A Hands-On, How-To Course in Evidence-Based Mediumship with Suzanne Giesemann
Suzanne holds nothing back in this practical, hands-on course for students at all levels. She will teach you a step-by-step process for connecting with those on the other side. You will have ample opportunities to improve your abilities and experience new levels of connection across the veil.

Registration has been updated to reflect the new dates and there will be seats available. If you had registered previously, your registration has been changed for the new dates and there is no further action required unless you need to cancel. Please DO NOT contact the hotel yet to change rooms. We will determine if the hotel will automatically move your reservation to the corresponding dates in August and will update you soon.

Intro Shinrin-yoku with a Phipps Indoor Forest Bath
Become immersed and find repose in the quiet embrace of mother earth.
Think about what it feels like to be in the forest— to be surrounded by ancient giants with bright, soft leaves and deep protective roots. You hear the water running through the veins of the earth and each small creature kept safe and alive in the pristine expanse of green canopy. What can you touch? Smell? This is the essence of shinrin-yoku, or the intentional act of becoming immersed and finding repose in the quiet embrace of mother earth.
Forest bathing is not exactly what it sounds like— no bathtubs involved. As a translation from Japanese, ‘bathing’ refers to the act of spending time within nature and allowing this experience to strengthen our connection to liminal space and transformation.
