Welcome to Albany's Psychic Development Program!
Holistic Studies Institute extends a warm welcome all who wish to unfold their psychic potential by participating in its Psychic Development Program at our Albany NY--National Headquarters. Having been founded 25 years ago, the Holistic Studies Institute has a rich history of offering education in the intuitive arts. It has become a respected leader and an authority in the area of Psychic Development. To date over 10,000 people in the Northeast have participated in our programs.
Since its inception, HSI has offered more than just psychic classes. We offer a structured four-level accredited program in psychic and mediumship development designed to prepare students to become so well trained that they are eligible to become a Certified Psychic-Medium. This program has enrolled people from all walks of life who have learned and developed fascinating psychic and mediumistic abilities.
About the Program
Without burdensome work involved, the Psychic Development Program at HSI is designed to be fun, informative and comprehensive. It emphasizes common sense, balanced with spirituality, which gives quality, depth and meaning to the psychic development process.
In our courses, students frequently participate in a séance (which is like a psychic laboratory), led by qualified teachers, for the purpose of developing mediumship and other psychic abilities. The séance begins with a meditation. Next, the teacher will help students to sort out the psychic impressions, which they receive and gently lead them into a discovery of their unique mode of psychic expression. All efforts are made, each week, to create a conducive atmosphere which will provide you with numerous opportunities to have meaningful psychic experiences.
A great feature of our program is our low tuition at only $79 per term. Instead of paying the entire tuition upfront, students pay as they go along in easy $79 installments. There are no contracts to sign. If you drop the course before the next installment is due, you owe us nothing. You can't find a deal like this anywhere else.
Moreover, our classes are small. A close teacher-student relationship is important to us and to the quality of your psychic education. Integrated into our program are written texts, authored by experts, which utilize knowledge derived from many years of research.
Our classroom environment is warm and friendly. A close, harmonious feeling is generated between students, and within a few classes we find our classmates becoming a cohesive, family-like unit.
