“Feel yourself being gently drawn by the
deeper pull of what you really love.”
Rumi
It seems that my life has been dictated by an inner drive to find what is real, what is worth really wanting and
in looking for ways to find it.
This path has taken me to colleges, meditation centers, work places and art studios. It has taken me to India & Turkey
and to my own back yard. It has taken
me here to this place and to the
offering of Healing Journeys.
I am grateful for the opportunity to
play a part
in a
person’s
healing and transformation.
It feels to be both a privilege
and a fulfillment of a heart’s desire.
Savarna has much experience in healing, counseling and teaching. Exploring Holistic Heath was an early interest. In the 1970s she began her study and practice of yoga and contemplative Christianity, took her first class in hypnotherapy, completed a Holistic Health training program and worked as a Holistic Health Educator and Massage Therapist.
Working with children who did not speak led her to appreciate the richness of non-verbal communication. Exploring their drawings opened the way to study the power of symbol and image to communicate. She developed a BA program in Art Therapy at University of California, Santa Cruz and in 1983 graduated with honors for her thesis and for her major.
A Masters degree in Transpersonal Psychology allowed her to study the workings of the mind and heart and explore ways people cope with challenge. Focusing on the Ways People Pray, she was one of the first to do graduate work in psychology on the subject of prayer and won honors in this study in 1988.
Twenty years experience working as a hospice chaplain has offered incredible lessons about death and life. Being a member of an Ethics Board for end-of-life issues and her on-going studies in inter-religious dialog continue to enrich perspectives on what is universal in the human experience. Savarna presents Partners in Caring workshops to clergy and faith leaders on end-of-life issues as well as offering support to hospice staff members.
The study and practice of hypnosis, NLP, Generative Trance, Dream work and other modes of working that acknowledge the importance of our sub conscious patterning has brought great fulfillment. “It is exciting to see the ways people change, the resiliency of spirit and the on-going affirmation that all the wisdom we need is inside.”
Savarna has been an instructor for Transpersonal Hypnotherapy School, The School of Hypnoenergetics ( Past Life Regression) and currently teaches a specialized form of hypnosis for The Newton Institute.
