Lovely One,

There IS something you can do about the disheartening state of the world right now. There really is. I call it "being a healing presence."

"Healing presence" is the ability to listen to and be present with others in a non-judgmental compassionate way to support their journey to wholeness.

And it's supremely important in times like these.

Do YOU know how to be a healing presence? 

These are divisive times, times of fear, worry and heartbreak for many. I know because, as a spiritual director, I bear witness to so many stories of friendships broken and families torn apart by what is happening in the world. 

So I have been praying and asking for guidance about how I can help people cope with the stress of current times and heal this heartbreak. No matter which side of the political fence you are on, there is heartbreak. Each of us must do our part to heal and help others do the same. ​​​​​​​

For those of you who are feeling this call as I am,

I am going to offer a 5 week online training course: 

"How to Be a Healing Presence."

We need you. We need more people who are skilled in how to offer presence so inner calm, clarity and wisdom can return. We need people who can listen, be supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate with EVERYONE.

Holding presence is not something we come by naturally though, thanks to ego. And it is quite countercultural. There is an art, science and spiritual dimension to listening, receiving and embracing ALL—to cultivating presence.

I can't train you to be a spiritual director in 5 weeks, but I can teach you the method I use to provide healing presence with the people I love. And those I barely know. Even strangers!

I hope you will join me for this dynamic opportunity. Look for an announcement on "How to Be a Healing Presence" to arrive in your Inbox early next week. The course will run Feb. 6 - March 12.

You will serve yourself, your friends, family, workplace and community well by learning how to be a healing, listening presence. There are so many who need your care!

Love, 
Jan

P.S. A note of clarification. This course is not about being a healer or healing people with some sort of modality. It is about BEING a healing presence with and for others. There is a big difference. However, you WILL learn learn certain techniques and receive specific tools to offer presence.
