illnesses. If the class chooses we can also
discuss that great transition – death and
how all of the above comes into play at that
‘final’ moment. Come and enjoy.

Wednesday, July 1
THE ETHERIC BODY AND THE
FUNCTION OF CHAKRAS
Lee Two Hawks & Shadow Fox
$45.00 plus $10.00 material fee
Lee Two Hawks & Shadow Fox
$45.00 plus $10.00 material fee
This program is a study of the ‘vital’ body or
what is known as the etheric form without
which the physical body could not carry
life, consciousness, much less be aware of
the five senses. An etheric body vitalizes all
sentient forms. This course offers an insight
into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of the vital body,
discusses how the ‘permanent’ atoms
condition and qualify its construction, even
‘who’ does the construction.
With an awareness of the energies from
Cosmic, Universal, Spiritual or Natural
Laws, will help anyone who understands the
functions of these Laws. There are nuances
including a philosophy, a logic and syntax
of language that when applied can bring
results in an effective and efficient manner.
We will present ideas, perceptions, powerful tools, and keys that can help influence a
greater awareness of self. This presentation
is to efficiently and effectively penetrate
the veil that constricts the healing process.
17
There are Laws or energies that influence
EVERY aspect of human life and death. We’ll
show how to utilize their nuances for empowerment. Why do people fail or struggle
to create what’s really desired, yet, are successful in creating exactly what they do not
desire?
These teachings are the missing puzzle
pieces that have been elusive to many and
will work effectively in your life. It matters not,
whether you are looking to create a deeper
awareness of mediumship, healing, work, relationships, abuse, forgiveness: this class can
help you create a Destiny by Design.
• Energy; how to understand and apply
• Human logic as understood by the
Universe
• A more concise use of thought, language
and focus
• Past, present and future; how or do they
serve us?
• Broadening the spectrum of interaction
between self & others inclusive of a world
view, restructuring the caged thought
process that constrains Humanity
• Encompassing the Nuances of Laws
applied to self (tuning in)
• The “I am Phenomena” & “The 90 second
rule”
• Self-validation based upon vibrational law
• How to stop or avoid swimming upstream, so you do not arrive cold, wet,
late and utterly exhausted
Based on the book Want Not and be Open
to Receive by Shadow Fox.

SPIRITUAL
PARTNERSHIPS
Victoria Zaitz

$45.00
Our relationships reflect our inner states
of mind, life lessons, and personal growth
themes. Learning about ourselves through
relationships is a challenging and rewarding
path. As we progress through karmic soul
mates, soul connections, twin flames, and the
newly emerging divine partnerships, we are
learning how to love others and ourselves on
deeper levels. As we do so we are creating
new relationship templates that revolutionize our ideas about love and relating to one
another as we spiritually evolve and ascend.
Learn about how to create true spiritual partnerships, the different kinds of soul connection relationships, and how to deepen your
understanding of the most important force in
our universe – LOVE.

RECEIVING SPIRITUAL
MESSAGES THROUGH
NATURE & ANIMALS
Carole Obley
$45.00
What do the natural world and animals teach
us about the spirit world, the continuity of life
and self-healing? In this enlightening, interactive workshop we will explore the dynamics
of receiving both personal and universal messages from those in spirit using the conduits
of nature and animals. By simply opening our
hearts and minds to accept these messages,
we will receive confirmation of the continued
existence of the soul after death and our
unique role in the unfolding, spiritual evolution of humankind. During open discussion,
you are invited to share your experiences of
receiving this type of communication. Both
beginning and advanced students of mediumship will benefit from this workshop.
You will learn about and experience:
• How the natural world mirrors the laws
and unity of Spirit
• Types of communication received – sight,
sound and sentience
• The role of synchronicity in receiving
messages- confirmations and validations
from loved ones in spirit
• Nature and animals as teachers of the
natural laws of harmony, love, forgiveness
and non-judgment
• Self-healing through connection with
nature and animals
• Qualities and energy of some common
animals
• Symbolism
• A guided meditation to open and expand
your inner senses
• Discussion of your personal experiences
with this type of communication

GET A GOOD
READING &
MESSAGES!
Sara Sachs
$45.00
This workshop is designed to help a sitter get
the most out of readings and public demonstrations. First, we begin to explore the goals
desired in getting a reading. We will also look
at when in a person’s life a reading would be
appropriate or inappropriate. For example, it
may be wiser for a person to address grief
issues before going to many readers, only to
be disappointed when unrealistic expectations aren’t met.
Next, when the client is ready for a reading,
comes the selection of the medium. We will
examine what to look for in a website, and
what to observe in public demonstrations,
live and in the media. Students will learn that
there are different types of mediums to suit
their individual needs. This will be the time
in which we learn about taking messages in
public.
Finally, and most important, is the preparation for the reading. This takes the most
work and thought. I will help the students to
look into researching family history to learn
of loved ones they may not have known, or
slightly remember, but figure importantly
into their history. This can be done through
oral history, old photos, obituaries, and more.
Then, there’s the spiritual aspect of sending
healing thoughts through meditation. We
will also work on getting rid of expectations
that can sabotage a reading. This workshop
should enable potential clients to get a great
reading!
Sara Sachs is a professional Medium from
Pittsburgh, PA. Studying and serving at
message services in Lily Dale have developed her skills. Private readings and public

TRAINING YOUR
SENSES TO WORK
WITH SPIRIT
Celeste Elliott
$90.00
You are already intuitive! We all have intuition: It’s a simple fact. It’s animal instinct
and meant to help us survive. When we
focus and hone those skills they also help
us thrive.
Have you ever had trouble trying to decide
between two paths or wished you had an
immediate Yes or No answer about whether
moving forward with a project was a good idea?
Ever wanted to talk to someone on the
phone and be able to calm them by providing them with the information they need?
This all day course will help you do all this by
exploring your connection with the divine,
expanding and developing the intuitive
skills you already have. Most importantly it
will help you manage your intuitive ability
without being overwhelmed.
We will be reviewing the intuitive skills you
already possess as well as developing new
tools to read the signs and make you aware
of spirit moving in your life. Learn to feel,
hear, taste, sense and touch an answer.
We will use meditation, individual practice
exercises and one-on-one interactive exercises to help you, learn the tools to read
signs from Spirit, expand the skills you
naturally have to better link with Spirit, and
receive immediate answers to questions.
Intuitive skill is meant for use in everyday
problem solving and as part of a spiritual
practice.
Celeste Elliott was born and raised in N.E.

STAGE PRESENCE FOR
MEDIUMS – WORKING
WITH STAGE FRIGHT
Colleen Vanderzyden
$45.00
Does the thought of giving public messages
fill you with dread? Does platform mediumship leave you nauseated, red-faced or
shaking? Unfortunately, stage fright affects
our Stage Presence.
How we present ourselves to an audience,
our Stage Presence, impacts our messages.
If we are so nervous we can barely focus,
it can be hard to listen to spirit much less
get an accurate, evidential message to the
recipient!
Part of stage fright is that many people have
never learned how to present themselves
confidently in front of people. Learn how
to project an air of confidence even if your
whole body is screaming, “run!”
Colleen Vanderzyden has been performing
professionally and speaking publicly for
over 30 years. She has a thorough knowledge as to how stage fright works and how
you can work with it to your advantage.
You will practice platform mediumship in
an encouraging, supportive atmosphere
gaining specific, practical skills, including
mediumship techniques you will be able to
rely on to develop a strong, confident Stage
Presence.
An assured, poised Stage Presence will
help you better connect to spirit to provide
clearer, more meaningful messages.
Colleen Vanderzyden is an inspirational
speaker; Lily Dale registered medium, certified healer, professional violinist and music
teacher. Extensively trained in many healing
methods and techniques, she is a member
of the Sound Healer’s Association and is in

path, she created a CD (Guided Meditations
for Self-Realization) and card deck (Practical

KARMA TO DHARMA READING/
HEALING GALLERY
Carmen Carignan & Polly Jo Labbe
$45.00
During this event, Carmen Carignan and
Polly Jo Labbe will work with the groups
and individually. Each will randomly come
to you and read your energy, giving you
insight into your situation and facilitate
healing. The group will also benefit deeply
from these insightful readings. There will be
meditations and channeled healing for the
group as well.
This is for healing and movement of Karmic
Energy to Dharma. Karma is the law of cause
and effect. Many think Karma means you will
suffer bad luck in the future because of your
past. This is a gross simplification of the way
Karma effects our lives, but it is sufficient for
a short answer. Dharma refers to the underlying order of the cosmos and is often used
to mean “The Way” or “The Path’, meaning
the right way to live and study to achieve
lasting happiness.

