What's in a Name?
Fireflies have a natural ability to shine their inner light. We humans have an inner light, too. When we're healthy and living according to our highest purpose, that light shines brightly.
Yet, life brings us challenges. And fear – of change, failure, pain, and the unknown. This fear can discourage us from stepping out into new territory, into adventure and discovery. This fear can cause us to get “stuck”.
As children, however, we could often find a safe place to have adventures. A place where we used our imaginations to completely change who we were. Often, that safe place was under the protection of a great, big tree. Perhaps a Willow tree.
Firefly Willows is dedicated to that process of self-change – a safe and joyful place to learn to shine your inner light.
Wherever you are on your path of healing, transformation, and self-discovery, come take your next step with us.
Firefly Willows embraces a family focus, because we are one! We are:
