Explore different mediumship circles

What is a Mediumship Circle, and what is the best one for you and your development as a medium?

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to be a medium? Whether you're a seasoned professional or just dipping your toes into the fascinating world of spirit communication, it can sometimes feel lonely and challenging. Questions swirl in your mind: “Am I doing this right?” “Is this a genuine connection or just my imagination?” “Why can’t anyone else relate to my experiences?”. As a circle leader and teacher, I’ve repeatedly heard these concerns.

That's why I've put together this guide to help you navigate the diverse landscape of mediumship circles. By the end, you might discover the ideal setting that resonates with your spirit—or maybe you'll realise that one-on-one mentorship is the way to go. Remember, there’s no wrong way to learn; each journey is as unique as you are.

What is a Mediumship Circle?

At its core, a mediumship circle is a gathering where individuals come together to nurture their ability to connect with spirits and convey messages from the spirit world. Usually led by an experienced medium, these circles offer a supportive and structured environment for spiritual growth and learning. The primary goal? Connect with the spirit realm and practice the art of confidently delivering messages.

Why would you choose to learn through a circle?

Most lightworkers would agree that you never stop learning; circles are a great and affordable way of learning many skills or keeping on top of your current skill set. Learning Mediumship should not be expensive, and it should not be too prescriptive. A good leader will learn how you naturally connect and introduce you to techniques and knowledge to maximise that connection. After all, connecting is not a one-size-fits-all. It is not unusual for it to take a few different circles before you find your fit, and even then, you could grow out of it and need to find a new one.
