Description
The Healing WELL offers a safe and loving community where people build relationships and learn skills so they can cope with the challenges and stress in their lives and step forward into brighter futures. Through courses like Meditation, Yoga, Storytelling, and Poetry, as well as daily 12-Step Substance Abuse Support Groups, participants recover and grow. With increased self-esteem and stronger relationships with other people and the broader neighborhood, participants experience greater stability and wellness in their lives. Joining with other community partners in the impoverished but richly diverse Tenderloin District, Healing WELL dedicates itself to building community, healing wounds, and promoting justice. A volunteer is needed to join the Healing WELL team in creating a beautiful, warm, and nurturing space where participants can experience the healing power of mindfulness and acquire tools for growth. The volunteer will help arrange and engage in regular programming, manage social media presence, provide accompaniment to people with varying skills and communication abilities, and help participants find resources to enhance their healing and wellbeing.
