Wellness Clinic | Dignity and Power Now!

What a vibrant team of healers to get the great honor to serve and hold space with! Saturday's wellness clinic brought together reiki healers, massage therapists, ayurvedic practitioners, acupuncturists, card readers and meditators with communities in Lancaster impacted by police violence. I lead a workshop on movement, breathing, meditation and the healing arts. A mother brought her three children and shared how the ringing of the bell invoked memories of her own Buddhist mother attending temple. And so the bell was infused with all our elders and lineages. And when I asked what community resilience looks and feels like to them, they painted winding paths folding onto themselves in vivid colors, the cleansing flow of rivers, and hands held under a sunset gradient. We closed our circle with a weather check-out and folks shared how their previous stormy or cloudy or windy internal weather conditions were now met with slivers of sunlight, with some steadiness and calm. DPN's Wellness Clinic was a rare moment when giver and receiver blended into One.  I felt uplifted, not depleted, by caring for and with and cultivating more compassionate hearts for the thriving of us all.