Don Scott

This workshop draws from the Elixir Light
Qigong system founded by Master Robert
Peng. Elixir Light Qigong incorporates
traditional Buddhist and Taoist practices
to help individuals living a modern lifestyle
develop their full potential and realize
their deepest nature. Buried deep inside
the body there are three energy centers.
The gentle movements and meditations
introduced in this workshop are designed to
awaken, empower, and integrate the three
important energy centers that regulate your
wisdom, love, and vitality. When these three
qualities are activated and harmonized you
awaken the person you know deep inside
you could be.
You will learn and experience:
• Theory of the 4 Golden Wheels
• Four Golden Wheels Movement Exercise
– to deepen the connection between
your internal energies and the energies
of Heaven and Earth
• Connecting Universe Meditation – to
reorganize your energy field
• Hologram Palm – empowerment of
energy points
• Central Meridian Breathing

EMBRACING THE SPIRITUAL LIFE
Sara Chetkin & Brecht Saelens
9:30am-4:30pm, Octagon Building
$90.00
What does it mean to lead a spiritual life?
Spiritualist principles state that God is all
there is. Countless teachers have affirmed
that we are divine. How can we apply this
truth? If we are divine, why aren’t we totally
trusting and peaceful? If you are interested
in answering these questions, join us in
exploring the self and uncovering the belief
systems that prevent us from realizing our
divine nature. Know thyself, and you will
know peace.
Topics Covered:
• Emotions as temporary experiences –
can you experience emotions without
getting lost in them?
• Personal Responsibility – you have the
power to choose your experiences,
actions and reactions.
• Creation and Manifestation – letting
go and learning to be receptive to the
loving influence of divine intelligence.
Exercises
• In-depth investigation and analysis of the
self in a loving environment.
• Guided meditation.
• Dream analysis.
• Empowering exercises to strengthen you
to walk your path with awareness and
grace.
• This class is for anyone interested in
learning practical applications of Spiritualism and experiencing more peace and
enjoyment in life.

One of the most remarkable features of Old
World supernatural custom is its survival and
perpetuation in New World America’s paranormal report and experience. This tradition
is especially well preserved in families, and
perhaps most powerful among Americans
of Scottish and Irish ancestry.
Witches, banshees, curses, changelings,
after-death visions and Little People... the
most common figures and features of Celtic
literature and folklore make their appearance in North America, specifically upstate
New York. It would figure.
For the Romans and just about everybody
else, the Celts were the possessors of
“The Second Sight.” They were the Native
Americans of Europe, at least in regard to
matters of psychic ability, spirituality, and an
attunement to the force and sacredness of
landscape. Based on the interviews in the
files of Mason Winfield, upstate New York’s
supernatural historian, this informative, inspiring lecture takes us into the halls of the
ancestors and back again to the imaginative
legend of our own shores.

Deborah King was a successful attorney
in her twenties when she was diagnosed
with cancer. This began a quest for health
that would radically change her life. Her
amazing remission at the hands of a healer
led her to leave the corporate arena for
the field of energy medicine, where she
mastered ancient and modern systems,
ultimately developed a powerful energy
healing technique of her own.
A New York Times best-selling author,
energy healer and spiritual teacher,
Deborah has developed her powerful gifts
through nearly three decades of global
study and is hailed as the premiere Master
Healer of our time.
Through her numerous books, live workshops, TV appearances, and her popular
radio show, Deborah has guided tens of
thousands of people to tap into a higher
level of consciousness, trust their intuition,
and heal themselves in a way they never
thought possible.
In the process, many people discovered
a new path to healing as their own innate
healing abilities were awakened. With
Spirit as her guide, Deborah created a
powerful and hugely successful online
video certification course for those who
want to use their gifts not just to heal
themselves, but also to heal others – even
the world!
Deborah’s New York Times best-selling
Truth Heals, Be Your Own Shaman and

journeys into the powerful esoteric world

STRESS RELIEF FOR
MIND, BODY & SPIRIT
Paul DiFranco with
Andrea Bussinger
$45.00
Stressful situations in our relationships,
family, finances, and work-life are unavoidable. Yet it’s the way we handle stress which
can make or break our physical, emotional,
and mental health. Like Dorothy with her red
slippers, we all have the power to change
the way we deal with stress, by learning a
few simple techniques.
Neural pathways in the brain have much to
do with how we deal with stressful situations.
Under stress, the brain typically reverts to
fear-based patterns. These patterns serve an
2015 Workshops
evolutionary function to protect us, but end
up shutting down our creative thinking and
problem solving abilities, causing conflict in
our relationships, and leading to physical
illness.
The good news is, with practice, you can
permanently change the way your brain
handles stress. Research is showing that
simple practices can re-wire your brain,
improving everything from your relationships, to work performance, and physical
and mental health. Join us for a sampling of
stress relief exercises.

INTEGRATED ENERGY THERAPY &
HEALING ANGELS OF THE ENERGY
FIELD – BASIC LEVEL
Jim Broyles & David Galik
$180.00 plus $19.00 for workbook paid to
presenters – Limit of 18
This Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) training
class is a powerful two days of self healing and
energy therapy certification training using
the powerful energy of angels to heal yourself
and others. In this class you will be attuned
to a powerful angelic ray that activates your
12-strand Spiritual DNA. You will then learn
how to heartlink to the energy of your angels
and use their energy for healing. You will learn
how each primary human emotion is correlated to a specific physical region of the
body and human energy field (cellular memory
map), as well as how to use the IET integration
points to clear them. Integrated into this
class will be meeting and learning to work
with the nine healing angels of the energy
field: Ariel, Raphael, Gabriel, Celestina,
Faith, Cassiel, Daniel, Sarah and Michael.
Students not only learn how to connect with
the powerful energy of the Healing Angels of
the Energy Field but also learn how to direct
the energy of these same Healing Angels
into the nine IET cellular memory areas for
healing of yourself and others.
Jim Broyles, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist
who works in private practice in the
Columbus area. Jim is also an IET Master
level Teacher/Practitioner.

Practitioner, a certified clinical hypnotherapist

allows you to easily and effectively pull the
energy out of cellular memory imprints in
the four primary layers of the human energy
field. Furthermore, the Intermediate Level
attunement will serve to enhance your abilities as an energy intuitive.
Using the Intermediate Level IET techniques, you can focus your energy therapy
abilities on the specific clearing of energy
imprints resulting from physical trauma,
emotional trauma, limiting beliefs, and
past-life trauma. Furthermore, as a diagnostic tool, Intermediate Level IET techniques
allow you to identify which component is the
primary influence for each energy blockage.
Pre-requisite: Completion of Basic level
IET class.

INTEGRATED ENERGY THERAPY –
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
MARI is based on archetypal symbols and
colors that are chosen intuitively to reveal
a literal “picture” of the person’s psyche.
Because the person “sees” where they are,
change can occur much more quickly – often
in one session. It is non-verbal and nonthreatening, providing information that is
based in both traditional and transpersonal
psychological perspectives. It is positively
oriented and is the best representation of
what psychology should be – the study of
the soul and the whole person – not just the
study of the mind.
$199.00 plus $12.00 workbook fee paid to
presenters – Limit of 18
The Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) Intermediate Level greatly expands beyond
the Basic Level by providing enhanced
techniques to clear energy imprints from
the human energy field. Furthermore, the
Intermediate Level energy works not only to
clear energy blockages that occur with the
context of the current lifetime, but extends
to include the ability to clear energy blockages which result from the karmic effects of
past lives.
The Intermediate Level attunement you
receive as part of your IET training expands
your human energy field to receive and channel even higher frequencies of integrated
energy. These higher frequencies of energy
enhance your ability to clear the imprints of
traumas throughout time and space. The attunement activates the secondary chakras in
the palms of your hands which causes them
to attract and clear energy imprints in the
human energy field of yourself and others.

