Mediumship and Dementia: Bringing the Conversation to Light

February 18, 2026February 11, 2026 By Rev. Colleen Irwin

Internal awareness is only the first step. Once we recognize a challenge, the next step is connecting that understanding to community responsibility. The work of mediumship does not happen in isolation, and neither does the duty to protect both the medium and those they serve.

When Capacity Changes in Mediumship

February 15, 2026February 15, 2026 By Rev. Colleen Irwin

Mediumship is not weightless work. It moves through a human body—through a nervous system that must regulate intense emotional and energetic input, often for hours at a time.

When Relief Takes Its Time

February 7, 2026February 2, 2026 By Rev. Colleen Irwin

There is a cultural story we tell about caregiving that ends with relief. That story is especially seductive when you have already tasted what life feels like on the other side of constant care. Help arrives, the burden lifts, and the caregiver returns to themselves.

February 6, 2026December 19, 2025 By Rev. Colleen Irwin

Most people say they want things to work better. They want smoother communication, healthier relationships, and systems that feel fair and supportive. Yet when a system feels uncomfortable or demanding, some people do not try to improve it. They undermine it instead.

Sacred Fire: A Call for Moral Courage

January 26, 2026 By Rev. Colleen Irwin

Authority without conscience is corrosive. It mistakes domination for order and fear for security. We recognize this pattern in abuses of force, in militarized responses to fear, and in regimes that punish dissent.

Message from Mother-In-Law

I recently had a reading with Colleen Irwin, and it was a profoundly moving experience. Colleen brought through my mother-in-law, Lucy, who had always been a bit skeptical of me. She never thought I was good enough for her precious daughter, Becky. During the reading, Lucy expressed how wrong she had been and shared her deep appreciation for the kindness I showed her in her last days. She acknowledged how I helped Becky get through her funeral, which was incredibly touching. Colleen’s kindness and ability to connect us meant the world to me. Colleen knew so much about our family that there was no way it wasn’t my mother-in-law, down to the fact that Lucy refused to call me by my preferred full name instead of Eddie as she called me.  I highly recommend her to anyone seeking genuine and heartfelt connections with their loved ones.

Sincerely,

Edward
