I’ve listed below, people and services I have personal experience of and happily provide as a resource for you, dear visitor.

Celebrate Life Progressive Spiritualist Community – A place where we share in the joy of living and growing through Spiritualist community, education, and mediumship together.
Celebrate Life and Golden Gate Spiritualist Church are sister churches that share the church building at 1901 Franklin Street in San Francisco. Each church holds an in-person service there on alternate Sundays. All are welcome to all services.
Foundation for Shamanic Studies – Dedicated to the preservation, study, and teaching of shamanic knowledge for the welfare of the Planet and its inhabitants.
Started in 1979 as the Center for Shamanic Studies, the Foundation for Shamanic Studies presents the world’s foremost training programs in shamanism and shamanic healing. They are based on the pioneering work of anthropologist Michael Harner, who brought shamanism to contemporary life in the West after extensive field and cross-cultural investigation, experimentation, and personal practice. He originated, researched, and developed core shamanism, a system designed for Westerners to apply shamanism and shamanic healing successfully to their daily lives.
Golden Gate Spiritualist Church – Founded in 1924. Located in San Francisco.
“No one eats for you, no one sleeps for you, don’t let anybody think for you.”
– Reverend Florence Harwood Becker.
Golden Gate Spiritualist Church and Celebrate Life are sister churches that share the church building at 1901 Franklin Street in San Francisco. Each church holds an in-person service there on alternate Sundays. All are welcome to all services.
Morbid Anatomy – Death, Life and the In-Between
Morbid Anatomy is a visual cornucopia and robust source of discussion, education, curated travel, and much more concerning all things “morbid”. Although the dictionary definition of “morbid” is grim, to put it mildly, Morbid Anatomy is a treasure trove for those of us who are inquisitive, intelligent and open-minded.
National Spiritualist Association of Churches – Spiritualism is a science, religion, and philosophy of life focused on joy, harmony, and a fear-free understanding of the continuity of life.
The website includes educational resources and a directory of Spiritualist churches and camps world-wide.
New Mission Yoga – We believe in the transformative power of yoga and fitness, and we are committed to helping our students lead healthier happier lives.
Visit the Events page on the website. Hot Yoga, Inferno Hot Pilates, sound baths, ecstatic dance, fusion belly dance, sacred plant meditations, and much more. New Mission Yoga is our venue of choice in San Francisco for amanita ceremonies!
NT2TD – Normalize Talking to the Dead
Resources for mediums and the people who love them.
This is the website to visit if you’re a medium! But also if you’re just curious. Run by Tiffany Hopkins, a medium herself, Tiffany has also written Beyond: A Living Person’s Guide to the Dead. NOT your grandparents’ Spiritualism.
Sacred Garden Community – A Profound Relationship to Self, Nature & Each Other
Sacred Garden Community observes a principle of least dogma, which is the minimum belief we need to share to be a cohesive religious community. This is the entirety of our shared faith:
We are open to the possibility that respectful practice with the Entheogenic Sacraments of our Church can bring about a direct experience of the Divine, within this lifetime.
