Sherwood's first mediumship experience happened around the age of 8, having been visited by the spirit of a neighbor for 7 days. After delivering the information to the neighbor's family, Sherwood later discovered the person visiting him was in spirit.
Sherwood currently holds a CRMA and DSP certifications in the state of Maine and he uses this professional knowledge to assist him in helping others. Utilizing his gifts of clairaudience, clairsentience, clairvoyance and claircognizance, Sherwood delivers messages of confirmation, peace, guidance and healing.

Colin Hall - I would like to share my journey with you all and hopefully inspire the inner artistic side in you. I have always been interested in Art and at the beginning, in true L.S Lowry style, I would draw matchstick people inside my Art. Through the years it has developed into what you see today, the inspired nature of Visionary Art of which little is known within the traditional art world, this is truly inspired art which can be learned and enjoyed by those that would like to experience it.
There are many names for this Art such as: Psychic Art, Spiritual and inspirational Art all of these are just personal descriptions, it is the connection that counts.
It was after I began to sit in a church spiritual meditation and development circle that my Spiritual awareness began to open and the inspiration of Spirit Art started to expand into my consciousness. Later I realised that there was a connection in all of this to our inner Soul.
When I am drawing a picture, I feel as if I am going into a deep meditation and blending with the different spiritual worlds, where Angels and Elementals of Inspiration and our spiritual teachers are only too willing to help us develop our spiritual awareness. In doing so we will start to learn more about the biggest mystery to man, "Our Soul" and this will help to give us a better understanding of our Soul pathway through life.
I decided several years ago that I would like to share my gift with others and teach them how to channel their energies into Spiritual Art. I have held workshops and demonstrations in the UK, Switzerland, Germany, America and Canada and will post any information on the events page. If any group would like to book me for an art class, they can contact me for details, arrangements or any other information on my contact me page. www.colinhallart.com.

Week 7 - Rev. Graham Connolly
Reverend Juliet Parry is a member of the Swampscott Church of Spiritualism.
She discovered Spiritualism in 2013 when her cousins suggested she split a road trip up by staying a day and night in Lily Dale, NY. At that time she had just completed her 2nd level Reiki certification and was curious to learn more about herself and the dynamic relationships of body, mind and spirit.
Since then she has been on a deep dive to learn, throwing herself into the study and practice of Spiritual Healing modalities, mediumship and Spiritualist philosophy. Prior to that she had only understood spirituality through the lenses of either the lives of historical mystics and saints or the old stereotypes of dark occult and scary ghosts. Meeting the free thinkers and like-minded people of Spiritualism she felt a sense of coming home.
Living in the Boston area she has worked as an inner city high school teacher for over 20 years. In her off hours she helps build Butterfly Gardens and works as a Reiki volunteer at the Beth Israel Hospital.
Juliet lives by the words of Antoine St. Expiry, “It is only with the heart that one sees rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
