“By healing essence, I mean an innate quality of completeness and the intuitive capacity to continuously monitor, choose and move through life towards authenticity and wholeness with grace. Our ongoing source of integrity and well-being only needs to be released from deforming pressures and assumptions—allowing it to retain its rightful place in centering and guiding our life journey.” JoEllen Koerner

Re-Membering the Essence of Nursing & Healing Gatherings: foster a commitment to oneSelf--and others--to mature towards living an authentic life of balance and wholeness. By cultivating their inner landscape, people reconnect with their own values and truths and the call which brought them to the profession. They become re-connected to the qualities that give meaning, direction and wholeness to life.

Healing Essence principles inform and renew individual, professional and organizational health. Renewed healers recommit to their mission and calling, rooted in the knowing that every person has inherent worth and healing potential within. Such intention helps people served move beyond curing, to the process of healing in their own illness journey.
