Step into your Sovereignty
As humans we discern what is best for us by tuning into and connecting with our bodies, spirits, soul, and the deepest aspects of who we are, however, we are taught to deny this inner knowing when we are told that our emotions, thoughts, and the needs of our body are wrong.
Multifaceted Journeys is focused on helping members discover what they need, become actively engaged in the work of finding it, and to connect with fellow travelers and healers who can assist on the journey. We hope to help increase understanding and acknowledgment of complex trauma, multiplicity, and dissociative disorders as well as to honor the complexity of healing processes that are filled with twists and turns, times when it seems there’s no forward movement, slow going, and then sudden growth.
We draw on our clinical training, personal healing journey, and time spent in therapeutic communities to create opportunities for self-exploration that leads to inner wisdom and connecting with your authentic self(ves).
- Intuition
- Autonomy
- Courage
- Compassion
- Healing
Reconnect with your natural ability to discern for yourselves what path to take. Live from a place of authenticity and purpose.
You Don’t have to Do this Alone
The societal changes of the past few years have led to new challenges, profound losses, and ongoing traumatic stress. Many are on a new life trajectory, having come to a dead end on a path they were certain of. This can lead to a shift in world view, crisis of identity, or the loss of hope. When people get to the edge, where pain and life circumstances outweigh skills and resources, some fall off. However, crisis can be a catalyst of change, of finding support, and of creating profound and meaningful lives.
We Offer:
- Opportunities for Connection
- Building Community for Crisis Support
- New Approaches to Emotional Health
- Alternatives to traditional religious services
Crystals’ Experience

This gives her unique insight into the healing process. She uses a plethora of creative modalities including visual art, fiction writing, drama, and sand tray to help people access and express the deeper aspects of themselves.

More About Multifaceted Journeys
Multifaceted Journeys mission is to empower members to utilize their wisdom, achieve healing freedom, and live with authenticity and purpose, so that each of our courageous and complex journeys are deeply honored and respected in a more harmonious world.
We seek to help people live authentically from a place of authority and wisdom that comes from self-determination and personal responsibility. You are the ultimate authority on what is right for you, especially when it comes to things like mental health, emotional well-being, spiritual growth, and social connection and can determine for yourself what is best for you.
Gift Economy
Because Multifaceted Journeys is focused on community building, emotional acceptance, and personal autonomy and growth, rather than charging fees for our services and events we give them to members as a gift. This flows out of our passion to bring healing to the world and is an expression of gratitude for the blessings we’ve received from those who’ve contributed their time and energy to our own healing. There is however, a one time fee to join, after this we invite and give opportunities for members to choose for themselves whether or not to give a return gift. As a wounded healer we commit substantial time and money to our own growth and continued healing and each donation is received with great appreciation and honor.
