A “Registered Medium” is a title given to a Medium that has been recognized as a qualified Medium according to the guide lines of the Lily Dale Assembly. Registered Mediums have endured and successfully passed a rigorous testing and vetting process.

A “Mediumship Session,” (a.k.a. “a mediumship sitting”) is a time set aside to sit in the essence and presence of discarnate family and friends who have transitioned to the world of spirit. The medium in the session is the conduit that bridges the gap between the physical and spirit worlds and helps the spirit world to bring forth expressions that might include their truth, their love, experiences, insights, inspirations, observations, realizations, stories and memories.

The medium shares identifying qualities of the spirit communicator and helps to discern to whom they are speaking. These identifiers might include:

• Personality Traits

• Physical Characteristics

• Qualities of Temperament

• Habits and Hobbies

• Unique Abilities

• Characteristic Sayings

• Familiar Gestures

• Special moments only you knew you had

• Reminders of shared experiences

• Current thoughts and opinions

• Teaching stories of their life and/or the transition process

• Symptoms they felt from an illness/condition/death experience

• Realizations from life

• Especially relevant important messages just for you

The loved ones in the spirit world are motivated to communicate for a large number of reasons, unique to you and your life. The intelligence of the communication is determined before you arrive to your medium.

Sometimes you will know who is communicating immediately and sometimes you may need to go away, think about the evidence, feel it out or even research what you heard by discussing things with other family/friends who may also know your ancestry.

Expect truth and honesty from your medium. A mediumship session is a custom and organic process. The medium doesn’t control the people or information that unfolds, she simply gets out of her own way and gives you what she is receiving after having set a high standard and high intention of your best spiritual experience possible to occur while sitting with her.

The intelligence of the spirit world is remarkable, fascinating and if you pay attention might end up being life- changing for the better.

It is encouraged that you arrive to your session with an open heart and mind, with a feeling of anticipation and wonder and you will have a memorable experience. The Spirit World “has your back!” knows your heart and what you need.

Enjoy your sitting, may you be filled with blessings and healing and a whole lot of spirit love!

A “Spiritual Assessment" is Kathleen’s 55-minute session in which Kathleen will communicate illuminations, insights and teachings from guides, angels and loved-ones in the spirit world for the benefit of the sitter’s increased understanding and navigation of their life. Identification of potentials and limitations, obstacles and benefits, strategies and probabilities may be discussed in the context of the past and how it has shaped the present. The objective of the assessment is to convey spirit world support and encouragement to help sitters refine, clarify, motivate and inspire their spiritual purpose. Are you aspiring to develop as a professional medium or healer? Are you seeking spiritual fulfillment? Do you enjoy a broad perspective and map for your personal development journey? If so, then a “Spiritual Assessment” may be just the type of session you are looking forward to experiencing. FYI. Spirit communication from discarnate loved ones may occur during the session, however it will not be an intentional or primary focus of this session type.

A “Gallery Event” is what many people call a group gathering where one or more mediums are present giving identifying evidence and short greetings from spirit, to those present. Depending on the size of the group, greetings cannot be guaranteed for everyone, however everyone can learn and enjoy the spiritual healing and support available during this type of session. The formal name for this type of event is “Mediumship Demonstration.” Be sure to share with everyone in your group that communication will be given for as long as time allows and that what will be presented will be greetings, not “readings” or full in-depth messages.

Often this setting and form of mediumship is referred to as “Public Mediumship.”

A “Platform Mediumship Demonstration” is a formal way of referring to a mediumship demonstration that is given on the ‘platform’ during a formal or regular Spiritualist Church service. A platform demonstration is only a part of the whole service and usually at most, no more than 15 minutes in length.

As a Spiritualist Minister and Lily Dale Registered Spiritual Medium, Kathleen is familiar with platform protocols and would be honored to serve your church congregation.

Healing is the process of returning body, mind or spirit to it’s natural balanced state of functionality and being. All healers are facilitators only they do not ‘do’ the healing. Each recipient of healing heals in accord with their level of receptivity and their souls’ blueprint.

Kathleen is trained in Spiritual Healing, Usui Ryoko/Tibetan Reiki, Aura Clearing. Healing can be done in person or across the geographic distance.

