Healing Circles have been a tradition at Wainwright House for more than 15 years. The practice of healing circles dates back to 4000 BC and is found in many cultures and belief systems.   The Wainwright House Healing Circle group may use Reiki or other forms of energy healing as it is a self-directed group.  Circles start with 20 to 30 minutes of silent meditation, generally with music.  Then, names of people or beings who need healing are brought into the circle.  Finally, anyone present who asks for the help of the healing energy sits in the middle of the circle to enjoy the healing benefits.  The evening ends with conversation and sharing for those who care to talk about their experience.  Silence is always respected as well.   The practice may be appropriate for some children with adult supervision.  The group starts July 6, 2011 and meets the first and third Wednesday of each month at 7 pm.

Chairs and some cushions will be available.  If you have a sitting cushion, please bring it. Wear comfortable clothing and please do not wear fragrances.
