Heal yourself using medicinal techniques, diet, meditation, martial arts & tai chi, dance, visual art, music, and more! Somewhere along the line, Cypress Pillar founders Brian and Misha decided life could be about joy and love. This decision was made, when all good things happen, riding together on a bus bumping along and dreaming. But, really, wouldn't it be amazing to wake up every morning pain
free, strong, loving your *self?* How incredible to look forward to a long life filled with wonder and adventure, to know what to eat, to laugh, and to be stress free. Well, why couldn't we all live like that? We all have a bit of healing to do, and we can work together to move through it.
