The heartbeat of our program.
The Healing Table is a writing and sharing program created with love by our founder, Dana Holcomb, and an essential part of every Patrick’s Foundation home. Throughout the week, residents write about meaningful topics, including the hard things. Each person chooses a writing to share at the weekly group.
We gather in a dedicated space with clear agreements about confidentiality and listening. While someone shares, there is no crosstalk, touching, correcting, advising, or judging. We simply listen, giving each person the opportunity to be heard. We close with a reflection on what moved us or spoke to our hearts.
“The minute you start talking about it, it gets easier.”
Dana Holcomb
Founder & CEO, Patrick’s Foundation
