Many people who live with, and sometimes struggle with, what are widely considered extraordinary perceptions and experiences, have found serenity, understanding, and enormous healing through spiritual understandings. Many of us have learned, over time, to embrace our extraordinary perceptions, allowing us to make peace with our experiences, with ourselves and others, and with the wider world, while some of us may still question and suffer from the various experiences we have gone through. 

This conversation group is intended as a safe learning and healing space, where we can share and explore with one another the ways in which our faith in something beyond ourselves and our practice has allowed us to find hope as we seek to find and reclaim our wholeness.-
