The Preservation of Healing
There is a synergistic relationship at work right here in New Orleans on the other side of town, with an eclectic and vibrant glow not unlike the Magazine Street neighborhood from 25 years ago, when it was also in the abandoned, underutilized state that St. Claude is today.
The New Orleans Healing Center Open House provided a sneak peak of their vision today, demonstrating firsthand that rebuilding in a holistic manner will not only empower a community, but also enhance the intellectual, emotional, cultural, social and spiritual quality of life, tending to the mind, body, and environmental health of the resilient citizens of New Orleans. The energy resembled that of the Energizer Bunny, with the crowd still engaged in all corners, even after their 10a-1p time frame.
