“Exquisite Self-Care in Uncertain Times” with Betz McKeown

Thursday, April 3rd & Friday, April 4th, 2025 - 6:30 pm EST

Much of our lives can feel uncertain, some more than others. But it’s safe to say that the days we currently find ourselves living through are the most uncertain in a generation, if not a century.

The news of daily events bombards us like a firehose. We find ourselves disconnected from the ones we love, either through distance or belief. Our communications mostly consist of a few typed words via text or message board. We are preoccupied with social media, doom-scrolling in an effort to keep up with what’s going on around us. We feel lost, ungrounded, and unsure of what to do. All of this contributes to feelings of worry, anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness, grief.

But there are easy, simple ways to rise above these challenging emotions. In this class, we will explore and practice low- and no-cost ways to regulate your nervous system, reset your day, and release these uncomfortable and health-diminishing feelings and replace them with peace, comfort, joy, even bliss. Betz will lead participants in simple exercises, such as self-energy healing techniques and Vagus nerve exercises, that can be done at home on your own, as well as suggestions for activities that you can share with friends and family. Every participant, in-person and virtual, will receive handouts and Powerpoint slides of the information shared in class, as well as downloadable audio meditations and exercises.

“Develop Your Own Intuitive Abilities” with Psychic Medium Frank Chodl

Tuesday, April 15th, Wednesday, April 16th, and Thursday, April 17th, 2025 - 7 pm EST

What is ESP? Who has it? Why can THEY do it, but I can’t?

This class will NOT give you psychic abilities. They are not intended to turn anyone into an expert mind reader. Rather the purpose of these lessons is to open additional pathways to deeper listening and understanding. Speak and listen with your head, your heart, and your spirit. Intuitive abilities are innate in every one of us. How many times have you picked up your phone just as the person you were thinking about was calling you? You just need to recognize and develop your own abilities. 

In these three 2-hour classes you will learn about and receive basic training in ESP, Telepathy, and Remote Viewing to reawaken and expand your innate intuitive abilities. Each class will include an in-depth introduction to each of these abilities, grounding and centering meditations, and guided exercises in the practice of these skills. The student workbook covers all the class information, a note taking guide, and step-by step lessons that we will be practicing. It also offers exercises and games that you can do at home, anytime with friends and family, to develop your skills as far as you want.

Oh yeah and be ready to have fun.

More on Frank:

An internationally recognized psychic medium, Frank Chodl’s numerous books, classes, and seminars bring together his expertise in teaching and decades of paranormal experience, along with his love for research and investigation. He first became aware of his abilities when he was only eight years old and was first identified as a “Deep Trance Medium” by the late Lorraine Warren, in 1975. In his work as a psychic medium, Frank has provided countless amazingly accurate and meaningful readings and spirit liftings throughout his career. 

He has been observed by Psychologists, Parapsychologists, and Paranormal Investigators and has done readings and liftings for individuals and groups in private homes, historic inns and hotels, battlefields, and cemeteries. His investigations have taken him around the world to sites like the Forbidden City in Beijing, PRC, the Anasazi ruins in Colorado, the ancient city of Pompei, standing stones and stone circles in the British Isles, Mayan ruins in the jungles of the Yucatan, and islands in the Bermuda Triangle.

“A medium is a go-between, the conduit for interaction between persons living on this physical plane of existence and those who have died. Many mediums like me depend on the aid of entities who are fully aware of both sides of the veil.  They are often referred to as guides or Guardian Angels. Yes, I speak to dead people. Or, more accurately, they speak to me and, with the help of my Guides, a collective who I call ‘the Marie’, I translate for them.”

“Spirit Love: Intimate Encounters with Spirit” with Lee Morgan - Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025 - 6 pm EST

Sex and love with spirits seen as the Fair Folk, the dead, imps, called succubi, incubi, or devils, is just as common in records of witchcraft and seership as harming, feeding, tending, and mending. These bonds were of great interest to interrogators. Some types of encounters were considered dangerous even to layfolk, especially those involving the Good Neighbours. Here we will talk about ways to encourage intimate encounters with spirits, how to make the situations as safe as possible, and avoid harm. But also look at how different spirits are after different things from you. Sexual exchanges are (usually!) not about reproduction, but the exchange of other qualities between human and spirit. Having an understanding of this in itself makes the person safer when they set out to explore the world of spirit love. 

-Make bonds with spirits that are fulfilling

-Understand how your body signals are a language

-Forge strong connections to support you in these difficult times

-Work on pre-existing spirit relationships and deepen finesse.