MARI
Michele Takei, Ph.D.
9:00am-5:00pm daily, Octagon Building
$499.00 plus $285.00 materials fee paid to
presenter
MARI is the BEST psychological assessment
that exists today. It is a whole-brained instrument that is based in the concept of wholeness. MARI is similar to an intuitive reading
– only with MARI the intuition comes from
the client, not the medium. MARI accesses
all four functions of consciousness – thinking,
feeling, sensing and intuition – as well as information from both the left and right brain.
MARI is a Jungian-based tool developed by
Joan Kellogg, an art therapist and intuitive.
Her pioneering work, grounded in archetypal and cross-cultural studies greatly
enhanced our basic understanding of the
mandala as a powerful tool in both therapy
and assessment. MARI provides in-depth
understanding of drawn mandalas and essentially systematizes mandalas, i.e. one
MARI may reflect countless drawn mandalas.
This course includes lecture, power point,
and experiential mandala art. Participants
will develop interpretation skills using both
mandalas and the MARI Card Test. Participants will also learn how to use MARI as a
therapeutic tool and have the opportunity
23
to hone their new skills. While the course
will be of great benefit to art therapists and
mental health professionals, the material
is relevant to other disciplines as well. The
MARI training is far more than learning
about an excellent tool. It is a meaningful,
fun and informative experience!

• It passes beneath the radar of the
conscious ego to reveal the inner truth of
the individual as it really is
• There is a remarkable inner connection
between symbols and colors and what is
going on in the individual’s life

MAGICAL MYSTERY
TOUR WHERE SPIRIT
& SCIENCE MEET
Linda de Jesus
Mon./Thurs./Fri. 9:00am-12:00pm,
Tues. & Wed. 9:30am-4:30pm,
Leolyn Garden Room
Are psychic skills and mediumship special
gifts that are granted to just a chosen few,
or are they inherent in our human and spirit
essence, waiting dormant in the brain to be
awakened?
24
In this workshop we’ll unite science and mysticism, and become explorers of consciousness, the brain and its spiritual function as it
applies to mediumship and psychic states.
We’ll also look at and recreate some early
and recent scientific research experiments,
and learn about some brilliant psychics and
mediums who have been tries and tested
over the years.
As the course unfolds, you will be surprised
and amazed as you unlock your psychic and
mediumship potential to reach higher levels
of awareness.
Day 1 – BRAINWAVES AND ALTERED
STATES
Learn about consciousness and brainwave
states in psychic work and mental and
physical mediumship. Discuss energy and
vibration, and how we receive information.
Experience altered states.
Day 2 – BUILDING PSYCHIC SKILLS
Understand the aura, chakras, intuition, and
the psychic as a “built in” information-gathering system and a stepping-stone to mediumship. Exercise your basic psychic abilities:
Precognition, Telepathy, the “Claires,” and
Telekinesis. Practice techniques to facilitate
the flow of psychic information.
Day 3 – SPIRIT COMMUNICATION
See how “survival physics” explains the
change called death, and illustrates how
mediums can connect with the spirit realm.
Shift your awareness to establish communication with those in the spirit world.
Strengthen your link with spirit and receive
evidence of survival.
Day 4 – HIGHER STATES AND THE
ONENESS
Is there a “God Spot” in the human brain?
Discover what science tells us about spirituality, oneness and the human brain. Experiment with meditation, chants, mantras and
sound environments as vehicles to achieve
expanded states of awareness.
Day 5 – THE POWER OF PRAYER
Glimpse into the field of “Neurotheology,”
and consider the questions: “Do regular
prayer and communion with God change
the human brain? Can prayer heal? How do
words and thought affect the human body?”
In this final session, we continue to seek and
experience non-duality and elevated states
as we allow the power and influence of the
Divine to work freely through us, creating
healing and change in us and in those we
seek to help.

HEALING THROUGH
THE HEART CHAKRA
Joan Bellus
$45.00
If your Heart Chakra is out of balance, it is an
indication that you and your life require an
adjustment. Healing the Heart is very important to everyone’s overall health. The body,
and everything we experience, is a pictorial
representation of what we believe to be true
about ourselves – thoughts are things.
The chakra centers are like energetic motors
within the Spiritual/Mental/Emotional and
Physical Body comprising the physical
energy field we usually identify as “Me”. The
Heart Chakra, which is the 4th Chakra, is in
the center of the chest. It displays the color
ray green for healing and pink ray of Love. It
is linked to healing, love, compassion, confidence, trust, expansion, acceptance, openness and inspiration. We will be sharing and
participating together in Spiritual Healing,
various meditation styles and simple yoga
techniques to access Higher Dimensions of
Universal Love, Compassion and Healing.
This process will enable you to release old
patterns and beliefs that are holding you
back from feeling more Love in your life.
We will share with you some techniques to
consciously mend many aspects of yourself
that have been abandoned, neglected, hurt
and unloved.
This workshop will assist you in placing yourself on your Journey of Happiness through
a deeper understanding of the emotional
Healing Power of Love. Please bring an
undecorated Journal, as we will also be
creating our own Healing Journal.

CHAKRA ENERGY
BALANCING WITH
CRYSTALS
Dean Vaillancourt
2:00pm-5:00pm, Assembly Hall –$45.00
What are chakras and what does it matter if
they’re balanced or dysfunctional? Chakras
are energy vortices that transmit life force
energy to your physical body. Each chakra
governs specific bodily functions of the
organs in the body close to the area where
they are located.
In this introductory workshop, we’ll explore
each of the 7 major chakra energy centers
and how they can completely affect your
life, not only physically but also mentally,
emotionally and spiritually.
We will discover how to restore balance to
their functionality through meditation with
a variety of individual crystals specifically
assigned to balance or re-energize your
chakras including: Red Jasper, Carnelian,
Citrine, Green Aventurine, Blue Kyanite,
Lapis Lazuli and Amethyst.
This workshop will feature hands on experience with an introduction to sensing
the energy of a chakra and assessment of
energy centers.
No experience is necessary as this workshop
is designed to be an introduction to the
Chakra Energy system. Additional items will
be available for purchase.
Dean Vaillancourt has an innate and longstanding interest in rocks, crystals and
things of nature and could be considered to
be a veritable rock hound. With years of collecting and studying the “hard rocks” in life
and a deep seeded connection with Mother
Nature, the result is the opportunity to teach
and share some of that experience. Dean is a
nature loving, geo-intuitive shaman with the
understanding that the journey to spiritual
enlightenment begins when the student is
ready to take the first step and may also be
a destination not reached.

YOUR BELIEFS & HOW
THEY EFFECT YOUR
HEALTH
Paul Hodges
$45.00
Our health is influenced to a great extent by
our personal, cultural and religious beliefs.

This workshop explores:
•

WOMEN MYSTICS,
THEN & NOW
Vivian Garcia
$45.00
You know more than one mystic. No one
may call her that. She may not fit medieval
definitions. This workshop will provide you
with a useful understanding of the modern
mystic, those whom Carolyn Myss refers to
as “mystics without monasteries” – to help
you recognize and honor them, or perhaps
yourself.
After a guided healing meditation, we will
explore mystic voices, including that of
Amaldina of Vieques (in Spanish and translated). Written from 1929-79, Amaldina’s
mostly unpublished volumes of poetry,
essays and messages were entrusted to me
by her sister, my mother. I was 8 when I met
my aunt on my first trip to Puerto Rico. She
was “scary Titi Aurea” with two different
color eyes. Though I understood few words,
as Amaldina she transformed a little girl’s
fear to only love. Fifty years later, having
translated the words she made sound like
a song that day, I now consider that recital
my first brush with her healing powers. Titi
Aurea was Amaldina—a pioneer Spiritualist,
naturalist, healing medium, and mystic.
You will be asked to write down how [insert
name of the unheralded woman you already
have in mind] is manifesting her healing,
loving light. We will perform our own canonizing ritual in honor of our chosen ones, and
enter their names in Amaldina’s Book.

