Spiritualism is the belief that all life is created from, and connected to, one Divine Source. Some may know this Divine Source simply as Spirit, the Creator Energy or God.
As Spiritualists, we believe that upon physical death our souls continue to live and evolve in the Spirit world. We believe that we can communicate and commune with our loved ones in the afterlife through the link of Love for the purposes of healing and personal development.
Spirit communication is not unique to Spiritualism. It has existed since human beings first walked on Earth and will continue to exist long after our own physical lives have ended—such is our innate desire to continuously strive for a deeper and more personal relationship to the Divine.
