Prof. Todd Jay Leonard\, leisurely stroll the grounds of Camp Chesterfield visiting various landscape displays and buildings\, discussing in detail John Fetzer’s frequent visits to the camp and the value he gained from attending camp events and séances. Bruce and Todd sit and chat at the ‘toad stools’\, visit the Trail of Religion\, the Tree of Life bookstore\, the Western Hotel\, and the Hett Art Gallery and Museum\, as well as visiting Rev. Wahna Irvine’s séance room.\nIn the film\, the audience will see and hear about many of the spiritual artifacts John brought home over the years from Camp Chester-field\, including personalized Spirit Cards and Spirit Photos. Also featured are the opening minutes of an actual séance!\nAll attendees of the première will be gifted with a hardback copy of the book “John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age” by Brian C.
