Beyond the Veil Academy:
The Spirit World
A grounded & IMMERSIVE 10-week LIVE program exploring intuition, spirit communication, and the unseen world
Learn to develop intuition, understand the spirit world, and explore the unseen with
confidence
Why explore the spirit world at all?
For thousands of years, people across cultures have believed that the world we see is only part of the story.
Many of us sense it in small ways — a feeling we can’t explain, a moment of intuition that turns out to be right, or an experience that makes us question what reality really is.
In this program, we approach these experiences with curiosity rather than fear. Together, we’ll explore how intuition works, how spirit communication is experienced, and how to engage with the unseen in a grounded and thoughtful way.
Welcome to a Guided Exploration of the Unseen!
This 10-week guided program designed to deepen your understanding of intuition, psychic awareness, and the ways spirit communication can be experienced in an ethical and grounded way — with just a hint of candlelight.
It is the first course of study offered through our modern Victorian school exploring the unseen.
Rather than focusing on labels or “abilities,” we begin with curiosity. Together, we’ll explore how intuition and psychic perception actually work, how spirit communication is experienced, and how to engage with both thoughtfully and responsibly.
One thing that sets this program apart is our approach: we do not rely on fear-based narratives when exploring the unseen.
Over ten weeks, we’ll wander the unseen through education, reflection, conversation, and hands-on exploration — bringing clarity to what once felt mysterious or just out of reach. This is exploration without fear, pressure, or theatrics.
Along the way, you’ll explore intuitive and psychic awareness, energy work, and the timeless magic of divination tools, all within a supportive community of like-minded explorers. Expect insight, a few goosebumps, moments of surprise, and the quiet confidence that comes from finally understanding what you’ve been sensing.
Developing your intuitive and psychic awareness isn’t just about connecting with spirit — it’s also about connecting more deeply with yourself. Many people find they feel more grounded, aligned, and in tune with who they truly are.

- The founding cohort begins April 2026
Why this Program is exactly what you've been looking for
Because you know there’s more to this world than what meets the eye. The strange dreams, the gut feelings that come true, the chill down your spine when you walk into certain places — you’re not imagining it. You’re tuning into something deeper… and it’s time to finally understand what it all means. This program isn’t about becoming “psychic” — it’s about reconnecting with the gifts that have always been there and learning how to work with them confidently.
Awaken Your Intuition
You’ve always known you were intuitive — maybe you’ve sensed things no one else could or had experiences that defy logic. Now it’s time to sharpen those gifts and finally trust yourself.
Connect with the Unseen
Spirits, energies, and the paranormal are closer than you think. Learn how to sense, interpret, and communicate with the spirit realm confidently and safely. No more second-guessing whether it’s real — you’ll know.
Master Discernment
Develop boundaries, clarity, and confidence in distinguishing intuition from imagination, emotion, or expectation.
Experience the Spirit Realm - without fear
Explore the unseen with steady guidance and practical tools — replacing fear and doubt with curiosity and calm awareness.
Find Peace in the Mystery
This isn’t about “proving” anything — it’s about discovering a deeper sense of purpose and connection with the universe. You’ll develop a greater sense of self-trust and clarity as you strengthen your psychic and intuitive gifts.
Shift from Doubt to Trust
You’ll learn to distinguish between your thoughts and actual intuitive and spirit messages — and build the confidence to trust what comes through. No more wondering if you’re “making it up.”
Feel More at Home with Yourself
Strengthening your intuitive & psychic gifts isn’t just about connecting with spirit — it’s about connecting with yourself on a soul level. You’ll feel more grounded, more aligned, and more in tune with who you really are.
Real Tools for Real Life
This isn’t just about spiritual theory — you’ll learn practical techniques so you can stay balanced even when life gets chaotic (think nervous system regulation). Bring intuitive awareness into real life: relationships, decisions, environments, and personal boundaries. You’ll know how to tap into guidance whenever you need it — whether it’s for making big decisions or just navigating everyday life.
This is About Empowerment, Not Perfection
You don’t have to “get it right” every time — spirit doesn’t work like that. This program will help you build confidence in your connection, trust yourself more deeply, and feel at peace knowing that you have the tools to handle whatever comes your way.
Join a Community of Fellow Seekers
You’re not alone in this. Connect with like-hearted souls who get it — the curiosity, the questions, and the strange experiences you’ve never been able to explain. This is your safe space to explore, grow, and feel understood.
This isn’t just a course —
it’s an invitation to explore
It’s a chance to step beyond the familiar, follow your curiosity, and better understand the subtle threads you’ve been sensing. If the unknown has ever lingered at the edges of your curiosity, consider this an open door…
Step behind the veil..
This program invites you to step just beyond the edge of the familiar and explore what exists beyond the physical — not as something to unlock, but as something to engage with curiosity, imagination, and discernment.
Together, we’ll wander through the unseen, making sense of experiences that may have once felt strange or hard to explain. Expect moments of insight, surprise, and recognition — the kind that shift how you see yourself, your intuition, and the world around you.
Like discovering hidden rooms rather than buried treasure, this work reveals new layers of understanding that were always there, waiting to be noticed. The result is greater clarity, deeper self-trust, and a more playful, confident relationship with the unknown (and yourself).
If you’ve ever felt there’s more to life than what meets the eye, consider this an invitation to explore…
The Intuitive Development & Spirit Communication program includes:
10-Week Live Group Experience
Weekly live sessions focused on education, discussion, and guided exploration. These sessions are designed to deepen understanding, offer context, and create space for thoughtful questions and shared learning. You’ll also receive guided practices and recordings to support reflection and integration between sessions.
Virtual Capstone Séance
The program concludes (in the 10th week) with an unforgettable virtual séance — a powerful opportunity to put everything you’ve learned into practice and experience the connection firsthand.
Private Community Space
Connect with fellow participants in a private online space to reflect, ask questions, and continue learning together throughout the program. Think of it as our own personal Victorian Parlour.

