Continue your journey toward mediumship mastery following in the footsteps of Mavis Pittilla.
Enhance your mediumship sessions with new skills and techniques – including the use of color, and reading and interpreting the auric field – and exploring the intricate layers of “Worlds Within Worlds.”
Quality mediumship brings profound healing to both worlds.
– Mavis Pittilla
You took a life-changing leap when you answered the call to explore mediumship in the Essentials Training (Level 1), 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, says Jean Else, like so many who’ve traveled this path before you, you’ve likely arrived at a pivotal point on your mediumship journey.
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 continue onward toward mediumship mastery.
You’re now invited to reunite with your mediumship community, deepen your proficiency, and add to your toolkit in Skill Building (Level 2), the next stage of The Evidential Mediumship Academy.
Selected Teacher Mentors (TMs) with the highest number of returning students from their Essentials Training (Level 1) Mentorship Circles will return for Advanced Mentorship Circles in Skill Building (Level 2). These intentionally small groups provide personalized feedback, foster meaningful peer connections, and support the deepening of your mediumship practice.
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 Teacher Mentors are back to support and guide you as you continue on your path. They’ll share their own deep levels of expertise to help you 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. During the Level 2 practicums, you will conduct private sittings and demonstrations with members of the public.
After the conclusion of the Part III learning cycle, each student will spend the final month of the program 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:

A new 90-minute Theory Class with Jean will be released each Friday throughout the three learning cycles (Parts I, II, and III), covering the corresponding units in a structured, week-by-week progression. Each 90-minute class will feature both Jean's instruction and Mavis' theory.

Jean will teach one monthly Integration Session on the last Thursday of the month for each of the three learning cycles (Parts I, II, and III) to cover the corresponding units. Studying the science and theory of evidential mediumship provides a solid foundation and understanding of how to connect with the spirit world and practice mediumship ethically, while illuminating the profound impact it can have on our lives. After each monthly 90-minute Integration Session, there will be an optional 30-minute breakout session for those who would like to practice with a partner.
Every week that Jean’s class sessions are held will also feature a Mentorship Circle. Led by a cohort of Mavis Pittilla-Authorized Teacher Mentors, Circles will include dedicated time for Q&A and be offered for a variety of days and times to accommodate varying time zones, levels of experience, and availability. Once a specific Circle has been chosen, each student will remain with their same small group and mentor for the entirety of the Skill Building program. Attendance of all Mentorship Circles (4 per month, 36 total) is required to earn the program’s Certificate of Completion.
High-quality digital video and MP3 audio recordings of Theory Classes and Integration Sessions will be available every Friday to stream. You’ll never have to worry about missing a session, and you can access them anytime and anywhere at your convenience.
Each Mentorship Circle session will be recorded and made available to individual Circle members only – providing a safe container and maintaining confidentiality. You’ll be able to review your progress based on feedback from your mentors and watch your growth and development over time. Witnessing your own practice and presentation is an invaluable part of your mediumship journey.
You’ll also receive the entire transcription of each Theory Class and Integration Session. You can then review, print, and highlight the insights and practices you found most impactful.
Our exclusive online community is the perfect place to continue your discovery process. Here, you can continue the discussion about your program materials and interact with your fellow participants to take your exploration to an even deeper level.
During this 12-month training program, you’ll be immersed in theory, practice, and mentorship. Your highly qualified teachers will share skills, techniques, and wisdom you can use to deepen your self-development and mediumship skills as you learn how to better serve the world with your mediumship practice.
