Description:
Beatrice Birch, co-founder of Inner Fire will discuss and unfold for us their unique mission and vision. Inner Fire is a proactive healing community offering striving individuals the choice to recover from debilitating and traumatic life challenges and strengthen themselves on a physical and deeper soul spiritual level while tapering off ( or to an appropriate level) of the mind-altering psychotropic medications.
The Inner Fire comprehensive program calls upon the three-fold human being of body, soul and spirit and cultivates the soul forces linked to the ability to think clearly and independently, to acknowledge heart-felt feelings and choose what to do with them, and to act with intention and discernment. Along with the development of this inner harmony comes the kindling of the divine creative Self, the Spirit, and the unfolding of a freer human being.
Founded in September 2015, Inner Fire has supported over 55 individuals to reclaim their lives.
“Inner Fire is a proactive, healing community in southern Vermont offering the choice to recover from debilitating and traumatic life experiences, which typically lead to addiction and mental/soul health challenges, while tapering slowly and carefully from their mind-altering psychotropic medications and strengthening themselves on a deeper soul spiritual level. We are not anti-medications but believe in the power of choice….”
“At Inner Fire, we meet each individual as a creative human being, acknowledging their body, soul and spirit. We recognize that life is complicated. We honor and admire this complexity and view it as the key to healing. Human beings are not machines. There are no magic bullets. Healing takes a respectful, loving and safe, supportive environment, time, and holistic therapies and approaches that address the root cause of one’s life challenges/opportunities. The Inner Fire program and land based Community serves the whole, striving human being.”

Brief bio:
Beatrice Birch, Inner Fire founder and Board President, has worked as a Hauschka Artistic therapist for more than 30 years in integrative clinics and inspiring initiatives in England, Holland and the USA where the whole human being of body, soul and spirit was recognized and embraced in the healing process. She has lectured and taught as far afield as Taiwan. Her passionate belief in both the creative spirit within everyone and the importance of choice, along with her love and interest in the human being has taken her also into prisons where she has volunteered for many years offering soul support through Alternatives to Violence work and watercolor painting.
Testimonial:
“Every time I’m there, I am in awe of the seekers and touched by how open they are to what Polly and I have to offer through color and eurythmy. We feel that what we have learned through anthroposophy is what they are hungry for. In conversation, either before the artwork or afterwards during a meal, I am struck again and again by how profound these seekers are.” ~ Jan Kees Saltet
