Learn how to trust and access your inner spirit so you can move through life more intuitively and with fewer obstacles, flowing harmoniously with the currents in the river of life.
Explore secrets of the ancient mystics from Rumi to Hildegard Von Bingen, by connecting with their methods and accessing deep spiritual energies and prophetic visions to promote healing for yourself, your family, your community, and beyond.
Mystical wisdom — sourced through communion with the Divine — is always accessible.
If you’ve been searching for more purpose, tap into the connection and wisdom that revered mystics throughout history knew — within the depths of your own soul.
Karen Frances McCarthy, medium and author of Till Death Don’t Us Part, explains that mysticism isn’t just an esoteric concept — it’s a state of being that’s always ready when you enter the sacred space within you...
... and connect with the incredible power you possess through your capacity for insight, healing, and transformation.
Karen fully embraces this approach and considers it the most straightforward method to connect with the Divine, stripping away the many misconceptions that religious traditions have imposed...
… and helping you feel a deep sense of belonging, realizing that you can always find the answers you seek.
As Karen says, “The mystics were always the rebels.” They didn’t need dogma because they had direct experience.
The mystics’ approach teaches us that the Divine is not an external authority judging or rewarding us — as traditional beliefs might suggest — but is the ever-present essence of pure wisdom and love that resides within us, filling us with joy and enlightenment.
Join Karen for a transformative 7-week live video course, where she’ll guide you down the path of the mystical medium, helping you release the fears and constraints of your mind... opening your soul... and relaxing into the peace, clarity, and profound acceptance found within.
She’ll lead you in deep experiential practices — including meditations and trance exercises — to help you create more loving relationships with others (and yourself!) so you can become a vessel of positive transformation in the world.
What’s so captivating about Karen is the genuine warmth of her presence and her intuitive teaching style, which flows from a state of deep spiritual connection.
She’ll guide you to the truth of your spirit, where you can feel, with certainty, the divine aspect that is YOU.
Karen will gently encourage you to dissolve the perceived distance between you and the Divine, and help you source the answers to the questions you may have about your purpose and your role in this world from within.
Without the barrier between you and the Divine, your spirit can grow and fill with love, presence, and a heightened ability to connect with Source and those around you. You may find yourself becoming less reactive as you begin to see the “Big Picture” of life.

Become a catalyst for positive change — contributing, through the divine wisdom you’ve accessed, to the healing that our global community so desperately needs.
This course will empower you to know without a doubt that you are already equipped with all you need to be a powerful source of light and wisdom in the world — with compassion for yourself and a deep connection to the universal human experience.

“In six short weeks, my mediumship went to a whole new level.”
Karen is an extraordinary teacher. In six short weeks, my mediumship went to a whole new level. I have more confidence and am able to relax and be more present, feeling into what spirit is communicating. I appreciate her method of “following the story,” which leads to a more meaningful communication than just “skimming” for facts. Karen showed us just how easy it is to feel into that information. I also appreciate Karen’s Zen and helping students understand the challenges of ego. I have grown not only as a medium, but personally as well.
— Julie Parker
“Karen’s trance mediumship course was like nothing I have ever experienced before.”
Karen’s trance mediumship course was like nothing I have ever experienced before. I think it broadened my mind in that I have different perceptions of some psychic phenomena now. One exercise brought me in touch with feelings and emotions I now realize I had buried very deep. Some things I had refused to acknowledge before but I now realize I must deal with and resolve. Thank you for your guidance.
— Alice Alexander
