 A SERIES OF VIRTUAL INTERACTIVE CLASSES WITH EXERCISES AND INDIVIDUALIZED COACHING
Instructors: Rev. Liz Hoy and Rev. Kathleen James, NST are ordained by the National Spiritualist Association of Churches and serve on the Pastoral Care Committee at the Center for Spiritual Development in Old Greenwich, CT. They have taught mediumship workshops on various levels at the Center, Morris Pratt Institute and Spiritual Centers of America. They are both natural mediums who have had extensive training in mediumship. 
“I've been taking the Spiritual Mediumship class with Kathy and Liz on and off for the past almost 3 years now. Having always been of spiritual mind/ body/soul, I can look back and say that this class has changed my life and entire existence. I have delved into the art of spiritual mediumship, but more importantly, I have been given a gift of self-reflection and immense growth. I have grown in ways I couldn't have imagined from doing the work that Kathy and Liz guide us through week after week. Just small things that they say in class have resonated with me and have changed how I live and approach life, people, situations and so much more. I feel a sense of 'coming home' with the class and all those are in it. Love, love and more love sums it all up. Thank you, Kathy, Liz, all the other students whom I have learned from each week and to the church.” – AK
