The Pathway of the Healer Series with Minister Dennis Battersby THURSDAYS –4 SESSIONS:January 15, 22, 29 &February 52026
with Minister Dennis Battersby
On the Pathway of the Healer, we explore the sacred art of blending with Spirit and the elemental forces that empower our healing work. Discover how Earth, Air, Fire, Water and the Creator work together.
We are beings of rhythm: Our breath, heartbeat and very essence flow in harmony with the tides of creation. When we align with these natural rhythms and elemental energies, we tap into the Healing Intelligence itself – enhancing both our effectiveness as healers and our personal spiritual evolution.
This experiential workshop will deepen your connection to Source and transform how you channel healing energy in service to others.

The Journey Within is looking for volunteers to join together in two new ventures. One is the expansion of volunteerism at CUMAC in Paterson, NJ. Our other out-reach will be a once a month trip into NYC to distribute food and care kits for those in need. We will as well continue our Toys for local families in need at Christmas.
The Journey Within invites you to join our hiking group which meets monthly. Minister Thomas Regenauer has brought his Yoga classes to the church so please watch for dates for sessions including beginners. If you have any suggestions for other physical activities, please let us know.
The Spiritualist tradition encourages each of us to become our own
philosopher in life. We provide Philosophy and cake discussions, as well as Fireside chats to discuss the rich history of Spiritualism. There are also many opportunities to attend classes with our visiting overseas tutors on a wide variety of topics, please check the newsletter for dates and times. We invite you to join us on Sundays at services for our Minister’s address.
This group is for anyone 55 years and older. We have monthly activities in which you can participate. These may include a movie, a meal or just fellowship. If you are aware of any senior in need of help at their home or would like a visiting angel to stop by, please let us know.

The Journey Within commits itself to the development of our children as vital to the future of Spiritualism and strong leaders, dreamers and visionaries of the future. If we can be of help with your children please speak with Minister Janet Nohavec. Children are welcome at all services, we do appreciate your respect for the reasonable quiet during healing and meditation. Children are always welcome to sit with a healer during service.
