Mediumnic sculptures at Michelham Priory
The current exhibition of mediumnic sculptures in the gardens of Michelham Priory in England is something we have been very eager to put on for a number of years. In the exceptional surroundings of this old priory, the sculptures have been skilfully placed on the lawns or flowerbeds and have taken on a new look and meaning.

Historical Notes
Michelham Priory in eastern Sussex in the south east of England was built in the 13th century by the Order of the Augustines, a community which produced its own resources in a self-sufficient system and placed its monastic life in the service of God. This type of religious life was eliminated during the reign of Henry VIII who broke up the monasteries. Part of the priory and the church were destroyed at this time. Today, a “Tudor style” set of buildings remains, surrounded by beautiful gardens and lawns through which a river flows with its swans and ducks.
This reputedly haunted house has gradually evolved since the Augustine period into its present Tudor style and has been meticulously maintained. There is a museum concerning the history of the site and other areas that are given over to various cultural activities.
Exhibition from 1st March to 31st October

The Allan Kardec Spiritist Society.

Created in 1977 to carry on the work on communication with the spirits which began in 1974 and to spread the spiritist philosophy.

To ensure the renewal and the continuity of the Spiritist movement in France following several decades of religious, commercial and occult type activity. 

An appropriate structure in which mediums can function so as to avoid any danger and mystification. 

Current communication with the afterlife takes place via the work of the following mediums :

- 2 mediums using embodiment 
- 3 mediums using automatic writing
- 10 painting mediums
- 2 sculptor mediums
- 2 musician mediums
- 3 clairvoyant mediums
- some of these mediums also practise semi-embodiment, magnetic sleep


Over 40 magnetic healers whose gift has been revealed to them by the spirits, work in 2 fields : 
- the protection of the mediums
- curing patients


The Allan Kardec group is a continuation of the spiritist movement founded in 1858 by Kardec and headed later by Léon Denis, Gabriel Delanne, Jean Meyer, Gustave Geley and others until 1930. Following a period of quasi-extinction in France, the Nancy Group is attempting to make spiritism more widely known. 

Today we have 150 members and 500 subscribers to the Spiritist Magazine.
Other groups exist in Paris, Besançon, Belfort and Montpellier.
