Who We Are
Our Leadership
Karen was born in western Pennsylvania and worked as a social worker for many years. In her own words, “I had a near death experience at the age of five. I have been conscious of spirit communication from that time on. It was after my parents passed on to the other side, that I was drawn to bring out my mediumship skills. To bring my gift full circle, I studied with two great mediums. One was Rev. Janet Nohavec, from The Journey Within School for Mediumship in New Jersey. The other was Rev. Leonard Young, from England. He taught at Arthur Findlay College at Stansted. I have also been trained to do platform mediumship. I am truly blessed that God has given me a gift so that I can help connect to the Spirit World.”
Always feeling the need to serve, Karen opened her own church in 2008. The Spiritual Path Church is in New Castle, PA. It is affiliated with The Spiritualist National Union, based in England. Through the church, she offers weekly church services, Wednesday night circles, on-line classes, radio shows, blogs and educational books. Her books are Treasures from the Spirit World; Seers, Mediums and Spiritualists; and Spiritualist Camps: Their History and Prominent People. Another book published by her co-author, Blessing from Agnes, tells the story of Spiritualists in New Castle, PA and includes Karen’s story.
Karen is a member of several organizations, including the Lily Dale Assembly, International Spiritualist Federation, and the International Association for Near-Death Studies. She also founded the Western Pennsylvania IANDS in 2009. As a member of the ISF, she writes a column entitled “Pearls from the Past” for their Yours Fraternally publication.

What is Spiritual Healing?
Spiritual Healing is a natural activity and can be divided into two main categories. Contact Healing requires the healing medium to be with the patient, administering healing in a simple, dignified manner.
Absent healing is carried out by thought and prayer and allows those unable to attend the healing sanctuary to be assisted.
What is the difference between mental and physical mediumship?
The difference is that when the phenomenon is of a mental nature, it is received first by the medium and then passed on to the recipient, whilst a physical phenomenon can be witnessed, heard or felt by all present.
Why sunflowers?

Noah's Ark Society Archive
Noah's Ark Society for Physical Mediumship originated on April 25, 1990, in a Spiritualist home circle in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, England. The people sitting in an attempt to communicate heard an independent voice message (heard apart from any of their members speaking), that urged those present to form an organization specifically devoted to the promotion of physical mediumship and the development of mediums in whose present physical mediumship occurs. The voice identified himself as Noah Zerdin, a Spiritualist known for his having founded The Link, a network of Spiritualist groups built around small groups that sat for spirit contact in their homes. Zerdin had been the mentor of Leslie Flint, who died in 1994.
