Nature retreats are facilitated by Pat Tuholske who has been a Missouri Ozark forest dweller working with herbal medicine and practicing shamanism for three decades. Elemental Earthcamp is now in its 24th season. She is the crafter of Willow Rain Herbal Goods, providing herbal salves, oils, Native Herbal Tea (aka Essiac) and wreaths made from the wild native plants of Earthcamp.
Having been schooled as a child on the western bank of the Mississippi, Pat felt the sacredness of this mighty river even as she witnessed the blight of industry. Pat’s life purpose is to help people reconnect with Nature and claim their sense of wholeness as they heal Nature from the effects of pollution and habitat destruction. Awareness of ancient people’s philosophy and spiritual folk traditions has taught her the power of natural healing and deep spiritual living.
No longer conducing private sessions, Pat now offers her Sacred Circle wreath as a portal to healing. Contact her with your request and she will weave your intentions and prayers into your Sacred Circle. Nature is the guide in this council of plant spirit medicine.
In her late teens, Pat became a student of horticulture and plant medicine. In 1983 she began her studies in earth awareness with Sun Bear as a tribal apprentice and nature spirit communication with Dorothy Maclean of Findhorn and Machaelle Small Wright of Perelandra. Shamanic skills were cultivated with Michael Harner, Sandra Ingerman, Brant Secunda and Tom Cowan. Pat is a member of the Society of Shamanic Practitioners and is a perpetual pupil of plants; spirit allies; Celtic ancestors; and her dogs, Finn and Morgan.
Pat, Finn and Morgan are members of the K9 Unit of the Eureka Fire District Search and Rescue and volunteer their services to help the lost and missing. Pat started K9 Search and Rescue training in 1998.
