Join a Circle

You’ve always sensed it. You’re just not sure yet what to do with it. The Practice Circle is where that changes — not through a fixed curriculum, but through guided practice with what you are already carrying. Every session is different; what stays the same is the structure, and the attention Eric gives each person in the circle.

Each circle is a safe, informal space to practice and explore your mediumistic and psychic abilities, whether you have formal training or a natural, untrained ability. Most people who attend have formal training, but it is not a requirement, and beginners are welcome. This is a come-as-you-can, drop-in session built around practice rather than a structured curriculum — Eric guides the work and gives feedback throughout.

Frequently Practiced

  • Going deeper into the evidence
  • Stronger blending
  • Color and auras
  • Private reading and gallery style (working for a group rather than one person)

Details: Every other Thursday, online via Zoom, 7–9 p.m. Eastern. Limited to 14 students. Zoom links and reminders are emailed the day of each session.

Awakening the Psychic Self

Begin your journey into the psychic self. Over three months, discover your soul, your leading psychic senses, and how to trust the wisdom that comes from within — the essential first step before mediumship.

$299Dates to be announced
Enroll Now

This 3-month introductory course is where it all begins — learning about you, your soul, and the abilities your soul affords you. Psychic, after all, means “of the soul.”

You’ll begin to sense the power of your own soul and build an understanding of the psychic senses and awareness that come with it. This is the starting point for learning mediumship.

“You must be a good psychic to be a good medium.” — Mavis Pittilla

What You’ll Experience

  • Guided power builds to help you begin sensing your soul
  • Discover your leading clairs (psychic senses) and learn to develop the rest
  • Learn to trust your soul to answer your own questions and communicate directly with your soul-self
  • Practice blending soul to soul with fellow students to psychically pick up information about their lives

How This Course Is Taught

This is not a self-study course where you’re left in breakout rooms without guidance. Eric is there with you throughout, offering individualized support and guidance — just as Mavis taught him. Breakout rooms are used sparingly at first, and introduced more as you build your own understanding and confidence.

Format: Three months, live and online. Limited to 14 students.

Blending with Spirit

Begin your journey into mediumship. Over three months, learn to shift your awareness to the Spirit World, blend with spirit people, and open your clair senses to communicate with them.

$299Dates to be announced
Enroll Now

This 3-month beginner mediumship course is your next step — learning to shift your awareness to the Spirit World using the power of your own soul. You’ll blend with the very real spirit people, opening your clair senses so that you can begin to communicate with them.

Beginners are welcome to start with either course. If you’d like to build a foundation in your own psychic awareness first, Awakening the Psychic Self is a great place to begin — but it isn’t required. If you’re ready to start connecting and communicating with spirit now, you’re welcome to start right here.

What You’ll Experience

  • Build power in a new way to blend with the Spirit World
  • Utilize your soul senses, the clairs, to perceive information from the spirit people you’re working with
  • Learn to talk with your guides and inspirers
  • Practice working with the family in the Spirit World of a fellow student
  • Learn how to conduct a private sitting
  • Gain confidence and trust along the way as you continue to practice

Guided, Not Self-Study

You won’t be left to figure this out alone in breakout rooms. Eric guides you personally throughout the course, offering individualized support and attention — the same hands-on mentorship he learned directly from Mavis Pittilla. Breakout room practice is introduced gradually, only as you build more understanding and confidence.

Format: Three months, live and online. Limited to 14 students.

“Eric is a student-centered teacher who uses a clear and direct approach. He is observant, supportive, and goal-oriented.”

— Barb, student

“Eric won’t tell you what you want to hear, and that’s exactly what makes him effective.”

— Jared, student

“Eric’s ability to follow the link with spirit is remarkable.”

— Kat, student

Single-Day · 6x/Year

Masterclasses

A focused day of teaching and group practice on one topic. All six are $179; dates to be announced.

Color & the Auric Field

A single-day masterclass on reading the aura’s living colors as dynamic, layered communication — not just naming a hue, but understanding why it’s there and what it points to in someone’s life. Live practice with real-time feedback.

