Lamplighter’s Society: A 9 Session Series
You’ve been lost wandering in the woods, and through the trees you see a lantern glowing through the trees, a lantern calling you close and guiding your way. It is more than a relief, it is a beacon of hope. This 9 session series is designed as a way haven, a roadside inn, a refuge for those on their healing journey.
This is not simply a course of study or more notes to take. Inside a supportive group container that informs and guides, you will put knowledge into action. And you will light the lanterns for other who may yet follow on the path. Many of us, especially those of us with chronic, autoimmune or mystery illness know that making the simple, basic changes in day to day life necessary for healing is hard. We can’t do it alone. We shouldn’t have to do it alone. And we certainly shouldn’t have to fight so gosh-darn hard against the ever growing tide of ultra-processed food, toxic chemicals, disconnected medical specialists, social media nonsense and global trauma in order to do it.
Within an over-culture that is actively making us sick and thwarting our efforts of recovery at every turn, the act of true healing becomes a radical act of resistance.
This is not simply a support group, it is a Healing Group.
Together we will LEARN, GROW, and EVOLVE.
Each 90 min meeting will provide:
a friendly supportive community container for learning, conversation and personal growth
specific medical/science/biochemistry information about the health topic at hand
An emphasis on WHY it is important
Space for discussion on practical implementation, common challenges, pitfalls, strategies and comparing notes
A curated environment (bubble, oasis) within the F’dup over-culture that is making us sick
Options for homework, courageous vulnerability, group support and celebration
Handouts and resources to take home or follow up
Intentions and Goals
… to help you actually IMPLEMENT the daily habits necessary to improve your health
… to support positive change through clear information and community
