Art of Healing

The Art of Healing workshop is for anyone who is tired, anxious, struggling with motivation, and generally disheartened by the state of the world. It is designed to help you identify and understand your physical and emotional state more completely and, thereby, restore a sense of wellbeing. During the workshop, we’ll discuss what healing looks like to you as an individual, and also what healing is to a collective. We will identify any emotional pain or distress you may be experiencing, and what you can do to heal it, or reframe it – a concept known as turning dirty pain into clean pain. The workshop can be especially useful for empaths and Highly Sensitive People (HSP), who are are impacted by the emotional state of others (i.e., people at work, school, home, and other environments), in addition to their own.

What you receive:

• A workbook to educate and guide you in the art of healing journey.
• Reflection exercises to fully understand your physical and emotional state.
• Discussion questions to share in small groups.
• Evidence-based practices to calm your nervous system.
• Links to educational media (e.g., videos and podcasts) to enhance the learning experience.
• Reading list to strengthen your knowledge of healing practices.
• A curated musical playlist specific to workshop topics.

What to Expect During This Workshop

Have the last few years been difficult for you?

The analogy that gets used is that we are all in the “same boat”. I would argue that we are all in the same storm and in different boats. Some of us may have sail boats, some have ships, some have row boats and some have inflatable rafts. Regardless of our vessel, the tidal waves have affected each of us. All this to say it has been rough waters! Some call what we’ve been through a “collective dark night of the soul”.

This workshop sheds light on our hearts’ journey over the last few years, offering hope for a new beginning. It will give you the tools necessary to not only heal what grieves you today but better navigate loss, hurt, and pain in the future.

“Without inner change, there can be no outer change. Without collective change, no change matters,” said Angel Kyodo Williams, writer, activist, ordained Zen priest and author.

Through this experiential process, you will discover a profound realization that reconnects you to yourself and others in safe and compassionate ways.

The art of healing is an exploratory workshop that investigates the ingredients of healing.

Identifying the different ways in which wounds exist and developing tools to address them is essential. Healing can be a powerful process that has lasting change. 

In The Art of Healing Workshop, we explore topics like joy, grief, presence, hope and your relationship to healing.

Author Resmaa Menakem highlights the importance of turning “dirty pain” into “clean pain” in his book My Grandmother’s Hands. He explains that “clean pain is about choosing integrity over fear… and the first step to changing this dynamic is settling our own bodies, one by one.“
