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.
