Lorraine Cohen's Recovery Fund
Donation protected
Beloved friends,
Our sweet soul sister Lorraine Cohen needs our help. Lorraine has been our close friend for many years and we consider her to be family. We have collaborated and encouraged each other for years. You may have been a part of some of our work together.
Recently, Lorraine had surgery to remove a lump from under her arm that is stage 4 breast cancer. This is her third time down this road.
Lorraine is recovering from surgery and experiencing weariness as her body works hard to heal. As you might expect, this is making it difficult for Lorraine to run her solo-business at full strength. With the burden of increasing medical costs that are not covered by her insurance, Lorraine needs help.
As a single woman with no family and limited resources, and tremendous gifts to give the world, we are asking for everyone who can, to ease Lorraine’s healing journey. She is continuing to work as her energy permits. And she needs extra support to recover from the trauma of surgery and to restore her body to optimal health.
One of the greatest blessings we have received from Lorraine was the support of a mastermind group we started many years ago. We met recently to explore how we might help to support Lorraine through this time of healing and inner growth. And so we decided to launch this campaign.
You can help by making a financial donation of any amount. Please send money through Go Fund Me and pass along this request to family and friends. Many people sending just a few dollars makes a huge difference and engages the law of multiplication, coming back to you as you give. What a joy to be a part of this healing circle!
With deep gratitude and blessings from Lorraine’s mastermind sisters,

UPDATE 4/16/15:
Beloved friends,
It’s Karen here with an update. During our mastermind call this week we discussed how people tend to react to dire medical needs by giving money more than when a person appears to be healthy. The question we were sitting with is this: should we share images of Lorraine as she is now, where the wear of her dis-ease is more visible and therefore compelling to people so they will give money?
We came to a clear decision: NO!
All of us know that holding a vibration of beauty and light and health is critical to Lorraine’s healing. We are living as if her perfect health is a reality now as a way of supporting her healing process.
We are choosing to see Lorraine as having an experience of dis-ease as she does. She needs help and support in navigating this dis-ease.
What we’re seeing is an opportunity to make a profound and transformative shift in how we experience healing. The “old paradigm” of looking at health is that you’re either sick or healthy. If you're sick, then you must wage a war with the disease and throw all of the resources that you can to win the battle. You have won the war only when you are healed. OR you are healthy, and you should be able to “pull your own weight” and “take care of yourself.”
This old way of seeing health as an either/or duality makes a medically related fundraising campaign persuasive: there is a urgent need to win the war against the disease.
In the “new paradigm” of looking at health, we know that healing is inevitable, health is a natural state of being, and any experience of dis-ease is the result an imbalance in human systems. There is no identification with a diagnosis like cancer, only a process of returning to your naturally healthy state of being. There is no need to become the disease, rather an invitation to live from an intention of health restored. We are consciously choosing to create this new paradigm.
We know there are several components to healing and Lorraine in engaged in a number of powerfull natural protocols. We are holding Lorraine in a vibration of “healed,” while AT THE SAME TIME we acknowledge her experience of dis-ease.
Therefore, you will not see any pictures of Lorraine looking sick. We want to create a different kind of motivation and momentum with this fundraising campaign. You see, we know that Lorraine’s healing is our healing, and vice versa. Each of us has experienced some sort of medical crisis in our lives, so we know what it’s like to struggle through the pressure to get back to “pulling your own weight.” By investing in an experience of grace and ease for Lorraine, we are ALL learning how to change our consciousness about cancer and sickness in general.
We are creating a new experience of healing as a beautiful journey that benefits us all. We invite you to participate in this journey by sharing our campaign with friends. Let’s lead the way and create a new paradigm of health and healing together!
In love and health,
