               Michael's 
                young wife's cancer and death initiated a challenging path of 
                healing as he came to accept his gayness, change careers, heal 
                his own cancer and return to school. After a heart attack, the 
                loneliness and depression he experienced deepened the intuition 
                and spirituality he now depends on to guide his life.

            After 
              her husband and father's deaths and unexplainable illness, Linda 
              faced a frightening unknown. By staying with the emptiness and moving 
              to the country she started to follow a quiet inner voice. Subtle 
              guidance through dreams, dancing, therapy and building a safe haven 
              opened Linda to healing.  |

              finds healing everywhere. As a woman who grew through abuse, divorce, 
              illness, depression and discrimination she found strength and healing 
              in standing up for herself and other women. Therapy, work and a 
              healing mission were potent tools. Music, writing, singing, and 
              acting all connect her to a presence of God.  |

                and mothering initiated Diana's healing into selfhood and came 
                into full form through sculpting. Therapy and mentors were potent 
                bridges of healing. A daily spiritual practice of writing, prayer 
                and reading over the past 12 years has opened her to the creative 
                richness of inner darkness.
