Open your heart to the experience of inner healing. The reason why so many of us do not live in peace is because we are broken by and bound to emotional traumas of the past. We first see the world though the eyes of a little child, and that "inner child" remains with us throughout our lives, no matter how outwardly “grown-up” and powerful we become. If our vulnerable child was hurt, abandoned, shamed, or neglected, that child’s pain, grief, and anger live on within us.

These Inner healing workshops will show you how to transform past failures and negative experiences into positive stepping stones to living your life in wholeness and joy. Our capacity to receive the spirit of healing love is limited by our inner pain. Our challenge is to grow in our capacity to receive that Love.

The emotional and mental impairment that arises from denying our true self, controlling our environment and living in a state of hyper-vigilance, give rise to many maladaptive behaviors and states such as anxiety, depression and compulsive behaviors including all addiction. growing up in a dysfunctional or addictive family, being subjected to emotional, physical, verbal, or sexual abuse, repetitive or abusive criticism, abandonment or neglect, we learn to hide our real self.

Whether one is whole or broken the focus turns away from one's emotional condition to spiritual reality. The freedom to be oneself demands a will that is absolutely committed to doing the will of God. God's goal for us is wholeness. All we need to do is agree with God that we need and want to be whole. There is a blueprint for wholeness for each of us. Rev. Damian has worked with the late Ruth Carter Stapleton in inner healing workshops as well as studied with John Bradshaw. Through a step-by-step process of exploring the unfinished business of each developmental stage, we can break away from destructive family rules and roles and free ourselves to live responsibly in the present. Then, says Bradshaw, the healed inner child becomes a source of vitality, enabling us to find new joy and energy in living. Our Program facilitates your understanding of how you got to be the way you are and provides you with the tools and opportunities to transform yourself and your experience of life.