BRIDGING
THE GAP
James Van Praagh
2:00pm-5:00pm, Auditorium, $45.00
The awe-inspiring James Van Praagh
bridges the gap between two planes of
existence, that of the living and that of
the dead by providing evidential proof
of life after death via detailed messages.
During the 3-hour event you will enjoy:
• Discovering the process of
mediumship;
• A guided healing and enlightened
group meditation; and
• Random messages given to audience members from guides, family
and friends in spirit.
James Van Praagh’s popularity began in
the early ‘90s, on the NBC morning talk
show “The Other Side.” He went on to
author # 1 NY Times Best- selling books
such as Ghosts Among Us, Talking to
Heaven, Reaching to Heaven and Healing Grief. For five seasons, Van Praagh
was the co-executive producer of CBS’s
#1 drama “Ghost Whisper” starring
Jennifer Love Hewitt. Van Praagh’s message of hope has touched a great many
people due to his television appearances on such shows as Oprah, Larry King
Live, 20/20, 48 Hours, Chelsea Lately
and A&E Biography. You will be amazed
when you see James select people for
the audience to participate in the calling of spirits. Be sure to purchase your
tickets early because this one-day-only
event will definitely sell out.
Vivian Garcia is a retired university and law
school dean, constitutional law teacher and
attorney. She established a study abroad
program for Fredonia students at the University of Puerto Rico that led to her interest
in the subject of Espiritismo (the arguable
equivalent of Spiritualism) as practiced
there and in parts of South America and
Europe. Translating Amaldina’s volumes of
work led her to the holy place that is Lily
Dale, as well as back to the island holy place
in San Juan, where she discovered that her
aunt had served as a healing medium and
a sort of poetic messenger. Vivian’s formal
introduction to the study of Spiritualism as
a science began at that end of the circle, at
La Casa de Las Almas/House of the Souls.
It continues there, and with her privilege
to serve as a certified Spiritual Healer here
at the Healing Temple, the Church of the
Living Spirit, and The City of Light Spiritualist Church.

The White Owl Duo
Two sessions 9:00am-12:00pm or
2:00pm-5:00pm, Limit of 15 per session,
Lyceum Building
$45.00 per session
There is something truly magical about
bringing a “dead” piece of wood back to life
with the warmth of the human breath. Playing the Native American flute is an opening
into deeper expression of self because the
soul connection is undeniable. Marrying the
soul is each personality’s goal; they often
take decades to meld. The Native American
flute, possessing a mystical, haunting sound,
which summons spiritual energy, can be the
vehicle that makes the union possible.
Used for Spiritual Healing and Messages, the
Native American Flute has been described
as “Power, Meditation and Prayer through
Sound”. Those who feel drawn to its compelling sound often speak of the power of
this instrument to draw forth sacred personal and communal experiences. Much curiosity exists about the strength of this gentle,
yet hauntingly simple instrument that seems
to awaken primeval memories locked deep
within our souls. Is the experience of feeling
summoned actually the ancients calling to
us, or is it simply that our hectic lifestyles
make our soul long for meditative respite?
Perhaps it is both. Folks often speak of
feeling drawn into a trance-like state by the
native flute’s power to invoke altered states
of consciousness, and an overwhelming
feeling of universal love for all life forms.
There is a sense of the sacred that is almost
whispered. We welcome both music readers
and non-musicians to the class.
Laura Lee Perkins, CM and Kenneth L.
Green, CH, NAMMY finalists for Best Traditional Native American Recording, have
been awarded: 5 Artist-in-Residencies at
U.S. National Parks, 11 grants and they have
produced 5 professional CD recordings and
3 books. Perkins is a professional flutist,
educator and spiritual writer with Maliseet
ancestry. Green, of Mic-Mac heritage, is universally known for his beautiful handcrafted
flutes. The White Owl Duo has driven 72,000
miles researching, documenting and recording authentic Native American music.
They have taught Learn to Play Classes,
played concerts and presented educational
programs for the past 12 years throughout
the United States. This will be their second
appearance at the Lily Dale Assembly.

BE THE CHANGE
Paul DiFranco

Change your mind change the world. Your

may use to both clear blockages and then
seed the subconscious mind to shape your
desired future.

and how you can use it for transformation
and healing in all aspects of your life. Hypnosis is most commonly used to eliminate
unwanted habits and create peak performance. The applications are nearly unlimited! A few examples include: attracting love

overcoming fears, preparing for surgery,
child birthing, boosting confidence, weight
release, smoking cessation, relaxation, improving sports and academic performance,
public speaking and more!
In this program you experience a group
hypnosis experience and also develop a
self-hypnosis script for one area of your life
so that you may begin to use it daily. Bring a
pillow, floor mat or blanket, and eye covering if desired.

TURNING GRIEF’S
KALEIDOSCOPE
Cara Seekings
$45.00
Grief is a transition, a long slow painful timeconsuming healing process. Like a kaleidoscope, grief feels like a cylinder filled with
loose bits of glass that churn as the viewer
looks into one end and light creates a colorful, confusing unknown pattern at the other,
over and over again. Normal as we know it,
has ceased to be.
Grief work is most effective when it finds
meaning in loss. Exploring your understanding of the afterlife, by creating heart healing
27
rituals and debunking the “Grievers are
Sissies” and other fibs and myths on the
road to healing. By sorting out “Giving up
vs. Giving in vs. Letting be” and the 6 “R’s,”
it is necessary to shake the kaleidoscope
pattern into something manageable to
provide tools for grief work.
Cara Seekings is a Registered Nurse
Thanatologist with Hospice and a practicing

Discover who you are energetically…not
by description but by your relationship with
nature. Energy attunement, the most vital
aspect in facilitating healing, is a study of
movement, the natural expression of human
nature captured in: movement, yin/yang,
dominant qualities, behavior tendencies,
and thought and feeling processes.
Everything in the physical world is created
from 4 distinct energetic elements:
• In scientific terms: Nitrogen, Oxygen,
Hydrogen, Carbon
• In metaphysical terms: Air, Water, Fire,
Earth
• In states of nature: Gas, Liquid, Plasma,
Solid
• As elemental beings: Sylphs, Undines,
Salamanders, Gnomes
Each of these have a distinct movement
and vibrational quality that expresses in
everything in this world. We have all the
elemental aspects, but move through life
in the healthiest and easiest manner by
honoring the natural expression of one’s
dominant element.
Through lecture, laughter, self-expression
and meditation add Energetic Attunement
to your skills.

HIGHEST DIVINE
EXPRESSION
David Winfree
Do you have a desire to be the Highest
Expression of Divinity that Divine Mind
would express through you and as you in
this life? This workshop will guide those who
have such desire in the essential knowledge
and actions required to activate the higher
chakras (those above the crown) and how to
complete the energetic bridge between the
crown chakra and the 12th Chakra (Monad
or the Soul) so that the Divine energy and
consciousness may shine brightly within
you. The energy transmitted from David’s
field, and the Angels/Devas participating
with him, will initiate shifts in your energy
field, thereby enhancing your own capacity
to move more swiftly toward your highest
2015 Workshops
aspirations for Highest and Fullest Divine
Expression.
David Winfree is a realized expression of
Divinity. After many years on the spiritual
path, in 2006, David experienced a profound transformation, entering into a state
of deep inner silence and unity consciousness. Transformation continued, with a fuller
opening of the heart, the activation of the
chakras above the crown, and completion of
the channel between the crown center and
the higher centers of consciousness. Several powerful archetypal energies express
through him, including, “The One Who
Pours Forth Blessings, Grace, and Divinity”
and “The One Who Opens The Door for
Others.” David has worked for many years as
a spiritual teacher, presenter, writer, energy

