Nature Reconnection - Practitioner/Healer Training ONLINE or IN PERSON
Sept. 19, 20, 21, 2025; 10:00 am-5:30 pm Eastern
Most clients suffer from “Nature Deficit Disorder” and are not aware of the many ways their daily lives are statements against nature and part of the larger cultural insanity.

Friday, Sept. 19 is a special outdoor ceremony you can do where you are or with me at a Silver Spring, MD park. Detailed printed material included. Contact me for eligibility.

Part 2 Clinic (in-person preferred): Nov. 1-2, 2025; 10:00 am-5:30 pm Eastern
Safely release to their rightful place non-sentient forms that do not belong, a.k.a. "extraction": old rage or grief, intrusions, implants, other basic energy blocks. Includes lifting obsessions, hooks, cords, spells, protection issues, and curses, whether personal, ancestral, cultural, or cosmological. Taught from a cross-cultural shamanic perspective. Detailed printed material included. Contact me for eligibility. Full series details here
Spirit Release (Depossession) - Practitioner/Healer Training ONLINE & IN PERSON

Part 2 Clinic (in-person preferred): Friday Dec. 5 and Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025; 10:00 am-5:30 pm Eastern
Safely restore to their rightful place sentient forms who have died. For those dead who are attached to a living host, Betsy Bergstrom’s profound spirit release ("depossession") approach is unique in the healing afforded to the spirit crossing over. It’s also the most gentle, complete, and effective for the possessed client-host. Some depossession methods are scary; this one is beautiful. Detailed printed material included. Contact me for eligibility. Full series details here
