Throughout the weekend we will spend time together as one large group and will break up at various times between multiple sessions for you to choose what suits you best. There are no age restrictions or limits on sessions – if you are bringing children, please have them attend whatever you feel is most suitable for their age and development. If the sessions are geared to an older audience, we will have additional options at that time for younger children.
All sessions are optional – if you would prefer to spend time roaming the beautiful grounds of the camp, writing, drawing, or simply relaxing on your own – you are free to do that as well. It's your weekend!
Workshop particulars are subject to change.

Group Psychic Mediumship Reading & Energetic Healing with professional Psychic Medium, Anna Blossom Cohen
Starting with a grounding meditation Anna will set the intention for divine connection and healing messages to come through from loved ones who have passed away or are yet to come, from spirit guides and/or from animals. Energetic healing may be offered or information on life path direction as well. Depending on the size of the group, either all or some will receive messages directly. Some messages may be layered and for multiple people, and some will be very specific. The witnessing as well as the receiving are equally important and enriching. Being in the presence of such an experience often leaves one feeling grounded, whole and at peace. You can learn more about this process and Anna’s work here http://www.annablossom.us
