Dear Friends,
I’ve recently returned from my final travel work for the year. I taught in 7 states to 14 groups. It’s been a wonderful time of teaching healing from trauma, avoiding burnout for caregivers, and updates on American torture and the Quaker work to end it.
This is my 30th year of traveling and teaching as a Certified Massage Therapist specializing in trauma and a Quaker healer with a gift for releasing pain. It’s been a great ride of hands-on work, teaching, and learning more. I began working in the rape crisis. Women with sexual hurt constitute the largest group of wounded on the planet. Then I began work in the AIDS pandemic. Work in prisons and with tortured refugees followed. I’ve continued with each group by invitation all this time.
Your gifts and donations have made all this possible over 30 years. Imagine being able to say yes to work because support will come and the needy don’t have to pay. This is a great freedom. I need your help to continue. There is much good that needs doing and I am ready for more. Your help is important, especially now in these economic times. You will understand I am at some risk but going on. Please send a gift.
A small miracle has occurred- an editor has come forward to take all my writings and speeches and create a book. We hope to be published in 2013. I’ll send notice, but keep watch this summer. Much work has been done both Spring and Fall for this.
Some of my teaching can be heard via pod cast here –

Please send a gift and help me to stay on the road in 2013 and beyond. I am very grateful for your every consideration.
In the Light,
John Calvi
