Enhance your mediumship sessions with new skills and techniques, including the use of color, reading and interpreting the auric field, and exploring the intricate layers of “worlds within worlds,” among many others.

Last year, you took a life-changing leap when you answered the call to explore mediumship — developing your skills so you could serve as a sacred bridge to the Other Side.
Perhaps you overcame deep-seated doubts and long-held skepticism as you stepped forward to help others open to a more loving, trusting, and spiritual relationship with the Universe.
Now, like so many who’ve traveled this path before you, you’ve likely arrived at a pivotal point on your mediumship journey, says your teacher Jean Else.
This is the moment to advance beyond where you are today and commit to continuous growth, ensuring you become the best medium you can be.
It’s been said that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in a new discipline. It’s time to solidify the growth in your mediumship as part of your personal development and life’s work — as you continue onward toward mediumship mastery.
You’re now invited to reunite with your mediumship community, deepen your skills, and add to your toolkit in the next program level in The Evidential Mediumship Academy — Skill Building.
With more intimate mentorship circles, your teachers can enhance and deepen your craft and delivery of private sittings and demonstrations.
This advanced training is for those who have made the commitment to strive for excellence in their craft and are ready to explore the next chapter of their lives and work as an evidential medium in the iconic lineage of Mavis Pittilla.
Jean Else and her team of Mavis Pittilla-Authorized Teachers are back to support and guide you as you continue on your path. They’ll share their own deep levels of expertise to build upon and refine your mediumship skills.
This year-long program will once again be structured like academic quarters. There will be three learning cycles (Parts I, II, and III) consisting of unit-specific classes and mentorship circles, with each cycle spanning three months. After the conclusion of Parts I and II, each student will participate for one month in a concentrated, guided practicum on the learning cycle just completed. The practicums in this program will have you working with members of the public, undertaking private sittings and demonstrations.
After the conclusion of Part III, each student will spend the last month in a focused practicum, reflecting on and synthesizing all they’ve learned.
Your journey will continue to unfold through frequent, supportive experiences and interactions with your peers and Teacher Mentors to deepen and strengthen your practices. This journey will include:
