Hi
I'm Carole and together with my husband David, were two of the original founders of the Spiritual Workers Association. Together with Ian, Ann and Sandra we are now trustees of the SWA.

I am a spiritual healer, spiritual healer trainer, Reiki Master and massage therapist. I have had several articles published in the Psychic Press and used to produce and edit the United Spiritualist newsletter Unity.

In my day job I am a housing advisor, I have a MA in Philosophy and a BSc(Hons). Although I was due to start a PhD at Essex University in September, I have now deferred this as working on behalf of the Spiritual Workers Association and its members is more important at the moment.

David is a Spiritualist Minister, medium and spiritual healer counsellor and in his day job is an employment consultant.

Together we teach spiritual healing, spiritual philosophy and mediumship development at our centre in Essex and we had our first book published in May 2007.

The Re-Enlightenment is an introduction to spiritual philosophy and is part of a trilogy. The second part describes our spiritual journey and is almost finished.

The Spiritual Workers Association came out of the comments and contacts made whilst raising awareness about the proposed changes to the Fraudulent Mediums Act.

We had long believed that there should be an organisation to raise the profile of spiritual work and to raise standards and awareness but it was the determination to turn a possible negative into a positive that was the real motivating force.

We have been overwhelmed by the support and encouragement we have received. We look forward to an organisation that is flexible, progressive and representative of all spiritual workers and that offers the public a resource where they can find answers to their questions in the sure knowledge that all members of the SWA are committed to the highest standards.

I'm the I.T person responsible for developing and maintaining the website. My interests are reading & writing spiritual philosophy. I have always known that there was something beyond the physical 3D world we find ourselves in. My spiritual path really unfolded in 2005 when my wife's mum died of cancer. This lead me to draw on all my experiences to help those around me, little did I know that that was going start me on an extremely intense spiritual journey.

I feel very passionate about spreading spiritual knowledge and supplying the means to do so. I love sharing knowledge that will allow others to find their own spiritual potential and be empowered. I believe we have a great opportunity to come together as a unified spiritual community where believers and non-believers alike can have faith in our field. My aim is to always work from the heart rather than ego.

I have been a computer programmer since the age of 15 with various commercial computer games published back in the eighties on the Commodore 64 & Amiga. This was a very exciting period for my brother and myself. Having had no previous computer experience or education in this field we both seemed to pick up computer machine code and assembly language without any training or teaching ( I wish it was still that easy now that I'm little bit older). This is a passion that has remained with me to this day. One of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and others is to find our passion and work with it.

I feel that the knowledge I have gained spiritually combined with working as a programmer and in media has been extremely useful in getting spiritual web sites built and spreading the word. Please take a look at the TheSpiritGuides.co.uk website below, it aims to be a valuable resource for spiritual seekers and spirit workers posting events and articles.

I am the founder of the Scottish spiritualist federation. The federation was set up to unite the many individual run Scottish churches and spiritual workers and to try to get some codes of conduct in place for spiritual workers.
We teamed up with SWA, because we were all aiming for the same goal, (to set up a , governing body that will be fair for all spiritual workers).
I founded and run the Butterfly fellowship spiritualist church in my home town of Port Glasgow in Scotland.
In November 2007, I took up position of International spiritualist federation, liaison officer for Scotland.

I am the proprietor of BSSK Events, an event promotions company promoting 12 - 14 largish Mind, Body and Spirit Events a year in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. These are run on as ethical a basis as possible, with 'readers' having to agree to a code of conduct within the event and take part in a public 'reader feedback' scheme. Although this is a business, ethical practices are as important to me, if not more so, than profit!

I have been a Spiritualist since I was 21 years of age I am 59. I sat for a number of years in a development circle at my local Church , and first started out as a Spiritual Healer with my wife and we were asked to take over the healing service at the church which we did for 12 years during which time I was developing my gift as a Medium. I started working on platform and taking Church services in the early 1980’s . My work as a Medium has taken to many places around the world.

Working mainly as a Clairaudient which means that I hear the Spirit voices, which on occasions can be very interesting specially when I when in different countries and then I have to have a spirit guides translate into english for me to understand what has been said.

I also enjoy the teaching side of my work and conduct teaching courses on various aspects of Spiritual development . This includes Mental, and Physical Mediumship, Healing etc.

I enjoy my life as a Spiritualist trying to be of help to as many people as possible, spreading the word of Truth and Light , and that there in no such thing as death only life eternal.

I have worked as the International Spiritualist Federation Treasurer for the last 6 years and stepping down this year. Have been on several committees over the last 35 years, including being President of my Local Spiritualist Church, also Chairman of the Home Counties Association of Spiritual Healers for 13 years.

I am a Reiki Master Teacher and practising Druid. I am also an initiate into the Celtic Mystery Tradition.

I am Lee Glendinning, a 19 year old living in Scotland. I have been brought up in the spiritualist movement and i've discovered theres not much for young people, so I decided to start a discussion group conserning youths with a genuine interest for spiritualism where we can learn from each other. I bring the young peoples views to the round table of the SWA. I am currently studying at college doing computer games development and I am going to university after the summer in glasgow.

I am a working medium and healer serving the church. I am a writer and journalist. I am the author of Principles of Spiritualism now being re-printed with revisions, and extra chapter. I am a senior minister of the Corinthian Church and Healing Association. I am a healer trainer member of the Brighthelm Healing Trust. I am the editor of the new SWA paper "The Spiritual News" .

