Under the purview of MettaKnowledge for Peace, I provide individual healing sessions using knowledge and techniques from a variety of western and non-western disciplines, including shamanism. I also provide consulting services to organizations working to alleviate human suffering. Whether I am doing on-site training in organizations or individual healing sessions, my focus is on understanding and transforming patterns of trauma and vicarious trauma in all of us.
Many of us have our own stories of living in families where emotional, physical and sexual abuse were the norm. Or perhaps we have experienced sexual assault or have survived domestic violence. Or we may live in or come from nations or communities where violence such as war, poverty or genocide have stripped us of our ancient ways for seeking meaning, connection, balance, healing and peace. We may live in places or work in fields where we are dealing daily with the problems of violence and the suffering of our fellow human beings and animals.
Whatever our circumstances, we can transform our lives and the world around us with self-reflection, passion, heart, and creativity. We can find our personal calling and our spiritual path, whether we define it as Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Pagan, atheistic, agnostic, or New Age. Storytelling, meditation, art, prayer, deep and joyful inquiry into the self, working with the energies of the body, and ritual give us the ability to live fearlessly and fully.
MettaKnowledge for Peace believes that peace is found through the cultivation of loving kindness, metta, for ourselves and others. Come explore with me your spiritual calling and answer your longing for peace and healing!
