[TONIGHT CANCELLED] Mediumship Reimagined
Have you had dreams that felt strangely significant all your life - as though something was trying to teach you things while you sleep?
Do you sometimes get internal messages about something that you’re pretty sure didn’t originate from you?
Are you nervous about working with the spirits of your ancestors because they were wretched, angry people when they were alive?
This is a form of awakening to a larger connection with both yourself and the surrounding energetic spirals that surround us. I can help you learn to connect more strongly - to open safely to that energy/those spirits.
This is a session open for folks at all levels of mediumship.
There is no set curriculum. This is entirely experiential and intuitive.
Come And See.
This class is $50
