Hear how Tiffany Hopkins went from working at an e-commerce start-up in Manhattan to a surprise move to Lily Dale that led her to write and publish BEYOND: A Living Person’s Guide to Talking to the Dead.

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.

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 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.
