Traditions, Rituals, and Connections For Healers
Rather than a static and backwards looking notion of an “archive,” the Archive of Healing will be responsive by allowing users to flag data, comment on the search results, and provide their own contributions to the data. In time, users will be able to connect with healers both locally and across the globe to deepen their relations.
Users who sign-up as healers (regardless of your modalities and traditions) can view data specifically curated for advanced users. Be sure to act ethically in your practices. We share the contents for informational purposes only.
Daily Healing For Everyone
For many of us not trained in the medical profession or not raised by healers, we wonder if our only option remains an allopathic (“Western”) approach to healing, which is object-orientated (pharmaceuticals, technologically driven) and structured by historical injustices against women and people of color. The Archive of Healing™ not only draws from a large database collected over many years at UCLA, but accepts new submissions, all while working to protect the information from corporate resource extraction.
In other words, we are attuned to matters of intellectual and cultural heritage. We aim to embody a model of collaboration where profits are returned to communities in need. Please read Our Theories, under About, to learn more. Flower images from thegraphicsfairy.com.