Meet Lauren
Spiritual Educator & Guide of the Unseen
Hi, I’m Lauren. Thanks for being here.
I explore the unseen world through paranormal investigation and spirit communication, inviting people to rediscover intuition, wonder, and the mystery of reality.
My work lives at the intersection of experiential investigation and intuitive understanding. What began over ten years ago as curiosity about ghosts deepened into a devoted exploration of how spirit and consciousness express themselves beyond the physical world, not as spectacle, but as something meaningful, powerful, and worthy of respect.
As a spiritual educator and guide to the unseen realms, I create guided learning experiences that invite people to explore the unexplained with curiosity, care, and grounded understanding. Over the years, I’ve watched skeptics soften, not because they were persuaded, but because they experienced something that asked them to look a little closer. Those moments, when curiosity replaces certainty and understanding begins to take shape, are what continue to guide my work.
When I’m not teaching or leading investigations, you’ll find me wandering historic museums, collecting antique Ouija boards, spending time with my partner Pierce and our fur-baby dog Casper, indulging my love of fashion, or watching a good scary movie. I also manage select ghost walk experiences with The Ghost Walks, continuing to expand my work within historic and culturally significant spaces.

About your guide
Hi, I’m Lauren!
I’ve been dancing with Spirit for the past 10 years. What started as an interest in ghosts, turned into a full-on passion for all things intuitive, psychic and paranormal. It’s not an overstatement when I say this work has literally changed my life. What was a dream even just 4 years ago is now my reality thanks to the skills and practices you’ll learn in this program.
I recall countless moments as a child where my psychic abilities were strong. I would often have prophetic dreams, and could sense spirits around me. But I pushed these aside until 9 years ago when I was reintroduced to ghost hunts. I still didn’t take this passion seriously until 2018 when my emotional world came crashing down. On and off in my twenties, I suffered from random but bad bouts of anxiety. During these waves I would feel disconnected from society, and from myself. However, the last bout in 2018 became a catalyst of change. The anxiety had impacted my eating, sleeping, relationships, self-image, sanity, and health.
I had lost my sense of self and was stuck in a loop of overthinking. I remember the moment so vividly: one night I woke up – sweating, heart racing, anxiety pulsing through my mind and body. I took a deep breath and thought “this is not who I am, it’s simply something I’m experiencing. It doesn’t define me”. And it was at this time that I felt a strong presence, something that wasn’t of this world, that felt like a warm hug from a friend. And there began my journey into healing and connecting back to my soul. Spirit would often leave my signs and symbols that I was on that right track. It was not an easy process by any means (healing rarely is and everyone’s journey is different), but bit by bit I was able to put myself back together and start feeling like me again. I came out on the other side with a burning desire to work with the spiritual realm in a more serious way. After-all, my connection to the spirit world helped me immensely during this time of healing and Spiritual Awakening.
I truly believe I was meant to experience anxiety so that I could discover this path and serve others. Fast-forward to today and from this work I’ve experienced many deep moments of gratitude, love, joy, inner-peace and fulfillment, and am reminded daily that we are never alone. My strong connection with intuition, soul and spirit has allowed me to open myself up to amazing experiences, people and impact. It has allowed me to build a business that serves the collective while simultaneously allowing abundance to flow into my life. I can honestly say I am the happiest and fulfilled I’ve ever been!
Within the Academy of Psychic Development, you will journey into the wisdom of your soul, illuminate your psychic abilities, and become a strong conduit of guidance for yourself and others.
