Living From Grace is a two-year program that integrates traditional psychology with spirituality and in-depth healing practices. Developed by Donna Evans Strauss as a series of four-day workshops, four times a year, it explores a range of methodologies and co-creative processes for helping ourselves and our clients to transform our lives. Students will practice hands-on healing techniques as well as doing extensive course work.
The Living from Grace program is designed for people with established healing practices and anyone interested in growth and transformation. There aren’t any set pre-requisites: you are a good candidate if you have committed to your own healing journey. A tremendous amount of self-healing occurs during the course-and self-healing opens many doors to how we express our selves in our home and work lives. Some students will have healing work experience. Few people will have actual healing practices established. So you may want to use the information professionally in other ways-or just in your personal life.

Donna Evans Strauss is the founder of the Grace Touch Technique and the Living from Grace program. For 18 years, she taught, developed curriculum, and mentored students of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. She has a private practice in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, specializing in conscious parenting and holistic healing for addictions and trauma-related disorders. Donna has traveled throughout North America and to South America, Europe, and China to share her expertise through lectures, workshops, and private sessions. She has also served as a leader in Pathwork International, which provides transformative spiritual programs.

Donna is well known for her holistic approach to healing, working energetically with the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy bodies. She instructs and advises psychotherapists, psychologists, medical doctors, and body workers from around the world on the integration of the human energy field (HEF) with more traditional practices and psychological theories—such as Freudian, Bioenergetics, Humanistic, Cognitive and Family Therapy—to promote healthy, loving relationships. Her teachings on the spiritual journey of the family, human energy and consciousness, healing, and self-awareness are at the cutting edge of the human development movement.
