Who We Serve

Please help us continue to provide affordable integrative healing therapies, support, services and classes to:

• people seeking healing of mind, body and spirit and ovrall wellbeing who visit our center in Woodbury, MN

• the homeless, impoverished, and underserved across the Twin Cities, who benefit from our Outreach program, which provides free healing therapies and stress-reduction retreats

Outreach

Outreach is one of many services that we provide. Our efforts include collaboration with social service agencies, church organizations, and health care clinics. Current relationships exists with:

• St. Mary's Clinics within impoverished parish communities in the Twin Cities
• Healthcare for the Homeless at the Dorothy Day medical clinic in St. Paul
• Eagle's Nest, a women's domestic violence shelter in St. Paul
• The American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge in Minneapolis
• Woodwinds Health Care Campus in Woodbury
• Regions Hospital in St. Paul
• Guardian Angels Church in Oakdale
• First Presbyterian Church in South St. Paul

What people are saying

Recently a young man attending our outreach clinic for energy healing at the Dorothy Day medical clinic described his healing session, "I've never felt so much energy come from one person that wasn't anger."

And a young mother with an infant child said, "I now can go out and be happy with my baby."

For others, just having 45 minutes to rest without fear of abuse or having their personal items stolen, is a profound experience. The compassionate, healing presence that we bring into the Dorothy Day environment extends beyond the clients we serve by uplifting the whole community. This is a welcomed and appreciated energy, which is very different from the many typical encounters of the homeless.

At our recent "Becoming Well Within" outreach retreat at Holy Rosary Parish in Minneapolis, more than 50 women learned self-care strategies to reduce stress and improve their well-being. When asked to express their hopes for this retreat, several participants commented that they are looking forward to sharing these techniques with their family members and their community.
