Groups & Lyceum

A Spiritualist Awareness Group is a beginner-friendly learning circle — a structured environment to explore the philosophy and principles of Spiritualism, gently begin sensing spiritual presence, and ground yourself in the Seven Principles.

It is not primarily about giving messages — it is about understanding the self, the spirit world, and the natural laws of spiritual unfoldment. It helps people build confidence, develop discernment, understand spiritual boundaries, and prepare for deeper development work.

Our Open Circle is a welcoming space where anyone — newcomer or experienced — can sit in the energy and gently practise spiritual awareness in a supportive group setting.

A Closed Development Group is an ongoing, structured circle for committed students who are actively developing mediumship, psychic awareness, and spiritual sensitivity within a stable and ethical framework. Unlike an open circle, it has fixed membership, regular weekly attendance, agreed standards of conduct, progressive structured learning and confidentiality.

Sessions may include attunement and power-building, sitting in the power, blending exercises, structured mediumship practice, evidence-based communication, spirit communication ethics, distinguishing imagination from inspiration, control and discipline, peer reflection, and integration of spiritual philosophy.

Rooted in the teachings of the Spiritualists' National Union and the Seven Principles, ensuring development is ethical, safe and aligned.

The Spiritualist Lyceum movement was founded by Andrew Jackson Davis in 1863. Davis reasoned that "what is good for angels surely must be good for man" and so established a Lyceum for the children of earth.

The Lyceum is a branch of the Spiritualists' National Union with special responsibility for spiritual training. It now embraces anyone of any age who wants to learn more about their own spiritual nature and the spiritual nature of the universe — caring for the mental, moral, social, physical and spiritual needs of its members.
