A Creative Journey to Calm, Clarity & Self-Discovery
When was the last time you gave yourself permission to simply slow down, breathe deeply, and create — without expectations or judgment?
Join Lisa McNeeley for a peaceful and inspiring experience that blends guided meditation with intuitive art, inviting you to reconnect with yourself through creativity, mindfulness, and reflection.
This isn’t about artistic talent or creating a perfect piece of artwork. Instead, it’s an opportunity to quiet the busy mind, calm the nervous system, and allow your intuition to express itself naturally through color, shape, and imagination. Often, our deepest insights arise when we stop trying to think our way to the answers and simply allow ourselves to create.
The experience begins with a gentle guided meditation designed to help you relax, become present, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. From there, you’ll be invited into an intuitive art process where there is no right or wrong way to create—only an opportunity to explore, express, and discover.
Throughout this heart-centered workshop, you’ll:
🎨 Create an intuitive work of art that reflects your own inner journey.
💜 Experience a calming guided meditation that encourages relaxation and emotional balance.
🌿 Reduce stress while supporting nervous system regulation through mindfulness and creativity.
✨ Explore thoughts, emotions, and personal insights in a gentle, supportive environment.
🌸 Reconnect with your authentic self through self-expression and reflection.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, creatively stuck, seeking greater clarity, or simply longing for an afternoon of peace and renewal, this experience offers a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.
No artistic experience is necessary. Beginners are warmly welcomed, and many participants discover that letting go of perfection opens the door to unexpected creativity and insight.
All art supplies are included. Simply bring yourself, an open heart, and a willingness to explore.

🧭 Dowsing & Pendulum Magic: Learn It, Try It & Take the Tools Home 🌀
2026-11-15 13:00 - 14:30 | The Spirit University, 373 Braden Ave, Sarasota, 34243
Discover what happens when you stop guessing… and let the tools respond.
Pendulums and dowsing rods have been used for centuries to explore questions, locate what is hidden, notice subtle changes, and strengthen intuitive awareness.
In this engaging, hands-on workshop with Jane Mills, you won’t simply hear about dowsing — you’ll actually experience it for yourself.
And you’ll leave with your own pendulum AND set of dowsing rods so you can continue practicing at home. 🔮✨
YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO:
✨ Hold and work with a pendulum and dowsing rods correctly
✨ Establish your personal yes, no, and neutral responses
✨ Ask clearer questions for more meaningful results
✨ Practice locating objects and exploring subtle responses
✨ Use dowsing for intuitive exploration and personal insight
✨ Recognize when you may be influencing the answer — and how to reset
✨ Build confidence through guided, hands-on exercises
The fun really begins when you watch the rods move… or see your pendulum begin to respond.
Is it intuition? Subtle movement? Energy? Something more?
Come explore it for yourself.
🎁 YOUR TOOLS ARE INCLUDED
Each participant receives:
🔮 One pendulum
🧭 One set of dowsing rods
You’ll use both during the workshop — and they are yours to take home afterward.
Never used either one before? Perfect.
This class is designed to make dowsing approachable, fascinating, and easy to begin exploring right away. No previous experience is needed — just bring your curiosity.

Come for the writing. Stay for the connection.
What might happen if you stopped trying to find the right answer — and simply allowed the words to come?
Automatic Writing Circle is a welcoming weekly gathering that combines automatic writing, intuitive exploration, meaningful conversation, and community connection.
Each gathering begins with a gentle grounding and a fresh question or theme designed to quiet the analytical mind and help you write freely, without editing, judging, or trying to make sense of what appears.
You may discover a thought, feeling, memory, image, insight, answer, or unexpected inner nudge. Sometimes what comes onto the page surprises us.
Afterward, we open the circle for conversation, reflection, and connection. You are welcome to talk about what came up for you, ask questions, listen to others, or simply enjoy being among people who are exploring too.
You never have to read what you’ve written. Share as much or as little as feels comfortable.
✨ No writing experience needed
✨ No automatic writing experience needed
✨ Beginners are warmly welcome
✨ A new theme or exploration each week
✨ Come once or return regularly
✨ Bring a journal or notebook and a pen
With Victoria Ackerman and Linda Madden

Sometimes the answers we have been searching for appear when we stop trying so hard to find them.

PSYCHIC PRACTICE LAB: Sharpen Your Intuition
2026-11-18 19:00 - 20:30 | The Spirit University, 373 Braden Ave, Sarasota, 34243
IN PERSON or ONLINE
What if your psychic ability isn’t something you need to “find” — but something you can strengthen through focused practice?
Psychic Practice Lab is an ongoing, hands-on development experience with Chenylle Mercado for people who want to go beyond simply learning about psychic ability and actually practice using it.
Each gathering is different.
You may experiment with blind remote viewing, telepathy, Zener cards, energy transmission, psychometry, precognition, symbolic perception, written psychic readings, evidential mediumship exercises, and other carefully designed challenges that help you recognize how intuitive information reaches you.
This is not about performing, proving yourself, or getting everything right.
It is about learning to recognize your own psychic language and becoming more accurate, discerning, and confident in what you receive.
What will you explore?

What does a genuine psychic impression feel like for you?
Do you receive through images, words, feelings, physical sensations, symbols, or sudden knowing?
Can you tell the difference between a first intuitive impression and what the analytical mind adds afterward?
Can you perceive information about a hidden target before it is revealed?
What happens when information is intentionally transmitted from one person to another?
Can you distinguish psychic information from mediumistic impressions?
How can you become more specific without forcing or overinterpreting what you receive?

Whenever possible, exercises include clear validation, allowing you to compare what you recorded with the actual target or information afterward.
That immediate feedback is one of the most valuable parts of practice. It can help you begin recognizing:
What you receive accurately.
How the information tends to arrive.
When you trust your first impression.
And when your analytical mind begins filling in the blanks.
Some practices may focus on clairvoyance, while others develop clairsentience, clairaudience, claircognizance, telepathy, remote perception, precognition, psychometry, energetic awareness, or evidential mediumship.
Because the exercises rotate, you can return again and again without simply repeating the same experience. Each gathering gives you another opportunity to experiment, stretch your abilities, receive validation, and discover something new about the way you work psychically.
This series is especially suited to those who already have some experience with psychic or intuitive development, although newer participants who are ready to challenge themselves are warmly welcome.
The experience is designed for both in-person and online participation, with remote participants actively sending, receiving, practicing, and validating right alongside everyone in the room.
Bring something to write with, come curious, and be willing to record the impression that seems too random, too simple, or too strange to matter.
It may be the one that turns out to be right.
RECEIVE FIRST. INTERPRET SECOND. VALIDATE THIRD.
Come practice. Experiment. Be surprised. And discover just how much more there may be to your intuition when you give it something meaningful to do.
