The Sacred Healing Ministry Program & Sacred Hands On Healing Program
This one year long training program is designed for graduates of a BPI style Clairvoyant Training Program who wish to continue on their spiritual path. The training includes 2 separate programs which can be combined for the full year, or taken independently of each other in separate sections. The first 8 months of training is in The Sacred Healing Ministry Program which focuses on the student becoming a Certified Minister. The last 4 months of training is in the Sacred Hands on Healing Program which focuses on expanding the student's healing skills to include Hands on Healing techniques. Both programs are designed to support the student in healing themselves while learning to heal others.
Sacred Healing Ministry Program
8 months The Sacred Healing Ministry Program is designed for graduates of a BPI style clairvoyant program who wish to continue their training to become a Minister. In this program, you will explore the nature of spirit as it relates to world healing traditions and religions such as Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, indigenous practices, and others. In the course of the 8 months of training the student will attend worship services, participate in creative exercises to guide the student into discovering his/hers own concept of faith and spirituality. This program is a requirement for the Spiritual Teacher's Training Program and most of the advanced training programs with Spirit is Calling. |
Sacred Hands on Healing Program
4 months The Sacred Hands On Healing Program continues the training in learning to heal the spirit with the laying on of hands to the body. This program focuses on both spiritual healing techniques, and Cranial Sacral/ hands on body healing techniques that combine seamlessly to provide a powerful healing process for both healer and healee. The training includes the ins and outs of creating a professional healing practice, both on a spiritual level in learning how to manage the energy, and on a business level in how to work with healees. Regular healing clinics support the student giving and receiving healing as they learn the new techniques. |
You can enroll in either program individually or both combined. Details about each program are provided below.
This entire program can be taken live & online from anywhere in the world!
Sacred Healing Ministries, 2017 Interfaith Ministry and Theology 101, Rev. Lauren Van Ham
Explore and expand your own image and understanding of the Divine. Become more familiar with the World’s religions and the wide variety of theologies held across the traditions of those you may serve. Consider and try new spiritual practices, to engage your own tradition in fresh ways. Attend services for faith traditions different from your own. Study Sacred Texts from several traditions and consider tools for possible interpretation and contemporary understanding. Using role play, consider how to provide meaningful support across multiple religious traditions. Learn about the sacred healing traditions within other religions. Create, write and perform interfaith rituals for weddings, memorials, blessings or healings. Develop, articulate and proclaim your own personal theological statement. This class will incorporate art, journaling and/or meditation, partner & group work. Please note: there are assignments and homework for this class.
February, 2017 SESSION ONE: Who / What is God? Images of the Divine
In Session One (Feb. 11th), participants will explore their earliest concepts and images of God (Mystery, Divinity). Drawing upon both found images and those from multiple faith traditions, we will consider how our image(s) of Divinity have changed or are changing, as we continue to grow along our spiritual path. Together, we will discuss how the Images we carry can help/hinder/otherwise in the work we do with and for others.
Assignment: Before the next class, you will visit 1-2 services at different spiritual centers/houses of worship. Lauren will provide some suggestions of several services and places of worship for a variety of Faiths. In preparation for class, reflect on the following and make some notes:
(over)
SESSION TWO: Theology 101: Themes Across Traditions
In Session Two, participants will briefly present what they have observed/learned so far from the spiritual center site visits. Then, we will investigate a Theology 101, “glossary of terms.” We will explore what these words mean and - using a broad brushstroke, examine the over-arching themes in multiple Faith Traditions, as well as some guiding principles to inform ministerial practices and spiritual care suggestions, when caring for individuals of other faiths.
Assignment(s):
1) Before the next class, you will visit 1-2 MORE services at different spiritual centers/houses of worship. Ideally, you will visit a center that corresponds for part two (below), to aid in your research. Please remember to reflect on the following and make some notes to share at our next class:
SESSION FOUR: Spiritual Care& Ministry in Practice – What Heals?
In Session Four, we will begin to explore spiritual care practice across Traditions by enacting several role plays designed for our collective practice and learning. What heals?
We will begin an initial study of ritual. What defines “ritual”? How does it work? Bring your ideas and experiences: What are your favorite rituals? What makes them effective? When you have you been part of a ritual that feels “flat," or lacks the spirit intended? We will consider Rites of Passage and prepare to write liturgies for ceremonies/rituals to share at our next session.
Assignment: Without concern for getting it “right,” create a ritual for the Rite of Passage you have chosen during class that you will present in June. This assignment is due June 10th. If you want me to review your ritual assignment beforehand, please email it to me lauren@laurenvanham.com no later than Friday, June 2nd. Thank you!

See what some of our students are saying ...
I did not expect this program to bring me to such a personal, private space. Prior to starting the program, I thought an interfaith psychic healing ministry would bring service through my healing practice. I don't feel like I've become an incredible healer of others in this program. What I got was the permission to create my life for me, by not healing others. - Laura G. (Berkeley) It was exciting and so rewarding to be part of a program that has both the clairvoyant reading and healing skills along with the hands on healing skills. Doing this program really assisted me in moving my spiritual practice to a much fuller experience and personal ownership of my abilities. - Diane F. (Vancouver B.C. - online) My absolute most favorite part of modules 1 & 2 was writing my personal theological statement. This was so helpful with enabling me to get clear on my personal theology and I am now better able to communicate it to others. I continue to update this document to this day. Trish M. (Navarre, Fl - online) I like the interfaith aspect, and I also like that there is room for us to explore our own spiritual path and to observe the different spiritual paths of others. Everyone "sees" God differently, and taking it outside of the Christian"perspective allows for much more room to explore our perception of God with no parameters. For example, I loved being able to explore Magic within a spiritual setting. I had never done that before. Magic is a way of working energy that I have always had affinity with since I was a young child. It was a relief to look at it and to talk about it. - Ryan E. (Sacramento, CA) |
Clairvoyantly reading sacred texts and calling back my past life information are tools I use frequently in my day to day life. And having the permission to look at how to create and play with new tools inspired by other traditions and the world around me is an incredible gift. I have some great information that allows me to create incredible experiences now, in this lifetime. For the rest of my life! - Laura G. (Berkeley) During the different modules I was able to explore my spiritual path in greater depth through the connection I have with the instructors and the other participants. Diane F. (Vancouver B.C. - online) The assignments and the clinics helped me to integrate and use what I was learning in a practical and fulfilling way. I had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It has gone by so quickly. A special thank you to Carmen, teacher extraordinaire. It was worth every minute! - Diane F. ( Vancouver B.C. - online) Thanks for creating this program. SHM was the answer to my mock-up for the program I was searching for. - Ryan E. (Sacramento, CA) 100% of students who responded to a 2013 survey about their experience said that they would recommend the Sacred Healing Ministry Program to their friends.
