Mediumship is traditionally focused on receiving personal messages for the living from loved ones who have passed away. This class will take the principles of mediumship and apply them to the creative process as a means of tapping into a source of inspiration that lies beyond our own minds, whether you choose to call that the dead, our unconscious or higher selves, the Earth, or any other form which cannot be known though our physical senses.
In this four week class, we will develop our ability to be inspired by the unseen when, where and how we choose; it is always there, we just need to learn how to perceive it. This class will—via lectures, guided meditation, exercises, readings and discussion--provide an intellectual framework along with energetic practices that will help students explore spirit connection during various points of the creative process. After the first meeting, students will choose a specific creative form to practice throughout the class and to present as a final project.
Week One: History, Choosing a Form & Quieting
Foundational information about mediumship from a historical and practical perspective.
Week Two: Asking & Identifying
Establishing a connection that is understandable, safe and usable.
Week Three: Receiving & Translating
Learning to listen and using the three minds: engagement, acknowledgement and assessment.
Week Four: Managing the Connection & Presentations
How to move forward with your practice and hearing from fellow students about how they use theirs.
Image: Tidings of Joy, Hilma af Klimt, 1920. af Klimt was a Swedish Spiritualist, researcher of the natural world and prolific painter who said of her work “I did this physically, but it’s not by me, it came through me. I was in contact with energies greater than me.” She instructed her family to keep her entire body of work, including more than a thousand paintings and 25,000 pages of writings, but not to show it until 20 years after her death and never to sell it.
