To help others transform, we must transform. To end suffering in others, we must end suffering in ourselves.
Our trainings support your healing and awakening. You gain access to your natural gifts as a practitioner. Your Presence creates the natural conditions for change.

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
