Saturday, December 21st: Winter Solstice Sound Bath & Cacao Ceremony:
w/ Annabelle Ludwig & Company
6:00 - 7:30 p.m. $35.-/person, Limited to 20; Advanced reservations required.
Ludwig & Company Limited space; please register early.
This past December’s solstice sound bath & cacao ceremony were nothing short of magical. We began with an offering of warmed cacao, a plant-based elixir that assists in grounding and centering, and then participants were able to enjoy the lovely soul-resonating sounds of the Tibetan singing bowls. As I tried to unobtrusively take photos, I witnessed with both my naked eye and on my brief recording the orbs manifesting and shooting about the room. It was indescribably lovely and I hope to get better photos this coming year! What a perfect way to softly send the shortest day of the year to bed, (in the Northern Hemisphere), and allow Mother Earth her rest before she springs awake at Equinox in March!
You are welcome to bring a yoga mat, bolster, blanket, etc. For those who choose to not lie on the floor, comfy chairs will be available for you to sit in, relax and enjoy the session.
Please arrive 10-mins in-advance to get comfortable in your energetic space.

Saturday, January 18th: Who's Your Buddha, Buddy?: w/ Colleen
2:30 - 4:00 p.m. $15.-
Have you ever noticed that some Buddha's are pensive and meditative while other's are joyful and laughing, and others still have coins or money around them? In energy or Feng Shui practice, placing a Buddha can really shift the energy within your home, garden or work space, but choosing the correct Buddha is imperative. For example, if you place a joyfull Buddha in your bedroom and have noticed a disruption in your sleep or inability to sleep, it may be due to that Buddha. Come learn about the many types of Buddha statues available on the internet and how you should honor and place him correctly for ultimate Buddha-power, enlightenment, strength and serenity!

9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. $250.-/person, (with a mid-day break/lunch on your own)
This class will lean-in on basic mediumship practices including how to ascertain what you're encountering, how to dialogue (respectfully!), with energetic entities, tools of mediumship including the "clairs," dousing/pendulum work, psychometry, recognizing, opening and closing portals, basic terminology, and the responsibility you incur, energetically and legally, when you practice MENTAL mediumship, (i.e. doing "readings").

BIG HAPPENINGS COMING IN JUNE, 2025!
1. Friday, June 20th: Summer Solstice Sound-Bath & Cacao Ceremony:
TBD: Please save the date!
2. Thursday, June 26th: Quadruple Blindfolded Billet Readings & Apportation w/ Mychael Shane:
7:00 - 9:30 p.m. Please plan to arrive between 6:45 - 6:55 p.m.
$185 for Individuals *not* taking the weekend class outlined below, (normally $222.-)
$135 for Students taking the weekend class outlined above, (an $87 savings!)
All attendees will be given a brand-new index card from a freshly opened pack. They will be instructed to print a number or series of numbers, (up to 10 digits), that means something to them, (old address, phone number, etc), on one side of the card and then print ONE questions on the other side. Mychael will then be blindfolded, four times, and checked by an audience member for authenticity to his visual-restriction. Then, a basket will be passed and the cards collected. Mychael will then be handed the basket, will mix the cards and pull them out, one-by-one. First he will psychically "read" the number and receive verification for accuracy by his sitter/helper, and then he will psychically "read" the question and provide an answer. Once he has provided the answer, the card will be passed to his assistant/helper who will read the question out-loud. I have seen Mychael do blindfolded billet readings about 12x and he has always had a 100% accuracy rate, which is simply astounding! After the demonstration of blindfolded billet readings, Mychael will remove his blindfold, give a brief explanation about "apporting," (moving objects *into* a room without physical assistance), and will attempt an apportation in lighted conditions, and gift the objects to the attendees with messages from the energetic realm.
3. Friday, June 27: Darkened-Room Seance w/ Physical Phenomena Manifestation & Possible Apportations: w/ Mychael Shane & Julie Adreani, Physical Phenomena Psychic Mediums.
7:00 - 9:30 p.m. Lobby doors will be locked at 6:50 p.m. with no further admittance.
$185 for Individuals *not* taking the weekend class outlined above, (normally $222.-)
$135 for Students taking the weekend class outlined above, (an $87 savings!)
Join us once again as we welcome Physical Phenomena Psychic Mediums Mychael Shane and Julie Adreani for a darkened-room seance which promises phenomena including: manifestations, lectures or a Q & A directly from Spirit, and probably apports, (physical items being brought INTO the room). I have been blessed to host Mychael and Julie previously and their ceremonies are always evidential and uplifting! RESERVATIONS REQUIRED as seating is limited! Your payment will hold your place at this event; cancellations made within 5 days in-advance, (Monday, June 22), will receive a 50% refund.

