Welcome to the Healing Bridge.

The call for individual and collective healing is more pronounced than ever. Yet how can one know, trust and embody genuine healing? It is a complex, universal question evoking unique, surprising answers for each of us.

As a therapist, educator and researcher for 30 years I am blessed to meet individuals who experience profound transformations. I hear the disorientation and loneliness they experience along with the recognition of a mystery revealing itself. This spiritual pulse opens them to the heart and soul of healing. Their innate wisdom comes alive. Their trust deepens. And they realize a renewed purpose—to contribute to the betterment of the world--in their own special ways.

We need to hear these stories to know we are not alone as we walk through our personal odysseys in these times of radical change. Thus the Healing Bridge Project was founded in 1998 to bring both an informed and heart centered voice to the nature and meaning of healing. Built on in-depth interviews individuals around the world share their inner journey of personal transformation. Each story is bolstered by carefully selected links and supportive, educational resources. And to be of greatest benefit we enlist the positive potential of the internet for global connection, dialogue and learning.

The Healing Bridge’s commitment to integrative health blends the personal with the social, the scientific and spiritual, the emotional and physical, and the creative with the factual. And through the integrity of our stories we bring a truer, wiser understanding to a reality of healing and the potential we all share.

I am so very grateful to serve as director of this contribution to integrative medicine. With the combined energy of our advisors and sponsors, service board, honored guests and you I trust we can build bridges of healing within and between.
