It
is our belief and our way of life that we honor the
spiritual pathways of all who truly seek comfort
and direction. Embracing The Oneness and the
Divine Care of our Creator, it is our goal to
share our experience without inflicting mandatory
creeds and dogma.
We are dedicated to:
1. Assisting those
who desire to get out of unfortunate circumstances.
2. Helping
those in need by guiding and encouraging them through the necessary
stages of change.
3. Teaching
techniques for building strength and confidence towards independence
in the quest for freedom to "do anything."
We
are now developing educational programs leading
to professional certification of practitioners
in the intuitive and healing arts of Metaphysiotherapy. These
qualifications are designed to provide credit toward
qualification for the Ministry under the authority
of the Universal Christ Church (School of Spiritualism). We
also offer discussion forums, workshops and intensive
seminars for those want to explore or sharpen their
own skills in these areas.

Our
Story
Sumaris Psychic Education Centre was the original entity that gave birth
to today's Sumaris Center. The Psychic Education Centre was established
in 1979 in Essex, just North of London, England. Margaret Rogers was
founder and principal of the centre with the able assistance of her good
friend, Supapon and a host of dedicated students and healing practitioners.
When Margaret married Steve Van Coops, her American husband, she moved
with him to California and reinvented the center under the charter of
the Universal Christ Church (School of Spiritualism). It became Sumaris
Psychic Education Center (American spelling), and then Sumaris Center
as it spread its scope beyond psychic studies and into broad areas of
spiritual and metaphysical healing and research. The dream is to evolve
from the small home study and healing center to an institute that provides
opportunities for enlightened research and development of complementary
and alternative healing methods and for the training and unifying of
metaphysical practitioners across the country and around the world.
The name "Sumaris" evolved from several directions: It is built
on syllables from Margaret and Supapon's names and from the consciousness
of the ancient Sumari civilization that is said to pre-date our earliest
historical records....And there are those who hold that Sumaris carries
channeled information and secrets from beneath the seas (maris) where
other ancient people were covered with water and their legends and histories
allowed to emerge infrequently through enlightened souls who tap into
the Akashic records and proclaim the glory of the lost civilizations.
Spirit Guides who walked the earth and other planets in the long ago
past who are now imparting the knowledge and skills used by such spiritual
leaders and teachers as Dr. Margaret Rogers Van Coops.
