Hi Dan, Thanks for your beautiful work! You are a major inspiration. I have shared your videos (Take these broken wings, and the Finland and Swedish approaches) with so many people. I know you get asked this a lot, but do you know of any personal healing and transformation centers, therapists or spiritual teachers in the USA that are not focused on medicating people, and focused on helping them live in a more healthy way; reducing depression, anxiety and intrusive thoughts. A place that utilizing diet, exercise, yoga, expressive arts, spiritual development and trauma release work, that are non-profit or not predominantly profit focused in the USA? There has to be some innovative work going on somewhere in this country, that may not be on the Internet but is happening due to someone\'s dedicated spiritual and personal development work. I would like to to work with them. I have many skills to offer. So if you know anything now, or you hear of anything in the future, please keep me in mind. I am a licensed mental health practitioner, who knows there are better alternatives than medication and am looking to join with others to offer a healing community or center. (I am currently in California, but willing to relocate for the right situation.) I don\'t know if you know this, but Esalen Institute was originally founded by Dick Price and Michael Murphy. Dick was from a wealthy family, studying at Harvard, when he became deeply depressed. He was hospitalized by his family against his will, and given all the \"top treatments\" of the day, \"electroshock therapy\" insulin shock therapy.\" etc. It was all so traumatizing and barbaric, that he swore he would create something different. They were doing some very radical approaches at Esalen in the beginning. That place has since become a lot more conservative and profit oriented. I know you have to deal with financing such a place, but as one of my mentors expressed it: \"money is a very important, secondary consideration.\" Celebrating the music in all our hearts! Blessings on Your Journey, Suzanne