SPIRIT CONNECTION
THROUGH THE ALPHA
LEVEL
John Rogers
$45.00
There are many ways to connect to the other
side of life that is called the spirit realm.
One such way is through the Alpha level
Technique - a simple approach that many
are not aware of today. Even many teachers
have never heard of this approach before.
In this workshop we will explore this method
and its application in developing a way that
will make your unfoldment as a medium a
lot easier. We will learn to travel through
four levels; each helping us to arrive at the
final level - called the spirit side of life. There
we will connect with the ones from the other
side; connecting with our personal spirit
guides and loved ones who have passed.
In this workshop you will learn not only to
use the alpha level but how to apply it to
your daily lives. Some of the things that we
will be discussing in this workshop:
• What is the alpha level and how do you
apply it.
• What are the four levels of this method
and what does each level represent?
• What to expect when we reach the last
level.
Rev. John Rogers has been a medium for
over thirty years, and the author of four
books: His latest is The Awakening Soul,
a Dialog From the Other Side Of Life. His
other books are: Positive Affirmations to
Live By, The Medium Within, and The Soul
Traveler. He has lectured in New England

INNER CHILD
HEALING
Marjorie Baker Price
$45.00
This dynamic workshop focuses on exploring your inner child as a key recovery and
self-healing practice. The child within is
the ongoing center of development and
empowerment. When we can safely, gently
and imaginatively connect with that center
we can profoundly release trauma, and
forgive. Forgiveness is a by-product, or
serendipitous response that always occurs
when we come to the end stage of grief
- acceptance.
The focus of this intensive workshop is
twofold:
• To “rescue” your child within from
wherever she or he may be “trapped” in
stages of unfinished grief
• To discover and develop your endlessly
and unconditionally loving inner spiritual
parent, who can profoundly partner with
your recovered and free inner child for
completion
These twofold multidimensional processes
restore and activate your true and empowered self in all aspects of your life. We
will include key concepts and the spiritual
self-recovery story of Marjorie’s recentlypublished and nationally distributed story,
“Merinda and the Magic Mirror: A Tiny Tale
of Transformation for All Ages”.
Through the nurturing and transformational
original guided meditations and journaling exercises in this workshop you will
discover and create, on a whole new level,
your higher self. You will greatly expand
your authentic sense of who and what you
are and where you truly belong. You will
miraculously create in your life what you
truly want and release what you come to
understand no longer serves your greater
good, from a whole new place of clarity,
trust and presence.

community health nurse, author, coach,

Mother Earth and Mother Sea enrich our
lives with beauty, wisdom, balance and
healing if we are attuned to look, listen and
perceive their messages. From the time of
ancient cultures to the Shaman of today we
find stones and shells used as tools for healing and divination. Sea shells and stones
are powerful tools for transformation. Each
seashell not only holds the energy of the
ocean but also of the ocean creature that
had consciousness and spirit when residing
in that shell. Sea shells are like minerals and
stones which have potential for healing. Sea
shells hold the energy of the ocean, the
primary source of where life began. Join in a
healing journey exploring the ways in which
sea shells and stones can promote healing
and awaken intuitive messages for you.
We will learn how specific shells and stones
assist in healing of mind, body and spirit.
• Bring vitality and new energy.
• Relieve stress and negativity.
• Promote balance and harmony.
• Receive inspirational messages.
This workshop will provide:
• Participants with a healing stone and sea
shell.

NATURE AS SAGE
Erika Larsen
$100.00
For photographer Erika Larsen, “Nature
is a place of solitude, respite and healing.
It is also a place of the unknown and the
otherworldly. The landscapes I engage have
become reflections of aspects of myself.
Within them I have begun the ongoing process of transformation. Nature has proven
to be a sage.”
This workshop will be an opportunity to
use the camera as a tool to commune with
nature and learn how to reveal her intimate
messages. Instruction will be given in how
to see and harness the light in order to
enhance your photographic capabilities.
Topics of discussion will include indigenous
cultures that live and work in tandem with
nature on a daily basis and how photography has been utilized in storytelling about
these cultures. There will be an “in the field’
workshop where we will immerse ourselves
into Lily Dale and the surrounding natural
elements and see what messages are revealed. After, we will share the images with
the group and discuss what has come to
light. A digital camera or cell phone with a
camera feature will be the only equipment
required.
Erika Larsen uses photography, video and
writing to intimately learn about cultures
that maintain strong connections with

CALLING IN THE
MEDICINE HEALERS
PATH TO WHOLENESS
Bridghid Murphy
2pm-5pm, Assembly Hall
$45.00
To heal is to align with the light of who
we truly are. Broken and wounded are no
longer words for our world. When we take
a look at the nature of healing, we discover
that the medicine is actually in the dis-ease
itself. Illness becomes a doorway into the
light of who we are. What does this mean
and how can we transform illness? During
this workshop, we will develop new relationships with dis-ease and begin transmuting
what no longer serves us. Would you like to
come with us? We will honor where we came
from, and focus on new tools that take us
where we want to go. Whether you are interested in your own healing, or are a practitioner who guides others, you will leave this
gathering with an illuminated awareness of
what is possible.
Together, we will:
• Become a Sacred Container: Grounding,
Center & Illuminating our Core Energy
• Redefine illness & create new agreements with healing
• Incorporate our guides & ancestors in
our process
• Experience the influence of the heart &
activate it’s healing potential
• Open to gratitude and it’s role in
manifesting wellness
• Explore the concept of receiving & it’s
influence on our well being
• Discuss Shamanic Healing - soul retrieval
and calling your spirit back
Please bring a sacred object to share on the
altar. It will be returned to you at the end of
the day.

FROM THE SPIRIT
REALMS

$45.00
Join Medium Joseph Tittel for a special afternoon of Divine Messages From The Spirit
Realms
• How do the deceased communicate with
us and what are the signs to look for?
• How can I ground my energy & open
myself to receive messages from Spirit?
• How does a Medium receive information
from spirit?
These are just a few of the questions that
will be covered during this special event
with Psychic, Medium & Author, Joseph
Tittel. Joseph will explain how to recognize
and identify the signs your deceased loved
ones are sending you, along with how you
can open yourself to receive those messages on your own. Joseph will guide you
in a short meditation to ground your energy,
drop you into love & aid you in opening to
receive messages from Spirit. He continues by connecting with Spirit & delivering
personal messages to members of the
audience, offering them the opportunity
to witness how inspiring and validating it
can be when a message from their loved
one wants to be revealed. It is incredible
to experience how Spirit manages to get
messages to participants without Joseph
coming directly to them. Perhaps a divine
message from spirit is waiting for you. The
event will conclude with a short segment
designated for questions from the audience
who have not received a message. Book
signing will follow the event.

INTEGRATED ENERGY THERAPY
– ADVANCED
$199.00 plus $12.00 workbook fee paid to
presenters – Limit of 18, need gate pass
This class builds on all of the knowledge
and techniques learned in our Basic and
Intermediate Level trainings. The Advanced
Level training is focused on helping you
live your soul’s mission and bringing your
dreams alive as well as helping others to do
the same.
The Advanced Level attunement expands,
realigns, and restructures the 4th pair
(soul profile) and 5th pair (soul cluster) of
your 12-Strand DNA. Once attuned to the
Advanced Level IET Ray, you will have the
ability to discover your soul’s mission and attract members of your soul’s cluster to help
you live your soul’s mission and bring your
dreams alive. Every soul incarnates with a
special mission that is not only perfect for
that soul, but is an integral part of the higher
divine plan. The Advanced Level energy
attunement will open you to a deeper connection with your 8th chakra (called the
soul star) where the complete plan for your
soul’s mission is stored. You will learn how
to tap into the soul star energy and better
understand your soul’s mission through the
creation of a vision board. You will also learn
about the four E’s of living your soul’s mission and how energy blockages can prevent
you from living your mission and incorporate
muscle tension-relaxation techniques to
release deep energy blockages that block
you from aligning with your soul mission.
This Advanced Level technique of Soul Star
Clearing lets you work directly with the 8th
chakra to activate the energy of the soul’s
mission and focus angelic energy to bring
your dreams alive.

