Please see article Inner Fire: Where Seekers Have a Choice posted on Mad in America’s site.
We seek deep and lasting healing through an intensive program that first stabilizes a person in crisis, gradually replaces medication with holistic healing practices, addresses the core issues precipitating soul pain and then develops skills for growing beyond these issues and becoming an enthusiastic and vital member of their community. Inner Fire offers an alternative approach:
-
- Responsible Medication Withdrawal
- Farm-based Work Therapy
- Complementary and Alternative Therapies
- Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes
- Mentoring, Peer and Life Coaching
The spiritual and practical foundation of the Inner Fire program is the culmination of Beatrice Birch’s 35 years of experience as a leading practitioner of Hauschka Artistic Therapy; she has worked in Europe, USA and Taiwan in Anthroposophically inspired medical and therapy centers, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, training institutes, Waldorf Schools and Camphill Community Villages. Her artistic therapeutic and counselling work drew her to invaluable experiences within maximum and medium security prisons, inner city initiatives, residential facilities and her own private practice.
