We are a group of people interested in the religion of Spiritualism.
We meet once a month for services in which local Spiritualist ministers and mediums are invited to address the group and give messages.
Spiritualism is a science, philosophy and religion:
Regardless of how the goal is framed, and the philosophy behind it, wisdom traditions ultimately offer us techniques for personal transformation, for moving beyond our personal shell.
This can be for the sake of growth, service, transcendence, overcoming suffering, union with a higher principle, internal freedom, happiness, etc.
Spirituality:
​
In simple terms, spirituality is a worldview and a way of life based on the belief that there is more to life than what meets the senses, more to the universe than just purposeless mechanics, more to consciousness than electrical impulses in the brain, and more to our existence than the body and its needs.
​
Spirituality usually involves the belief in a higher form of intelligence or Consciousness running the universe, as well as life after death. It exists to satisfy the deeper human thirst for meaning, peace, mystery, and truth.