Meditation deepens your spirituality, improves your ability to get messages and
heightens your consciousness. When you
sharpen your awareness, you strengthen
your etheric body – your “human energy
field” – also know as the aura. This allows
you to better connect with others, your
higher self and the spirit world through
astral projection. In this fun and fascinating
class, you’ll visualize your energetic field,
and see how your thoughts and emotions
affect your aura. Find out which chakras
help us tap into and project our higher
consciousness. We’ll also do intriguing yet
simple meditative exercises that will allow
you to project your awareness into a picture,
and then travel to your home, or even enter
the spirit world. See how interesting it is to
be “out of your mind!”

GRANDMOTHER
SPIDER AND THE
WEB OF LIFE
Kathleen Lenhart
When the Great Mystery awakened from
the dream of living, Grandmother Spider
started weaving the Web of Life that connects all creatures as Relations. We are each
intricately woven into this energy web that
is in turn affected by all of our thoughts and
actions.
This session is an introduction to the Web
of Life shield teachings. Spider will explain
the process of creating a shield and share
the stories behind the Web of Life teaching
shield with the accompaniment of the heartbeat drum. We will explore nine Medicine
Wheels within the message of the shield.
Beginning with the creation of the Universeto the seven layers of Earth and seven layers
of Sky where All Our Relations live – to the
prophecies for the future – the teachings
of the Web of Life Shield speak of how to
renew our connection with the heartbeat of
Mother Earth, live in harmony with All Our
Relations and create a world of peace.
It took Spider four years to paint the Web
of Life Shield after receiving her vision.
When Medicine People receive a vision, it
is expressed as a dance, song or image so
that it can be shared in a way that speaks
to the viewer on every level of awareness.
Everyone who hears the story and explores
the images on the shield will come away
with a personal message. Come, join our
circle and let the shield speak its story to
you. This workshop is a meditative journey
around the Medicine Wheel. Dress comfortably and bring a pillow or blanket to sit on.

THOSE WHO CARE –
THE INVISIBLE ELDERS
& THE GLOBAL SHIFT
Michael Bastine
In the wake of 2012, there are many of us
who have the sense that some sort of cycle
may have turned. The world feels like it’s
spinning in a different direction. Unexpected forces could be at work. But how can the
living community of like-minds impact this
massive process? How can we reach the
transcendent association of disembodied
beings the Native elder Mad Bear called,
“Those Who Care”?
Many people talk about the vital changes
that have been set into action. Not many
present suggestions for positive action. Algonquin mystic and teacher Michael Bastine
summarizes traditional Native teaching for
an ever-shifting world and advances it into
2015 and beyond.
Michael Bastine, Algonquin elder, teacher,
culture-keeper, and author developed
insights from his years of tutorship with
Algonquin, Hodenosaunee (Iroquois), Hopi,
and Cherokee mentors. His adventures
since have brought him into contact with
wisdom-keepers from all over the world,
including South American and Tibetan
traditional teachers. For years he has been
preparing us for the new cycle based on his
own conviction. His Lily Dale presentation
of 2015 distills these insights into a spiritual
tour guide to the changing climate of the
world post-2012. Michael is co-author (with
Mason Winfield) of Iroquois Supernatural
(Bear & Co./Inner Traditions International,
2011)

KYAT HEALING
CIRCLE
Rembrandt Lee Dittrich

Rembrandt will start with a Didgeridoo
performance, followed by some instruction
on the nuances of the Kyat Healing Arts and
how it works. Continued with some handson practice where RemBrandt will perform
Trance Healing’s on those participants
who desire. This class is for beginners and
advanced students and is great for anyone
who wants to heal themselves, heal others,
or get healed. This is an informational and
hands-on practice.
Healing Arts aid in the movement of lifegiving energy known as Chi. It increases
vitality, health, and happiness. Healing
can be very therapeutic and life-changing.
Healings consist of laying of the hands on
exact points of the body to open energy
pathways otherwise blocked. A full treatment usually consists of an hour, but for this
event we will be doing mini-sessions of 10
to 15 minutes.
The first half will consist of instruction of indepth knowledge of the Kyat Healing Arts,
including Shielding and Grounding, the
navel chakra, double-double helix, and the
main chakra line. We will observe how these
relate to healing as well as to each other.
The second half will be hands on practice
of grounding flows, self-application, and
healings on willing participants. Followed
by a group healing, trance healing, and
channelling.
RemBrandt Lee Dittrich, a white Jamaican
Healer, uses Caribbean Culture to Explain
and Practice Concepts of Complimentary Medicine, Holistic Health, and Eastern
Medicine. He has fully transitioned in and
out of his Caribbean “Patois” accent which
he uses to explain complex metaphysical
and spiritual concepts in a simple, easy and
fun to understand way. He plays the spiritual healing didgeridoo, a 60,000-year-old
Australian Aborigine wood wind instrument.
The didgeridoo creates a very deep, holy
sound that resonates with conscious people
world-wide. RemBrandt practices Kyat
Healing Arts, laying of the hands on energy
points to open up the energy blockages,
and didgeridoo sound healing.

INTERDIMENSIONAL
OUT OF BODY TRAVEL
Carol Gasber
$45.00
As we move through this life we are usually unaware of our existence and experiences in many other dimensions, which
constantly affect our everyday living. As our
body sleeps we travel through this physical
world reality and the many dimensions of
spirit with ease. We also travel into other
universes, other “physical” reality systems
that exist outside of our own universe. We
actually seem to function as multidimensional, multi-universal beings while awake
and asleep.
In this class we will learn how all of this is
possible and how this affects our lives physically, mentally and spiritually. We will learn
not only where we travel to but also where
we are now. Discover the hints and symbols
our mind gives us and how we can gain
control of our multitasking existence. Come
learn about the multiplicity of yourself and
what a glorious being you are. Let’s expand
your awareness and learn that you can use
all of the total YOU to create harmony and
balance in your existence. These few hours
will be a beginning in the discovery of total
self and how amazing you really are. (Previous attendance at Carol’s “Out Of Body Explorations – Astral Travel” workshop would
be helpful.)

SEEING PAST LIVES
WITH YOUR SPIRIT
GUIDES
Connie Griffith
$45.00
Are Past Lives really connections to previous
life experiences in Earth time? Or are they
omnipresent experiences we can tap into
to learn about our present lives? Whatever
your belief, we do have the ability to travel
out of time and into another experience.
45
In this gently led class, you will be guided
to a multi-level awareness state to meet and
feel the protection of your Spirit Guides.
With their permission and protection, you
can then attain a state of awareness of other
lives through time. You will be guided to
be aware of your own life challenges and
triumphs, of those who have been your life
teachers and soul mates, and ways to fulfill
your life mission.
The sessions will include three guided
meditations to allow you to experience various levels of relaxation and awareness. The
intentions are to meet your Spirit Guides
and receive their loving messages, to use
etheric travel for teaching and healing,
and to experience a “past life” as a tool for
self-discovery.
Bring a pillow or mat & blanket, and wear
casual clothes to be comfortable lying or
sitting during the meditations.

INTRODUCTION TO
TRANCE AND INSPIRED SPEAKING
Susan Barnes
9:30-4:30pm, Lyceum Building
$90.00
Trance work is an important aspect of
mediumship. This phenomenon is one to
open the mind to receive spirit messages.
There are numerous levels in the state of
trance ranging from the deep sleep of entire
unconsciousness to a feeling of simple quietude or passiveness. Being in a state of
complete trance is not very common. More
often, trance is the suspension of ordinary
consciousness of external surroundings.
Often mediums enter a mild state of trance
when they work. Trance can best be described as a semi-conscious state in which
the entranced person has lost the ability to
employ his/her thinking powers.
In this state, mediums can bring forth the
philosophy of Spiritualism. For example,
Spiritualist platform speakers can enter this
state to bring forth messages from Spirit.
Learning to open up to Spirit to express
Spiritualist ideas is the focus of this course.
Students will engage in exercises to develop trance and trance speaking skills.
These skills include inspired lectures and
bringing forth spirit guides to speak about
Spiritualism.
Course topics Include:
• Inspired Speaking exercises
• Understanding working with Spirit
inspired speech
• Working with Spirit, inspired speaking
versus trance
• Allowing Spirit to work through you
• Enabling Spirit Guides to Speak
• Preparing for Platform Work

SPOON BENDING
Ron Nagy
$40.00
During this Workshop the bending of
Spoons is accomplished by holding the
metal with the hands and slight pressure is
applied when the metal feels soft. During
our lives we have programmed ourselves
with many negative thought patterns that
block higher energies that empower us.
One must learn how to let go of all former
limitations…”To let go and let God“.
This workshop will explain the basic mind
over matter aspects of bending metal
objects and also explain how the mind
and body can react together and cause
harmonious health conditions. This workshop is intended to be fun and also provide
experiences previously believed to be
impossible that should reduce some of the
artificial limits we have placed in our lives.
It may seem remarkable that with very little
training one might be able to accomplish
this extraordinary proof that belief in spirit
and mind over matter is more powerful than
certain realities.
Show. Anne has been also been featured
in over 40 books including the biography,
The Priest and the Medium written by
Suzanne Giesemann, as well as the unauthorized biography entitled, There is a

keep their drawings to themselves. The

we transform ourselves. Instead of running
from our past, we dance toward our future.