A “Home Party” is a gathering together of friends and family at home. In-person or virtually, everyone receives a private 1:1 sitting. Home parties can be designed as full-length parties or mini-parties: i.e. 30 minutes or 15 minutes per each. Party discount rates are available.

When might you host a party for friends?

Kathleen is available to do mini-reading Pop-Up events for 8+ or more people sitting alone one after the other or she can address a group, giving the demonstration of spirit communication to everyone present giving as many messages as a 1 hour time frame allows.

A “Development Circle” (or “Home Circle” as Spiritualists have called it,) is a gathering of dedicated individuals who regularly and consistently show up for the purposes of service to the spirit world either by adding their love and energetic presence to the room for the benefit of the delegated medium/teaching medium or for learning and advancing their own intuitive and/or mediumistic abilities. (It is called a “circle” because we do indeed, sit in a circle!)

A minimum commitment of 5 people, for a minimum of 4 weeks is required if you would like Kathleen to be your lead medium either for regular spirit trance-induced spirit communication or personal spiritual development.

Hypnosis is a natural state of the mind that we experience and pass through as we ‘fall’ asleep and awaken. A hypnotist functions as a guide, making suggests for the person who wishes to shift their awareness into the hypnotic state. Anyone can awaken from a state of hypnosis any time–scientifically proven that humans will not receive suggestions and act upon them unless they are in alignment with the value and integrity of that request.

Everyone can access and perform self-hypnosis if they give themselves permission to do so by trusting the hypnotist, being comfortable with the concept and surroundings and being willing to relax and let go of fear and outcomes.

Kathleen, trained in Spiritual Hypnotherapy (–she does not do clinical hypnotherapy,) can provide In-private spiritual hypnosis sessions in: past life regression, soul alignment, life-planning session, ascension communication, soul harmony. Session length varies. Experience will vary. Al clients will speak at length of their desires and purposes for the session in advance, making a plan with Kathleen for achieving their goals.

A virtual class is a class taught online using Zoom technology and uploaded file documents which students can both access. Virtual classes allow for distance learning and study with Kathleen.

These classes are advertised and taught in a limited local area through the public school districts. They are intended as experiential, engaging and insightful ‘hobby’ classes and although a good introduction, are not meant for training serious mediums over the long term.

How Kathleen defines the following terms:

Workshop: A gathering in which she structures time together to include theoretical instruction, and intensive “hands-on” learning–practical instruction on narrowly defined and specific skill sets OR experimental exploration. Her workshops offer large blocks of inter-personal and peer practice times and interaction. A workshop utilizes a large block of time, 3+ hours with breaks and might be spread over a several days.

Class: A gathering in which students meet regularly to continue studies of an area of interest for the benefit of cumulative knowledge. Classes by Kathleen are structured as one-time blocks of 1 - 3 hours or as a series spread over several weeks. Theme specific, topics and subjects within focus might change weekly for the benefit of building a knowledge base. Instruction may be theoretical, practical or gleaned by example. She attempts to leave time every class for engaging and experiencial exercises and practice to reinforce learning.

Circle: A “circle” is a gathering of individuals of 5 or more that wish to dedicate themselves to the ongoing study of a subject area or discipline which has an undetermined destination or eta. The focus is on experience not outcomes. The intention is to learn through exchange of exposure to phenomena, energy, example and practice. Time length for circles is typically 1-hour. Circle commitment is required and regular attendance is expected.

Webinar: A “Webinar” by Kathleen is a pre-recorded, informative presentation that offers information and makes a call to action toward the end to benefit the viewer/listener.

Live Webinar: A “Live webinar” is a one-time, scheduled, informative presentation that offers information, engages the viewers/listeners and makes a call to action toward the end to benefit the viewer/listener. Open discussion may also be offered.

Web-ini: is a term Kathleen uses to describe her pre-recorded short information briefs that have a call to action at the end. Mostly to be found on her website, they will appear on Facebook and the occasional newsletter.

(Tea-Time) Short: a kernel of information is briefly shared by audio or visual in social medium. It could be a story, a poem, a quote, a thought for the day…etc. The aim is inform and entertain.
