The Lodge holds an annual conference, publishes a journal ''Altair'', conducts other day events, still runs correspondence courses, and does horoscope readings for clients.
Healing
Absent healing is healing by prayer, directed at absent patients. Lone absent healers work from home on their own, and tuning into the Angels of Healing they call on the patients' names and pray for them. Following a set form of service, they envisage colours being gently applied to psychic centres or "
chakras" by healing angels. Thousands of people and animals are on such lists worldwide at any given time. A description of the method used by the Lodge in its healing is found in ''A Healers Journey Into Light''
by Lorna Todd.
