The Healing Academy arouse out of the need for students wanting to use their calligraphic practice as a form of meditation and deeper self-awareness and healing. I felt it necessary to separate this practice from the calligraphy only practice as the mindset here is different and those wanting to work on themselves needed a safe space to be open, honest, and with like-minded individuals. All are welcome in this space. The objective here is not to write but to use the writing as a means to an end. That said, the practice of Breathing and how it is tied to the Writing provides the ground for truly mastering the craft of calligraphy.
