Lilydale Assembly

These grounds protect an eternal sense of optimism, that is a ‘new age’ understanding of very old truth. Hail to its stewards. You are strong protectorates, and I thank you for it.

The area is beautiful and clean. The cost is 12.00 per person. Not a deal, you can go swimming. The bathrooms are very clean. When you walk the streets you feel safe. The various restaurants are excellent (cash only). The gift shop stores prices are ok. Went to the healing mass very nice but the healers who work very hard and are excellent is unorganized. After mass people can go up. Numbers need to be given out. Cheesy but needed. The stump was held at the assemble hall if you don’t sit on the floor chairs you will be ignored. Stay off the bleachers. My reading from the medium was terrible. I was heart broken. 75.00 down the drain. I put it on my charge because she requires a 25.00 deposit. Very said. I will go again but skip the reading. I am not an expert but I have had other readings and this was not good. Another member of a group also had a negative experience. My reader had an opportunity to make it right. She was at the. Stump and when I arrived we made eye contact and nothing. I felt robbed. Enjoy but skip the reading.

I lost my sister & nephew earlier this year. My brother in law & I scheduled a reading with Gretchen who was kind and receptive to our needs. Without getting into too many details, we were both able to find comfort in our session.
Bring an open mind and take it for what it is.
Lilydale is a nice way to spend an afternoon doing something a little off beat.
Just know that the fee to enter this gated community is $ 10/​person!

This has been the world’s largest center for the science, philosophy and religion of spiritualism for over 134 years. It’s an old peaceful place to wander with exceeding friendly people and above all totally unique, unlike anywhere else or any other type of experience. Though I’m not into any of it, I couldn’t help but be at least amused, curious and interested in their discussions on clairvoyance and lectures given by spiritual healers, mediums and the like. It’s one of those unique places, off the beaten path, somewhat out of the way but offering an experience that few ever get to witness and, when you leave, you will leave with having had a most memorable visit.

This is a great place to venture out to in the summer. I’ll second everything the other reviewer said… This place is totally cool.
A friend and I took a workshop on honing your own psychic abilities. It was really interesting and mind-​opening. Each time I have come here I have gotten a mini-​reading just by chance and it’s been really neat.
But keep an open mind. If you’re not receptive to this type of surrounding, you probably won’t enjoy it.

Lily Dale is a little artists village made up of psychics. Very interesting place. They offer workshops and whatnot for those spiritualists to hone their skills. Founded in the mid-​to late 1800s the architecture is quaint. It costs $ 10 to get into the village during the summer months. We visited during the off season, so it was free. Not much to do, but it’s a nice place to slow down, be quite and open your mind to new possibilities.
Things to do in town include:
Fairy Trail — cute woodland trail with fairies along the way
Inspiration Stump — where locals meet regularly for services
Few shops
Get a reading — a must — we saw Patricia Bell, psychic to the stars, who was excellent
