About the Host

Tiffany J. Hopkins began studying mediumship after moving into her great-great grandmother's cottage in Lily Dale, the world's largest community of Spiritualists. During the pandemic she developed a curriculum to share her process of mediumship for creativity and this series is an evolution to bring in a larger community of artists and mystics. She is a practicing medium, educator, freelance futurist and she’d like you to join her over at Normalize Talking to the Dead.
