Becoming Whole, Becoming Healers.

The archetype of The Wounded Healer points us towards the path of becoming whole in order to become healers. This wondrous path leads us through self-awareness, self-compassion and compassion for all the world to becoming a healing presence — radiant, whole and available to the God-light that will shine through our unique refraction:

• Drawing on the wisdom and vocabularies of neuroscience and spiritual practice to re-wire our brains and open our hearts to blessing.
• Reclaiming the parts of ourselves that have been split off in moments of trauma, and release the residue of shame and alienation that keeps us from connecting with Unity Consciousness.
• Including the modalities of Chant, Art, Movement, Energy work, and Healing Circles.

Our mornings were filled with deep spiritual practices that will reveal old patterns of negativity and self-sabotage, and then open us to the possibilities of healing, wholeness and generosity. Our afternoons were more spacious, allowing for integration of the power of our practice through art, movement, receptivity to the enchanted landscape of New Mexico, and the opportunity for massage, energy work and time for supported reflection and attention to the inner landscape. Each evening we participated in a healing ritual to crown the day.

Our week of spiritual immersion culminated in the glorious celebration of Shabbat, a day to revel in newfound possibilities, open to blessing, and step through the doors that have been opened by our practice.