***** An unprecedented WNY event, 175 years in the making! *****
4. Friday, Saturday & Sunday, June 27, 28 & 29:
PHYSICAL Mediumship Intensive Workshop w/ Instructor-Facilitated Cabinet & Trance Phenomena Intention: w/ Mychael Shane & Julie Adreani, Physical Phenomena Psychic Mediums.
[Friday: half-day, 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.; Saturday & Sunday: 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.]
PHYSICAL mediumship is practiced with the intention of producing physical phenomena, (ectoplasm, transformations, manifestations, apports, asports, etc...), HOWEVER, I found that after I completed Mychael's PHYSICAL mediumship class in 2021 I had a much deeper and more profound connection to the energetic plane, and that has assisted greatly in my MENTAL mediumship practice.
The Davenport Brothers were well-known *physical* mediums in the 1800s who were born and raised in Buffalo, NY, honed their skills, then traveled the world performing physical phenomena mediumship exhibitions that were truly remarkable, starting in 1855. To my understanding and investigative research, I have not found evidence of a PHYSICAL mediumship instruction class that has been taught, (openly), in the WNY area, ever, and certain aspects of PHYSICAL mediumship are not permitted to be taught on the grounds of Lily Dale, N.Y.; this class is the first of its type to be offered in this area and is open to anyone who is genuinely interested in *physical* mediumship and developing a deeper connection, working relationship and understanding with the energetic realm.
Tentative Class Instruction Times:
Fri, 06/27/2025: 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Sat, 06/28/2025: 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. (with lunch break {on your own})
Sun, 06/28/2025: 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. (with lunch break {on your own})
$1,500.-/student (Normally $2,600.-/student {a $1,100.- SAVINGS!!!})
[A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due on Monday, Feb 17, 2025 with balance due 1 week before the start of class. Payment plans can also be set-up on an individual basis as long as $500 is paid by 02/17/2025 with the remainder paid-in-full by 06/22/2025]
NOTES:
- *** ALL students/attendees must have participated in, minimally, ONE darkened-room seance with practitioners such as: Mychael Shane, Julie Adreani, Gary Mannion, Bill Boldt, etc... If you have not experienced a darkened-room seance prior to this workshop, then attending Mychael & Julie's seance Friday night, 06/27/2025, (see above), is MANDATORY to participate in Saturday and Sunday's class.
- Students/attendees MUST be comfortable sitting in complete darkness for 90-mins or more, per practice sitting.
- Open-mindedness, positivity and support/respect of fellow students is a MUST.
- Every student/attendee is at a different place in their development, for some this may be their first official instruction and experience actually sitting in a seance cabinet and practicing physical mediumship with guidance, support and feedback; for others this may be an opportunity to sit with Mychael and Julie (again) to sharpen their skillset and deepen their craft/connection while receiving positive critique to hone your skills. We will all uplift and support one another!
- LIMITED!!! We will require a minimum of 10 registrants for class to hold, but we are limiting this class to no more than 20; that way everyone will receive a good amount of cabinet time/practice each day.

