Healing is....

Healing is a lifelong journey toward wholeness.

Healing is remembering what has been forgotten about connection and unity and interdependence among all living things.

Healing is embracing what is most feared.

Healing is opening what has been closed, softening what has hardened into obstruction.

Healing is entering into the transcendent, timeless moment when one experiences the divine.

Healing is creativity and passion and love.

Healing is seeking and expressing self in its fullness, its light and shadow, its male and female.

Healing is learning to trust life.
