Healing Arts Faire

     Our first Healing Arts Faire was on September 16th of last year at the Pine Grove Community Center in Manzanita.  It was a gathering of Healing Artists from our local area that was free to the public and donations were gratefully accepted if they interacted with any of our Healers during their visit. Most of our members were present who discussed the benefits and philosophies of  their own Healing Modality. Four tables for our Massage Theapists were set up in the back of the room and were busy all day long. The monies donated went to help a local community member pay for his expenses as he struggled with cancer. The evening session was devoted to Healing music of many types. A local African Drumming Troope, the Tsunami Drummers, shared their African Healing rhythms with the crowd. This year the Healing Arts Faire will be on September 25th, 2006. We hope you will be able to join us.

Healing Arts Speaker Series

     Following our first Healing Arts Faire, we started a Healing Arts Speaker Series where each of our local Healers took turns presenting their individual Healing Modality.  Presentations were on a Friday night, or Saturday or Sunday during the day. The presentations usually lasted from two to three hours. During this time,  the Healer talked about the specifics of their Healing Modality, how they became involved in it and some held a short workshop to demonstrate the general idea of the Healing Process. This year, the Speaker Series will be on Saturday nights for an hour and a half. It will consist of a talk explaining each person's Healing Modality followed by a time where individuals may sign up for a workshop the next day or individual appointments.

Healing Arts Brochure

     During the initial months that we were coming together as a group to share our interests in the many natural healing methods that are available, we decided to publish a brochure that listed our members and a brief explanation of their area of expertise. This was done for a number of different reasons. First was to give us a feeling of being unified as a group of individuals whose interests were to explore and share altenative ways of healing our bodies, our minds and our energies. Second was to make the people in the communities around us  aware of the many different ways that healing can be approached and practiced by the individual with the help  of our many professional practitioners. Last was to reach out beyond our communities to invite people to our wonderful coastal area to enjoy the exquisite environment, the many activities, the three villages, and to explore ways to create a happier, healthier lifestyle for themselves. The brochure can be seen by clicking on the above link and can also be printed.
