 Clairvoyant Center : deepen your awareness of self and find fresh perspectives
The Clairvoyant Center is situated in the unique and eclectic Main-Dempster Mile at 941 Chicago Ave. Founded in 2000, it has been a place for people to explore their spirituality, self-discovery and to gain awareness as well as representing a safe place for spiritual growth. It also acts as a sanctuary for spiritual awareness, wellness and training.
The Center offers classes and students are offered opportunities that grounds them in an environment which the Center fosters. Its evolution stemmed from a need to provide individuals a chance to open up to new avenues in their lives.

Upon arrival, visitors should expect to find a serene space where they can sit, close their eyes and be guided through a meditation session that gives them access to their inner realms.
