Phenomena Healing was created by the non-profit Merraki Media and the Subtle Energy Funders Collective to thoughtfully explore energy healing, using rigorous scientific inquiry, in an endeavor to help reduce suffering and promote greater wellbeing. "Merraki" is a Greek word that means “doing something purely for the love of it."
