We’ve all been watching as major cultural shifts and events happen around us.

Where’s the hope for change?

Well, our times call for grassroots change that will have some signature qualities:

Local–place-based change through networks of coherent people. 

Synergistic–through people aligning around a common mission. 

Heart-centered–through an understanding that the energy of the heart…courage, love, compassion, grace…calls us to operate from a higher level of consciousness than the model we inherited.

If you are curious about these ideas, there is something within you that is resonant with a version of reality far beyond what we inherited.  

Perhaps you are curious because you notice the current conditions don’t contribute to our thriving.

As a volunteer founder of The Healing Garden, I invite you to tune into our work and feel uplifted about what positive change is possible.

The Healing Garden is a response to the call for meaningful, holistic, individual, and collective healing. We are co-creating group spaces—containers for healing and understanding what it means to be fully human.  Using sound science and practicing concepts with our whole being, we are helping each other dissolve the artificial silos that have been created around spiritual-mental-emotional and physical health. 

We do this by sharing an understanding and experiencing of how our body system works energetically.  

Ultimately, we are making room to remove the layers of conditioning, the limited beliefs, and the undigested emotions of the past to liberate energy, heal and co-create a better future of belonging, trust, and oneness.

People come to the events we have offered over the past two years for relief from anxiety, fear, depression, trauma and the effects of prolonged chemical, emotional and physical stress. 

We come with personal and collective grief and complex trauma.

Some people come with chronic “mystery illnesses” that modern medicine has written off as having no cure.

And other people come because they have the sense there is something more to life than what meets the eye, beyond what we know and have been taught.  And they feel the urge to connect, share, listen and explore the unknown.

We leave The Healing Garden events feeling hope, lightness of being, meaningful connection, and even freedom from the pain we came with.  We leave with tools that cost nothing to engage—tools that are in our awareness and in our body. We have educated ourselves on how to use our awareness—our consciousness—to shift our perception from overwhelm to focus, from anxiety to calm, from depression to clarity, and from feeling victimized to feeling an inner power to shift, change and evolve. 

We leave with a shared language to describe the art and science of healing, growth, and transformational change.   

How do we make this profound shift together? 

Simply put, we do it through understanding that we are more than our physical body.  We are energy. 

And we do it through the power of the heart.

Our heart is more than a mechanical organ. It’s the body’s most powerful energy center, with measurable magnetic power radiating energy within and around our body.

And most of us grew up not knowing that our heart has its own nervous system…and this nervous system has so much influence in our body, it is regulating the functioning of our brain.

Fundamentally, The Healing Garden is sharing the practice of heart-brain coherence so we all can have a first-hand experience of what it means to feel this power and to tune in to the creative energy of the heart and body.

Coherence means order and unity. When our heart and our brain are working harmoniously as one, we are operating optimally.  We think more clearly, we feel more at ease in our body, and we are regulating the emotional energy of our life. 

In a state of coherence, we are more in tune with the energy of our body, and we are accessing the information and guidance our body is offering.

What’s really amazing to me is that in a state of heart-brain coherence there is a remarkable shift in perception, and we begin to see openings, potentials and possibility where we didn’t before. In a state of coherence, we can tune in with laser precision to the intuitive intelligence of our heart.

It takes energy and focus to change.  Practicing heart coherence is one of many tools we share to generate a sense of inner refreshment and expand our capacity to access the necessary energy to change, heal, and create the life we want.

It is the EXPERIENCE of being in our own heart, and our witness to the heart of the collective, that cultivates within us a greater ability to challenge the limiting beliefs we have inherited and choose to believe something greater, more unified, and more unlimited.

This community holds a vision of a reality in which babies are born into a culture where they are fully nurtured to experience their capacity to be human—to navigate and enjoy life here on Earth, and to bring more beauty, joy, and love to this gorgeous planet. 

As we look out into the world and each identify those aspects of life now that are distant from our hopes and dreams, let’s consider that…

These problems don’t stem from parents or families that aren’t good enough, who aren’t doing enough or who aren’t working hard enough.  

They aren’t the result of good and loving doctors or health professionals who aren’t caring enough.  

And they aren’t happening because our society doesn’t have enough resources or material wealth to help those in need.

The crises of our time are rooted in the institutions and the model of reality we inherited which have deliberately or unconsciously systematically deprived human beings from knowing and being in alignment with our True Self.

In the model of reality we inherited, individual significance…personal agency…and self-authority have been usurped by industrialized, centralized, IMpersonal organizational structures. 

They programmed us to believe we are limited, separate, and not enough, which causes division, competition, and estrangement from ourselves and each other.  And they have conditioned us to…. defer to the world outside us, and to disconnect from and silence the whisperings of our own heart and Soul.

For so many of us, the current models have been the root source of our dis-ease and trauma, our dissociation, and our chemical, emotional and physical distress. 

All around us, we see an emergence of models with a new signature rooted in the laws of nature: models that are life-giving, decentralized, non-hierarchical, regenerative, and interconnected but place-based.

You know, contrary to what we inherited, we are magnificent, multidimensional, multisensory Beings connected through our heart to an infinite wellspring of intelligent energy that heals and creates.  Quantum physics—which is the science the fundamental laws of nature—is showing our heart—your heart!– is the connection point to the vast field of intelligent energy that unifies everyone, everything, everywhere and every time.

It’s time for a model of humancare that flows with and engages the inherent power within each of us.

And now, contemplate the laws of nature. What is it like to be the school of fish or a flock of birds?  No ONE and EVERY one is leading. What is it like to be a unified superorganism called humanity, with SO…MUCH…POWER to shift what we inherited. 

In fact, NOW is the time for each of us to step into the role of being the people who BECOME this change.

Our mission, vision, and passion for every individual to embrace wellness from within, to train a coherent community network of teachers, nurses, and community members to amplify the science of heart coherence, to experience unity consciousness in groups, to share inspiring stories of healing and possibility, and, in time, to have a healing sanctuary home here in mid-coast Maine.
