I believe that in the field of professional counseling, you can't have too much support, especially from others who can relate to your experiences. My idea is to have a monthly or bi-monthly group to get together as a sort of peer supervision. I don't want to completely decide at this point what the format of the group will be like. I would rather like to have that as a point of discussion at the first meeting. I am open to having a mixture of sit-down serious supervision sessions and also more …

I am passionate about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and the incredible benefits that can come from the simple act of tapping on specific points on the body while holding an intention for healing. It sometimes seems too good to be true yet, as a practitioner, I've seen too many successful results to doubt its power. I want to continue to spread and share this amazing technique with the Washington DC community. To that end, we will have weekly or bi-weekly meetups to tap together on a number …

We are an organization dedicated to learning and practicing Heart Chan meditation.  We do not only sit quietly and relax, because Chan is far beyond this.  We learn what mediation is about—its purpose, practice, and effects—through tradition-based practice. Chan (it’s the same word as “Zen” from Japanese) could be regarded as a philosophy about one's life from birth to death and all its ups and downs in between.  Through this philosophy, we could understand ourselves better.  Not many people un …
