Healing Exchange
Thursday, June 28, 7:00-8:30 pm
Please come and spend an evening giving and receiving… We welcome holistic practitioners of all modalities. This event is open to all healers. Membership in the Alliance is not required to participate. As healers we are often giving to others and do not always sufficiently attend to ourselves and keep ourselves in balance. Consistent with our mission of collaborative ventures promoting connections, we wish to encourage the sharing of our gifts with each other with as much attention to receiving as giving, supporting the concept of healthy reciprocity. This is an opportunity to get to know another local practitioner/healer and his/her work in a more intimate way.
For this seventh healer’s exchange we are allowing a certain amount of synchronicity and spontaneity. We expect there will be time for one full exchange of 30 to 45 minutes in each direction. Details may be negotiated in each practitioner pair. Alliance members will be on hand to facilitate practitioner pairings for those newer to this community. As we will only have two or three massage tables available, if you require a table we ask you to bring one.

East of the River Community Events (Charitable activities)
Focus Group
These clinics are held for an existing support group that would like to further explore methods of healing in a closed group session with their peers. The greatest value to this is being supported in a safe, caring environment where you can share and connect with people whom you already know.
We are looking for any groups that may benefit from this such as woman's shelters, survivor groups or veterans, etc.
If you know of any such groups please contact us or let the group know about us.
