Our Long-Term Vision
Our Long-Term vision is to become a “hub” of resources and referrals for individuals and organizations seeking information regarding health and wellbeing. This will be accomplished by developing a process that begins with an in-depth assessment and consultation to adequately determine the needs of the individual or organization and direct them to the resources and referrals that will meet their needs.
By the time we launch our “hub” Waking From Slumber, Inc. will have created a database of pertinent interviews, and offered programs and events to the community creating a platform of resources which will be included in the hub library, eventually offered on the website.
In the meantime, while we create our library and assessment process we welcome you to listen to our interviews (for free) on the website and invite you to attend our programs and workshops.
If this seems to be of value to you, we welcome your donations – no amount too small – which will help us create and fulfill our vision in helping others.
