SPIRITISMx 2026 – Mediumship: Understanding a Natural Ability
St Anne’s College, University of Oxford
Sat 24 Oct, 2026 – 09:00 to 18:00
Mediumship is a complex subject. The focus of SPIRITISMx 2026 is to understand mediumship in its natural form as an innate human faculty, demystifying it, and illustrating the beauty and simplicity of interactions between the material and spiritual planes.
We will have eight talks from speakers who will bring their thoughts and reflections about mediumship, based on their own personal experiences.
This event is open to all those who wish to know more about mediumship from a Spiritist perspective.
