Explore the Transformative Power of Evidential Mediumship – Free Class with Suzanne Giesemann, Mavis Pittilla, and Jean Else

Free Online Event

If you sense that your intuition could become something more — a disciplined way to serve people who are seeking connection, comfort, and understanding — mediumship may feel both compelling and daunting. The question is how to develop that potential with patience, clarity, and integrity.

Jean Else and Suzanne Giesemann bring two deeply connected perspectives to that question. Their teaching is rooted in the legacy of celebrated British medium Mavis Pittilla, whose approach emphasized developing the “whole medium” — mind, body, and spirit — rather than focusing only on mechanical skills.

You’ll explore evidential mediumship as a heart-centered practice of spirit communication, along with the ethical foundations that support responsible work. Jean and Suzanne will also introduce Mavis’ metaphysical teaching of Worlds Within Worlds, which describes seven symbolic stages in the soul’s journey after death.

The session offers a grounded look at what it takes to develop mediumistic ability over time, why patience and practice matter, and how this work can be approached with respect for both the living and those who have died.

Why Attend “Explore the Transformative Power of Evidential Mediumship”


Explore the Transformative Power of Evidential Mediumship with Jean Else and Suzanne Giesemann

Mediumship can raise profound questions about how intuition becomes a reliable practice and how spirit communication can be approached with care. For anyone drawn to this work, developing skill is only part of the challenge; ethics, self-awareness, communication, and spiritual maturity also matter.

Jean Else brings decades of experience as an educator and years of close collaboration with her late wife, Mavis Pittilla, developing courses and mentorship programs for aspiring mediums. Her perspective emphasizes that authentic mediumship takes time, commitment, and in-depth study rather than being something to rush.

Suzanne Giesemann adds the perspective of a practicing medium, spiritual teacher, bestselling author, and former Navy Commander who studied with and later became a colleague of Mavis. Together, Jean and Suzanne offer a useful bridge between Mavis’ teaching legacy and the practical, heart-centered development of evidential mediumship today.

What You’ll Learn

We’ll begin with Mavis Pittilla’s approach to developing the “whole medium,” so you can see why mediumship training involves more than learning techniques for spirit communication. You’ll explore the role of mind, body, spirit, communication skills, and personal development in becoming a more grounded practitioner.

From there, Jean and Suzanne will explore Worlds Within Worlds, Mavis’ metaphysical teaching about seven symbolic stages or worlds after death, which means the spirit world is approached through a detailed spiritual framework rather than as an abstract idea. You’ll also consider how departed loved ones are understood as people with lived experiences, histories, and relationships.

Along the way, the session will connect mediumship development with ethics, patience, and service, so that skill is considered alongside responsibility to the people involved. You’ll also hear how Jean compares the unfolding of mediumistic ability to the slow formation of a pearl, and then learn about the year-long Evidential Mediumship Academy — Essentials Training.

Here’s just a little bit of what you’ll learn:
  • Why Mavis Pittilla emphasized developing the “whole medium” — mind, body, and spirit
  • How evidential mediumship combines spirit communication with evidence, ethics, and clear communication
  • What Worlds Within Worlds teaches about seven symbolic stages in the soul’s journey after death
  • Why departed loved ones are approached as real people with lived experiences rather than abstract entities
  • The ethical foundations and heart-centered practices Jean and Suzanne consider essential to mediumship
  • How patience, commitment, and repeated practice support the development of mediumistic ability
  • Why Jean compares mediumship development to the gradual formation of a pearl
  • How intuitive potential can be cultivated rather than rushed
  • What the 12-month Evidential Mediumship Academy — Essentials Training offers aspiring and practicing mediums

It is also relevant for practicing mediums and aspiring professionals who want to strengthen the ethical, communicative, and spiritual foundations of their work. Jean and Suzanne’s perspective will be useful if you value patient development and want to understand why Mavis Pittilla taught that authentic mediumship requires more than technique alone.

  • Practicing mediums who want to deepen their ethical and spiritual foundations

About Evidential Mediumship

What is evidential mediumship?
In this event, evidential mediumship centers on direct communication with departed loved ones while emphasizing evidence, ethics, clear communication, and personal spiritual development. Jean and Suzanne approach it as a disciplined, heart-centered practice rather than a set of mechanical techniques alone.

What does developing the “whole medium” mean?
Mavis Pittilla’s approach emphasizes developing mind, body, and spirit together rather than focusing only on mediumistic mechanics. The aim is to cultivate the person doing the work alongside the skills themselves.

What is Mavis Pittilla’s “Worlds Within Worlds” teaching?
Worlds Within Worlds is a metaphysical teaching Mavis said was revealed through her lifelong spirit guide. It describes seven symbolic stages or worlds after death, including reunion with departed loved ones and personal life review.

Why does Jean Else compare mediumship development to forming a pearl?
Jean uses the pearl as an image for gradual development. Just as a pearl forms slowly, she teaches that mediumistic ability matures through time, care, challenge, practice, and trust rather than by rushing the process.

What role do ethics play in this approach to mediumship?
Ethics are treated as a core part of mediumship, not an optional extra. Jean and Suzanne emphasize heart-centered practices, appropriate communication, and respect for everyone involved in a mediumistic exchange.

What role do communication skills play in mediumship?
Jean’s teaching emphasizes appropriate communication and public-speaking skills alongside evidence-based mediumship and personal spiritual development. Clear communication is treated as an essential part of serving people responsibly through mediumship.
