At Spiritdome Healing Arts we believe that healing is a work of art.
Just as a work of art is a natural, creative, spontaneous process which is alive and changing every moment, so is the human body. The human body includes, and is not separate from, the psyche (ψυχή- Greek, shen- Chinese). In other words, human nature includes the body, the mind and the spirit. In ancient medical traditions the world over this concept is an integral part of the understanding of etiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of disease. This concept is a vital part of the potential to create a healing environment that is not ‘one size fits all’.
To that end we welcome you to a style of healing created to offer a variety of ancient and modern healing modalities adapted to your modern lifestyle. Therapeutic methods such as acupuncture, massage, yoga, qigong and sacred sexuality, each alone, have the ability to address imbalances of the mind, body and spirit in ways that help us remember our need for connection with nature. Combined they help practitioners and clients, together, to create and maintain a unique healing lifestyle for each person.
