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 through 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, demonstrations, 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. Students are encouraged to choose a specific creative form to practice throughout the class and we will have time in the last class to share our experiences and resultant works.
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 & Closing
How to move forward with your practice and hearing from fellow students about how they use theirs.

Agnes Pelton studied at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn when she was young and went on to develop a deep mysticism along with her art. She painted dreamy abstract visions, like Voyaging from 1931, that came to her while in a meditative state.