Definitions & Explanations for (some) Events:
What in the world is a "Sound Bath" & "Cacao Ceremony"?!?
~ A Sound Bath is a meditative experience where those in attendance are "bathed" in soothing, healing sound waves from a multitude of instruments including singing bowls, chimes, gongs, tuning forks and other instruments. It is meant to de-ruffle the aura and soul; it's beautifully relaxing, serene, grounding and allows you to sink into a deep, meditative state.
~ A Cacao Ceremony is *not* an opportunity to come drink hot cocoa! lol... A Cacao Ceremony is an ancient, sacred ritual that honors the elements and spirits of nature. It creates a harmonious matrix with all energies and is an expression of gratitude for life itself. Cacao is known to relax the body, increase focus, clarity, calming and is filled with antioxidants to assist the body's natural health and function. It also has been shown to lower blood pressure.
The session will begin with a little music to relax, and then the cacao ceremony in which you will be offered a cup of warmed cacao, (and several blended spices), followed by an opportunity to slip away into a deeply meditative state. It's a unique way to center one’s being and let go of what energies you’ve accumulated that no longer serve you. Recognize them, thank them for the learning, teachings and growth they brought to you, then let them go. Adding in the energy of the seasonal change merely assists in strengthening your conviction to let-go and start anew. Yoga mats are welcome, but you are *not* required to bring or have one to enjoy this event.
Seating is also provided for those who chose not to lie on the floor.
Billet:
A facilitator once told me: "A billet is a little love-letter to Spirit" And you know what? I found that explanation delightful and it has always stuck. Here's the general idea of how a billet session works, but please understand that every psychic-medium practitioner that performs billet readings, (and they are few and far-between), has their own methods, modalities and parameters for events; *all* are unique and all work with their own "Spirit team" so each time you attend a billet-reading event, the scenario may be slightly different, but it all serves the same purpose, belief, trust, faith and unequivocal knowing that we are loved from beyond.
General Parameters & Information for Billet Readings:
A new, sealed deck of index cards will be presented for inspection to a participant who does not know the Psychic-Medium. Once it's validated that the cards have not been tampered-with nor breached, the inspecting party will be asked to open the deck. Depending on how the Medium works, the new index cards will be passed, and you will be instructed to take ONE card and then continue to pass them on so that each person in attendance will receive ONE new index card. Hold onto it and do *nothing* until given further instructions by the Medium or the event host. Generally, you'll be asked to legibly print a number or question or person's name, (in the spirit world whom you'd like to hear from, {or even ask for the name of one of your Spirit Guides who works with you!}).
Ask about a loved-one passed, or about a job or a pending move or your love life. ANYTHING that pertains to YOU. Once you have finished printing you question, you'll be asked to hold your card against your heart to infuse your energy into it. Hence the sweet "love-letter" term for billets. The Medium is blindfolded and depending on how they work, they will either randomly draw the card from a basket in which they've been collected and then energetically "read" and answer the question, or in some cases, the basket is placed well out of the Medium's reach and Spirit will answer the question and write or even draw on the card. I have witnessed a few Psychic-Mediums demonstrate billet readings and each time it is beyond extraordinary! Billet Readings are always up-lifting, fun and astounding. Truly a memorable and never duplicated event as the participants are always different and the energy in the room is different as well.
Apport / Apportation/s:
In a nutshell, an apport is a physical item that is moved/transported from one location to another by means of energetic presence.
"Beam me up, Scotty!" Right? How many people know those words from the original Star Trek? Captain Jim and his crew would step onto their teleporter and apport from one location to another by "de-atomizing" and "re-atomizing".
Some Physical-Phenomenon Psychic Mediums have honed the ability to harness energy, (and all physical matter around us is, in fact, created by energy and the movement of atoms), and move it from one place to another. In doing so, and with the assistance of Spirits / Ascended Masters / Energetic Entities / Teachers / Guides / Angels, they are able to produce tangible, physical evidence from the energetic plane of existence. Prior to apporting, the Mediums will ask attendees who DO NOT KNOW THEM to inspect their person via pat-down, inspect their chair and the area surrounding them to ascertain that no slight-of-hand, trickery, misdeed or fraudulent event is occurring, nor that a "planted" item is being produced. Some Mediums apport in the light, others do so in the dark, (séances).
Séances:
For me, seances have to contain my required 4 E’s: Energetic, Educational, Enjoyable and most importantly, Evidential!
For the most part, all séances are started in completely darkened rooms, that means 100% no light, you cannot see your hand in front of your face. Why? Because in order to allow physical phenomenon to be created, it takes ectoplasm. Ectoplasm manifests easier and more readily in the dark. Also, cooler temperatures also assist this production. The optimum séance room temperature is 62-64 degrees Fahrenheit, so please dress appropriately or in layers. Depending on the Medium, there may be moments of dimmed lighting allowed during the séance, in a controlled fashion. But all seance participants must be comfortable sitting in close proximity in complete darkness for 90-minutes (or more) while Spirit/s & Energetic Entities manifest and interact with participants, (this doesn’t mean you’re going to get pulled out of your seat in the dark and asked to assist in a juggling routine!). Protocols, including locked suite/event facility doors, are enforced for the security for all attendees as well as the validation and evidential authenticity of any physical phenomena produced. All participants will be security-wanded prior to entering the séance room; no jewelry, shoes or electronics of any type are allowed in without knowledge and approval by the Medium and event host.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Colleen: (716) 725-0264
