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, Mother Earth, or any other form which cannot be known through our physical senses.
In this updated six 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 asked to choose a specific creative form or project to practice throughout the class. We will have time in the last class to share our process and resultant works.
Students are encouraged to join the weekly practice circles on Friday evenings. If you’ve taken Mediumship for Creativity in the past, a lot of the material has been updated and deepened, you are welcome to join again.
Week One: History & Choosing a Form
Foundational information about mediumship from a historical and practical perspective.
Week Two: Quieting & Centering
Making space for subtle communication and establishing a connection with ourselves.
Week Three: Asking & Identifying
Practicing noticing, directing focus, consent and opening the connection outside of ourselves.
Week Four: Receiving & Translating
Learning to listen, externalize what we receive and using the three minds: engagement, acknowledgement and assessment.
Week Five: Managing the Connection
Turning the connection on and off and reviewing the entire process.
Week Six: Project Sharing & Closing
How to move forward with your practice and hearing from fellow students about how they use theirs.
