Forest bathing is a ancient Japanese practice for de-stressing and relating to the more-than-human world. It has gained much popularity in Asia, and now in the US, as a growing bank of scientific research is demonstrating it’s healing benefits.
Forest bathing has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, depression and anger while strengthening the immune system, improving cardiovascular and metabolic health and increasing overall wellbeing.
It’s a delicious way to be in the world!
Transformational Forest Bathing weaves in techniques from eco-therapy, depth psychology, wilderness rites of passage and mythic storytelling to form a powerfully transformative experience. We will work with whatever is holding you back right now and show you how to work with the land to gain insight on your next steps forward. As you shift through this current block you’ll learn how navigate this way in the future.
You will:
– Unwind the knots you formed by keeping it all together
– Learn how to let the forest hold you
– Connect deeply to the more-than-human world
– Shift into a state of consciousness that allows you to receive information and nourishment, one where you don’t need to figure it out
– Learn how to work with the natural world to move through whatever is blocking you right now
– Open the door to reclaiming your ancestral heritage
Is this for you?
Honestly, if you are simply looking for some stress reduction and a lovely walk in the forest this isn’t the program for you. If you are ready to dig deep and do some soul-tending then come on over!
It doesn’t matter if you already have a strong nature connection practice or you have never heard of it, the program is designed to work for any level of previous nature connection experience.
What is key is your desire and willingness to work with whatever part of you is holding you back from living the life you want right now.

Our loved ones are very much a part of our daily lives!
Anthony Mikolojeski is a third-generation Polish-American psychic and natural-born medium. He first experienced his gifts of clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience, and communication with the spirit world as a child of five years of age. Over the years, these spiritual experiences increased, which led him to realize he had a special mission in the world, which set him on his mediumship journey. As a psychic medium, he is very passionate about his work and he believes mediumship is the most fulfilling experience in his life. Being able to connect with loved ones in the spirit world not only provides the evidence of the afterlife, but also allows the love, closure, and healing to be given to his clients. A simultaneous healing occurs for the loved one in the spirit world and the client here in the physical. This healing allows us, as souls, to let go of the deep emotions that may be holding us back in life; thus allowing us to live more fully and joyfully and on our blueprint path. Anthony has studied with some of the world’s top mediums in the U.S. and U.K. His travels have led him to study at the prestigious Arthur Findlay College to further his advanced education in mediumship.
“My responsibility is to hold a positive space and always come from a place of love. I truly feel that I was given this beautiful gift from God to help people. This opportunity to give validating messages imparts the beautiful understanding that our souls do live on past the physical realm.”
Clairvoyance – the ability to see images/visions and people
Clairaudience – the ability to hear sounds and voices
Clairscentience – the ability to smell perfumes, foods, tobacco
Claircognizance – the internal feeling or clear knowing by Spirit
Clairempathy – clear emotion while tuning in the emotional experience of the person or place
Animal Communication – receiving messages from pets from the spirit world, as well as pets that are still living.

Patti Conklin is a vibrational mediator, teacher, lecturer, radio personality, host of the TV show Healing Within: An Adventure Inside on Binge Networks and author of the book God Within: The Day God’s Train Stopped. Patti’s primary goal in her work is to help people ‘become insubstantial without transitioning” ie, how do we let go of judgement while we are still living. In addition to facilitating health of mind and body, she extends her understanding of energy medicine as a keynote speaker with warmth and humor, empowering listeners to take control of their health through a deeper understanding of their own thoughts and behaviors. Patti has traveled the world, practicing her distinctive style of energy medicine in over 60 countries!
The work Patti does is unique in that it often involves collaboration with Western medicine physicians. While Patti believes that all physical illness stems from an emotional core, she still strongly believes that the body needs Western and Eastern methodologies in addition to spiritual awareness in order to reverse illness or come to terms with past experiences or trauma through love, acceptance, compassion, and humor. Clearing the lifetime of emotion from the body most often returns the body to homeostasis.
In the 26 years that she has been working as a vibrational mediator, Patti has been featured in several well-received books, including Soul Agreements by Dick Sutphen and Radical Remissions by Dr. Kelly Turner. She was honored with The Founder’s Award from the Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association in 2007, The President’s Award in 2004 from the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, and inducted into the International Hypnosis Hall of Fame in 1996. She has been labeled by colleagues, physicians, and clients as one of the greatest Medical Intuitives of the 21st Century.
In her spare time, Patti can be found down at the race track with her sons and grandchildren or on the water in her boat with her family and friends. Patti lives in Georgia in a cozy little cabin on the lake.
