What is The College of Psychic Studies?
Updated
The College of Psychic Studies (collegeofpsychicstudies.co.uk) is an educational charity and one of the oldest schools of its kind, founded in 1884 and based in London. It offers online and in-person courses, workshops and talks on psychic development, mediumship, crystals, healing, chakras and meditation, and welcomes both beginners exploring their intuitive abilities and professional mediums developing their skills. It is open to visitors Tuesday to Sunday, 11am–4pm.
What the College offers
The College describes its programme as spanning spirituality, psychic development, mediumship and more, delivered either online or in person. Its own summary of subjects includes:
- Psychic development
- Mediumship training
- Crystals
- Healing
- Chakras
- Meditation
Formats include livestream courses, workshops and talks, plus a separate range of on-demand videos and audio content for those who want to explore at their own pace. The College also runs longer training for people who want to become a medium, framed as developing intuition and connection to the spirit world through livestream psychic and mediumship trainings.
Examples from the programme
The College's "what's coming up" listing gives a sense of the mix of formats and topics:
| Event | Format | Audience |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Dive into the Air Signs & Houses (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius and the 3rd, 7th and 11th houses) | Online livestream workshop | Open to all |
| Archangel Chamuel Healing Meditation | Online guided livestream meditation | Open to all |
| The Principles of Kabbalah | Five-week online course | Open to all |
These examples show that entry points range from single sessions to multi-week courses, and that at least some events are explicitly open to all, with no stated prior experience requirement.
Who it is for
The College states that "all are welcome," whether you are just starting to explore your intuitive abilities or are a professional medium wishing to develop your skills. That makes it relevant to two broad groups:
- Curious beginners who want a structured introduction through a workshop, talk or short course.
- Practising or aspiring mediums who want training and skill development.
The College itself suggests that the best way to experience what it does is through an online or in-person course rather than browsing alone.
Visiting, library and archive
The College occupies a building in London and is open to visitors Tuesday to Sunday, 11am–4pm. It maintains a library, an archive of art, artefacts and printed materials, and a collection of rare books. As an educational charity, it says donations help preserve the building, the archive and the library.
Membership and cost
The College advertises a membership option: members receive exclusive discounts and other benefits, and the College describes membership as joining a community of like-minded people. Beyond the existence of member discounts, the source material does not list prices, so check the individual course or membership page for current fees before booking. Nothing in the available information indicates that courses, events or membership are free.
How to get started
- Browse the full "what's on" calendar to see upcoming courses, workshops and talks, noting whether each is online or in person.
- Choose a format that fits you: a single talk or workshop for a first taste, a multi-week course for deeper study, or on-demand content if you prefer to go at your own pace.
- If cost matters, compare the member discount against the price of the events you plan to attend before deciding whether to join.
- If you are considering mediumship training specifically, look at the dedicated psychic and mediumship training listings rather than general events.
The main practical questions to settle before booking are format (online versus in-person in London), time commitment (single session versus multi-week), and total cost including any membership decision.
