Description
Experience spirit communication firsthand in a safe, supportive and encouraging environment with the guidance of Sharon Farber. She shares the story of how she became a medium through study — and teaches how you can do the same.
You will learn what mediumship is, how it works, and how to comfortably initiate contact with deceased loved ones. Practices will focus on quieting the mind and setting intentions to allow you to begin to perceive and relay information from loved ones in spirit.
You will not enter into a deep trance state. Instead, you will remain conscious and aware while communicating with loved ones in spirit.
Using lectures, guided meditations, hands-on exercises, Q&A, and active practice, you will:
- Learn about the background and workings of mediumship and spirit guides
- Ground yourself and raise your vibration; meditate and practice sitting in the power
- Learn about ritual and setting your intention
- Address fears and challenges, and learn how to practice self care, set boundaries, and protect yourself
- Learn different ways to perceive spirits
- Gain a grounding in the ethics and responsibility that comes with mediumship
You will go home with a solid understanding of mediumship and a strong foundation on which to develop your abilities. You may be ready to join a mediumship circle, or practice giving readings to friends and family.
Appropriate for adults with no mediumship experience, or those with some experience with a desire to develop. Please be aware that good mental health, including a strong connection to reality, is vital. People with clinical depression, psychosis or other mental illness are advised to consult a healthcare provider before pursuing mediumship development.
*Class size limited to 20 participants. So register early to secure your spot.
