Igniting the
Spark Within
YOU’VE WRITTEN 13 BOOKS AND
HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN SEVERAL
TELEVISION PROJECTS BASED ON
YOUR WORK. ANY FAVORITES? I
was the Executive Producer of the hit
series, The Ghost Whisperer, with Jennifer
Love Hewitt. That was a very special
project to me because it reached so
many people. We took a subject matter
like communication with the Spirit world
and portrayed it in a realistic way so that
people could relate to it and discover
the truth without living in fear. And once
people get over their fear of death, it
makes room for love to flow in.
SPEND A
LIFE-CHANGING
WEEKEND
AT THE DEL
Spiritual teacher, world-renowned psychic
medium, television personality and New
York Times bestselling author, James Van
Praagh is hailed as one of the world’s
most celebrated and respected spiritual
mediums who’s spent the last three
decades relaying messages from the
other side. James is known as a “survival
evidence medium,” meaning that he
provides evidential proof of life after
death through detailed messages from the
spiritual realm. A special two-day event at
The Del, Igniting the Spark Within, offers
a rare opportunity to attend an Evening
of Spirit Demonstration with James, along
with an empowering day workshop with
both James and Donna Bond.
During the Evening of Spirit
Demonstration, James brings through
messages of love, forgiveness and
comfort from those who have passed over.
It’s impossible not to be moved by the
joyful, healing energy that fills the room
when James connects the living with their
friends and loved ones on the other side.
We caught up with James to learn more
about him and this exciting event.
WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALIZE YOU
HAD THIS ABILITY? When I was a very
young child, I assumed everyone could
see ghosts like I could. While saying
my prayers at night, I would see my
TELL US ABOUT THE EVENING OF
SPIRIT DEMONSTRATION. There’s
nothing frightening or threatening about
the spirits that I bring through — they are
coming from a place of pure love! It’s
likely that the spirits who show up are
connected with members of the audience.
grandparents at the foot of my bed. This
never scared me – it seemed absolutely
natural. I mentioned it to my mother, and
she wasn’t surprised at all. She told me
that when she was a young girl, she could
see spirits too and that I should consider it
a gift and not something to be afraid of.
WHAT IS YOUR UNDERLYING BELIEF
AS A MEDIUM? I believe that the reason
I’m here is to be a conduit for the spirit
world – sharing the divine message that
death is an illusion, and that love – like life
– never dies, it continues on.
WILL EVERYONE HEAR FROM THEIR
LOVED ONES WHO HAVE PASSED?
Not everyone will receive a personal
message, but each person in the
audience will experience their own
transformation. You will leave feeling a
stronger connection with loved ones in
the Spirit Realm, comforted by the
evidence that death is an illusion and love
never dies.
TELL US ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS
IGNITING THE SPARK WITHIN, LIVING
A MORE MEANINGFUL LIFE. The
workshop was inspired by a question that
is posed to me again and again by my
students. So many people look at their life
and wonder, “is this all there is?” or “am
I fulfilling my true purpose?” This course
is about listening to your intuition, the
voice of your soul, to find your true path
in life. I will teach you to use your natural
psychic ability in the most practical and
meaningful way imaginable to find joy and
live your best life.
MEET
DONNA BOND
Donna is a transformation consultant, a
professional life and business coach, and
a spiritual advisor with a master’s degree
in Spiritual Psychology from the University
of Santa Monica. Donna offers workshops
and private coaching journeys helping
clients achieve new heights of meaningful
success, personal fulfillment and spiritual
aliveness.
WHAT’S MOST EXCITING TO YOU
ABOUT THIS EVENT? The chance
to be alongside James with his many
decades of experience in this space is
humbling and fills me with inspiration.
This event is an awesome opportunity to
get a 360-degree view of our humanness
and our spiritual nature. James is
communicating directly with the spirit
world and I will bring things down to earth
in an easy way to understand how to
integrate some of these mindset shifts into
your own life.
WHY SHOULD PEOPLE ATTEND
IGNITING THE SPARK WITHIN?
Everyone has a spark of energy within
them that animates all things. This is the
spark of one’s own spiritual essence. Most
of us don’t pay attention to it until faced
with a big life drama like illness, divorce,
or loss. This event will help people learn
how to recognize this spark, understand
where it comes from, and how to access
it and incorporate it into their lives for the
purpose of living a more rich existence.
PLEASE SHARE A FEW DETAILS
ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS.
Igniting the Spark Within will have
experiential activities that include working
with partners during processes of self-
discovery, closed-eye journeys led by
James and an exploration of ego-mind
versus our Spiritual nature. The day
will end with James leading a guided
meditation overlooking the ocean as the
sun goes down.
