A short talk on the importance of learning the art of storytelling for mediumship

Karen’s approach is both exciting and deeply insightful. She teaches us to allow the details to emerge naturally in a story, which feels organic and true to the essence of spirit communication.

Bring More Sophistication to Your Mediumship

If you're eager to bring sophistication to your mediumship that is more aligned with our understanding of consciousness in the twenty-first century, this innovative course is tailor-made for you. It is designed to take mediumship beyond mere facts and rote message-giving to teach you the art and techniques that will lay the neural pathways needed to receive and share the communicator’s story and give full expression to their life.

Become an Authentic Voice for Spirit

Too often, mediums end up “snatching” lists of facts, but that’s not how we communicate and certainly isn’t what the communicator is trying to share. To be an authentic voice for the spirit, this course will teach you the art of embodying character to truly convey the essence of the spirit communicator’s very being from a place of openness, intimacy, and connectedness. In this way, you can deliver intimate and soul-stirring connections that can profoundly affect the recipient and those in spirit form.

Learn the Art of Storytelling

Have you sat in circles and heard phrases like “feel into it” to get more information but not quite know how?

It’s simple: if you want to receive and share the fullness of the communicator’s story, you first have to know how to tell a story. Few people are good natural-born storytellers, but this art can be taught and learned. The key is to learn it from someone who truly understands story and spirit communication. This combination provides a unique blend of creative and structured insights and helps you master narrative art, enabling you to convey complex ideas and emotions effectively.

With my expertise, you'll develop the skills to craft impactful and transformative stories that will have a transformative effect on your recipients.

An incredible experience! Karen challenged me to refine and elevate my mediumship skills. I’ve learned so much and have loved discovering new ways to enhance my mediumship.

  • A Whole New Level

    Karen is an extraordinary teacher. In six short weeks, my mediumship went to a whole new level. I have more confidence and can relax and be more present, feeling into what spirit is communicating.

    I appreciate her method of “following the story,” which leads to more meaningful communication than just “skimming” for facts. Karen showed us just how easy it is to feel into that information.

    I also appreciate Karen’s of Zen and helping students understand the challenges of ego . I have grown not only as a medium, but personally as well.

    I took Mediumship Development with Karen and it far exceeded my expectations.
