60 minute session (in-person or guided): Take this opportunity for yourself (or someone you love!) to receive the deep benefits of a full 60-minute session with a certified Soul Lightening Acupressure practitioner.

Please consider donating one or more sessions to be sold as part of our December Self Care Retreat to help raise funds for SLI.  As you know, we traditionally have certified practitioners offer their skills at our in person conferences for a fee that goes directly to SLI, and we are hoping to do the same for this event.  You may choose to offer your session as a distance healing or in person, depending on your comfort level and that of the purchaser of your session.  We hope many such sessions will take place on Saturday, December 5th, in honor of the birthday of our dear founder, Dr. Aminah Raheem, but if other dates work better for you, that is fine too.  If you are willing, please email Beth Benham at deeppeace296@gmail.com to let her know how many sessions you are able to offer.  Many thanks!
