Ancient Joy

An active congregation of the International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregation, we are an interfaith organization helping people of all religions explore their spiritual connection to the Creator ultimately to heal their spirits and hearts.

We are a wellness center doing business as Bender Healing with an office located in Phoenixville, PA. We provide local hands on and national lectures and phone consulting to helping heal mind body and spirit.  With excellent healing body work we also witness miracles as we help people learn more about who they are with respect to the universe around them.

Being interfaith, we work with people of all religions and many who have no religious background nor religious home.  We can help you explore your belief systems and encourage and guide you while you explore your connection to the Creator using your existing belief system.  We help people look into the scary spots all the time to come to find the light in their life.

Our hope is that everyone comes to understand the beauty within and come to truly know their ancient joy.

Spiritual Reflections

Finding Jesus

I found Jesus twice in the last 48 hours!….
First was for a nativity scene as I was setting up Christmas ornaments. He wasn’t in with the set… I had to empty the whole storage box and he was at the bottom… I exclaimed “There you are, I found you!!!’… which I thought was kind [...]

Once you have what you want things change. [...]
