Supporting those who heal, lead, create for and inspire the collective.

Within this initiative we are focused on:

  • People in these roles are individual who are more often than not considered “healers,” (or closely connected). They are tasked with and recognized for being concerned with the development, health, protection, and sustenance of the collective on various levels—spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. Specific roles include. though are not limited to, the following:

    • Birth workers

    • Death workers

    • Educators,

    • Energy workers

    • Grief workers

    • First responders

    • Healthcare professionals and those in medicine

    • Law-enforcement agents

    • Spiritual, religious, and metaphysical practitioners

  • Across all mediums , including but not limited to:

    • Actors

    • Costume Designers

    • Directors

    • Hairstylists

    • Makeup Artists

    • Musicians

    • Visual artists

    • Producers

    Though these individuals are not always thought of as “healers” in the conventional sense, consider that (1) the work they do often provides therapeutic support; (2) there are those within these professions for whom “healing” is the primary directive, with the specific avenue being the profession itself; and (3) healer or not, the influence and impact they have is far reaching and often times more evident given the degree of attention focused on them. The more in alignment, balanced, grounded, at peace and in joy they are, the more they reflect these states within their creation for and interactions with the public.

  • Leaders across any sector including but not limited to…

    • Spiritual/religious leaders

    • Corporate/organizational leaders

    • Political leaders

    Though these individuals are not always thought of as “healers” in the conventional sense, as leaders, the influence and impact they have is far reaching and often times more evident given the authority we give them to make decisions that impact us on in virtually all areas of our lives. There are those within these roles for whom “healing” is the primary directive, with the specific avenue being the profession itself. The more in alignment, balanced, grounded, at peace and in joy they are, the more they reflect these energies within the decisions they make.

  • Because…

    …they need it.

    …they are touching the masses, who need it.

    …Felicia “Onyi” Richards (aka ONYI LOVE) relates with and belong to them. She knows/is them.

    • She is a healing practitioner.

    • She is an artist.

    • She takes on/is put in leadership positions.

    Onyi has a deep understanding of and compassion for what these individuals navigate doing the work they do for the collective, regardless of their level of visibility and perceived “success.”

    The term “Healer” is used loosely but not. Loosely in the sense that no one actually “heals” you: you heal yourself using another person (place’s or thing’s) reflection to trigger your bodies own natural healing reasons.

    Not loosely in the sense that (1) we believe there are individuals within these categories/professions/roles that came here to help the collective “heal” through their work; (2) the choices of these people provide powerful reflections and trigger for individuals within the collective that they can use to move themselves in what ever direction they chooses—closer to or way from positive or negative beliefs…pleasure and joy or pain and suffering.

    We have all been and are still in/coming out of a global pandemic. During these unprecedented (for us) times, these individuals have been constantly tapped/sought after/utilized in some way to provide their services, all the while ALL of us (including them) are navigating all the shifts, loss, upheaval, uncertainty, isolation, grief, and more. We have yet to fully process it all. And when that time comes, those individuals will be sought after to help us sooth ourselves.

    It is our intent through HEAL the HEALERS to show up for those individuals so they can continue/begin showing up for all of us with more integrity, grounding, clarity, peace and joy. All of our healing is interconnected.

Through profession-specific healing events and conversations, and in collaboration with individual/corporate sponsors aligned with this initiative, our intent is to provide “healers” with powerful opportunities for attending to their own healing. As they experience the support and care they need, they can more fully show up to serve the larger collective during these unprecedented times.
