Rev. Simon Caudullo

Rev. Simon Caudullo is a registered medium of the Lily Dale Assembly as well as an ordained Spiritualist minister, healer and teacher. He is a graduate of the School of Spiritual Healing and Prophecy at Fellowships of the Spirit in Lily Dale. His path is an unusual one: he was first a Benedictine monk and then spent most of his working life in social work — as an alcoholism counsellor, psychological counsellor, director of a seniors programme, supervisor at a probation home, and for Catholic Charities as director of a group home for mentally and emotionally challenged adults. Later he founded and managed the Beverly Hills Ballet Company, the Southampton Ballet Company and The Conservatory of Danse together with his partner Aras Ames. By his own account he is a born medium who assumed early in life that everyone could hear spirit. He describes his perception as clairvoyant, clairsentient, clairaudient and accompanied by a general sense of knowing; he does not regard the information as his own — he sees himself as the postman delivering the messages. He understands a sitting as a three-way conversation — medium, client and Spirit — and expressly encourages clients to ask questions during the reading or to say when something is not understood. Questions, photographs, curiosity and doubts are all welcome. He gives private readings in person at Lily Dale (6 South Street) and by telephone: $50 for 15 minutes, $105 for 30 minutes, $160 for 45 minutes and $210 for one hour; cancellations are free up to 24 hours beforehand. He also offers mentoring in psychic and mediumistic development — four 30-minute sessions for $185, by telephone or in person, with an evaluation in the first session — as well as development classes at $15 per hour and a half. He deliberately limits the number of students he takes. Appointments are arranged by telephone, text message or e-mail.
