For generations, learning Spiritualist mediumship meant sitting in development or unfoldment circles. Now we have books, classes, intensives, and all sorts of faster methods to learn how to talk to the dead. Stacy and I are joined by my mom, Molly Harrison, to hold a tiny circle for you all to experience why sometimes, good old-fashioned sitting in the quiet is still a powerful way to connect.

Meet your host and hear about how this fifth podcast season has evolved from Unknown Unknown to Normalize Talking to the Dead on Lily Dale Radio to its newest incarnation as BEYOND with Tiffany Hopkins.

Have you ever wondered what it means to talk with the dead? What lies beyond what we know? Join me as we explore not just life after death, but the mysteries that surround us every day—waiting to be discovered.

This is a space for anyone—whether you're experienced in psychic practices, or newly attuned to your intuition. Each episode is designed to offer a smart, heart-centered guide to new possibilities. You’ll get both the intellectual foundations and practical tools to explore the unknown.

This is the last episode of the season! Tiffany goes long on AI and UFOs / UAPs, giving you the latest on both and why they are so related to mediumship. Plus a ChatGPT contact event, why we need to rebrand the term 'aliens', and a few ways to think about both that are less overwhelming and scary.

Nerd out with Tiffany as she talks through her ways of making decisions by collecting data through the mind, body, heart, and soul. Yes, really, mediumship can be research, and no, this will not permit you to say 'Spirit told me to'.

In learning mediumship, the second most important thing (after practice) is exposing yourself to new perspectives, techniques, and ideas around your practice. This year I got a whole bunch of new mediumship books for the comparative titles section of my proposal for a book on mediumship. Here are some thoughts about them and books on a few tangental topics that I love too. Here's the list for reference:

There are many ways to find presence. Let me share what I do for mindfulness/bodifulness, to change my state, or to prepare for spiritual work. I'll talk you through a half dozen techniques I use daily. Try them out during a brief meditation at the end, then make your own!

Join host Tiffany Hopkins for a meditation to rest, rejuvenate, and acquaint ourselves with all the new information that has come in through this eclipse season.

Chioma Ume helps us understand how attention and focus on the people (and spirits) in our life can work like magic to create connection and facilitate communication. Chioma is a writer, empath, and seeker who does design research and brand strategy alongside being a death doula.

Get to know what Mediumship for Creativity means for Unknown Unknown host Tiffany Hopkins, and try your hand at a little automatic drawing. Tiffany gives the backstory to her Mediumship for Creativity classes, including the foundational precepts for the practice, which came through while using the practice itself. Towards the end, she guides listeners into meditation with instructions for automatic drawing on your own and with a spirit.
