FUN FACT about Echo: Echo’s ginger cookie recipe is so sought-after that we’ve included it at the end of Advanced Psychic Development. It’s THAT good.

Praise for Echo: “Psychic Development for Beginners gave me the confidence and better understanding of my gifts. When Echo came to me in a dream and told me to sign up for her class which I had no idea existed, I knew this was my time! Echo has given me the strength, courage and tools to build confidence, trust our intuition and to BELIEVE in ourselves and the light that guides us. Thank you, Echo!” – Amy, Houston, TX

Praise for this Course

Echo and Leigh are both compassionate, practical, and up front honest. They work with integrity and will truly try to teach you. If you have psychic gifts and want to learn more about them, how to live with them, how to protect yourself, and essentially, just move forward spiritually, you can be comfortable here. It is safe, welcoming, and so so much fun!Audrey, Ohio
This has been an amazing experience for me! I have learned so much about myself and my abilities. When I signed up for the level Psychic Development for Beginners class, I wasn't sure if I was psychic at all, much less "psychic enough." Since then I have progressed through the advanced class and am currently in a mentoring group. Because of the assignments and work we do and the interaction and feedback from classmates and instructors, my gifts have really opened up and expanded in very exciting ways. Love you, Leigh and Echo! Thank you for making training like this available!!Sheryl, Texas
THE Best experience ever! Started me on my path to the awesome guy I am now.Marcus, Michigan

"I love running into Viva Institute alums all over the country! I recently attended a workshop in Maui, and on the first day of class, I turned to the person to my right to introduce myself, before I could ask her name, she excitedly blurted out, “Bernadette, you’re the reason I’m here - I was in your Viva Institute class!”  So in a room of about 500 people I just happened to sit next to my Viva Institute alumni! Thank you for bringing us all together in such a loving, supportive, mystical, beautiful and educational environment. I am so happy my path led me to you!”Bernadette, Washington, DC
