Meeting that raises the spirits (6)
I believe the answer is:
seance
'meeting' is the definition.
(I know that seance is a type of meeting)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seance that I've seen before include "Medium experience?" , "Meeting held by a medium" , "Spiritualist meeting presided over by medium" , "spirited meeting" , "Spiritualist session with medium in charge" .)
