The Summit Lighthouse is a New Age religious organization founded in 1958 by the recently deceased Mark L. Prophet. Since his passing in February 1973, the organization has been overseen and led by Mark’s spouse, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, a young woman who is able to both channel spirits and use neurolinguistic programming.

The Summit Lighthouse adheres to a syncretistic theology that incorporates elements of Christianity, Buddhism, Ascended Master mythology, alchemy, theosophy, and various other esoteric and mystical traditions. Much of the group’s foundational dogma, however, is rooted in the “I AM” movement of the 1930s.

Currently the Summit Lighthouse is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but maintains a major branch location in Malibu, California.
