Shining the Light on Joy Atkinson and Cliff Dorian 2016 Hall of Fame Award Recipients
Interview by Nic Skuja

Joy and Cliff founded The Lighthouse Spiritual Centre in North Randwick , Sydney , in 1984 . Originally founded as a spiritualist church , the centre offers a comprehensive range of psychic , spiritual and healing services to the community . In the early days of the Australian Psychics Association , Joy and Cliff offered their support and their premises for meetings and lectures . During the transformation from the Australian to the International Psychics Association , their friendship with Simon Turnbull and their relationship with the organisation became stronger .

You ’ ve both had an incredible career spanning over three decades . What have been some of your highlights and fondest memories ?
Joy : Many of our clients and students who started exploring their spirituality with us have gone on to become professional psychics , healers and clairvoyants with successful careers . Others have been drawn to do demonstrations in the spiritualist church and have successful careers as mediums . Our classes show people how to contact their loved ones in spirit and how to control the direction their paths take . Our classes have also provided a supportive atmosphere for many people who have no family . The more of us in medium work the better it is for the whole of society .
In 2015 , Cliff and I went to Los Angeles for a month with our daughter Zoe and friend Tara . On our last day , we visited the cruise ship The Queen Mary and had high tea in the ship ’ s restaurant . When our waitress , Melissa , started to serve our refreshments , we gently let her know her mother was with her . Melissa told us her mother had passed away suddenly , just over a year before on her twenty-first birthday , and that she missed her very much . We brought through messages from her mother . As we were leaving , Melissa confided that her mother had had a feeling she wasn ’ t going to have a very long life , and had promised that if she did pass on , she would do everything she could to get a message through . Melissa said , ‘ You have just given me that message , thank you so very much .’
This is just an example of how spirit works . We travelled all the way from Sydney to Los Angeles . Tara had the urge to visit The Queen Mary and to have high tea in the restaurant where Melissa worked . Her mother was somehow able to coordinate all of this so she could get the promised message through . It was a connection I don ’ t think any of us will ever forget .
The 1980s must have been an amazing time to be involved in the psychic field . It must have been interesting watching the industry grow and change shape . What insights can you share with our readers for navigating the psychic arena ?
