Bring: An object belonging to a deceased loved one, or a photograph, or several :)
Join us for a fun, yet profound, genuine and real, Halloween Seance!
You will receive instruction from a professional medium about the art of mediumship. We will prime the slate with a meditation, preparing YOU to BE the medium (with my help of course, no pressure!)
Students will use an object or photo of their classmates' passed on dear ones to help them connect and deliver messages (psychometry.)
I know what you're thinking, "I can't possibly do that!" Well, yes you absolutely can! This has been an annual event for many years, and I can count on one hand the number of people who just didn't get anything.
This class will open you up to the Spirit world. It has even inspired some of my students to become mediums. It's not that hard, you just need a little help to get there!
You WILL surprise yourself. This is a REAL seance and everyone present gets a message even if it's from me! (I fill in from time to time.)
Everyone is welcome, beginner to advanced!
No refunds in the event you cannot attend for any reason.
Bio of the Teacher:
Victoria always felt the call to serve others. Her first love was poetry and visual art, but her calling led her to the non-profit world. She worked for a labor rights organization, a women’s shelter, a crime victim assistance agency, as a service-learning director, a collegiate assistant for international affairs, and spent two years volunteering for Americorps. She became an activist for LGBTQIA+ and women’s rights at the University of Pittsburgh, where she received a BA in English Writing. She also completed a Master’s in Human Rights/Women’s Studies at Chatham University.
Victoria’s first spiritual experiences as a child include visions of goddesses, spirits and other entities. Her Grandmother shared stories about visitations from passed-on family members, read magazines about astrology, and discussed all things “woo.” Mediumship and psychic ability is in the family.
Victoria felt different from her peers as her interests were unorthodox: out of body experiences, meditation, the purpose of life, art, literature, philosophy, world religions and mythology, mysticism and spirituality, social justice activism, alternative music and subcultures.
Her difficult and traumatic background as a child led to a mental health crisis when she was 18. Her recovery from clinical depression was achieved in large part through the practice of Buddhist meditation. At that point she was heavily invested in exploring different spiritual paths and practiced Buddhism, Wicca, and kundalini yoga.
When she began taking spiritual classes, intuition felt natural. She realized that this ability could be accurate, helpful and healing. After being mentored by the Spiritualist community, in 2007 she became a professional reader.
Through a disciplined practice of yoga and meditation, she had a spiritual and kundalini awakening in 2010 that rooted her connection to the Divine and brought her the realization that we are all one.
Victoria inferred that she needed to understand spirituality and its connection to the psyche to be more helpful to her clients, and that led her to obtain a second Masters in Transpersonal Psychology from Sophia University in California.
Her current interests and training include shamanism, shamanic healing and ceremonies, and the intersection of psychology and spirituality.
She is a full-time spiritual mentor, intuitive counselor, medium, reiki/shamanic healing practitioner, spiritual development coach, writer, and teacher. A large amount of her time is spent working one on one with clients.
Another important component is teaching and mentoring. She has taught hundreds of spiritual and wellness-based classes, locally and in Lily Dale, NY. She is passionate about meditation and has participated in many retreats.
Victoria has particular expertise in soul connection relationships, kundalini/spiritual awakening, paranormal experiences/investigations and house cleansings, mentoring in psychic development, and narcissistic abuse recovery. Victoria uses trauma-informed therapeutic techniques and also offers guided meditations, past life regression, somatic healing sessions, shamanic ceremonies, and sound healing with crystal bowls.
Her services focus on empowering clients to release emotions, heal trauma, recognize life patterns, reprogram negative beliefs, and gain a deeper understanding of their personal psychology and life purpose. She loves nature and her cat, Miracle
