To help others transform, we must ourselves transform. To end suffering on this planet, we must connect to our own divine light.

Our trainings will transform you, so you can access your natural gifts and facilitate deep transformation in others.

The Institute for Healing and Awakening

We are dedicated to evolving global wellbeing by training light workers how to facilitate healthy transformation through example and practice.

We bring people like you, healers and seekers, into loving relationship with yourself and with Spirit. You learn how to stabilize in a place that is grounded in mindfulness — calm, clear, and spacious. From here, you can work from your innate confidence. That is what sets our practitioners apart.

A message from Guthrie Sayen.

“Prior to joining you, I had been in therapy for five years. I expected the program to be a meaningful learning experience with wonderful people—not something that would somatically change my sense of worthiness and belonging. I am deeply grateful for the mere possibility of feeling the way I now do. I call it embodied worthiness. I have a new somatic experience of wellbeing and a deeper level of resilience.”

— Irina Hearst, Healing Practitioner

Our deepest desire is to bring wellbeing to our hurting planet, to help end suffering in ourselves and others, and to bring the light of love to all.

Our trainings transform those who share our calling so they can help others heal and awaken.

We invite you to join our circle of learning and love.
