You’re Invited to a FREE Online Healing Circle

Event Details

The event will feature the following two activities:

  • Guided Meditation - A short breathing exercise to connect with our bodies, the present moment, and cultivate a more centered sense of self

  • Healing Circle -

    • With facilitator support, participants are invited to share and listen to each other’s personal stories from the heart.  It is a non-judgmental space where we can deepen into compassion and connection for one another. Through our stories, we create less fear and more love. 

    • These Healing Circles were inspired in response to the many rapid changes our world is currently going through including, in particular, the dehumanizing ICE raids occurring in immigrant communities in Los Angeles and nationally.  They are intended to help counter the fear, uncertainty, and isolation that many of us are experiencing. They are also motivated by a deep-seated belief that our fates are inextricably linked and that, ultimately, we are responsible for helping to heal each other and our one, shared world.

    • Cameras: To facilitate a shared sense of connection, trust, and safety, we ask that you prepare to be on camera throughout the Healing Circle event.  Of course, we understand that life situations come up and you may need to briefly turn your camera off. 

    • Participation: This is a small, highly interactive event. To better enable authentic communication and healing, we ask that you plan to dedicate your full attention to it.  If you think that you will be distracted by other activities (i.e. driving, cooking, childcare, etc.) while trying to participate in the Healing Circle, please sign up at a time when you can be more present.

    • More Information: Read “What Is Council Practice?”
      (A Healing Circle is one form of Way of Council.)

Healing for All

This event is free in service of healing for all.

In the spirit of community, if you’d like to reduce the financial barrier for others to receive healing services that the facilitators provide, you can contribute to our Healing Scholarship Fund.  There will be an opportunity to pay it forward at the end of the event.

Registration

Registration is limited to 15 participants. If registration is closed when you try to sign up, you can be put on the Healing Circles mailing list by emailing Dana at dana@windhorsetransformationalcoaching.com.
