The Tapping Solution Blog: An Evening of Healing and Transformation

Newtown Healing and Transformation Event Two weeks ago, I held a free event here in my hometown of Newtown, Connecticut: “An Evening of Healing and Transformation”.

You might know that Newtown was the site of the Sandy Hook school shootings back in 2012, and what prompted us to form The Tapping Solution Foundation in order to provide stress and trauma relief to the local community.

In a beautiful local theatre that seats 500 people (where I used to watch $2 movies when I was growing up!), we gathered to talk, tap, and find ways to heal.

I've been trying to write about the evening to tell you about what happened, but some experiences are so complex, so full of mystical meaning and hope, that they’re hard to put into words.

So I’ll just say this...

It was magical. It was healing. It filled me with the knowing that within darkness, light ALWAYS shines.

Here are a few pictures from that night...
