We’re still here for you, just online.
Welcome to Healing Circles Langley! We’re so glad you’ve found us. We’re here as a safe place to explore the heart of healing and the art of wellness. Perhaps you’ve found us because life is hard right now–you’re grieving, living with an illness, in pain, or caring for others. Perhaps you’re here to take care of yourself through meditation or embodied practices. Or you might be here to enjoy the blessings of community–of laughter and meaningful conversation–during a time of social isolation.
Please check our calendar for an online circle that would best fit you right now.

For far too long many of us have been oblivious to our own unwitting participation in systemic racism, sometimes ignorant of our history and our privilege, and often blind to our subtle acts of exclusion. It is time for us white folks to step up – to stop relying on people of color to teach us about racism. It is our work to do. Come join us for inner healing work to unpack our collective grief, with small steps toward reparation in healing inequity and injustice. Mondays – November 30. December 7, 14, 21 4:00-5:30pm Please register in advance for this meeting here. Please commit to all four sessions. Hosted by Jeanne Strong- with questions, contact jeannerstrong@gmail.com If ever there was a time for working on our immunity, this would be it.
