Meet The Author - June Ahern - How to Talk With Spirits: Séances•Mediums•Ghost Hunts

June Ahern's book tours across the United States are lively interactions as she engages the audience with candor and humor about her writings and life as a psychic medium. She's a professional speaker, metaphysical and paranormal teacher, and Life & Metaphysical Coach.

Her 1990 debut book, a non-fiction consumer’s guide, titled The Timeless Counselor: A Guide to a Successful Psychic Reading (retitled in 2011 from A Professional Psychic Reading As Alternative Counseling) was the number one seller by a new author at the 1991 New York Whole Life Expo where she was a featured speaker.

Some of June's radio interviews and lectures can be seen on YouTube (search June Ahern) where she's also featured in a documentary series with The Haunted Bay With June Ahern and also on Amazon Prime Time The Haunted Bay. Along with those her blogs teach about paranormal psychic phenomena.

As a child she emigrated from Glasgow, Scotland to San Francisco's district named Eureka Valley, which became known to most as The Castro. When June was a young woman had a near-death experience that led to the opening of her psychic mind and to explore a wide variety of spiritual beliefs and practices beyond her religion's traditions.

Lisa had a weird childhood. Some would say tough. Her memoir, to the moon and back: a under the influence, was published in 2018. Her goal is to spread a message of hope, self-love, and self-compassion with the book.

She describes her childhood in this way:

“The best seats I ever had at Madison Square Garden were at my mother’s wedding, and the best cocaine I ever had was from my father’s friend, the judge.”

She grew up in a religious cult (the Moonies) with her mom and a life of “sex, drugs, and squalor” with her dad.

Born to hippie parents and raised in New York City’s East Village in the 1970s, Lisa’s early years were a mixture of encounter groups, primal screams, macrobiotic diets, communes, Indian ashrams, Jefferson Airplane concerts in Central Park, and watching naked actors on off-Broadway stages during the musical HAIR. By the time her older brother was ten, Lisa’s father had him smoking pot. By the time Lisa was ten, Lisa’s mother had them pledging their lives to the Unification Church (the “Moonies”) and self-appointed Messiah, Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

As a child, Lisa knew the ecstatic comfort of inclusion in a cult and as a teenager the torment of rebelling against it. As an adult, Lisa struggled to break free from the hold of abuse and the scars in her heart, mind, and psyche–battling her own addictions and inner demons and searching her soul for a sense of self-worth. Told in spirited candor, to the moon and back reveals how one can leave behind absurdity and horror and create a life of intention and joy. This is the fascinating tale of a story rarely told in its full complexity.
