MEDIUMS’ PROFILES

Mediums who serve the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain

JOHN JEMMETT I was born in south Wales and have many experiences of working with the Spirit World, having inherited from both my parents a true understanding of my Celtic heritage as I am descended from welsh and Cornish roots. I have studied membership for many years by sitting in circles, for various types of mediumship from self-development, platform speaking, clairvoyance, private sittings, trance and physical mediumship. I have attended many training courses with many well-known mediums. I have also studied Shamanic Studies with the Isle of Avalon foundation based in Glastonbury. Having served the spiritualist movement for over 30 years as a working medium, undertaking Divine services, demonstrations of mediumship, private sittings, assessments, and the running and organizing of church circles. I am an ordained One Spirit Interfaith Minister. I was ordained in July 2015 after 2 years Seminary training. I was taught about interfaith work, world major religions and planning and performing the rites of passage in a person’s life, naming of children/adults, the marking of passage from childhood to adulthood, marriage ceremonies for all sections of the community and funerals. What the training taught him was how to tailor the ceremonies to fit with what the people were seeking, the help required by John was to advise on content and spiritual dimensions.

MERCEDES GARCIA I have always been drawn to spiritual matters and started to communicate with Spirit since 1973. I studied mediumship for some years. My interest in mediumistic development lead me to the SAGB where I studied under the guidance of many great mediums. I am now a medium and development tutor at the SAGB. My style of teaching is gentle and encouraging and it is very gratifying to watch students develop and find their own unique voice. I consider myself to be most fortunate to be able to pass on the deep wisdom that is Spirit Communication and to inspire others from my extensive experience working with this wonderful 'system' as a navigator into self discovery and higher consciousness.
