Global Healing One Heart At A Time

<p align="center"><em>At the heart of every act of violence, </em></p> <p align="center"><em>Whether in the home, community or nation;</em></p> <p align="center"><em>&nbsp;In the church, synagogue or mosque; </em></p> <p align="center"><em>Or against any other living being in God&rsquo;s Creation, </em></p> <p align="center"><em>There are wounded relationships which need healing, wholeness and love<strong>.</strong></em></p> <p align="center">Akivah Northern</p> <p><strong><em>A</em></strong><strong><em>bout this Campaign</em></strong></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 7.5pt;">Hi my name is Akivah and I want to open Seven Sanctuaries of Healing all around the world. So last year I traveled and ministered on many continents visiting Dublin, London, Paris, Milano, Barcelona, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Lagos and Puerta Vuerta preaching, teaching and counseling. In my travels I encountered thousands of people with diverse backgrounds and ages and engaged in hundreds of private conversations with people. Those privileged encounters gave me a window into the hearts of many and I want to share some of what I heard around the world with you.</span></p> <p><span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 7.5pt;">Sadly, I heard stories of pain, sorrow, abuse, rape, and struggle and found that many stemmed from traumas in core relationships - mother/daughter, father/son and husband/wife issues. However, despite the abuses I found people with so much resilience, fortitude, faith, hope, and who still desired to be in loving relationships. I think institutions that help strengthen the bonds in core relationships will contribute enormously to healing the world and will be in demand in it. I believe one way to help people is to offer to guide them to the well of the abounding love of God. That is why I founded Global Affiliates for Loving and Living at the Well or <em><span><span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">globalALLWELL.</span></span></em></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 7.5pt;">Today I want to open the first such healing center called Margaret's House of Joy in memory of my late mother, Margaret Dixon. This healing center will help women strengthen their bonds and celebrate their victories. In some cities there are many retreat centers however in West Hempstead, NY where my mother's home is there are none! Help us reach one heart at a time at the </span>First Sacred Sanctuary for Global Healing. If 150 people give $1000 we can!&nbsp; If 1500 people give $100 we can! If one person gives it all we can!&nbsp; If even one heart is touched it will be worth it!&nbsp; Thank you for giving.</p> <p><strong><em>Brief Bio</em></strong></p> <p>Akivah Northern, M.Div.&nbsp;is an international speaker, global educator and radio host who brings a unique blend of educational, research and professional expertise to her Ministry of Healing.
