            Having 
              grown up in southern USA, Virginia challenged traditional beliefs 
              to heal her sense of personal power, sexuality, and authenticity. 
              Her healing tells of a return to wholeness and inner beauty. Through 
              therapy, writing, psychospiritual growth and community she found 
              joyful release from rape, depression, and addictions.  |

            Denise's 
              healing centers around relationships and her life's work. Her writing 
              and teaching in philosophy and spirituality were bridges to deeper 
              knowing through the upheavals of many changes including 
              divorce, relocation and the mystery of love. Astrology, mysticism, 
              nature and spiritual study support her ongoing healing. |

               Through 
                intensive retreats, emotional release, and the study of religious 
                and spiritual traditions, Jonah faced and found healing for depression 
                and sexual abuse. Therapy and experience with dreams, breath and 
                body work, stories, and community service resolved years of struggle 
                with beliefs about himself and evil.

               In 
                an intensive seminar Annmarie had a profound opening to old relationship 
                patterns. Her commitment to stay open brought loving resolution 
                with her mother and choice of partners. A powerful spiritual crisis 
                showed her how to trust her body experience and energy and led 
                to a new life as a bodyworker.
