The path of a healer has never been an easy one. You give so much of yourself to your craft, to serving others, to transforming lives. You take the risks of compassion, love and activism to “be the change”. But then, our modern world, as damaged as it is, often scoffs at the idea of healing as being too “out there” or impractical.
In truth, you understand that this sort of disconnection from the self and general misunderstanding of what it really takes to improve life on a personal and global scale is why we need healing– and healers! – so desperately.
In the face of these challenges, in a world so full of pain and suffering, what does it take to build the strength and maintain the reserves required of a healer in a world? It takes a fierce dedication to self-care and a sustained spiritual practice.
And because it’s often hardest for you to devote your energy and attention to yourself, it takes a compassionate partner who will help make space for your fears, your questions, and your longing to make sense of “all that is.”
Healing is seldom a solitary task. Even with all of your wisdom and experience (or, perhaps, because of it?) you need someone who can walk beside you on this adventure into your own spirit, across the terrain of dreams, and through this landscape of suffering.
Through intimate, safe, and private conversations we’ll explore healing ways to restore you and to understand how your every nighttime dream comes in service for your health, healing, wisdom and wholeness.
Whether your work offers the smallest of compassionate tasks for a loved one, or you’re in a practice that offers healing and restoration to others, or you work in the larger arenas of the world addressing justice and peace, social change, environmental issues and other healing callings, you know the work is so rewarding and necessary. But you tend to give and give until you push yourself to your emotional, physical, and spiritual limits. And then, you try to give some more.
You may sit with the grief of someone who has lost a loved one, absorbing their tears, heartaches and confusions. You may be invited to be present as a client describes the traumas and tragedies of their lives.
You may be discouraged by environmental destruction, global pandemics, political divisions and violence and the seeming inability to bring about lasting, healing change to our world.
Yet, healers like you don’t stop. You have gifts and a calling to carry on.
As a healer, you don’t give up. You keep diving into the anguish, anyway, to offer gifts of compassion and insight. You offer your calm, thoughtful presence to bring healing, workable alternatives to violence and polarization. And because it’s often hardest for you to devote your energy and attention to yourself, it takes a compassionate partner who will help make space for your fears, your questions, and your longing to make sense of “all that is.”