$179
Book Now

Many students have a hard time seeing the colors in the auric field, let alone understanding the meanings and depth of information available within them. That frustration is real — and it’s learnable. This masterclass is a single-skill deep dive into reading the aura’s living colors, with live practice and real-time feedback. You’ll leave able to trust what you sense and use it: reading color as dynamic, layered communication from a sitter’s field, not just naming a hue, but understanding why it’s there, how it’s shifting, and what it points to in someone’s life.

Who it’s for: Mediums and psychics with some experience blending for psychic work. This is not a beginner class.

In this masterclass, you’ll:

  • Distinguish true auric color from projection, wishful thinking, and imagination
  • Learn how color shifts with emotion, health, and spiritual growth in real time
  • Build a working vocabulary for the aura’s layers and what each may reveal
  • Practice reading color through live, guided exercises with feedback
  • Translate color impressions into clear, actionable language for clients
  • Strengthen your confidence in your own sensing and your ability to read the auric field

Format: Single day, 3 hours, capped at 14 students for direct, personalized coaching.

Deeper Evidence Through Conversation

A single-day masterclass on pacing, presence, and follow-through — for mediums who pick up real evidential detail but find it doesn’t unfold into anything cohesive. Learn to follow spirit’s lead into real meaning, not just gather isolated hits.

$179
Book Now

Do you find you’re able to pick up pieces of evidential fact, but they don’t unfold into anything cohesive — or you keep landing on generic details like clothing or build? This masterclass focuses on pacing, presence, and follow-through, the piece most trainings skip because it’s hard to teach from a lecture. You’ll learn to engage more fully with the spirit world, stay present, and follow spirit’s lead into real meaning instead of rushing past it to the next piece of evidence.

Who it’s for: Mediums with reliable evidence who want their readings to feel like real conversation, not a checklist of hits.

In this masterclass, you’ll:

  • Move from evidence-gathering to genuine, layered communication
  • Learn techniques for following a thread instead of chasing disconnected hits
  • Develop the pacing and presence that let a reading breathe
  • Practice asking spirit clarifying questions in real time
  • Help sitters connect emotionally, not just factually, with what comes through
  • Build the confidence to communicate fluidly, without long pauses

Format: Single day, 3 hours, capped at 14 students for direct, personalized feedback.

Craft & Delivery

A single-day masterclass on delivery — word choice, tone, timing, and structure — so readings land with the precision and confidence their evidence deserves.

$179
Book Now

The connection is strong, but the delivery undercuts it — hedging language, rushed pacing, or unclear wording that costs a reading its impact. Most trainings never separate these two skills; this one gives you real-time feedback on how you say it, not just what you’re getting. You’ll learn word choice, tone, timing, and structure so your readings land with the precision, compassion, and confidence they deserve.

Who it’s for: Mediums who trust what they’re receiving but want their delivery to match the quality of their evidence.

In this masterclass, you’ll:

  • Learn to verbalize impressions into clear, specific language
  • Practice small, segmented delivery so information builds and deepens as you go
  • Develop tone and pacing that serve both the spirit world and the sitter, not just the message
  • Address the delivery of sensitive or difficult information with care and compassion
  • Reduce hedging language and increase confident, direct communication with feeling
  • Get real-time feedback on your delivery style in a supportive group setting

Format: Single day, 3 hours, capped at 14 students for direct, personalized feedback.

Double Links

A single-day masterclass in linking with a partner medium to the same spirit communicator at the same time — a distinctive technique for public and platform demonstrations, rarely taught elsewhere.

$179
Book Now

Learn to link with a partner medium so you’re both receiving from the same communicator — or their family — for one sitter, at the same time. It’s a distinctive, rarely-taught technique that makes for a memorable public demonstration, and it sharpens your own linking skills by working in real time alongside another medium.

Who it’s for: Mediums who want a distinctive skill for public and platform demonstrations — a technique for working alongside a partner medium that most programs don’t teach.

