Are you looking to expand your relationship with creativity? Have you found yourself drawn to increasingly mysterious sources of inspiration? Do you have a sneaking suspicion that community is missing in your art practice?

If so, you are not alone.

In this ongoing art circle, join Morbid Anatomy Medium in Residence Tiffany Hopkins as we gather in community, connect to something beyond our regular ego mind, and create work! Each session will open 15 minutes before our scheduled time for a bit of socializing before beginning our formal session, which will begin with a short reading to focus the mind, followed by a gentle guided meditation to open ourselves to inspiration. We’ll then have about 45 minutes of quiet time to make art in our own space—drawing, writing, cooking, dancing, or whatever practice best brings out what’s inside you. You are welcome to gather locally with others if that feels right. We’ll close each session as a group, with optional extra time for sharing what you’ve made and reflecting on the process.

Participants are encouraged to work in whatever medium feels most natural and to keep things simple for the sake of flow—no need to overthink. These sessions are drop-in, so you can come anytime, or sign up for the full series to add commitment and regularity to your creative life. We use a circle format, meaning everyone’s presence matters and participation is mutual; each week is an opportunity to show up for your own expression and for others. Our approach draws from the theory and practices of Beyond: A Living Person’s Guide to the Dead, making it a great companion to the book.

In our practice, we will be tapping into a long lineage of individuals and communities who made work in similar ways. From our ancient ancestors painting cave walls, to priests and priestesses shaping ensouled objects and singing sacred songs, to artists like Hilma af Klint and her séance circle The Five, making art in community has perpetually sparked inspiration, passed down knowledge, and fueled new work.

And the sense of connection in these gatherings isn’t limited to just the living—art-making has always involved reaching beyond: to plants and animals, outer space and the subconscious, the divine and the dead. As the year unfolds, join us to connect and create together, drawing from the deep, shared wells of community and inspiration. Our instructor has found that these sessions foster creative flow, bring in new ideas, and help release “stuck” energy. Sometimes, a finished work might emerge; often, it’s about showing up, staying open, and keeping the creative channel alive.

Join a one-day version of the class for adapting mediumship to the creative process that sold out 9x on Morbid Anatomy.

Mediumship is traditionally focused on receiving personal messages for the living from loved ones who have passed away. This class takes the principles of mediumship and applies them to the creative process as a means of tapping into a source of inspiration that lies beyond our own minds, whether you choose to call that the dead, our unconscious or higher selves, the Earth, or any other form which exists beyond our physical senses. We’ll work on our ability to be inspired by the unseen when, where and how we choose; it is always there, we just need to learn how to perceive it. Via lecture, demonstration, guided meditation, exercises, and discussion we develop an intellectual framework along with energetic practices to help students explore spirit connection during the creative process.

What Is the definition of an old-growth forest, and how is it different than a

virgin forest? Is the Leolyn Woods a rare forest, and why? Why has Lily Dale preserved this land as an old-growth forest? How can we continue to preserve and protect it?

We will explore these questions as old-growth forests like the Leolyn are more important and rarer than ever. Today, old-growth forests cover less than 1% of forested areas in the East, compared to 75% of pre-settlement forests (Keeton 2006). Tiffany and Patricia both love the Leolyn Woods and have enjoyed its presence in Lily Dale for decades. They have learned from experts and invited an expert to give us a tour of these unique natural treasures, rare trees, and other features. If the weather does not permit an in-person tour, we will take the tour with photos. Come and join us for a delightful, embodied afternoon in Lily Dale.

Join authors Joanna Ebenstein and Tiffany Hopkins to learn about how memento mori, remembering you will die, and mediumship, talking to the dead, can fuel creativity, healing and joy.

Joanna Ebenstein and Tiffany Hopkins have been teaching popular classes at the intersection of death, art, and culture for an organization called Morbid Anatomy over the past few years.

Joanna’s Memento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life and Tiffany’s Beyond: A Living Person’s Guide To Talking To The Dead, each offer a look into bringing creativity and the dead into your life.

In this workshop, you will learn about how memento mori, actively remembering you will die, and mediumship, talking to the dead, can fuel creativity, healing and joy.

All ticket purchases include a free signed copy of the book!

Famous Mediums: Talking to the Dead in TV and film with Tiffany Hopkins

In the PRS Lecture Room

In this talk, medium Tiffany Hopkins will walk us through a delightful collection of mainstream examples of people talking to the dead to feel better in life. We’ll look at how television and film visually portray the dead, the themes they address, and how they support our development of personal and cultural death myths. From the unexpected, like the materialist Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory, to the category-defining Cole Sear in The Sixth Sense and the definition-expanding Bene Gesserit of Dune, these beloved characters help us all find a little more acceptance and permission to do our own talking to the dead.Tiffany Hopkins is a researcher, author, and medium. Her mediumship focuses on normalizing safe, meaningful connection with the dead and using the tools of mediumship to engage with the world around us. Her first book, Beyond: A Living Person’s Guide to the Dead, offers a comprehensive and modern look at mediumship development. She also provides consumer advocacy research for the tech sector.

Join us for an evening of mini-readings and a special new drop!
