Co-leader & Spiritual Guide: Troy Parkinson

Troy is a medium and award-winning author of "Bridge to the Afterlife: A Medium's Message of Hope & Healing" (published by Llewellyn). He is also a spiritual mentor and filmmaker.

As a medium, Troy passes on the messages from the other side revealing that death does not prevail and our loved ones do live on in spirit. These touching messages have inspired thousands of lives and have provided closure to many.  Troy's commitment to solid, verifiable evidence led him to become a Certified Research Medium with The Windbridge Institute for Applied Research in Human Potential, one of the top research organizations of mediumship in the world. Troy holds private sittings, small group sessions and public demonstrations of mediumship throughout the United States and Internationally.

As an inspirational speaker and mentor, Troy brings a lighthearted, down to earth approach to all things spiritual. Troy really considers himself "just an ordinary guy" who simply dusted off his intuitive muscle and began to exercise it. He believes the connection to spirit is something we all have and he teaches individual and group mediumship development courses and offers spiritual coaching to those on a conscious journey.

In addition to his work in the spiritual realm, Troy is a filmmaker with a BA in film production from Emerson College in Boston. He produced and directed a tv series called House of Babies and a primetime special called "Births Beyond Belief" for Discovery Health Channel. He also wrote, produced, and directed for the History Channel Series "MonsterQuest".

Most recently Troy directed his own independent short spiritual documentary called "What is Heaven?" and is currently working on a documentary project with his childhood friend Timm Sharp. Timm is an actor in Hollywood who's stared in Undeclared, Six Feet Under, and the new HBO series "Enlightened". Together Troy and Timm experienced a powerful shamanic experience called Embracing the Earth Rite of Passage. The documentary follows their journey of digging their own tombs and burying themselves alive.

Troy's mission in this life is to provide focus to spirit, mind and body. Whether it's connecting with the other side, empowering a group about their spirit's infinite potential or producing a television series about the miracle of all natural birth, Troy brings his energy, light and love to every experience

He looks forward to creating a powerful trip to Peru!
