Together We Heal
I am committed to providing a welcoming environment that promotes and embodies diversity and inclusivity to all.
Giving a Little to Make a Big Impact
A great number of refugees and immigrants are escaping conflict every day with nowhere to go. With this in mind, and as an immigrant myself, I know that donating a little money can positively impact and empower the lives of our fellow brothers and sisters of the global community.
Thus, for the entire year of 2021, $4 of every individual session are going towards actively supporting our local community of immigrants and refugees who are fleeing from violent conflict or persecution in their countries; this means that every time I see a client for a counseling or coaching session, $2 will be donated to Refugee Services of Texas and the other $2 to Casa Marianella.

Refugee Services of Texas (RST) is a social-service agency dedicated to providing assistance to refugees and other displaced persons fleeing persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group - as well as to the communities that welcome them. RST welcomes refugees, immigrants, and other displaced peoples and supports them in integrating and thriving in their new communities. To learn more about the different services they provide go to: www.rstx.org. Casa Marianella is a nonprofit organization that welcomes displaced immigrants and promotes self-sufficiency by providing shelter and support services. To learn more go to: www.casamarianella.org

Past Community Events
Council Healing Circle
Sunday, September 8, 2019 at 2 PM - 4 PM at Unity Church of the Hills - Room 204 Unity Oaks
Inspired by Native American Councils, this listening circle invites us to go into our hearts for deep listening and deep sharing. It provides an opportunity to be known in ways that lead to a sense of belonging, support and meaning within the human race community.
The Council Healing Circle, led by Lina Návar, will consist of several rounds of sharing. Everyone will have an opportunity to share from the heart about their personal experience of what’s going on in the world today as well as to connect with their vision for a world that works for all.
Guidelines will be in place to ensure that the space is safe and life-giving. This is not a space for debate or cross-talk. It is truly a healing circle for sharing from the heart.
Lina was inspired to offer this Council following the recent mass shooting in El Paso. Having friends and family in El Paso, she experienced deep sadness and a need to do something that would bring people together. Join us!
