Greetings and Welcome!

Welcome to Keeping the Dream and the Healing Journey!

I'm Demian Yumei, and this is my home on the internet. I'd like to share my healing journey with you and walk with you as you travel yours.

Here you'll find information on aspects of the healing journey and the obstacles to it, as well as the creative process, which is an integral part of my own healing.

More so than ever, it's important to be your authentic self, to find and use your voice in ways that are right for you. You don't have to go it alone.

I look forward to walking with you.

Until then, stay true to your journey, to the light in your heart, to who you are and who you are becoming, always.
