It's taken me a while to get involved in this thread, but I want to say that I have benefited from the Healing Circle as both a participant and a recipient. I have no scientific basis for belief in any healing power to be gained from groups like this, but faith does not depend on scientific proof. If something is proven, it is no longer a matter of faith, but fact. And just because something is not proven, that does not necessarily mean that it does not exist.

That being said, I do appreciate the privacy concerns that have been expressed here and I am interested in working with whatever sort of solution the people here can come up with. I am confident that some sort of structure will evolve that will be workable and will not be "in the face" of those who prefer not to be confronted with it.

And please, let's all remember that our goal is to help each other.
