CENTRE FOR SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
Spirit Teaching , Mediumship and Clairvoyancy
The Centre for Spiritual Development's primary goal is to;
- Promote the philosophy of Spiritism as a way of life and to prove the existence of life after death.
- Awaken and develop the latent mediumistic gifts which some of us maybe bestowed with (such as healing, counseling, power of dreams, motivation etc.)
- Promote the practice of good Mediumship and that a good Medium must have clarity, must be meaningful, explanatory, and comprehensive.
The story of Spiritualism is as old as the story of God. It began with God, and therefore can never be diminished or exhausted for it is infinity, it has no beginning and it has no end. It is a platform for those who seek to understand Spiritualism and to look at it as a way of life.
The fundamental of Spiritualism is that life continues in spirit form after material death. In simple words we say that our loved ones that have died continue to live in the Spirit World and it is possible to communicate with them or receive communication from them because they are not spiritually dead! This is contrary to other philosophies that claim that there is neither connection nor communication with our loved ones once they are dead.
Spiritualism has no dogma or any ceremony attached to it. The fundamental is to seek and understand the precious light and knowledge which the Almighty God has generously bestowed on us.
There are a number of people who believe in Spiritualism and continue to receive messages of calm and encouragement from loved ones that have passed on. These messages have sustained them in times of difficulties and grief and have helped them pull out of depression or rejection of any form.
Over the years, Spiritualism has been an integral value of moral and philosophical sustenance. It is a pillar of ethics of balance for many including those who believed that life has been unfair and that someday the laws of retribution will be evoked, it is also this positive spectrum of good balance that would apply to the environment in which we sadly continue to abuse. These positive forces will be applied to reverse some of the greed and negativity that prevails and to a certain extent plunged our world into a global crisis politically, economically, socially and environmentally if we do not take any action.
Worldwide, Spiritualism is a gift that offers a myriad of opportunities for all who may need it especially in trying times. This will not only revitalize and re-energize the steady decline in the general quality of Mediumship, but will inspire and create opportunities for learning, networking and practice for those who seek to embrace Spiritualism. In other words, it’s a Tree of Knowledge.
Background of the Resident Medium
My name is Michael Garba and my natural journey into Spiritualism began at the age of five when I had very little or no concept at all of religion or spirituality. I initially believed that predicting rain, storm or family members who lived hundreds of kilometers away is natural for all. I had thought anyone could have this ability.
There were occasions I played with children whom I could see and assumed that my parents saw them as well, but surprisingly they could not see them. On several occasions, I remember talking to people whom I had never met nor seen but were friendly, although different from the normal size of people. I was also drawn to the Stars; I enjoyed counting them and could interpret the meaning of their positions.
I aligned to the religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in my early years simply because of its non dogma and simplistic way of life. I found Quakerism to be very similar to my Spiritualist beliefs where compromises are easily reached without any disagreements over the superiority of any philosophy.
I have preoccupied myself with practice works in Spiritism i.e. Spirit Readings, Clairvoyance, and have practiced Transfiguration. I have facilitated sessions in many countries. We have also set up Closed and Open cycles in many parts of the world and have trained platform Mediums. We are currently writing a book on Spiritualism and detailing some of our work in journals.
It is because of the expediency and the general decline in the state of Mediumship globally that The Centre for Spiritual Development has been set up. The centre is open to all friends of Spiritualism both old and young, locally and internationally, to visit and to make a contribution to the global development of Spiritualism.
We salute the great Elders and Spiritualists for their respective contribution to world peace and human development; it is those spirits of consciousness that we humbly attempt to emulate and wish to share this humble platform with others who share our belief and philosophy. There is a great future in seeking peace, prosperity and respect for each other’s beliefs contrary to divisive dogma of fundamentalist approach that yield no result and only lead to confrontation and wars.
Invitation to Reflect on Spiritualism
The Centre for Spiritual Development invites you to a Retreat on Spirit Teaching and Mediumship which will be held in the scenic city of Gaborone, Botswana.
The Retreat will provide an opportune atmosphere for attendees to undertake and participate in short but insightful lectures. Attendees will be gently guided by World Renowned Resident Medium on topics on Spiritism. The lectures will consist of in-depth analysis, and discussions and debates.
To the open hearted individuals, or Adept, these lectures and the inherent conversations might trigger a profound debate and provide a wider opportunity for an intelligible understanding of the Spirit World. This simple dimension posits that the Human Soul does not end in the grave but rather assimilates into a World of Spirits.
In our knowledge and understanding the Light of God is reflected upon us all without exception of religion, ethnicity, color or philosophy. Those who enhance this awareness correctly will realize that the innate pain and burden of grief of loved ones or other forms of difficulties that can be associated with human endurance's can be understood within this context. Spiritualism can therefore be defined as that Tree of Knowledge which can be deciphered by the intervention of Spirit Guides and intermediary of Mediumistic channels.
Spiritualism therefore, stands to provide answers to questions which Orthodoxy had swept under the carpet or questions that might derail those who hold on to religion in its different forms as a sword of power and its potential manipulation of the innocent. In the theory of Transfiguration, we can also add that the two early Prophets whom were said to have appeared with the Great Teacher whilst he was praying on the mountain. The identity of the prophets at the time was revealed through Mediumship and also his constant appearances unto his disciples and to member's of His family soon after his death are further evidences of his manifestation even though he was dead.
This Retreat is intended to galvanize the mind and intellect of all those special souls in search of knowledge and truth about the philosophy of Spiritism. It will also reaffirm the knowledge of life after death in simple terms, the Spirit World and the significant role it plays in our lives.

Retreat Accomplishments
This Retreat will enhance our understanding and practice in the following key areas of our lives:
Meditation
- Meditation as we broadly understand it is a technique that enables one to calm down the mind and reflect on any positive alternative.
Improved Mental Consciousness
- This Retreat may empower you to draw up conclusions in some grey areas in your life.
- Once we open up to higher powers, our scope of consciousness becomes broader as our mental pictures become visible and clearer. And this is what makes us better people in life.
- If we trade carefully on these topics our inner peace and ability to handle complications in our lives will be enhanced.
- If we trade carefully on these topics and follow our inner most thoughts our ability to handle complex issues could be easily enhanced.
Enhanced Understanding of Spirituality
- Our ability to reflect on the past and re-energize on the future with a more positive and dynamic attitude will be enhanced.
- A room for purity of thoughts and good intentions, would improve your psychic abilities.
- The Retreat will give us a firm holding on the structures which inspire knowledge and improved perceptions and open all other psychic nerves.
- This course could enhance and justify our understanding of the theory of Retribution, which can be a platform on how to treat and respect each other as human beings, including animals, the vegetation and the environment in which we live.
- Attendance would create a form of independence that you can reflect on, than just being a group follower.
Mastering Peace and Forgiveness
- It provides a platform for alternative conflict resolution.
- Argumentative platforms could easily be discarded.
- Some form of thoughts on forgiveness might arise.
