Inner Fire is a proactive healing community offering a choice for adults to recover from debilitating and traumatic life challenges with minimal use of mind-altering, psychotropic medications. We are not anti-medication but rather, we believe in the power of choice to find inner balance and healing without the challenging side effects of psychotropic medications. With the help of medical practitioners and insightful, loving guides, we assist people who want to avoid medications all together or who long to carefully taper to a satisfactory level or who need support while dealing with the horrendous withdrawal symptoms of their psychotropic drugs.
Description
Inner Fire grew out of the personal and professional experience of Beatrice Birch and James Taggart. The spiritual and practical foundation of the Inner Fire program is the culmination of Beatrice Birch’s 35 years of experience as a leading practitioner of Hauschka Artistic Therapy; she has worked in Europe, USA and Taiwan in Anthroposophically inspired medical and therapy centers, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, training institutes, Waldorf Schools and Camphill Community Villages. Her artistic therapeutic and counselling work drew her to invaluable experiences within maximum and medium security prisons, inner city initiatives, residential facilities and her own private practice. James brought extensive administrative and operational experience to the founding of Inner Fire, having been the executive director of Spring Lake Ranch, one of the oldest residential treatment centers in the nation.
