Heidi Love’s—Help Save A Life
Donation protected
“Singular acts of compassion can have profound influences over generations. You never know whom you might inspire or where it might lead.” Heidi Love
LIFE-SAVING RESOURCE
KnowingActs, by Heidi Love—hailed as a life-saving practice for trauma survivors—seeks to publish a highly- effective, customizable workbook. It has 100 art-filled pages with original watercolors from Maine artist Linden O'Ryan, that have grown out of her own path to healing. It includes over 30 easy exercises with music, art, haiku, mindfulness, meditation, podcasts, brave books, free resources, and more, in a customizable format to encourage personal journeys of healing. Our long-term vision is that anyone in emotional crisis has immediate access to life-saving materials to keep them safe until they can get the professional help they need. Our initial goal is to publish and begin to distribute workbooks to those suffering from overwhelming emotions and PTSD.
EXPERT OVERSIGHT
KnowingActs—provides a stopgap measure to help trauma survivors move from suicidal ideation to places where they can seek professional help. Reviewed and vetted by numerous experts (see “Praise” below) this workbook provides a powerful, insightful tool to defuse overwhelming sadness, grief, anger, despair, and sense of loss—and promote healing.
CREATED BY SURVIVORS, FOR SURVIVORS
(Trigger Warning) Author Heidi Love has survived childhood rape, attempted strangulation, and her mother’s condemnation that she was “ruined for life.” During episodes of PTSD her shame was so overwhelming, and her self esteem so low, that she felt unworthy of help and was unable to ask for support. Using a specific pattern of calming responses to her trigger, her practice, developed at sea, became life saving. Along with artist Linden O'Ryan and all members of the KnowingActs team she is working tirelessly and voluntarily with trauma experts to get this therapist-approved practice and healing art to anyone struggling with with PTSD.
100% of DONATIONS SUPPORT TRAUMA SURVIVORS
All donations are greatly appreciated and will support the healing of individual trauma survivors. $4,000 is needed to self publish, launch, and distribute the first workbook run. This will allow proceeds to go to survivors rather than a large for-profit publisher. A donation as small as $10 will support printing; $25 will additionally get a workbook to a survivor in need; $50 will support publication, deliver a free book to a survivor, and I will deliver a complimentary first run book signed and personally dedicated to you (or should you indicate, two books to survivors); $250 will provide all of the above services and deliver ten workbooks to Maine and New Hampshire-based rape crisis counselors. $1,000 will provide all of the above plus as a founding member you will receive a complimentary museum-quality signed giclee art print from KnowingActs artist Linden O’Ryan, while providing three cases of complimentary workbooks to New England-based rape crisis counselors. (If you are selecting to have art and/or books signed and sent to you or others please include the dedication you would like and an address.) The books will be released in September.
Please support a survivor when they need it most on their healing journey. Heartfelt thanks for your support.
