Creative expression, breathing techniques and meditation practices stimulate healthy immune system – a person’s best chance in fighting chronic diseases and stress. We believe in healing the entire human being - body, mind, and spirit.

Mindful Breathing

Changing the breath can significantly alter the way we feel. Learn breathing techniques to reduce stress and anxiety.

Contagious Healing

Friendship is a source of joy.  Humans need each other; that’s why we work in small groups.

Testimonials

I recommend Healing Icons® to other cancer survivors as it has helped me reflect on my cancer journey, something I did not have the energy to do while I was in treatment. Having examined my feelings and fears, my hopes and dreams, I now stand strong in who I have become.”

- I.S.

Surprised by the mysterious image I created, I sat with it, letting the colors and symbols direct me. I allowed myself the chance to reflect on my feelings and emotions, something I did not permit myself to do while I was undergoing treatment. Reaching deep within to find meaning and seek understanding about my life, I am now at peace.”

- E.M.

I gaze into a sea of sadness, tired and unsure of my future but trying to live for today. Creating art soothes my spirit and I am held in this sacred art studio.”

- H. Mc.D.

My cancer diagnosis has left me feeling shocked – emotionally, physically and financially drained. Healing Icons® has provided a creative, sacred space for me to begin to understand this arduous journey.”

- J.R.

Deep personal connections are created within a nurturing community

Learning from Each Other
“These art and healing classes provided me with much needed support and enjoyment. Fellowship came through our learning that art has healing powers. We all realized we were just as afraid of art as we were of our cancer! All that changed very quickly!” DM

Healing

The creative process is introduced as a means of confronting fear

Dedicated Encouragement
“Heidi’s knowledge and encouragement were tremendous. The opportunity to express my inner thoughts and feelings in the accompaniment of others experiencing a life-threatening condition was incredibly encouraging as well as healing. While working on the art project people feel relaxed, comfortable to talk and share feelings instead of just sitting in a circle waiting for the next person to talk like a traditional support group. In these classes, there is room for silence and it never seems awkward.” CP
