On Tuesday July 5th, I will be teaching the 'Voices of Mediumship' class.  (Read my updated comments below***) This weekly event is hosted by the Mediums League and is a special attraction in Lily Dale's summer program.  It truly is 'voices' of mediumship because each week a different medium shares their unique version and insights into spirit communication. More importantly, this event provides an encouraging atmosphere for mediums and guests to talk about the process of Spirit communication and spiritual development. Location: The Azur Room in the Maplewood Hotel, Lily Dale NY Time: Tuesday 7:30 to 9:00 pm Cost: $10 per person Hope to see you there! ***Update: Tonight, I shared some of my personal insights into mediumship and spiritual development.  Many of those who attended asked great questions and I could tell they enjoyed learning about 'Willa-style mediumship'.   Thank you to all who attended - such wonderful sharing of experiences an

A man marching with Dr Martin Luther King Jr in Alabama explained his experience by saying,"My feet were praying." That is how I felt on Saturday morning as I participated in the Salvation Army 5K Walk/Run. When I first decided to take part in this event, I knew it was a worthy cause and that by walking in it I would be supporting many individuals and families. Proceeds from the event went to benefit the Salvation Army Anew Center in Jamestown NY which provides comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence, rape, and child abuse.  As I walked, I prayed.  I prayed for all those who need help in those ways.  And even though there were other people around me walking and talking, I silently prayed.  And because these physical actions accompanied prayers, I was experiencing  Embodied Prayer .  "My feet were praying." You see, our bodies can be places where prayer is actively happening. We can use our bodies to express ourselves in spiritual ways - and th

I am growing a Sunflower this year.  A friend gifted me with a few sunflower seeds recently, so I am excited to see what comes of it. Some of you may haved noticed that I have sunflowers in the background of my website . . . well, there is a reason for that. Sunflowers are a special symbol for Spiritualists: “As the Sunflower turns it’s face to the light of the sun --- so let Spiritualism turn the face of humanity to the Light of Truth”. In 1928 the Sunflower was adopted as the official badge of International Spiritualism at the conference for the International Federation of Spiritualism. And here's a bit more history as it relates to Lily Dale ... i n 1898 Lily Dale had it’s own newspaper, The Sunflower . The editor of the newspaper was William Bach, who with his wife Evielena erected the Sunflower Pagoda .  The Pagoda sold books, took subscriptions to Spiritualist publications, and sold supplies such as stationery, ice cream, candy, soft drinks, novelties and cigars. It ser

Freedom from all unhappy conditions comes through knowledge - a knowledge of Spiritual Law. It is as Jesus Christ said, "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." How do we begin? "The fear of the Lord (law) is the beginning of wisdom." [Lord means law - if we read the word Lord as Law, it makes many passages in the Bible much clearer.] Obedience precedes authority so the law must be obeyed before it can become man's servant. When handled ignorantly, it becomes man's deadly foe. So remember to use Spiritual Law with care. And remember that the more Man knows, the more Man is responsible for, and a person with knowledge of Spiritual Law is responsible for his own Good. Next, recognize God's will . Have you been forcing events with your own strong personal will? Or are you flowing with God's will? Anything forced into manifestation through personal will is always "ill-got" and has "bad success." Desire
