Personal Evolution + Planetary Revolution
When you allow your body to heal itself, it’s a powerful step towards personal evolution. But when we gather together in focused meditation, with the intention of healing yourself and the planet? That’s a revolution.
Join us for a powerful series of monthly sessions, or drop-in when you can. Live in Toronto, Canada, or via Livestream channel from anywhere in the world (see details below).
This is the fantastic and collaborative way (and no deep disclosures necessary!…promise.) to get a personally guided experience of healing with my medicinal-meets-meaningful perspective for a fraction of the cost of a 1-on-1 session with me—bonus is getting shared mojo from a group of keen and conscious individuals with a series of guided meditations for group healing, and ample space for curiosity, shared acumen and Q&A.
We’ll settle in. We’ll set our intention. Address both light + shadow sides with realism + respect. And together, we’ll question our long-standing biases + knee-jerk reactions, cultivate greater sensitivity, and send powerful forcefields (yeah, I said forcefields) of healing energy, into the world.
And just so you know…the feedback and results have been electrifying; it’s surprised even me. What started out as ‘just a hunch’ over a year ago has become something that has truly exceeded my expectations and set off integration, connection and empowerment that I never could have expected. Simple. Profound. Personal. And, gives back. Just the way I like it. Check out a few snippets of buzz here (and catch more on the site…):
…I was in complete awe of our powerful collective experience. The synergies of the group experience allowed me to go deeper into surrender and connection with all that is in an easy way, guided by you and your loving wisdom. -Nancy Mills
…2 hours was perfect time. Style was simple yet profound. Pace was just perfect. Price was a bargain. I’d love to have the meditation available for purchase so we can do on our own…I felt lighter and more relaxed after the session. – KC
…I loved it…I wouldn’t change a thing. I felt very spacey the last few days, but not in a bad way. I feel a big change on the horizon…I feel a lightness, and any fears that come up I am able to just let them go. (for a change…). I would (and have) told quite a few people about this and I would definitely attend the next ones! – JG
…I felt my stones dissolve…my lesions clear…I felt something clear and move out from my lymph nodes… -GT, LJ, and ML
…I have attended three of your group healing sessions, and each of them left me with new insight to myself. They also left me feeling very connected to the others present. The power of the collected group becomes palpable. When you lead us through the opening of our heart energy the room is awash with ‘aha’ moments…I am deeply thankful for this opportunity each time. – LS
Rally your people. Spread the word. And I’ll see you there.

This practice has been my passion and my life for the last decade…and well, it’s time to announce some exciting changes around here.
In January 2012 I will be launching a series of Clinic Workshop Sessions that will help you learn how to listen and heed messages from your own body (and soul), and will also be offering a Practitioner’s Mentoring Circle to support fellow healers. I am restructuring my practice and will still be offering a limited number of Private Healing Sessions but will be focusing more on deep, transformative work (rather than on general practice), and on doing more group healing work. I am making this shift so that you can get the best out of me, and so I can spend more time writing, speaking and teaching.
Please explore the new offerings, by clicking on the following links:
1. Clinic Workshop Sessions
2. Practitioner’s Mentoring Circle
3. Private Sessions with Dr. Chung
I am feeling exhilarated and recharged by these upcoming changes, and look forward to continue, to grow, learn and share together.
You are welcome to e-mail Melanie at info@drdianechung.com with your questions and comments. I will be aware of all correspondence and will respond as I am able.
A note to all of you who live outside of the Toronto area, to look out! Online programs should be available in the Fall of 2012.
Please note that the absolute best way to get the very latest practice news and to stay in touch is to join our mailing list right here on the site (do ya see that big orange box in the upper right corner? Yes!)
With warmth and blessings for a fantastic 2012,
Diane

New Fee Structure and Timing Policies
I do my best work when immersed in dense, deep, strategically practical hour blocks. The fee schedule as of Jan 1, 2012 will be $500 + taxes per session. With rare exceptions, all appointments will be scheduled for an hour.
To clarify, it is no longer an hourly rate, it is a rate per session. We allocate a full hour for your visit and my intention is to provide you with skilled expertise and results rather than a session based on time spent. This may mean we are done before an hour has elapsed, but that you have gotten all you need from the session. I no longer offer shorter (15, 30 minute) session blocks because my focus is shifting to deeper, more transformative work that emphasizes multi-level healing.
5% of all sessions will continue to be donated to Free the Children, Nature Doctors International and Women for Women.

Clinic Workshop Sessions are designed to give you the fundamentals of the integrated mind-body-soul concept and the basics of listening to your body, interpreting its signals, and discerning the best way to start healing yourself.
These will be taught in my regular, down to earth, real-deal, (ok…occasionally giggly) and spiritually matter-of-fact style. They will be informative, interactive, fun and hopefully—life changing. We aren’t looking to diagnose cancer or cure your chronic diseases overnight but rather my intention is to give you a basic understanding, experience and comfort with the fact that your body can be your useful ally, that you can be proactive in preventing and treating minor symptoms and irritations, and feel more empowered in your health and healing process.

I have developed a Practitioner’s Mentoring Circle to support the growth and development of colleagues and fellow healers. My intention is also to cultivate a peer group of trusted practitioners and form a circle of services to which I can reliably refer. [Note that this means that this Circle could include healers, seekers, creatives and entrepreneurs that are energetically and spiritually inclined.]
The Mentoring Circle is a 6 month commitment that will be limited to 12 participants. I will be providing information, insight and mentorship to shift patterns, pull you out of uncertain ground, challenge your perceived limitations and make your practice more fulfilling. Basically this is healing for your practice, for healing the healers. I have provided a tentative schedule of topics but this will also to be shaped by you—the participants—based on your wants, needs, goals, struggles and burning questions. Yes. You can ask me, anything.
