Group Energy Healing Circle
2024-03-02 16:30 - 18:15 | Studio @ Common Street, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Group Energy Healing Circle
Join us in a potent space of shared healing where Spirit guides us to collectively metabolize old wounding, not through reliving pain, but through powerful energy shifts. Each session is unique, addressing concerns like releasing grief and fear seated deep in the body or enhancing our energetic tools to help ourselves and others.
Expect 45-60 minutes of profound transformation. Through guided meditation, we open to Spirit’s guidance, allowing Diana to channel Its gifts: the release of tension held in the body; upgrades to our energy systems; or simple, nourishing support.
The Healing
Diana channels Spirit’s wisdom, weaving Arenal Volcano energy, Jaguar energy, and blessings from the Archangels into transformative group healings, igniting a unique alchemy of release and empowerment within each participant.
Diana Phillips- is a gifted practitioner who has worked in the healing arts since 2004. In the last few years, Spirit has gifted her a unique set of healing energies to assist individuals and lineages.
What participants say about past group healings:
“Diana has created a beautiful space for people to come together and connect with one another. Through guided meditation, imagery, and Spirit, we are magically transformed by the intertwining tapestry of physical and spiritual communion. Diana freely shares her gifts of connection with Spirit and beautifully facilitates a safe, non-judgmental space for women. I am always in awe of the peace and renewal I feel at the end of each session. This is a MUST for those committed to healing and growth.”- Sara S
“Diana is an incredibly warm and kind person with really remarkable gifts that she so kindly shares within these healing groups. The energy she channels in these goddess sessions is extremely powerful and I can really feel the effects during and after the sessions. Diana’s groups are really for anyone who is seeking healing and growth, as you don’t have to be an expert meditator to participate. During the sessions, Diana channels the powerful energies she works with and then they do their thing while Diana shepherds us through it all with her breath and her words, and afterward, you feel great, it’s really quite magical. I highly recommend working with Diana and participating in one of her goddess healing circles! Both Diana and the work she does is absolutely wonderful.” M.L.
Refunds and exchanges: Refunds will be given with 48 hours notice of the event. If the event is canceled by the organizer, everyone will receive a refund.
