Groups and Classes

Educating ourselves is a crucial component of the healing process. In addition to its regular services, The Estuary also offers groups that are therapeutic in nature. Our groups are ongoing and designed for personal, individual work on various issues but within a group setting.

The School of Healing Arts is the educational branch of our organization and offers certification-oriented course work in four specific areas: a 3-year program in Auric Healing, a 3-year Kabbalah program, a 1-year Kabbalah program and Professional Integrated Energy Psychology for practicing clinicians (PIEP). In addition, The School of Healing Arts offers a variety of exploratory classes and workshops on topics such as boundaries, relationships and chronic illness.
