Jesus introduced healing to his followers as a demonstration that the Kingdom of God was at hand. He taught his followers to heal and that God was the source of all healing. He expected his disciples to practice healing as part of the Good News they shared with others.

 

Through a five-day intensive retreat, participants are taught to develop their own latent, God-given healing ability, to focus attention in a very concentrated way and to access their own prayerful inner imagery. The imagery process serves as a metaphorical bridge between the ill person, the healer and God. This process works to accelerate the God-given self-repair mechanisms that are part of the human healing system.

 

The training is divided into two parts. Part One consists of participating in Holy Silence and learning and practicing meditative/contemplative exercises. Part Two is the practice of healing prayer with one another through imagery and the laying on of hands. Each person receives healing prayer.
