Serving Spirit I

A hands-on course in evidential mediumship for students at all levels, instructor Suzanne Giesemann holds nothing back as she shares her proven tools and tips for connecting with those who have passed.

Suzanne Giesemann’s workshop offers a balance between the theory of spirit communication and actual practice of making contacts “across the veil” with an emphasis on receiving verifiable evidence as well as messages. You will have the opportunity to immediately apply what you learn in multiple practice sessions. 

Make contact beyond physical matter reality with an emphasis on receiving verifiable evidence. Not everyone who attends the Serving Spirit workshop intends to become a medium. For many folks, the goal is to improve their connection with higher consciousness for their own spiritual growth.

Learn how to access the optimal states of awareness for mediumship. Gain an appreciation for the sacredness and responsibility of serving as the voice for those in the spirit world. Understand how and why communication with the nonphysical world is possible and experience the difference between psychic work and mediumship.

Learn a proven seven-step process for connecting with Higher Consciousness. Practice doing one-on-one evidential readings. Learn “best practices” for working with the highest possible integrity. Access a greater depth of information from the spirit world by working through the heart to expand your awareness of the vast amount and kind of information those in spirit are waiting to share with 

Held at the Monroe Institute’s Virginia campus, this sacred space offers greater seclusion, silence, and opportunities for stillness. In the tradition of Robert A. Monroe, you will discover that you are far more than a physical body. You will experience guided meditations with Hemi-Sync® technology authored and narrated by Suzanne specifically for accessing the optimal states of awareness for mediumship. 

Special bonus. On Saturday evening Suzanne will demonstrate a channeling session, allowing her guides, Sanaya, to teach one module of the class.

Register early Suzanne’s workshop is in high demand and fill quickly. To hold your spot make your reservation early!