AROMATHERAPY
MEETS CHINESE
MEDICINE
Timothy Miller
$45.00
Chinese Medicine is an ancient tradition,
having been used for at least 2,000 years.
Essential oils are the “jing” or “essence” of
each plant. As such, they resonate at very
high frequencies and can be used to stimulate vitality and the flow of qi. This creates
a harmonious state of health and wellness.
In this class, you will learn how to use essential oils to balance your Chinese medicine
meridians. You will learn how to locate
acupuncture points that are used for headaches, insomnia, stress, anxiety, nausea, and
other common conditions. You will learn
which essential oils can be applied to these
points, as well as different application techniques. This class is designed for all – for
those with little to no experience in either
Chinese medicine or aromatherapy to the
expert of both!

TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE
Gail Heil
$45.00
Do you find yourself lost in the busy-ness
of every day life? Work may control your
thoughts. Family and friends, relationships
and organizations may control your time.
You say yes to everything that comes along
in order to be “helpful” or maybe even to
be “liked”. However, in all those “yes” replies, you may have found that you have lost
yourself. You may have found that you’ve
lost the joy in life. You may have decided
that you NOW want to change all that! If
this resonates with you, then join me in
this workshop that will assist you in linking
to the God of your own understanding to
empower YOU to “Take Back Your Life”. It is
time to manifest all that your heart desires.
In your spiritual life, in your family life, in
your work life, and in your social life, you can
and will take steps toward living the life YOU
want. Your journey back is awaiting you! ~
Author Iyanla Vanzant says, “You can delay,
avoid, and resist spiritual growth, but you
cannot fail. Everything you experience is a
lesson you must learn. Do not discount your
lessons. Healing and spiritual growth are
natural processes, so keep it simple.”

In this workshop you will:
• Begin healing within by noticing patterns
that are holding you back
• Focus your thoughts in meditation to
help you manifest the life you want

spiritual path

TEAMWORK
MEDIUMSHIP:
COLLABORATING WITH
SPIRIT TO UNITE &
EXPAND YOUR SPIRITUAL SELF
Lauren Thibodeau
2:00pm-5:00pm daily, Assembly Hall
$90.00, materials fee of $20.00 paid to
presenter, Limit of 40
You’ve heard it said that mediums never
work alone. That’s absolutely true! But did
you realize that by learning to act as the
“captain” of a team of guides and teachers,
your mediumship can attain new levels of
clarity, detail, and insight?
Developed by “Dr. Lauren” Thibodeau,
TEAMWORK MediumshipSM focuses on key
foundations to build a reliable, helpful team
to assist you in further developing your
spiritual nature. Whether for your personal
growth or professional practice, you will find
the structure of TEAMWORK MediumshipSM
simplifies and streamlines your mediumistic
encounters. (Plus, it’s fun).
Together we will explore how to access
spiritual guidance, how to develop boundaries—no well-trained medium “must” pass
on a message to someone in a grocery store
checkout line, as one example—and how to
unpack multilayered and textured elements
in received spiritual guidance. We’ll also explore how to discern if the received content
is literal or symbolic – or both.
Delivery of message content in both public,
short-greeting form and private sittings will
be practiced. Additionally you’ll develop
an understanding of how you personally
best receive spiritual guidance, based on
your unique “intuitive style.” The goal?
Increased confidence and competence in
your ability to access, interpret and present
solid, accurate spiritual guidance.
The program includes group exercises,
guided individual explorations, one-on-one
practice opportunities, personal assessment
and coaching in receiving spiritual guidance.
Please note that single-day attendance
is not an option for this program as Day 2
builds heavily on Day 1. Enrollment is limited to 40; early registration is encouraged.

Evidential Spiritualist art is a workshop that
focuses on the creation of Spiritualist art.
Spiritualist art is distinguished from other
forms of spirit art because of the use of evidence. Proof of the continuity of life creates
Spiritualist art. As a genre of art, Spiritualist
art reflects the philosophy of Spiritualism
and its ideals. Typically, Spiritualist art is the
drawing of portraits that resemble people
in spirit. However, portraits can emerge in
automatic drawings, auragraphs, and spirit
inspired works. The purpose of this course is
to explore the nature and practice of Spiritualist art through hands-on exercises and
mediumistic experiences.
• Understand the meaning of Spiritualist art;
• Learn the similarities and differences
between spirit and Spiritualist art;
• Examine traditional methods for creating
portraits;
• Practice the combination of art and
mediumship;
• Experiment with different forms of
Spiritualist art;
• Know what is evidential and what is not;
• Explore different forms of evidence;
• Provide a foundation for students to
explore their own Spiritualist art.
51
Students will work to create Spiritualist portraits. These portraits are the foundation of

Students can bring their own art materials,
however it is not necessary, because materials will be provided. Come and explore how
mediumship and art can be combined to
demonstrate evidential messages.

LAUGH-A-YOGA
Jeanne McLaughlin
2:00pm-5:00pm
Lyceum Building
$45.00
Laugh- a Yoga® is an ancient new idea for
reconnecting us to our true self. Through a
yogic laughter session, Yoga nidra (guided
deep relaxation), pranayama (yogic breathing practices) and laughing meditation we
can reach a profound level of peace, joy and
relaxation.
Laughing for no reason and playing laughter
games will release endorphins and T-cells
to immediately boost energy, immunity,
creativity and confidence. It is believed that
laughing can help alleviate depression and
may help the grieving process by releasing
deep seated emotions. Discover why prolonged intentional laughter is being recognized by the medical world as a therapeutic
method for a healthy lifestyle.
Laugh-a-Yoga® or laughing yoga is from
Hasya yoga found in ancient Sanskrit.
Laughing yoga is an easy yoga, not a traditional yoga with hard poses, but laughing
and playing games that everyone can do
regardless of age or ability.
Although you can do Laugh-a-Yoga® in a
chair you can bring a Yoga mat or blanket,
and a small pillow for under your head or
knees to lie on the floor.
Jeanne McLAUGHlin, LAUGH is in the
name, is a certified Laugh-a-Yoga® Teacher,
who trained with Bharata Wingham at
Yogaville, Buckingham, VA. She teaches

BUILDING POWERFUL MEDIUMISTIC
COMMUNICATION
Mavis Pittilla
$90.00
Join Mavis Pittilla, one of the most experienced and knowledgeable Mediums of the
day to enhance and extend the way you
blend with Spirit to enhance and enrich your
communication with the Spirit World.
She will help you understand the process
the Spirit World goes through in order to
communicate with you, and learn the best
way to help in order to ensure that both you
and the Spirit are happy with the communication so that a healing between the two
worlds is achieved.
All too often mediums believe that they go
through a process of attunement in order to
receive information without acknowledging
and understanding that the discarnate have
to go through a similar process in order to
link with the medium.
Without this knowledge and understanding
the depth of evidence that is possible can
never be achieved and the outcome for all
is never satisfactory.
Mavis always uses the analogy of “feeling
like a bottle of champagne” when referring to the joy of achieving a wonderful link
with a Spirit communicator and being able
to relay the depth of love to a recipient on
earth. Join her in this “celebration” as you
begin to fully understand Spirit communication and feel the “bubbles” in your soul.
Mavis Pittilla is a former senior tutor at the
world-reowed Arthur Findlay College in the
UK, where she has worked for over forty
years. She received her training from the
colossus of Spiritualism, Gordon Higginson.
She therefore fully appreciates the need
for structured, intensive training in order to
ensure that the “Essential Aspects of Mediumship” are fully understood and absorbed.
She works all around the world demonstrating and teaching. She also runs her own very
successful mentorship programmes both
on-line and physical with students from all
corners of the globe.

