About the Course:

All of us are on a journey of becoming more like Christ; a journey of discovery - who we really are, what we've been called to. We're learning how to live out of the new heart Jesus gave us at conversion - how to believe, forgive, trust, love and live from a whole heart.


However, there can be a few bumps in the road. A few mountains, and more than a few valleys, disappointments and setbacks. Our hearts get bruised and broken and we're often tempted to self-protect along the way-or disconnect from our overwhelmed heart and go into the problem-solving areas of our brain to try to figure things out. We end up living our lives sometimes very efficiently and successfully, but often mechanically, with very little heart. Or, because of cultural or religious beliefs or lack of modelling growing up, we just don't know how or have never learned what it means to live from our heart.


We can end up isolated and alone afraid of vulnerability unable to step into our true identity and the destiny Jesus has for us - living a get-by life rather than the abundant life that Jesus died for.


This teaching series will help you gain a biblical understanding of what 'healing of the heart really looks like-why it's necessary- and how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit's work of sanctification and transformation, NOT an easy journey, but a necessary one.


We'll learn how to journey with the Holy Spirit, and how to journey with one another - how to walk each other home.


This series is highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn about ministering to the heart and is a brilliant pre-cursor for the Keys to Transformation training course.

Testimonial — Healing 💔heARTs💖 Encounter Groups

The Encounter Groups have been one of the most transformative parts of my healing journey. What began as a small gathering of hearts hungry for God’s presence has become a safe, sacred space where truth, grace, and restoration flow freely. Week after week, I’ve witnessed the Lord meet people right where they are — healing wounds, restoring hope, and deepening connection. For me personally, these groups have not only strengthened my relationship with God but also birthed deep friendships and a renewed sense of purpose. They're teaching me vulnerability. It’s a place where we don’t have to have it all together — where tears and laughter, prayer and creativity, all weave together into something beautiful. We can belong before we behave and be loved back to life by God through His children. Every session reminds me that healing truly happens in community, and that the same God who meets us in our brokenness is faithful to make something new and whole again when we confess one to the other and carry each other's burdens to fulfil the law of Christ. 'Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. ' James 5:16 — Patrizia “Trixi” Schwartz Facilitator, Healing 💔heARTs💖 Encounter Groups
