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.

Anthony Mikolojeski An Evening with Spirit The Asheville Medium
May 15 @ 7:00 pm
The Center

Anthony-Mikolojeski-1-v1.jpg

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.

Wisdom from a Medical Intuitive
Jun 16 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Online

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.

Introducing local Asheville resident, Adora Winquist of ADORAtherapy, a world-renowned healer, alchemist and author.

Adora will be hosting a book signing and product demo at the Asheville Salt Cave on Thurs August 5th. Her new book titled “Detox,Nourish, Activate: Plant and Vibrational Medicine for Energy, Mood and Love” was released beginning of July 2021 and has received rave reviews. The book can be ordered from her website, Aeon Books, or Amazon, or at the event.

This revolutionary book guides readers along the path of self-mastery and the ultimate expression of their personal truth, offering a three- step system designed to heal trauma at the core level from this lifetime and many previous generations. Three well-being areas are explored in-depth, with eleven primary alchemical interventions to facilitate healing down to the DNA level.

We would love the opportunity to introduce you to Adora and to share this revolutionary book with you. Please join her at this event, held outdoors in the gardens at the renowned Asheville Salt Cave Spa. This nature-inspired salt cave offers pure relaxation and a chance to recharge, with 20 tons of pure pink salt that has naturally recreated the micro climate of a salt mine. This climate is maintained with the specific temperature and humidity levels found in a naturally occurring cave. The salt in their cave comes from all corners of the earth: from deep in the Polish salt mines, to the Dead Sea, to the Himalayan Mountains, to the Celtic Sea. It is antibacterial, uncontaminated by dirt, and is free of toxins and pollutants.

Adora and the Asheville Salt Cave promise an evening of reflection, relaxation, meditation and purpose.
We look forward to welcoming you!

As you know I’ve been connected to a group of light beings. When I first started sharing, it was just important to share the frequency as there were no words.

Now there are words accompanying the energy. The words are guidance and teachings.

When others resonate this frequency gets stronger for everyone. Therefore when we meet as a group there can be an exponential shift. This shift has a ripple effect and can be felt around the world.

I will be starting a small in person group that will meet the first and third Monday of each month from 6:30 to 8:00. The space will be limited to 6 to 8 people.

There will be singing bowls and the opportunity for people to ask questions. Please bring your questions and make your questions succinct.

You must register and can do so without a donation. There will be an opportunity at the end of the meeting if you would like to donate.

You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh Discussion

 You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh Discussion

You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment by Thich Nhat Hanh was published in 2010. This book has a 5 star rating with 1560 reviews. We will discuss this book during an online zoom call. This book is available in print, audio, and Kindle formats. Use this link to purchase https://tinyurl.com/brubf48j

Description of the book: Cut through the busyness and anxieties of daily life to discover the simple happiness of living in the present moment, as taught by a world-renowned Zen monk

In this book, Thich Nhat Hanh—Zen monk, author, and meditation master—distills the essence of Buddhist thought and practice, emphasizing the power of mindfulness to transform our lives. But true mindfulness, Hanh explains, is not an escape. It is being in the present moment, totally alive and free.

Based on a retreat that Thich Nhat Hanh led for Westerners, You Are Here offers a range of effective practices for cultivating mindfulness and staying in the present moment—including awareness of breathing and walking, deep listening, and skillful speech. These teachings will empower you to witness the wonder of life and transform your suffering, both within and outside you, into compassion, tenderness, and peace. As Thich Nhat Hanh declares, “the energy of mindfulness is the energy of the Buddha, and it can be produced by anybody.” It is as simple as breathing in and breathing out.

Benjamin Bernstein’s Annual Astrological Look to the Future

Benjamin Bernstein's Annual Astrological Look to the Future

On Friday, January 21, Benjamin Bernstein will be presenting his annual look at upcoming transits for the new year. Asheville Friends of Astrology is also introducing a new registration procedure for 2022.

Up to this point, we have relied on voluntary contributions to compensate our speakers for their considerable time and effort in preparing and presenting their talks to our members. For some time now, however, this has not been working. Therefore, we will be asking attendees to make their speaker donations prior to attending the talk as part of our new registration process.

This is how it will work. Attendees will register by going to PayPal and sending your contribution to [email protected]. This is Deborah Hellman’s (our Treasurer) PayPal account, and it will show up as Akashic Records Education. Contribute to our speaker (add a note that you are registering for AFOA’s January 2022 meeting) and Deborah will send you the Zoom link and password for Benjamin’s talk within 24 hours before the presentation. Of course, please do not share this link and password with anyone else.

We are asking you to make a minimum speaker’s donation of $5. Feel free to contribute more and the PayPal account will also be open after the talk if you are inclined to increase your donation amount. We hope that you appreciate that our speakers put in many hours of preparation in order to deliver an informative and enjoyable presentation filled with astrological insight. If you feel that you cannot afford the minimum donation, you may contact Deborah at [email protected] to negotiate a sliding scale fee. Also, if you do not have access to PayPal or are having a difficult time making the donation, please contact Deborah.

In 2021, we experienced a world still turned upside down. So what can we expect in 2022?

AFOA founding member Benjamin Bernstein will give his annual forecast lecture via Zoom on Friday, January 21 at 7 PM US Eastern Time. This call may reach capacity, so register early.

The Saturn-Uranus square that we experienced last year is still active in 2022 and Benjamin will be telling us about an important “mini grand trine” that will be coming into aspect soon. Expect Benjamin to be recharged and full of his good energy as we explore what lies ahead astrologically.
To register, go to PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/us/home and make your minimum $5 speaker’s donation to [email protected]. Your Zoom link and password will be emailed within 24 hours before the presentation. The event is being recorded and all registrants will receive a recording link shortly afterward.

AstroShaman” Benjamin Bernstein hosts This Week in Astrology, a Top 10 Astrology Podcast, and is a 3-time Best Astrologer Winner. He has done over 9000 Astrology, Shamanic Healing and Life Coaching sessions with a global clientele, and runs the “Awakening Plus” online spiritual support membership.
