#029 Hi there, my name is Ann Théato and I am here to teach you proven techniques for spiritual and psychic development from the comfort of your own home. I’m also here to investigate the teachings of experts across the globe, to bring you their wisdom, their advice and their spiritual wealth.My guest this week, Sharon DeBartolo Carmack, has written a fascinating book about the life of this remarkable woman, a book which not only includes the social history of the spiritualist movement but also includes accounts of more than 30 of Maria’s seances, 130 illustrations and handwritten spirit communications from Maria’s private sittings.By the time you have finished listening to this week’s episode, you will be fully informed of the pioneering work of an incredible spiritualist – a lady by the name of Maria B Hayden, who is credited with bringing Spiritualism to the UK in the 1800’s.  Through many of her seances in England and American, Maria convinced many of the elite and upper classes, as well as scientists and clergy, that there is life after death.  DEAF FRIENDLY: If you'd like to get the links & show notes, including a complete transcription, head to www.anntheato.com
