SUMMARY:Physical Phenomena & Trance
DESCRIPTION:Location: Leolyn Garden Room \nAn introduction to the study and practice of trance and physical mediumship\, focusing on both its history and its contemporary exploration. Participants will learn about the phenomena traditionally associated with physical mediumship—such as trance states\, raps\, apports\, table tipping\, transfiguration\, and spirit photography—while considering how these manifestations have been observed\, tested\, and interpreted over time. These mini-workshops are designed as exploratory courses\, with an emphasis on curiosity\, experiential learning\, and open-minded discussion. \n6/24 What is Physical Mediumship? \n7/1 Introduction to a Séance Room \n7/8 Spoon Bending\, Trumpets & Physical Phenomena \n7/15 Energy Work and Table Tipping \n7/22 Trance States and Transfiguration Maplewood Azure Room \n7/29 Spirit Guides & Trance Messages \n8/5 Cabinet Work \nNo Program \n8/19 Spirit Art & Photography Maplewood Azure Room \n8/26 Technology of the Séance Room \nWhat is Physical Mediumship? \nExamine the historical development of trance and physical mediumship from the 19th century to present. Learn the conditions believed to foster physical phenomena\, including circle work\, harmony\, and energy development. \nIntroduction to the Séance Room \nWill discuss the role of the medium\, sitters\, and spiritual energy in producing physical and trance effects. We’ll explore the ethical considerations and responsibilities involved in physical and trance mediumship practices. \nSpoon Bending\, Trumpets & Physical Phenomena \nSome mediums have used spoon bending as an example of how physical energy can be influenced by consciousness\, sometimes likened to other physical mediumship phenomena. A spirit trumpet is a cone-shaped device\, often made of aluminum\, cardboard\, or lightweight metal\, traditionally used in séances. \nEnergy Work & Table Tipping \nEngage in guided exercises to enhance sensitivity\, group attunement\, and awareness of subtle energies that can move physical objects. Table tipping is a séance practice where a group sits around a table with hands lightly placed on it\, and the table is believed to move under spiritual or psychic influence\, often used as a means of communication with the afterlife. \nSpirit Guide and Trance Messages \nTrance messages are communications delivered by a medium who enters an altered state of consciousness (a trance). In this state\, the medium’s normal awareness recedes\, allowing spirit guides or discarnate entities to speak directly through them. \nCabinet Work \nA medium’s cabinet is a small\, enclosed space used in séance\, especially in physical mediumship\, to help focus spiritual energy and create the right conditions for phenomena to occur. The enclosed space is believed to help concentrate psychic and spiritual forces. \nSpirit Art & Photography \nBoth Spirit Art and Spirit Photography aim to provide visible evidence of unseen spiritual realities. One works through the creative channel of the medium\, the other through the mechanical eye of the camera\, each blending faith\, artistry\, and technology in the search for proof of the afterlife. \nTechnology of the Séance Room \nThe séance room has become both a sacred space and\, in some cases\, a high-tech laboratory. Music is used to create atmosphere or aid trance states. Computer-assisted mediumship\, EVP\, and virtual online seances\, among other topics\, will also be discussed. \nPresenter BioDr. Susan B. Barnes\, CSNU is a retired communication professor from RIT and certificate holder from the Spiritualist National Union. She was a tutor on SNUi and currently teaches mediumship and spirit art classes for AREI. Susan is author of Unfolding Physical Mediumship and Visual Spirituality.

SUMMARY:Opening Ceremony | Monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery
DESCRIPTION:Lily Dale Assembly opens its 147th season with a truly extraordinary week-long visit from the monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery — one of the most revered institutions in Tibetan Buddhism. From June 20 through 24\, the monks will be in residence at the Lily Dale Fire Hall on East Street\, where they will create a sacred Medicine Buddha Sand Mandala — an ancient ritual of breathtaking beauty and profound spiritual significance. \nThe sand mandala is one of Buddhism’s most powerful symbols of impermanence and compassion. Over the course of several days\, the monks will painstakingly construct the mandala using colored sand — and then\, in a deeply moving closing ceremony\, dismantle it and release the sand into Cassadaga Lake\, sending its blessings out into the world. \nThroughout the week\, visitors are welcome to come and watch the monks at work\, learn about the sand and tools they use\, and witness a tradition that has been practiced for centuries. \nSaturday\, June 20: \n9:30–11:30 AM — Opening Ceremony: The preparation and creation of the Medicine Buddha Sand Mandala begins (Lily Dale Fire Hall) — $55 \n5:30–6:30 PM — Community Picnic Benefit: Share a spiritual meal with the Monks in the Picnic Pavilion next to the Fire Hall. Hosted by the City of Light Spiritualist Church. $10 Love Donation — all proceeds benefit the Monks. \n8:00–10:00 PM — Performance of the Medicine Buddha Puja with Blessings (Lily Dale Auditorium): A sacred evening for healing\, well-being\, and peace — featuring Tibetan long horns\, trumpets\, percussion\, and meditative chants practiced during auspicious times to call in the higher powers of good. — $30
