- L A U R I E B L A K E L Y Healing Hands Healing Hands takes us on an intimate and uplifting journey examining the art of healing and the healing power of art. About the Art of Healing Hands These musings and personal stories are enhanced by images of the woodland and streams outside the artist’s home. And a sound healer contributes a calming, melodic soundscape. The sculptor/filmmaker, Laurie Blakely, collaborates with four non- traditional healers to explore questions about death, loss, gratitude, and joy. She creates colorful ceramic sculptures around the healers’ cast hands and asks them about their own healing journeys, how it feels when they are working with a client and how they view the healing process. The Importance of Local Healers Healing Hands is a contemplative film that explores the healing wisdom in the small rural community where the artist/filmmaker lives. The film emphasizes the importance of local healers with the belief that wise and helpful guidance can be found in almost every community. How can we care deeply about the world even though it leaves us vulnerable to grief and sadness? In Healing Hands , the healers gently guide us through topics including acceptance, humor, and love. The film creates a supportive space for each of us to contemplate our own personal journey toward greater well-being.
