Your spotlight
The Metaphysical Center of New Jersey (MCNJ) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization founded in 1956. As a modern day Mystery School, its purpose is to educate, enlighten and encourage spiritual consciousness, helping people integrate body, mind and spirit by applying universal, cosmic laws to daily life. All are welcome.
When the student is ready
MCNJ’s motto is “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” The Center believes in presenting many points of view so people can choose what seems right for them. As its site explains, metaphysics does not impose a belief system to be followed, nor is it a religion, and the goal is to encourage each person to reach their own highest potential.
Classes and the 13 level course
MCNJ offers a 13 level course of study in Metaphysics and Parapsychology through Adult Education Schools in northern New Jersey. Courses run between 5 and 10 weeks, with Fall and Spring semesters, and the levels can be taken in any order, though Metaphysics and Parapsychology 1 is recommended early as a solid foundation.
Other workshops and classes include Developing Clairvoyant and Psychic Abilities, Tarot, Spiritual Psychology, Numerology, Palmistry, Astrology and other Psychic Arts, Meditation, Healing with the Angels, and Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) Training.
Lectures, meditation groups and community
The Center hosts monthly lectures, workshops, meditation groups, psychic and vendor fairs and a book club. Meditation groups are open to everyone by love donation, with no experience necessary. Recordings of past Saturday night lectures can be watched online, and the MCNJ Journeys Program brings together 18 wisdom teachers speaking on a wide variety of metaphysical topics.
A long history of service
MCNJ’s spiritual godfather, John Hay, mentored Donald H. Yott and directed him to establish a Metaphysical Center in northern New Jersey in 1956. Donald, a scholar of World Religions and Esoteric Philosophies, taught the first curriculum in the evening Adult School at Pompton Lakes High School. Since then, MCNJ has been in continual service.
Today the Center is led by President Bill Prinzivalli, who has been with MCNJ for many years as a student, teacher and advisor. He studied with Don Yott and Jean Munzer, taught several levels of the Center’s courses, and created a class called Metaphysics Applied to Business.
