The Healing Den

Realizing Your Full Healing Presence

WELCOME


The Healing Den program is an energetic, existential experience designed to bring spiritual explorers together to create sacred space, sacred objects and to learn to be a healing presence. We invite spiritual seekers from all walks of life to deepen their own presence, and join a community of like-minded individuals seeking to take their spiritual practice further.


The name "Healing Den" is inspired from the concept of a den as a safe space from which many animals develop, grow into adults, raise their children, and seek protection from the outside world. The Healing Den is a sacred space of learning where spiritual practitioners will be supported to develop and mature the understanding of how to bring forth their healing presence.

Presence

Presence is the essence of being. Being present and presence means what is with us-- the essential nature-- the presence of what is present. It grows or expands as self-awareness and the capacity to stay energetically connected in the moment is maintained. Presence is diminished by a sense of vulnerability often experienced as feeling exposed, leading one to energetic disconnect from the moment, person, situation. If we understand what goes on in the present moment and how best to engage it, we may discover new resources for bridging day-to-day life with being more present.

 

The Healing Den is the perfect place to learn how to be more present. We offer a variety of presence-based meditation practices that will help you recognize when drifting away and return to presence, ground yourself from an energetic perspective, and develop an ability to hold a deeper presence with others one-on-one and in a group setting.

 Energetic Awareness

We recognize the energetic as one layer of an experience within the common emotional, mental and physical levels that can inform the experience and can be acted upon. Some people are curious about energy and would like to sensitize more to it. Many others have a sensitivity to or awareness of energy, but need support to make sense of their experiences, or to take their skills to a more advanced level.


In this program, we support an increased understanding of the experience of energy. Through meditation, individual and group exercises, we not only help you cultivate the ability to sense, experience and hold energy while maintaining presence, but we teach how to recognize and respect energetic boundaries to support the safety of the experience for everyone.

Healing Containers

There is a strong focus in this program on practices for initiating and holding a safe space in a general sense and for the purpose of energy healing. Safety is grounded in the teaching of the principals of how to do and be with, versus doing onto another. Healing containers form individually, one-on-one, and in connecting a healing field with others to enter into a liminal, transformative space. Liminal space is often referred to as transitional space or the space between when the magic of presence enables a shift in our experience of who we are.


In our classes, practitioners can share their skills and knowledge with others in order to help everyone grow and improve their abilities. This community offers a supportive environment where people can come to heal and be healed.


New Understanding of Healing

The Healing Den teaches that time is a place, and nothing happens or heals except here and now in the present moment. In the present moment, there need not be any emotional release, only an energetic release, even though emotional relief is often expressed.


We teach that the frozen or unfinished moments in time are time crystals. We demonstrate how to work with and release/reintegrate these frozen moments in our experience that cause a disconnection from ourselves or others. We learn how to release the traumatic energies or to complete the unfinished moments that then shift old patterns of thinking, doing and being, all while we learn how to support others to do the same. You will gain resources to find the internal capacity and external capability needed to face various challenges presented in life.


This program is highly individualized, in the sense that, no two classes are exactly alike. Each class is tailored based on where the participants are at and what emerges on the day. The mastery required to step past a formula or method is cultivated in this work. What you will gain is not a set of techniques, but rather a deeper awareness and ability to dynamically respond to circumstances as they arise.

PEOPLE


Herb Stevenson

I am Herb Stevenson, aka One White Horse Standing. I bridge the worlds of business and spiritual healing. I am an author, trainer, and management consultant. I have published 26 books on various aspects of banking and business. I am on the faculty of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, where I teach in both the clinical and the organizational centers. As part of my effort to reclaim my Native American Indian heritage (Shawnee and Cherokee), I have spent the last 30 years exploring, developing and teaching skills in indigenous healing practices. I provide workshops around the country upon request.


Over the course of the last 15+ years, I’ve been asked to teach more hands-on practical classes in healing work, and have at last agreed to do so. The desire has been for others to learn more about how to expand one’s healing presence

through


  • the use of one’s own energy field, 
  • rocks, crystals, and other materials to raise energy fields, 
  • creating sacred space through altars, circles, and prayers/intentions, 
  • creating healing tools as extensions of one’s self, 
  • and many other ideas, I cannot remember.


What seems foremost is that the timing for establishing this program seems appropriate to the present world we live in. We need more people owning and being their healing presence.


I trust who is supposed to attend these classes will be there. I do so without attachment to past relations and teachings.

Advanced classes serve to deepen and expand the teachings from the basic intensives, and are typically offered twice per year. The topics vary based on learning objectives that advance the evolution of the healing den experiential and theoretical knowledge.
