Please bring a journal, a yoga mat to lie on, a sleep mask or scarf to cover your eyes, a blanket or anything else to keep you cozy and a little something to place on the altar. A canvass board, and art supplies will be provided.&nbsp;This $65 event is held in collaboration with Devlin O'Malley Healing.

It is a story of resilience and survival and over coming the near impossible! It was written to help me heal, but with also the intent to help others through their challenges in their lives.
