How can a community help people to heal? If some environments are more conducive to healing than others, surely the people, and how they interact with and treat each other, are a major part of that.

Since it is fear that caused the separation between ourselves and our Divine nature, it seems to make sense that we must feel safe in order to let go of that fear, in order to reconnect.

This is a personal and individualized topic. Obviously, what is safe to one person may not be to another, and the same with feelings of un- safety.

Also, our disconnections occur at different times in our life, when we have different needs and therefore different requirements in order to feel safe.

The earlier the separation in question, the greater the need for safety for healing to occur, and the more elaborate, for lack of a better word, the details of what is needed for a feeling of safety.

I would like to could call a 'healing community' a community that helps people to heal. A community of healers is not necessarily a healing community, hence the need for this distinction.

I believe that a commonality of understanding and beliefs about healing, and using the community practices I've listed, provide a potential framework to create environments that are more conducive to healing.
