Healing Circle

Wednesdays at 7:30 P.M.
Led by: Terence Mulligan

Wednesday evenings at our “Church & Center for Metaphysical Living” are dedicated to those in need of healing. One or more of our ISD-Certified Healers are always present to help all who attend achieve well-being. If you have experienced the Healing Portion of our Sunday Service and wanted more, this is it. An hour and a half of informal, loving gathering of like-minded people where the healing energies that are channeled are truly unbelievable.


An Evening of Trance Healing with  Eamonn Downey, OSNU, TSNU

Monday, July 7, 2008 from 7:30—9:00 PM

The Institute for Spiritual Development

15 Sparta Ave.

Sparta, NJ 07871

 

Fee:  Members $15; Non-members $20

Due to the nature of the demonstration, we kindly ask that you arrive prior to the beginning of the session.  The doors will be closed promptly at 7:30.  No one will be admitted once the session begins.

Advanced registration is suggested. Seating at the door will be limited. Please send a check made out to the Institute for Spiritual Development, and mail to The ISD, 15 Sparta Avenue, Sparta, NJ 07871, attention Karen. Please indicate on the check that it is for Eamonn’s Trance Healing Evening.

An exciting evening waits all who attend, as Eamonn will be giving a Trance Healing Demonstration, and will be choosing several people from the audience to be recipients of the healing energy!

In order to facilitate a deeper effect for the Healing Treatment, Eamonn has been working this past year with healing energies via the Higher Consciousness. During these sessions, a significant superimposing of varying spirit influences over his face, and in the aura, of those spirit workers who appear to be a part of the healing team has been witnessed.

We can learn to heal ourselves too! He will also be teaching an effective self healing technique to everyone!


Eamonn is really looking forward to seeing you all again.

Introduction to Hypnosis

Sunday, August 10, 2008 from 1:00 PM—4:00 PM

Led by:  Garry Gewant 

There are many ways in which hypnosis can be helpful in a person’s life.   

With the aid of hypnosis it is possible to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, recall repressed memories, eliminate fears (such as public speaking), reduce pain, or enhance your abilities in sports, in the arts or academically.  In addition, hypnosis is an integral part of “PARTS” Therapy and “Past Life Regression.” 

Join us for this interesting, “mind-expanding” workshop—and bring your family and friends. 

There will be a nominal $5.00 charge to attend—with all of the proceeds going to benefit ISD.

Help us with the Sparta ISD Building Fund

 

What a joy it has been for all of us to bring spiritual life back into our beautiful church building which was built in 1868. While we haven't mentioned our building fund too much since moving into the building in October 1997, Reverend Myrtle Knight has been delighted to have been continually accepting many donations from members of our congregation and friends of ISD into the fund for various expenses and improvements. She says that it is now time for us to use the building fund to focus on accumulating the substantial down payment which we will need in just a few years to obtain a conventional mortgage. Your help in this effort is critical. Please join us in this most worthy endeavor to provide "A Mystical Church & Center for Metaphysical Living," for all who follow.
Thanks for All Your Help And Support - With Love and Blessings
The Ministerial Staff & The Executive Board
