Healing Circles Global is a non-profit organisation whose vision is to provide positive social support to anyone who asks for it. This takes place in small circles built on a framework that brings out the best in people. It encourages participants to treat one another with kindness and respect, hold one another’s stories in confidence, withhold judgment, and honour one another’s unique path to healing without advising, fixing or rescuing.
Circle participants work together to explore the best ways to remove obstacles to healing, alleviate suffering and deepen their capacity to heal. They also access their own inner guidance to determine where the greatest healing—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual—can occur.
The Healing Circles learning community is growing and includes centers in Canada, the US, and Israel with new centers taking root in India, Switzerland, Thailand, and among groups of professionals, such as healthcare professionals and chaplains. The online global programs are already reaching out across the US and Canada to Europe, Asia, South America, and the Middle East.
Michael Lerner and Rachel Naomi Remen, founded of the Commonweal with a vision of healing ourselves and healing the earth, understood that each of us has the capacity for “intentional healing” at physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
