Dear Friends and Comrades,
2020 / 2021 has certainly spoken loud and clear and as we know from the energy on the planet and all of its manifestations, the time for everything is now. We, as a people and as fellow travelers on this journey, aligning and arming ourselves with those elements that keep us in harmony and balance is absolutely key!
That said, I have attached an invitation for you to consider what harnessing the energy and benefits of the NADA protocol might bring. It is a tool that will enable each of you to extend your healing skills and I believe as healers, prepare you for the challenges before us all.
I look forward to sharing NADA with you and watching the magic you co-create as you bring healing and transformation to the communities you touch and serve.
– Julia Bennett
