The Healing Journey, deepening on our path Responding to our longing to connect to ourselves and our world more fully, The Healing Journey seed group is a space to explore our path towards greater wholeness. Over the course of the week, the group will follow the flow of the gathering – beginning with discovering the intentions and themes that brought us here, then moving into expressing the feelings and energies we hold back (the Despair & Empowerment Ritual) and closing with integrating and understanding our experiences from the week. We will create a safe container for heartfelt expression and exploration of our inner landscape with a focus on understanding and connecting more fully to what is emerging in and through us.
