7 Week Series Monday morning (EDT) series for women:

special opportunity for healing and spiritual development

This is an opportunity to for deep healing and spiritual development. We are also building a spiritual community that will eventually open to meet in person after COVID is no longer a threat.

Lets’s support each other as we transform, creating inner gratitude and love while in the comfort and safety of our homes.  

Who are you? What is your purpose? These are the deep spiritual questions to meditate on, and as you heal and transform, to develop answers for your life on earth. 

May this challenging time be an opportunity to tune into these questions and prayers for peace, healing, and protection for all.

This powerful meditation using Heart Path Therapy®, was inspired by Debra’s personal healing, her spiritual teacher Maestro Manuel Rufino, and her training in Family Constellations, Totem Pole Process, and Energy Psychology.

9:30 AM09:30

Heart Path Therapy® Healing Workshop: Engage Your Soul’s Purpose

This workshop is an opportunity  to heal and make peace with your  inner emotional “wounds.”  We will create sacred space for you, your inner child,  and the wounds of you and your family of origin toward transforming them and creating loving, peaceful relations and purposeful living. 

Heart Path Therapy® is an approach that integrates facing the  aspects of yourself, corresponding with family and ancestral relations (as in Family Constellations) that were hurt and “cut off.”  We must make peace with all our inner parts and wounded ancestral beings to awaken to our true essence and inner spiritual guidance.  

On Saturday, December 14, from 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM (with a lunch break), we will engage in meditation and creative uses of Family Constellations to gain a heartfelt understanding of what went wrong so the healing compassion for ourselves and our relations develops. 

"A miracle is a shift in perception", says The Course of Miracles. Let’s gather to create and engage in a loving process that awakens your heart and finds your soul’s purpose.

Family Constellations was developed by Bert Hellinger during his observation of Zulu tribes. It is an effective way to transform what is holding you back so that you can live your life from your greatest potential. They uncover and dissolve the blockages affecting your relationships, finances, profession, and health so you are free to live the fulfilling life you were really meant to live.

Location: Golden Drum, 97 Green Street Apt G1Brooklyn, NY, 1122

Suggested donation: $150; $135 if registered by December 8th; no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Mother’s Day Weekend Special! Heart Path Therapy® and Family Constellations

Mother’s Day Weekend Special! Heart Path Therapy® and Family Constellations

Mother’s Day Weekend Special! Heart Path Therapy® and Family Constellations with Debra Franklin, LCSW-R

Please come to heal and make peace (in your heart) with the challenges you experience with your mother. This, in turn, will help your relationship to yourself and others, as any resentments or frustrations you feel with your parents will affect your self-esteem and relations.

On Saturday, May 11th, 9:30-6PM, we will engage in meditation and creative uses of Family Constellations to gain a heartfelt understanding of what went wrong so the healing compassion for that relationship deepens. It is recommended, though not required, to engage in the Friday night meditation to deepen the healing power on this day.

Family Constellations was developed by Bert Hellinger during his observation of Zulu tribes. It is an effective way to transform what is holding you back so that you can live your life from your greatest potential. They uncover and dissolve the blockages affecting your relationships, finances, profession, and health so you are free to live the fulfilling life you were really meant to live.

"A miracle is a shift in perception", says The Course of Miracles. That is exactly what begins to happen after Family Constellations. However, that is only the beginning.
