 HEALING SUPPORT CIRCLES AND MORE. . .


After nearly two decades leading in-person classes/ and support groups I now provide monthly small group online Fibro Healing Support Circles. These Circles bring people together from various parts of the US and beyond to share with, learn from, and support each other in their healing journeys.
You can view two short videos of my 2018 conversations with Dr. Ginevra Liptan, medical director of the Frida Center for Fibromyalgia,  re my work supporting those living with fibromyalgia or other chronic conditions. See videos at www.youtube.com/drliptan 

 MORE ABOUT FIBROMYALGIA HEALING SUPPORT CIRCLES. . . 
---monthly facilitated small groups (4-6 people per Healing Support Circle) that meet online via Zoom
Enables easy participation from home. (you can attend in your pajamas if you want!)

Each two-hour format includes guided calming practices for the nervous system (eg., PAUSE, CALM, and REFOCUS) plus sharing re various healing topics. Beginning January 2020, we will also use the Healing Message cards that I created in 2019 to help apply healing attention to the needs of the heart, spirit, and mind (in addition to the body). Often the needs of our heart and mind are overlooked when our primary focus is on alleviating the distress felt in our bodies. In truth, all three aspects of our being need attention in order to function in harmony in support of our healing. The Healing Message cards also recommend simple ways to access the holistic "medicines" around us in everyday life such as humor, creativity, and interconnections with nature, and more. Incorporating these naturally occurring "medicines" can help the body experience a greater sense of safety plus provide inspiration for the mind and spirit so you can remember and reconnect with your wholeness .

It is a healing step itself to simply meet and share with others who truly understand your experience. Our group focus helps you identify what truly matters most to YOU now and to explore new possibilities so you can experience a full and meaningful life again.
If you are interested in joining one of the monthly Healing Circles then email me (Elaine) at eemerryfield@gmail.com and we will set a time to chat briefly via Zoom to determine if this feels like a fit for you.
