Use your inner compass, let your dreams come true

April 2010
What an inspiring weekend everyone had at Sharon Klingler's workshops this year!   Sharon presented her popular MESSAGES FROM BEYOND event, as well as two intensive workshops.  The focus of the workshops was the individual's path of service, and how to work with the Ascended Masters and utilize the energies of the Seven Rays to assist with one's personal spiritual development.

November 2009
Another great time at the Victory of Light Expo, where Joanne shared booth space with her office partner, Rose Vanden Eynden, and her mother, Jaccolin Franchina.  This event was especially fun for Jaccolin and Joanne, because this mother-daughter team co-presented the workshop, "Up Close & Personal Mediumship."   
July & August 2009
Joanne had a great time on the lecture circuit in Lily Dale, New York, during her visits there.  While Joanne has led several workshops in Lily Dale, this was her "maiden voyage" presenting at the daily Lecture and Clairvoyant Service in the Auditorium in July.   It was especially fun because Joanne shared the platform with an internationally recognized medium who also happens to be her aunt, Gretchen Clark.  Joanne had just as much fun her second time presenting in August, when she shared the platform with another aunt, Sherry Lee Calkins.  In the future, Joanne hopes to share the platform with her mother!

Our first-ever Gala Message Service was so much fun!  What's a Gala Message Service?  It's a special demonstration of platform mediumship in the Spiritualist tradition, in which each message incorporates a special item inspired by spirit through the medium's clairvoyance such as flowers, crystals, tarot cards, flame cards, spirit art or everyday/personal items. 
April 2009
Inner Compass sponsored a fascinating workshop on past life regressions and dreamwork featuring Sherry Lee Calkins and Jaccolin Franchina---certified past-life regressionists, clairvoyant mediums registered in Lily Dale, New York, and SISTERS.

Who would have guessed that a weekend intensive of advanced mediumship instruction could be so much fun?  It's really no surprise when you're lucky enough to have internationally known medium and author Sharon Anne Klingler as your instructor!

Our Clairvoyant Message Circle Events are very popular with groups and those who are new to intuitive readings---and no wonder!  They are fun and affordable, and allow one's friends and family members to participate.  What happens in a message circle?  Well, a handful of participants sit in a circle with a clairvoyant medium, who provides a message, or mini-reading, for each participant in turn.

August 2008
It is always SUCH fun to lead a workshop with one's relatives!  In the workshop "Up Close & Personal," first presented in Lily Dale in 2008, Joanne, her mother, Jaccolin, and her aunt, Gretchen, told lots of personal stories about their family's experiences with mediumship, healing, and Spiritualism over the past several generations.  Also offered at Inner Compass, the workshop has helped to empower participants by teaching them about personal mediumship, healing, and meditation.
