Testimonials

"I’ve met wonderful people through SeekHealing whom I’ve never been in the same room with, yet I feel no less compassion for them. That connection is real despite the physical distance. I live miles from other people, and I don’t get to leave my house much, but through SeekHealing, I can still connect. That has been tremendously helpful to me."

Anonymous Seeker

"SeekHealing has created a structure for relating that I really needed. It allows me to be in community without any associated trauma. To me, it seems to replicate the best aspects of living in a tribe. When one person is suffering, we all get to carry a little bit more weight together so that person -- that elder, that young Trans person, that mom who just had a baby, that person who just lost their lover and is grieving – isn’t alone."

Juda O

"In the SeekHealing community, I’ve found a place where I can "unzip" myself—this carefully curated, conditioned version of me that I thought I had to be for so long. SeekHealing allows me to just rest in my authenticity, and to have others do it with me. It’s a place where I feel deep love with other beings."

Gabby V

"When I go to SeekHealing, I find compassion. I can show up however I am and no one tries to change me, or make me sit still when I can’t, or tell me that everything’s going to be ok when that’s not true. The Connection Practice circles relieve me in a way that I actually feel heard, and feel like I can breathe and calm down."

Kelly R

"My participation SeekHealing has enabled me to witness and take part in incredible, observable, significant growth and change in other seekers. I now understand how we are a part of each others’ healing. At 78, I am now in incredible health. I take no medication. Connection is my medication."
