Wednesday, 4 February, 2026

Send a textIn this deeply personal and historically important episode of Psychic Matters, Ann Théato is joined by Jean Else, the wife, partner and closest collaborator of the late Mavis Pittilla, one of the most influential and respected teachers of mediumship of the modern era.Together, they explore the life, work and legacy of Mavis Pittilla, going beyond the public figure to reveal the woman shaped by war, loss, humility and unwavering service. From her early years as a mill girl in the north of England, through illness, spontaneous mediumistic awakening and decades of teaching, this conversation offers a rare and intimate insight into how Mavis understood mediumship not as performance or gift, but as responsibility, discipline and service to two worlds.Jean shares first-hand accounts of Mavis’ training, her philosophy of evidence, ethics and trust, her relationship with Gordon Higginson, and her lasting impact on the Arthur Findlay College and the wider mediumship community.
