The SSF is the Public Services Division of the Spiritualist Yoga Fellowship which was incorporated by the Government of Canada on 4 April 1977.
In the fall of 1977, Dr. Marilyn Zwaig Rossner, a professor of special education at Vanier College, held the first meetings of the Spiritual Science Fellowship. The SSF operates as an interfaith fellowship providing spiritual services, educational programs, and pastoral ministrations for persons, regardless of religious background, who desire to understand experiences of psyche and spirit and to dedicate themselves to personal spiritual growth and psychic development in an atmosphere of informed free-thought and enquiry.
The SSF offers to qualified members a professional training program for developing various forms of specialized service and inter-faith ministry, leading to certification, licensing, and ordination of ministers. The categories of specialized service and types of ministry for exercising the various gifts of the spirit operative within the SSF include: 1) inspirational speaker; 2) clairvoyant; 3) spiritual and psychic healer; 4) spiritual and psychic artist or musician; 5) administrator of spiritual organizations and associations; 6) licensed minister; and 7) ordained minister.
Each category/type requires preparation by one to five years of academic study through the SSF’s seminary program which was established in 1984 as the International College of Spiritual and Psychic Sciences by supplementary federal letters patent. A comprehensive curriculum and examinations lead to certificates (from Levels 1 through 5) and include the following areas of study: 1) personal spiritual and psychic development; 2) East-West spirituality and the quest for universal values in the world’s religions; 3) new paradigms for science, spirituality, and human culture in consciousness studies, parapsychology and paraphysics; and 4) pastoral studies for an interfaith ministry.
The SSF publishes three seasonal issues of the SSF Bulletin (Spring, Summer, and Fall-Winter) that is posted on the www.iiihs.org website. See website also for news of events, posting of activities, and schedule of workshops, classes and international conferences.
