Sacred Acts of Healing: Writing the Transformation Story

In the Studio, my guest is STEPHANIE ALSTON-NERO, a poet-healer and certified energy medicine practitioner in private practice in Harlem and Stone Feather Retreat in the Catskill Mountains.

Our topic focuses on how to tap into our creative energy and how to channel it through our writing practice.

In her mission to relieve pain and suffering, she teaches EFT energy medicine to visiting nurses and hospice workers at VNS/NY. She also facilitates ongoing healing workshops nationally and abroad and is a member of Sisters of Honua, a global circle of healers and WisdomKeepers of many traditions.

She studied shamanism with Malidoma Patrice Somé, Ph.D., elder shaman and author of The Healing Wisdom of Africa and Of Water and the Spirit. He has written: “Stephanie is a descendant of shamanic power, grounded in the very countenance where ancestral medicine started. She is healing the past to stabilize the present and future with more light.”

She also received extensive shamanic training from Sandra Ingerman (Santa Fe). A performing poet who has written two books of poetry, Kiss Me on My Face of God and In Wild Violet Shrine (Evolutionary Girls Press, June ’09), her latest poetry DVD is Return to Beauty. Stephanie is at work on a new book, Sacred Acts of Healing: Transformation Stories from the Village of Harlem. Visit HealingHistory.googlepages.com.
