Di Wickham: Conscious Learning Facilitator Coach, Meditation and Writing for Healing Guide, Reiki Practitioner
A retired educator, Di Wickham loves blustery storms, the play of light through colored glass, feet under her table, cloud shadows, yoga, and gut-busting laughter. She and husband, Wick, are empty nesters who make their home in Starkville and love all things maroon. Currently, Di serves the Soulflower community as a Conscious Learning Facilitator Coach, circle guardian for Wednesday’s Writing for Healing Circle, and guide for Thousandfold Thursday meditations. She is also a certified End of Life Doula and is working towards her 200 hour certification as a Vinyasa Yoga Instructor. Through her own relationship with grief, Di learned that grief can be a box to hide in or a force for liberation. Searching for an escape from that box, she discovered the heart-healing capacity of reiki and stands ready to share it with all who are also searching. “I’m on my own healing journey, and I am constantly reminded that when I tune in and listen to my body; release old, limiting beliefs; and radiate love, I am on my way to becoming whole and healthy. Self-care, much like being a MS State fan, is not a trend, it's a way of life!”

Juan Corrigan, LMT #113
Juan states his philosophy in healing is that things are interconnected. While attending college for his bachelors and masters, he worked in the fitness field and physical therapy and learned how healing came from staying fit and rehabbing the injuries that came with life. Physical therapy opened the massage therapy world and that brought more awareness in how healing is performed. The body is designed to heal but it heals faster with mind and emotion working together. He is constantly learning how amazing our body is and when you actually start to know your awareness, things begin to change and miracles begin to happen.

Hunter Smith: Artist in Residence
In an increasingly intangible and impersonal world, the handmade challenges us to think, feel, and connect. It is the subtle variations and human irregularities of such objects that intrigue and attract. In truth, I feel that beauty is sometimes more a product of what is “imperfect” than what is “perfect.” My interest in clay is rooted in my love of tactility and the hope that I might better understand perfect imperfection.
I particularly enjoy making functional work because these pieces are meant to be handled and interacted with - having the potential to become an intimate part of someone’s day to day life. It is my belief that a well made cup or bowl can transform something as seemingly mundane as a simple meal or coffee break into something more ritual and meaningful.

Jessica Arndt, BSN: Reiki Master, Leader of Reiki Share
Jessica has studied and developed her gifts through Intuitive Compass Academy, and plans to acquire her certification as an Animal Energy Healing & Communication Practitioner in February 2022. She desires to guide her clients on their unique journey of healing. She offers guidance and support through intuitive messages and energy healing. Her methods offer a holistic and adjunctive approach with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, acute and chronic physical illness, self confidence and empowerment, finding and trusting the inner voice within and improving overall quality of life.
Jessica's belief is that we are more than our physical bodies. We must incorporate healing and development in our emotional, spiritual, mental and physical bodies to be our best whole selves. She is excited to start a new journey with us as our Community Reiki Share host. Jessica's foundational reiki training is in Usui Reiki, and her reiki practice has evolved to include the physical senses. She frequently incorporates essential oils, herbs, feathers, crystals, and/or sound frequency
or binaural beats into her sessions as according to clients' individual needs, which is a powerful experience for clearing and balancing their energy systems.
