Well the general gist is that two or more people come together to call upon a spirit. Usually one person acts as the medium for the spirit to talk through. It's usually often used for grieving loved ones or things like that; 'let's call up Uncle Jim to tell him I love him.' It's not limited to just spirits however. The one I went to called forth some sort of ancient Hebrew demon and I've heard of one that summoned an Egyptian god.

I'd be the best candidate for a medium. After all, I'm a target for this sort of nonsense and I doubt you'd want word of this to get out to other people. The seance that I went to used summoning text from an old occult book...I'll ask around to see if there's anything like that which might be of use, I've got people in the rare book circuit.
[ of course, it ended with someone getting possessed by a demon and Dorian getting hit by a car BUT LET'S NOT TELL MARK THAT. ]
In my experience, fire's a good way to get rid of anything possessing you. We'll have something on stand-by should things go south. Of course, the most likely thing is that nothing will happen...but wouldn't it be amazing if something did?