Hi everyone. I am a Trance Medium, Teacher, Healer (CCHA)
I trained as a mental medium at the London Spiritual Mission, then as a trance medium at The College of Psychic Studies and later as a Spiritual Healer with the Corinthians. I am a tutor and sensitive at The College of Psychic Studies where I teach trance mediumship and channelling. My work revolves around trance and bringing forward the message of Spirit. Having trained and worked as a mental medium I understand the principles and discipline involved and I aim to instil those in my trance students. Much of my work is about creating greater awareness and understanding of trance mediumship and channelling to remove some of the stigma and fear it evokes. I am looking forward to working with everyone at SWA in bringing about true understanding of who Spirit are and the purpose of their work with us.

The aims are to initiate, train and accredit people into High Standards of reiki; To provide accreditation of prior learning to reiki people of different lineage on approval of work submitted and evidence collected; To promote and practise Universal and World healing for all life thereon; To establish ReiKi training as a recognised qualification nationally

The ICSJ (The International Community of St John The Divine) was Established in 1992, by a small group of people in Bournemouth UK as an inter faith body comprising the rainbow spectrum of the human experience of faiths such as Christians, Jews, Muslims, Spiritualists, Buddhists Hindus, Pagans, Chaos Theorists and many others.

At present we have over 400 ministers in communion with us and many thousands of lay members working with us to support and uphold the aims and vision of the community worldwide.

Zerdin Phenomenal the organisation represent physical mediumship trance and associated phenomena that is happening in the present time Zerdin the name was named after a gentlemen called Noah Zerdin who when alive in the 1930 was a great advocate of physical mediumship and was mentor to the great direct voice medium Mr Leslie Flint, When Noah passed to spirit he came through at a séance and asked for an orginisation to be formed to represent physical mediumship and the home circles developing physical mediumship in the present time.

Some year later Zerdin Phenomenal now carries through Noah’s work and we felt it appropriate to name ourselves after Noah Zerdin.

We now publish a by monthly magazine and a website where people can subscribe to which keeps everybody updated about what is happening in the now regarding Physical mediumship Trance and spirit manifestation. Subscribing to Zerdin is not just about receiving a publication it is about being part of a family passionate about spirit communication in a physical way, giving our members the opportunity to attend workshops, seminars, lectures and trance demonstration and séances (subject tom the suitability to sit).

We at Zerdin will never forget our history and our pioneers indeed you can read about them in the pages of our magazine or our website.

Our history is very important to Zerdin as often physical mediums and great advocates of physical mediumship from the past go on helping us from the other side often materializing in the séance room.

We are now some 800 members in number and growing each year not only in numbers but with the integrity of representing this rare form of mediumhsip.

We had a vision for Zerdin from the start and it has not changed It is our intension to always keep our existing medium safe when presenting their gift to the public. We intend to search worldwide for those rare individuals with the gift for physical mediumship and with love and encouragement to help them develop that gift. Zerdin wishes to help educate people on the nature of physical mediumship trance and associated phenomena and to bring to the world’s attention that we survive physical death and this can be proven in a physical way in the séance room.

Universal Learning has over 1000 members and gives participants the knowledge to re-align their energy to become more settled in their own skin.

My wife Shirley and I have worked very closely together for Spirit for more than 30 years. We moved from Milton Keynes to Plymouth three years ago, and now we serve most of the churches in Cornwall and Devon. Occasionally we cross over into Somerset to work for Spirit.
Other than Church Services, if Spirit want us to work in any other way, we do! We have, on occasion, been asked to move unwanted spirits from peoples homes.
We have run Healing courses and development circles and workshops.
Sometimes we have a free weekend when we can go to a different Spiritualist Church where we can see what it looks like from the front of the rostrum. We are not currently associated with any one church.

Psychic Medium and Paranormal Investigator with full time experience since the year 2001. I was a retail manager for 13 years previous to this, but now see my self as an adept of the occult and all Metaphysical, and the paranormal realm. With experience of working with various aspects of the Media. Business minded, professional, confident, articulate and verbally comfortable in most situations. I am seeking new challenges within the paranormal and psychic industries.

I have during my time in this industry been responsible for setting up and running two successful ghost clubs and a limited company which in essence was an events management company that dealt specifically within the paranormal industry. Responsible for over 150 events/investigations across Wales and southern England I ran a group of over 200 members and 40 part time volunteer staff and 10 part time self employed Area Managers covering the whole of Wales.

Often doing stand up at pubs and clubs, I offer psychic and mediumship readings and regularly feature on and in various media bodies. It is fair to say that I have a wealth of paranormal and psychic knowledge and more importantly experience. Tempered with more than 13 years of retail management experience I am confident and able to make any project a success story. I am a self published author and am currently working on my second and third book at the same time.

Areas of Expertise

•Ghost Hunting, Theory and practical applications as well as a sound level of all technical aspects.
•Psychic, Mediumship and all aspects of spiritual awareness, studies and disciplines.
•Sound general knowledge of almost all paranormal subjects.
•Extensive knowledge of Pagan based religion, rituals, magic and Satanic Practices, the latter studied for knowledge purposes only, to help law enforcement.
•House Clearing of particular malevolent evil spirits, poltergeist attacks, possessions and Performing Exorcisms.
•Stand up clairvoyant demonstration shows.
•Am able to write to a sound published standard on a number of psychic or paranormal based topics.
•Can host or co-host paranormal based radio programs to a semi professional standard.

I am an independent member of the spiritual community and look forward to a singular regulatory body helping to set "best practice" as a standard to give our industry the credit and respect it rightfully deserves.

I have been in retail all my working life to various management levels. Through my frustration with trying to find relevant resources and information in my own area to develop my own spirityuality, I have set up Suffolk Circle of Light with my friend Linda. It is in its infant stages but our ultimate aim is to provide resources to other like minded individuals under one roof so that they may discuss and develop their beliefs and potential in all aspects of spirituality regardless of age, sex and religous beliefs. Consequently the principles and guidelines of the SWA in the current climate are very close to our hearts.
