Officers
Barry Rathbone Officer (Ministry)

I have been a platform Medium for 18 years now, having served both within the Spiritualists National Union and also the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain. I am currently Moderating Bishop of the International Community of St John the Divine, an inclusive multifaith body with membership in every continent on the planet. We believe in the principles of fraternal love, excluding no one who seeks to follow a divine and spiritual path. I would (if I had to) describe myself as an Old Catholic Priest with pagan learnings, wrapped in the 5th principle of Spiritualism! More simply, I embrace the culture of faithful learning and seeking that is rising amongst the people of the world who cannot simply ascribe to one singular pathway. God made us with many facets so it is only right that people would be curious when researching their own development.
But it isn't an easy path we tread. As Silver Birch himself says: 'Welcome the challenge of difficulty. There is no power vested in matter...or...in the churches, in newspapers, doctros etc that will be able to vanquish the power of the spirit in your midst.'
I am so very happy to be part of SWA's move forward for the next stage of our spiritual unity, and delighted to have been invited to sit on the Round Table with all my other brothers and sisters.

Carole McEntee-Taylor Officer (Gen. Secretary)

Hi
I'm Carole and together with my husband David, were two of the original founders of the Spiritual Workers Association.

I am a spiritual healer, spiritual healer trainer, Reiki Master and massage therapist. I have had several articles published in magazines and newsapers.
I am a Parish Councillor and in my day job I am a housing advisor. I have a MA in Philosophy and a BSc(Hons) and I have been accepted to start a PhD at Essex University and hope to find some time to actually start!

David and I teach spiritual healing, spiritual philosophy and mediumship development at our centre in Essex and hold spiritual evenings in the local villages. We had our first book, The Re-Enlightenment, published in May 2007.

The Re-Enlightenment is an introduction to spiritual philosophy. Our second book, The Holiday from Hell, is currently at the publishers and will be available to buy soon.

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 international umbrella organisation that raised the profile of spiritual work and also raised standards and awareness. We also believed that it was time all spiritual workers came together and spoke with one voice.

Ian Jones Officer (I.T Rep)

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.

Sarah Tyler-Walters Officer (Teaching Coordinator)

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.

Dennis & Rosalind Pearman Partner Organisation

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.

Sage (Jan) Hurleigh Regional Organiser

Sage is a psychic medium by default. Though gifted even as a child, she ignored her gift and focused throughout her young life as an artist, pursuing a BFA and MA in New York. That is until the death of her father, when her father’s spirit appeared. Little by little she surrendered to her gift and in ’88 became a Spiritualist Minister. Having pursued her MA in art therapy she leaned towards alternative therapies. As a result, she was the proprietor of a natural health clinic in Melbourne until she moved to sunny Queensland. There she focused on homeschooling her children and on her gift. She has toured extensively with the Australian Psychic Expo and established a Spiritualist Church. Sage has touched many with her compassion, empathy and clarity. Having been trained as a counsellor, she is very aware of ethics and is a keen supporter that it is essential in our profession. Sage believes that “the psychic world is filled with many gifted people and many charlatans, we NEED ethics for ourselves and our clients. It is in the ethics professionalism is honed.”
