Lunch with a Psychic: “Whispers from Heaven” with Medium Patricia Griffin

Sunday, October 27, 2024 | 2:30 – 5:00pm

Please join us for an afternoon luncheon at the Spa at Norwich Inn with Psychic Medium Patricia Griffin:

Patty Griffin has had this gift her entire life, but at first was afraid and unsure of what to do with it.

She began reading professionally in 2014, and has since performed readings across the East Coast, for private readings, fundraisers, gallery and stage events. She finds gratitude in helping to provide peace of mind, closure and validation for many guests.

Griffin says: “When you can connect to spirit, it can help to show you that those we lost are truly still with us, watching over and guiding us. Love lives on and never dies… our essence, our spirit, and our love remain.

Many people ask Patty: “Can you see dead people?” The answer is yes. Sights, sounds, messages, etc. Her gift as a medium doesn’t “shut off” when she leaves the office.

Patty is also a proud Mom who lives in Connecticut.

Price: $59* Per Person
