John Calvi’s Year End Letter
November 2012
Dear
Friends,
I’ve
recently returned from my final travel work for the year. I taught in 7 states to 14 groups. It’s been a wonderful time of teaching
healing from trauma, avoiding burnout for caregivers, and updates on American
torture and the Quaker work to end it.
This
is my 30th year of traveling and teaching as a Certified Massage
Therapist specializing in trauma and a Quaker healer with a gift for releasing
pain. It’s been a great ride of hands-on
work, teaching, and learning more. I
began working in the rape crisis. Women
with sexual hurt constitute the largest group of wounded on the planet. Then I began work in the AIDS pandemic. Work in prisons and with tortured refugees
followed. I’ve continued with each group
by invitation all this time.
Your
gifts and donations have made all this possible over 30 years. Imagine being able to say yes to work because
support will come and the needy don’t have to pay. This is a great freedom. I need your help to continue. There is much good that needs doing and I am
ready for more. Your help is important,
especially now in these economic times.
You will understand I am at some risk but going on. Please send a gift.
A
small miracle has occurred- an editor has come forward to take all my writings
and speeches and create a book. We hope
to be published in 2013. I’ll send
notice, but keep watch this summer. Much
work has been done both Spring and Fall for this.

grateful for your every consideration.
