Laurie Gates

Laurie Gates is an energy healer and artist. She consults with Wabi Sabi in Chicago and directs the Ahimsa Collective, a collaboration of people and small businesses healing the Earth through themselves.

She guides individuals holistically to help them recover from trauma and illness, and guides small businesses through eco-design. A lifetime yogi and Reiki master, she does energy work as part of her practice. Her artwork is the alchemy of this energy. Ahimsa art is designed to create peace.

In 2022, Laurie developed Energy Work with Animals in collaboration with ming + ming. This meditation series is designed to help people and animals relax and share a calming space.

In the class, meditators move energy, learn to breathe, and work with their chakras. Laurie directs attention through a guided meditation, so that minds can rest while bodies heal.

Moon meditations at Wabi Sabi Space bring the community together to discuss progress and successes, and the collaborative weekly Peace and Healing for the World meditations encourage members to take a few moments for themselves and the world.

Laurie also works with the Ahimsa Collective on the Ahimsa Warrior Project where healing is promoted through the making of artwork. These workshops are open to anyone, regardless of artistic experience.
