June 27th – July 3rd – Reverend Catherine Sabine

Reverend Catherine Sabine is a National Spiritualist teacher and a Commissioned

Healer; and has been a member of the National Spiritualist Association of Churches for

15 years. She is the founder and pastor of the Spiritualist Church of Eternal Life in

Sabattus Maine. She is a retired Big Cove First Nation sun dancer in New Brunswick,

Canada. Catherine has a master’s degree in Education Administration and has taught

workshops and classes in Native American reservations, Universities, Churches and

Camps throughout New England and Canada since 2005.

Monday June 28th Workshop: Dough Boy

This is the Dough Boy’s mediums workshop. It begins with Catherine explaining how she

receives medium messages. Her explanation which includes her drawing of a dough

boy, diminishes the mystery and explains why mediumship doesn’t have to require an

innate ability. Catherine will reassure participants that mediumship, like so many other

abilities, requires the experiences gathered through practice. It is through practice hat

mediums gain both talent and self-confidence. Using her Dough Boy drawing she

ēdemonstrated the process. Participants will themselves be given an opportunity to

discover their ability to receive a medium message. The workshop’s intent is to remove

any fear, especially the most common, the fear of being wrong. The workshop’ intent is

to allow participants to be wrong, while celebrating when their readings are received as

being correct.

Friday July 2nd Workshop: Materialization

Materialization is understood to be physical mediumship in which there is a temporary

appearance or visualization of human or object form. In this workshop, a participant will

sit within a portable enclosure identified as a cabinet. Only the sitter’s face will be visible

to the other attendees. While the cabinet is occupied, workshop participants will on index

cards what they visualize during the experiment. Later, these observations will be

compared. Previous workshop attendees have been surprised by the number of those

present experiencing the same visualization.

Thursday July 1st Class: Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance is an ability to gain information about a person or object through extra

sensory perception. The term comes from the French word clair (clear) and voyance

(vision). Clairvoyance is one of the major psychic abilities and translates to “clear

seeing”. Being Clairvoyant means you receive psychic impressions visually thru images,

colors and visions. This class will help you to determine if the images, colors and visions

you experience are messages from those departed!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

blocks to health, happiness and spiritual growth. Jean is honored and grateful to serve

Spirit.

Monday July 12th Workshop: Using the Chakras to Connect to Spirit

Spirit Responds to Mediums when we approach them. By having the tools of how to

work with the chakras, we as mediums can find a new clarity of connection and we can

learn to hold the connection for an extended time. Different chakras correspond to

different mediumship and/or psychic gifts. By learning the differences we can have more

control over our mediumship.

Friday July 16th Workshop: Past Life Regression

Participants will be led through a series of guided imagery exercises that will release

disharmonious energies that no longer serve self, center us, and ultimately restore each

individual. Jean’s spirit guides will then clear everyone’s chakras and auric fields. Then

the class will be led to a divine light and the Akashic records, which is where all of our

soul information/past lifetimes are store. A record keeper will bring us an excerpt of a life

to show us for a particular reason. We can gain understanding of why we are

experiencing something in this life that we brought forward whether it is a gift, an illness

or an unresolved lesson. When the class returns to our present day reality, all will have a

feeling of peace and well-being.

Thursday July 15th Class: Inspirational and Automatic Writing

Spirit has used writing as a means of communication and creativity through mediums,

authors and individuals from all walks of life. Evidence of automatic and inspirational

writing are found in historic text and current literature. Learn the difference between

inspirational, automatic and independent writing. By using a few simple techniques, you

will add to your spiritual expressions and gifts. We will do a short mediation to prepare

our energy to meet with the spirit realm. Then we will do several exercises to give

participants an opportunity for several messages from spirit. No previous experience is

necessary and you may surprise yourself with how easy it can be.

Saturday July 17th Workshop: Blending with Tree Energy

You are invited to an outside workshop where you can communicate with nature and

enjoy the beautiful view of the bay. Reverend Mandeville will discuss how historic

mediums used their time in the forest to develop their connection to spirit and develop

their clairaudience. Participants will learn how to use specific chakras to develop the

“claires” and will learn how to blend with trees. Each tree offers something different as

does the various parts of a tree. Even the leaves have something to say. Come join us

for an informative and fun workshop and come hug a tree!!

the invention of the cell phone, home computers, the internet, the advances in world

September 4th – Sound Healing Meditation – Fred Maerkle

Imagine being immersed in a sea of soothing sound.... Come join us with Fred Maerkle

and experience a deeply meditative and relaxing experience of vibrational sound healing

with Tibetan singing bowls, Cherokee healing drum, quartz crystal, bronze, and other

sound instruments. The acoustics within the chapel are AWESOME! No experience

required. As you relax while seated in the pew, the vibrational frequencies will surround

you in a cocoon of sound that will take you to your own inner space of healing. This is

quite effective because it influences our emotional bodies as well as our physical bodies.

Stress is the underlying cause of many physical conditions. Emotional imbalances are at

the root of many physical diseases and when we heal our emotional bodies, the physical

symptoms disappear. Sound and emotions are deeply connected.

Fred Maerkle is a member of the National Spiritualist Church of Norwich, a Morris Pratt

student, and is pursuing a pastoral path within the Spiritualist church. He was a Priest in

his former church for over 33 years and brings that experience to the table. Fred also

has his own holistic healing practice, Zentastic Wellness, and is a Usui Holy Fire II Reiki

Master, Kundalini Reiki Master, Certified Biofield Tuning practitioner, Certified VFRT

therapist, and Tibetan Singing Bowl Master Healer