Leolyn Garden Room
$200.00
Shirley Smith, who provided this workshop
for years, is a hard act to follow. Nevertheless, I will try to make this weekend an
experience that meets Shirley’s naturally
loving and empowering standards.
Because of my background with classes
in feminine psychology and spirituality as
well as the MARI (Mandala Assessment
Research Instrument), this weekend will
focus on helping women create their own
Heroine’s Journey.
The weekend experience will be presented
in a very whole-brained way. Information
will be provided on the history of women
and how Lily Dale itself figured prominently
in advancing the status of women. We will
explore how women know what they know
–and why. Traditionally, women have been
considered to be the “less noble sex.” The
most current research, however, reveals
why this is wrong. Once you understand it,
you will be far better able to change it for
In addition to the left-brain information,
participants will immerse themselves in
numerous right-brain experiences. Various
mandala creations will be provided that
will not only help you get in touch with your
own creativity, but also provide the opportunity to better understand your true Self
as well as address and correct any issues
that are no longer necessary. You will also
experience lifelines, guided meditations,
and your own goddess archetypes.
Hopefully, you will leave this weekend
with a sense of playfulness, greater selfunderstanding and feeling more like the
Goddess and Heroine you truly are! Lily
Dale is where the women’s movement
really started. It is the best place to do this!

LILY DALE ASSEMBLY HISTORY
The History of Lily Dale is one of courage,
stamina and dedication. It all began in the
year 1844 – preceding the Hydesville manifestations by the Fox Sisters. In the village of
Laona, William Johnson invited Dr. Moran a
mesmerist from Vermont, to lecture before a
group of interested people. Mr. Johnson the
son of a minister was the father of Marion
Skidmore who became a great leader for
Spiritualism at Lily Dale. At that time Jeremiah Carter, physically enfeebled, had sought
to be treated by Dr. Moran. Unfortunately
Dr. Moran had to leave before such could be
applied. Mr. Johnson suggested that they
try the experiments, demonstrated by the
Vermont doctor. The results were startling.
Mr. Carter became entranced. An entity
said to be a Dr. Hedges spoke to the people
present – giving messages from spirit and
demonstrating the laying on of hands.
The advent of the Hydesville manifestations
strengthened the purpose of the group
and they termed themselves Spiritualists,
Liberals and Free Thinkers. The group met
regularly to discuss their beliefs and practice their healing and mediumship. Many
great speakers and mediums had their early
beginnings in Laona.
In 1855 the religious
society of Free Thinkers
was formed in Laona,
NY.
In 1873 Willard Alden
who owned a farm and
stagecoach stop along
the east banks of the
Cassadaga Lakes had
a visit from Jeremiah
Carter who insisted
that spirit voices kept
continuously urging him to go to Alden’s
farm and start a camp meeting. This was
agreed upon with Mr. Alden and the group
met there for summer picnics and camp
meeting. (this area is now known as the
Leolyn Hotel and Woods). After Mr. Alden’s
transition, his heirs became dissatisfied with
financial arrangements, so the spiritualists in
1879 decided to purchase land and move
their location. Twenty acres of land was
purchased adjacent to the Alden farm from
John Fisher at the price of $1,845.00. Mrs.
Amelia Colby was asked to name the Association. In 1903 the name was changed to
The City of Light and in 1906, The Lily Dale
Assembly: named for the abundance of lilies
on the lake.
Men and women worked tirelessly sideby-side, felling trees, clearing brush and
making winding paths through the forest.
The grounds were surveyed for lots. No lot
was to be sold outright; lots were leased
for 99 years or rented for the season. The
dedication service was held at Lily Dale
under a cradle of boughs known as The
Bough House, fashioned from entwining
branches and flowers. Rough-hewn logs
were for benches.
The first speaker at
Lily Dale was Elizabeth Lowe Watson.
She was a dynamic
speaker, a liberal and
suffragette.
Financial problems
were
experienced
from the early beginning of the camp,
this acted strangely
enough, not as a deterrent, but as a challenge to go forward and work harder towards the anticipated goal. The first order
of business of the camp was the discussion
of building a permanent Auditorium. This
was accomplished in 1883, and later remodeled in 1901. The seating capacity was
twelve hundred. There has been many times
during Lily Dale’s history that people stood
three deep outside the auditorium in order
to hear the lecture.
Preceding the auditorium, in 1881 a Lyceum
was formed by Thomas and Tillie Lees with
the children meeting in a tent. They felt that
training of the young was important. In 1928
the Andrew Jackson
Davis building for the
Lyceum was built and
gifted to Lily Dale by
a group of prominent
spiritualists. In 1894 the
Alden House was purchased by Mrs. Abby
Louise Pettengill and
renamed The Leolyn
after her granddaughter. The Assembly later
purchased the Leolyn
from Mrs. Pettengill.
A hotel was built in 1880. It originally was the
horse barn. It is known as a “hung suspension building”. When additional floors were
needed each floor was raised and the new
additions built underneath. It was known as
the Grand Hotel and renamed the Maplewood Hotel in 1903.
Today the Maplewood Hotel stands serenely, her old time charm still intact, overlooking the lake enticing the occupants to relax
on its wide porch, and watch the ducks and
swans glide by. Many philosophical subjects
have been debated and aired on the Maplewood porch. Bit by bit these sturdy pioneers
plodded forward – roads were built, sewers
installed, lights became a reality. The first
Library was held in a tent in the park in 1886.
Then in 1888 was moved to the second floor
of what is now named Assembly Hall. Today
it stands proudly as the Marion Skidmore
Library on Cottage Row housing thousands
of the finest books on Spiritualism.
in 1890 and when all
schools
were
consolidated in 1937 it was
used for the Community
Club. The school building is now the museum
and houses the largest
collection of spiritualist
memorabilia in America.
The Octagon Building
was also built in 1890
and was reserved for
classes, arts and the teaching of proper
dancing. It housed the Junior League for
years then became the Mediums League
Building. The Healing Temple was built and
financed by Louis Vosberg at the direction
of T. J. Kelly’s guide. This National Missionary was one of the most outstanding
mediums that served the Lily Dale platform.
Incidentally, the famous actress Mae West,
a friend of Jack Kelly visited Lily Dale at his
invitation.
The original Fox Cottage was moved from
Hydesville, New York, a gift from Benjamin
Bartlett of Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania
and placed at Lily Dale in 1915. Tragically the
cottage burned to the ground in the morning
of September 1955. Fortunately the Peddler’s
trunk and family Bible were saved.
In 1898 Lily Dale had it’s own newspaper,
The Sunflower. The editor was William Bach,
who with his wife Evielena erected the Sunflower Pagoda. The United States Government in 1888 established the Lily Dale Post
Office ensuring the inhabitants not only the
convenience of it’s service but recognizing
Lily Dale on the map.
From its lowly beginning of twenty acres,
Lily Dale now owns more than one hundred
sixty acres. Lily Dale has a splendid volunteer Fire Department and E.M.T. group.
These men and women give freely of their
time and efforts to protect the camp.
Beyond doubt Lily Dale has lived up to that
early promise. The roots of Lily Dale stand
firmly in the past upholding spiritualist
philosophies and always keeping it’s eye on
the future. Lily Dale is a place for individuals
to discover themselves and join with others
who are on the same path. Lily Dale has
comforted the bereaved, demonstrated the
truth of immortality, and shown others a way
of life known as the Religion of Spiritualism.
The Assembly Hall, famous for it’s thought
exchange and class work came into being
in 1888; the school building was erected