In this masterclass, you’ll:

  • Learn the mechanics of linking with a partner medium to the same communicator
  • Practice knowing when to speak and when to let your partner continue
  • Build the trust and flow needed for two mediums to work one link smoothly
  • Keep evidence clear and unified for the sitter even with two voices contributing
  • Gain a distinctive, memorable technique for public and platform demonstrations
  • Practice live with a partner during guided pair work in the room

Format: Single day, 3 hours, capped at 14 students for direct, personalized feedback.

Spiritual Assessments — Masterclass

A single-day masterclass in giving a structured, psychic read on where a client stands on their spiritual path — their lessons, gifts, and next steps — separate from spirit communication.

$179
Book Now

Clients often want a psychic read on where they stand on their spiritual path — not just messages from spirit — and most mediums have never been trained to give one. This masterclass fills that gap with a repeatable structure most trainings don’t address at all. You’ll learn to psychically assess where someone stands on their path — their lessons, setbacks, gifts, and next steps — and deliver that assessment in a way that’s grounded, useful, and empowering.

Who it’s for: Mediums and intuitives who want to offer a distinct, structured psychic reading focused on spiritual growth, not spirit communication.

In this masterclass, you’ll:

  • Learn the difference between a spiritual assessment and a typical psychic reading
  • Identify a sitter’s past and current growth using verifiable facts and patterns, not guesses
  • Recognize conscious or unconscious holdbacks, new or changing abilities coming online, and where the soul is ready to move forward
  • Practice delivering assessments that are honest without being discouraging — grounded and factual, not vague or overly mystical
  • Develop a repeatable structure for this type of reading
  • Build client trust through grounded, practical spiritual guidance

Format: Single day, 3 hours, capped at 14 students for direct, personalized feedback.

Power & Blending

A single-day masterclass on deepening blending and building the power behind it, for more detailed evidence and greater confidence — for mediums who feel distance in their link or want a stronger, clearer connection to the spirit world.

$179
Book Now

Deeper blending brings more powerful, detailed evidence — and without it, neither you nor the spirit world can communicate with real confidence. Rather than just pushing you to blend harder, this masterclass builds power and blending together. You’ll deepen your blending, increase the detail available in your evidence, and build genuine confidence — both in yourself and in the spirit people you’re working with.

Who it’s for: Mediums who feel distance in their link, or want a stronger, clearer knowing that the spirit world is with them.

In this masterclass, you’ll:

  • Learn to deepen blending and sustain the connection with confidence
  • Increase the physical and emotional detail available in your evidence
  • Practice managing intensity so blending stays clear and useful throughout a reading
  • Recognize the signs that your blend is deepening, so you can trust and follow it
  • Build stamina for sustained, high-level blending across a full reading or demonstration
  • Develop an easy, natural way to shift focus between pieces of evidence without losing the thread

Format: Single day, 3 hours, capped at 14 students for direct, personalized feedback.

Advanced · 4x/Year

Deep Dive Intensive

Two days of guided, teacher-led practice on one of four core topics — demonstrations, private sittings, evidential accuracy, or holding grief with care. Each topic is offered once a year. Limited group size. Dates to be announced.

Demonstrations — Platform Mediumship in Practice

Two days of hands-on platform practice — working a room, following the evidence to the right person, and demonstrating with the same evidential rigor you use one-to-one.

$550Dates to be announced
Book Now

Platform demonstration is a different skill than a private sitting — same evidential standard, but a different room, a different pace, and a whole audience to hold, even in the moments a message isn’t for the person you’re speaking to next.

What This Intensive Is

This Intensive is built around delivering a public platform demonstration: standing in front of a group, staying open as the spirit people choose you and the evidence leads you to the correct audience member, and holding the room’s attention while staying accurate. You’ll practice projecting presence and voice, staying aware of the room’s energy the way any presenter would, and pacing multiple messages inside a fixed window of time — all without losing the evidential specificity that separates real evidential mediumship from cold reading.

Delivering to the full group with direct teacher feedback, you’ll get repeated live reps at the parts of platform work that are hardest to practice alone: staying open and following the evidence confidently, recovering when a message doesn’t land right away, and closing cleanly. This Intensive assumes you already have the foundational skills from earlier coursework — the focus here is translating those skills to a public-platform setting, not teaching mediumship from scratch.

