Central VA IONS Community Group Program Title:
“The Gift of Mediumship”
Our March 18, 2017 Central VA IONS Community Group program will feature a talk by Sandy Ward, a spirit medium who recently relocated from Virginia Beach to Richmond. Our previously scheduled speaker, Lucia Williams, had a last-minute scheduling conflict, so we are very blessed and grateful that Sandy, with whom we already were in contact about being a guest speaker at a later date, was able to make herself available for us now.
Sandy will share with our group the poignant and fascinating details of her personal story, and her long and sometimes arduous journey to mediumship. Though imbued with spirit connections from early childhood which enabled her to effortlessly feel, see, hear and touch spirit presences around her constantly, she learned early on to keep these connections to herself.
She learned that most others did not have these kinds of spirit connections and often reacted to them with fear, suspicion, hostility and ridicule, leading Sandy to hide her gift for many years.
This personal strategy proved over time to be unsustainable, as her spirit connections would not be denied. Eventually, with the love and support of her husband and family, Sandy awakened to the realization that her unusual ability to interface with the spirit realm is her gift to the world, and she finally learned to acknowledge it, embrace it and use it to help others in need.
Since then she has trained with a number of mediums to improve and strengthen her skills, including world-renowned psychic and medium James Van Praagh.
She now dedicates herself to using her gift to help people in a variety of ways, including personal readings and forecasts, helping the bereaved connect with departed loved ones, assisting police and victims with unsolved criminal investigations, etc.
If time and conditions permit, she may give a brief mediumship demonstration during her talk at Richmond IONS/Central VA IONS Community Group.
About Our Central VA IONS Community Group March Presenter:
Our Richmond IONS March Presenter will be Sandy Ward. She was born in California, the youngest of ten children and a Navy brat. Her dad’s Navy career enabled her family to live in some great locations, including California and then Hawaii, where she fell in love with the culture and the people. She eventually ended up at Virginia Beach, where her dad retired and she met her future husband.
Throughout her youth and young adulthood, she found herself studying spirituality as a means of trying to understand her gift of mediumship. Her childhood also had her spending many hours in church, as this was where she felt closest to spirits and found her passion for serving people.
She has trained with world-renowned psychic and medium James Van Praagh, and now is sharing her gift full-time with the world in a variety of ways. She can be reached on her website at www.newenergymedium.com or on Facebook at Sandy Ward New Energy Medium.
