2023 Annual Psychic Development Conference

This psychic training course will give you the tools you need to awaken and apply your innate psychic abilities while provide guidance to put those insights into action.
The Edgar Cayce readings tell us that we are intuitive by nature, and that we can develop our psychic abilities to a high level. However, it isn’t enough to just become more psychic for its own sake—we need to put our abilities into practical use in our daily lives before these gifts take on real meaning.
Edgar Cayce says Intuition is the highest form of Psychic Abilities
Echo Bodine
Join Echo Bodine for a very informative talk on what intuition and psychic abilities are and how they differ and enhance each other. Echo has been aware of her psychic abilities since the age of 17 and has been a professional psychic and intuitive teacher for fifty-seven years. She has a very practical down-to-earth approach of these special gifts and breaks it all down to help you understand what the gift of prophecy is all about.

Unlocking Your Full Psychic Potential: Working with the Four Clairs, Calling in Synchronicity & Connecting with Spirit Guides
Tanya Carroll Richardson
While all empaths and sensitives are naturally strong in the clairsentient or feeling psychic pathway—allowing them to intimately sense the energies and emotions of other individuals, groups, the collective, and physical spaces—each empath likely has other psychic abilities as well. Likewise, empaths can partner with benevolent spirit guides and call in synchronicities to enhance and increase intuitive guidance.
Professional intuitive Tanya Carroll Richardson has given readings to thousands of clients worldwide. Join her in this talk to:
- Learn more about the four “clairs” or main psychic pathways—hearing, seeing, knowing, and feeling guidance—from someone who employs all the clairs in psychic readings.
- Discover how to powerfully partner with loving spirit guides—like angels and archangels—to receive even more intuitive guidance and assistance. Tanya has written three books about angels and has been working with and studying them for decades.
- Call in more synchronicities—or meaningful coincidences—as a powerful second opinion on your own intuition. Synchronicities are external intuitive guidance that can be especially useful when we’re confused about the best path forward or the next best action step.
Unleash Your Inner Psychic
Deb Bowen, MSW and Samantha Fey
Join the Psychic Teachers – Samantha Fey and Deb Bowen – for an engaging and interactive workshop designed to help you embrace and unleash your true psychic potential.

You’ll understand your intrinsic connection to nature through moon cycles, crystals and plants. We’ll explore how you can connect with your animal guide and interpret messages from nature.