What You’ll Practice

  • Opening a demonstration and setting the room’s expectations
  • Staying open as the evidence leads you to the correct audience member
  • Pacing evidence for a group instead of a single sitter
  • Projecting voice and presence, and holding the whole audience’s attention even in the moments a message isn’t for them
  • Recovering gracefully when a message isn’t immediately recognized
  • Closing a demonstration cleanly and on time

Who This Is For

Students who’ve already put in the study and practice to hold a steady connection with the spirit world and communicate with them confidently — this Intensive isn’t a first exposure to the work — and are ready to bring that connection in front of a group, whether toward public platform work, community events, or simply to build confidence performing under pressure.

Why This Training Is Different

This is the Whole Medium Approach — taught only by Mavis Pittilla’s Authorized Teachers, so this exact methodology isn’t available outside that lineage of certified teachers. Capped at 14 students with direct teacher feedback on every demonstration, it’s real mentored learning, not a lecture you sit through.

Dates: To be announced for this cohort — one of 4 Deep Dive Intensive topics offered per year.

Private Sittings — The Art of the One-to-One Reading

Two days refining the one-to-one reading — rapport, presence, and staying in a real, ongoing conversation with the spirit world, practiced live with direct teacher feedback.

$550Dates to be announced
Book Now

A private sitting asks for something a room full of people doesn’t: building trust with one stranger quickly, then staying fully present with them for a sustained, often deeply personal stretch of time — sometimes thirty minutes, sometimes closer to an hour.

What This Intensive Is

This Intensive is built around the private one-to-one sitting structure — a more intimate, personal setting than a public demonstration. You’ll practice opening a sitting to set expectations and establish that you’re in charge of the session, then staying present as one or more people in the spirit world come through wanting to communicate — because a sitting is never really about delivering one fixed message, but about a real, ongoing conversation. You’ll work the full arc of a sitting repeatedly, in guided pairs, with feedback on pacing, tone, and evidence quality after each round.

This Intensive assumes you already have foundational sitting skills from earlier coursework. The focus here is refinement: finding your own personal reading style within the Whole Medium Approach, tightening your structure, and building the stamina and consistency a full sitting practice requires.

What You’ll Practice

  • Opening a sitting, setting expectations, and establishing that you’re in charge of the session
  • Building rapport with a stranger quickly
  • Staying present as one or more people in the spirit world come through, rather than focusing on a single fixed message
  • Reading the sitter’s responses and adjusting pace in real time
  • Staying evidential while remaining warm and present
  • Developing a personal reading style within the Whole Medium Approach
  • Closing a sitting with care, especially after emotionally heavy content

Who This Is For

Students who’ve already put in the study and practice to hold a steady connection with the spirit world and communicate with them confidently — this Intensive isn’t a first exposure to the work — and want to move from occasional practice sittings to a confident, repeatable one-to-one reading style, whether building toward a private sitting practice or simply deepening core skills.

Why This Training Is Different

This is the Whole Medium Approach — taught only by Mavis Pittilla’s Authorized Teachers, so this exact methodology isn’t available outside that lineage of certified teachers. Capped at 14 students working in guided pairs with direct teacher feedback, it’s real mentored learning, not a lecture you sit through.

Dates: To be announced for this cohort — one of 4 Deep Dive Intensive topics offered per year.

Evidential Accuracy & Specificity

The credential made teachable: two days on the specificity and true communication between both worlds that separates evidential mediumship from vague impressions.

$550Dates to be announced
Book Now

“Evidential” is the word in the credential — this Intensive is where you learn exactly what that means in practice.

What This Intensive Is

This is the craft-dimension Intensive built specifically around specificity: moving from a vague impression (“I’m getting a father figure”) to real, checkable evidence — a hobby, a shared memory, proof they’re still involved in your life today (they know what you did with their photo, that you kept their watch, that the china got broken in the move). You’ll practice avoiding fishing and generalized statements, delivering what you’re given with confidence, and letting the sitter answer plainly — yes, no, or I don’t know — rather than pushing past a “no.”

