Frank is an artist, sculptor and geometrician who lives in San Francisco. He has taught
art for more than thirty years in high schools and colleges. Frank has been exploring the
relation between form and spirit. In 2000 he discovered a new geometric form never

Ways to Social Healing

Introductory Course 10/24 – 10/27

Methods for meditative work and spiritual schooling

While we tried our best at writing an introduction to this work (see: https://social-healing.org/books/), experience shows that it is really helpful to be introduced to the practices by experienced practitioners.

On this page, we will provide ways for you to get in touch if you’re interested in trying out methods like the Logic of the Heart for finding Inner Peace and your sense for truth, the Logic of the Will for finding just and harmonizing actions in the world, Image Dialogue Work for getting an in-depth understanding of life situations and karmic tasks, or Spiritual Dialogue Meditation which is a deepening of all the previous practices and gradually strengthens your connection to your Higher Self, unfolds your potential capacities, and connects you to your life mission or vocation, i.e. the conscious application of your capacities for the benefit of others.

More about the Basic Methods and & Preparation for Spiritual Awakening

You’re invited to a 3,5-day in-person workshop in San Rafael to experience an introduction to the Basic Methods of Social Healing.

Dates: 10/24 – 10/27

Times: 10:00 am – 7:00 pm PDT

Location: 108 Greenwood Ave, San Rafael, CA 94901
