Workshops

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
Khalil Gibran

As a state certified teacher with more than 15 years experience instructing a range of subjects to students from elementary age to university level, I bring a wealth of proven talent to bear in creating and delivering course material. Workshops that I am ready to facilitate include:

  • Grounds in your Coffee – An Idiot’s Guide to Coffee Tasseography As a long-time café owner in the Middle East, I am quite experienced with reading coffee grounds. This workshop is a fun, inter-active introduction to this ancient form of divination. A Turkish coffee pot, cup, saucer, coffee and highly informative course booklet are provided.
    • In July 2013, Maxine presented this workshop ISD Sparta in Sparta, New Jersey and the Universal Unity of Spirit Church in Cassadaga, New York.
  • ·Everyday Skills of Sensitivity With a little instruction and practice, everyone can learn to play the piano. Likewise, everyone can develop useful skills which are inherent in our nature and can enhance their lives. This journey gives you the framework and many, many ways of ‘following your gut.’ A fun, interactive, and rewarding time for everyone! A lengthy course booklet is provided.
    • In September 2015, Maxine presented this workshop  at the Summerland Church of Light, NSAC, in Hauppauge, New York
  • ·Mediumship as Service A comprehensive examination of serving others through mediumship. Provides a solid foundation in the training of mediums and uses lectures, tutorials and exercises as well as giving the student an extensive course booklet. Much of the material in this workshop can be traced back to the great British medium Gordon Higginson which was passed down through his students who have tutored me.
  • ·Inspirational Speaking During the advent and heyday of Modern Spiritualism, mediumship in the form of Inspirational Speaking was far more prevalent than it is now. Mediums such as Emma Hardinge Britten and Cora Richmond graced the platforms of countless churches and captivated audiences speaking on subjects they knew nothing about. This type of mediumship is a state of light trance erroneously called ‘channeling’ and it is still available for us today if we only seek it.
    • In July 2013, Maxine presented a workshop titled “Double Dealing, Cards That Impress & Inspire” at the Universal Unity of Spirit Church in Cassadaga, New York.

  • ·From Medium to Mystic (The Superior Condition) For those mediums who continually thirst for a union with the Divine. Mediums who travel the ‘Pathway to Mysticism’ view the universe differently and this is seen in the esoteric nature of their evolving mediumship. This journey challenges mediums to new levels of philosophical understanding and enhanced abilities as they move toward ‘the Superior Condition.’

We are stewards of our [mediumistic] powers on behalf of others and use them to help, teach, and serve our fellows and, in such service, we shall ourselves be blest.
E. W. and M. H. Wallis