This Intensive is really about building a real relationship with the people in the spirit world — staying interested and engaged in what they’ve already told you, and letting that ongoing conversation lead to the depth, breadth, and unique detail that comes through and genuinely surprises a sitter or an audience. It ties directly to the MPLA/Mavis Pittilla lineage’s standard for what counts as real evidence, and it builds on earlier coursework, where the focus is building basic confidence — this Intensive is where that connection gets deepened.

What You’ll Practice

  • Moving from general impressions to specific, checkable evidence
  • Sharing hobbies, memories, and everyday proof of ongoing presence — not names — with confidence
  • Avoiding fishing and generalized “will land for anyone” statements
  • Delivering what you’re given confidently and letting the sitter answer plainly: yes, no, or I don’t know
  • Using multiple clairs — with clairsentience as an anchor — to receive and check what you’re given
  • Trusting the spirit communicator and asking them to clarify, rather than trying to turn a “no” into a “yes”

Who This Is For

Students who’ve already put in the study and practice to hold a steady connection with the spirit world and communicate with them confidently — this Intensive isn’t a first exposure to the work — and want to deepen the specificity and clarity of what comes through, the skill most directly tied to being recognized as a credentialed, evidential medium rather than a general intuitive reader.

Why This Training Is Different

This is the Whole Medium Approach — taught only by Mavis Pittilla’s Authorized Teachers, so this exact methodology isn’t available outside that lineage of certified teachers. Capped at 14 students working in guided pairs with direct teacher feedback, it’s real mentored learning, not a lecture you sit through.

Dates: To be announced for this cohort — one of 4 Deep Dive Intensive topics offered per year.

Holding Grief, Ethics & Energetic Boundaries

The relational side of the work: caring for both the sitter and the person in the spirit world, with real empathy in the moment that never becomes yours to carry.

$550Dates to be announced
Book Now

Grief will be in the room, whether it’s a sitting or a demonstration — this Intensive teaches you how to meet it fully without making it yours to carry.

What This Intensive Is

This is the second craft-dimension Intensive, and it addresses a real gap: the mechanics of running a sitting are covered elsewhere, but the relational and ethical side of sustaining this work over years is not. You’ll work directly with the practice of caring for both the sitter and the person in the spirit world, empathizing fully in the moment, and letting it pass through you rather than holding onto it at all — because it was never yours to carry. You’ll also work through where the ethical line sits around what is and isn’t appropriate to say to a sitter, and how to stay a clear, steady channel across a full sitting and teaching career.

This Intensive is as much about longevity as it is about any single reading. It’s for mediums who are already doing the work — sittings, demonstrations, teaching — and want a deliberate, teacher-led framework for doing it sustainably, with the same care and rigor the Whole Medium Approach brings to the evidence itself.

What You’ll Practice

  • Caring for both the sitter and the person in the spirit world, with real empathy that never becomes your own emotion to carry
  • Letting a sitter’s grief pass through you in the moment rather than holding onto it at all
  • Ethical boundaries: what belongs in a reading, and what doesn’t
  • Handling emotionally difficult content (sudden loss, suicide, trauma) with care
  • Staying a clear, steady channel sitting after sitting
  • Designing a sustainable pace across a sitting/teaching career

Who This Is For

Students who’ve already put in the study and practice to hold a steady connection with the spirit world and communicate with them confidently — this Intensive isn’t a first exposure to the work — and are actively doing sittings, demonstrations, or teaching, and want a deliberate framework for the emotional and ethical side of the work, not just the mechanics.

Why This Training Is Different

This is the Whole Medium Approach — taught only by Mavis Pittilla’s Authorized Teachers, so this exact methodology isn’t available outside that lineage of certified teachers. Capped at 14 students working in guided pairs with direct teacher feedback, it’s real mentored learning, not a lecture you sit through.

Dates: To be announced for this cohort — one of 4 Deep Dive Intensive topics offered per year.
