Every Spirit Has a Story
presented by Laura Warren – 2 p.m.
Laura has over a decade of psychic mediumship experience and has developed an international following; she is in demand in the Maritimes and beyond. She is known for her ability to call forth spirit to deliver messages to their living friends and relatives. Laura has starred in an 8-part documentary series called Sight Seers which explored haunted sites in Nova Scotia. It aired on AMI-tv+ in 2021 and can be accessed through laurawarrenmedium.com. She has also been featured on numerous podcasts and done countless interviews.
The Spirit world is pure energy. We as physical beings can’t always perceive it but many of us know it’s there. Just like we know oxygen is all around us, but we can’t see it. Spirits were people once. They have a story and a reason for what we might see as bad behaviour or fear inducing events. Communicating clearly, listening with your heart and using compassion will ensure that those energies are reflected to you.
Laura has countless stories of connecting with the spirit world and how it has helped the living and the non-physical. She looks forward to sharing some of her favourite stories and hopes that those in attendance will feel the loving presence of spirit in their life.
