National Spiritual Alliance

Join us UPSTAIRS!

As prelude to the 150th Anniversary celebration (8/24/24) of the founding of Lake Pleasant, David James -- co-author of “Spirit and Spa” with the late Louise Shattuck -- and Sheryl Sadler-Twyon -- whose great-grandparents were early residents of the village, he an herbalist and she a medium -- will read excerpts from the book Sunday, August 18, beginning at 10:30 a.m., followed by a historical walking tour weather permitting, or a narrated slide show if rain. “Spirit and Spa” is a memoiristic and vintage photograph portrait of the history of spiritualism in Lake Pleasant. Shattuck was a third-generation Spiritualist and the book traces Lake Pleasant from its earliest days as a vibrant resort for thousands to the quiet hamlet of less than 200 residents that it is today. "Spirit and Spa" also looks at the Spiritualist remnant that remains, The National Spiritual Alliance.
