When I started working on this project in 2020, it was a time of extraordinary upheaval and fear across the world. I had trained as a reiki energy healer in 2016 and was also a certified life coach, but I had not expected to use these skills. In 2020 I realised I could help people overcome their anxiety and I immersed myself in the healing world, helping as many people as I could and learning as much as I could about energy healing. 

In 2019 I had been working with a group of women on an environmental project. This had folded but I had received a grant towards it from the Chicago Cultural Department  - which I offered to return. They asked me to keep it and pleaded with me to create an exhibition that would uplift the city and bring in positivity. I was on my own path of healing after being in a car accident in April 2017 that brought me very close to death. My journey to health had led me to meeting extraordinary people from all different healing modalities. It dawned on me that I could create a show about them and the miracles I was witnessing. 

The show evolved and I decided, within the interviews, to really take a deep dive into people’s soul and life purpose. Included in the show are people in service in some way to the world– whether it is to humans, the earth, animals or the environment, all of them woke up each day with a desire to give back. 

I felt that the show could highlight the nurturing qualities of those involved. I conducted interviews that were completely unscripted - my intention being to create a conversation that was straight from the heart. 

These stories have changed my life. I heard of ways to re-imagine how we live and think. Some of the deepest soul questions we have were answered – is there life after death? Who are we? What is our purpose? Can we heal? Do our thoughts have power? Do trees speak to each other – Yes!

Interestingly the stories began to weave together, each story linking in some indelible way into the next one. I heard stories of miracles, life after death, community, hope, healing and kindness. Some were simple, light and uplifting, others were so powerful it took me a few days to fully comprehend what they had told me. All were life affirming. 

This show made me realize that our potential is unlimited. We hope you enjoy these conversations as much as we at Energy have. 

Happy Listening!
