How to Be a Healing Presence:
Introductory Training Course with Workbook
Self-paced, contemplative, interspiritual/interfaith
What does it mean to BE "a healing presence."
To be comfortable within yourself—open, curious, and compassionate--so you can be this way with others too, holding space for wholeness to emerge and for healing to happen.
Why is healing presence so important in the world right now?
We live in perilous times. We are in danger of losing our deepest, most precious connections to loved ones, friends & neighbors due to political, ethnic & religious differences. There are rifts to be healed in our beloved families. Rumi was right. As awakened humans, we need to hold space for the soul to re-emerge so we can remember who we are to one another.
Feeling frustrated & failed by major institutions, many people today feel isolated & alone, with no one to talk with about what matters most. Everyday struggles mount up making some people feel angry or depressed, burdened or hopeless. You may be one of these people.

With healing presence, we do not need to fix, repair or rescue anyone. We do not even have to offer advice. When we speak encouraging words, we take ourselves out of the picture. All we need to do is be present with people as they are, as things are. What a gift to both listener and receiver! |

"I am retired now, and even though I was trained as a professional counselor, this course showed me I was not listening as well as I could. It helped me sharpen my listening skills. It also made me realize that I was not always listening compassionately to others—without an agenda. Thank you for this great refresher!" A.J. United States |
