Starfish Foundation

Starfish Foundation Starfish Foundation is the sponsor of Healing Warrior Hearts retreats in Wisconsin since 1993, raising funds so veterans can attend at no cost.

Patricia Clason, founder of Taking It Lightly, created the Emotional Liberty Foundation (ELF) in 1990, to provide funding for individuals to do programs like Taking It Lightly for emotional healing work and who, because of their life circumstances, were unable to afford to do so. ELF was a private foundation through the National Heritage Foundation. Changes in federal law closed NHF foundations.


At that time, the Starfish Center became the Starfish Foundation, a charitable, educational tax-exempt (501(c)(3)) organization committed to raising funds to provide scholarships for emotional healing work. The Foundation continued to grow, adding sponsorship of programs dedicated to emotional healing for veterans.

Every year the number of scholarships and supported programs grows as people who have received scholarships pay it forward by donating time and dollars when they can to pass on the gift they received.

The primary program of the Starfish Foundation is the Healing Warrior Hearts retreats, offered to veterans at no cost as we believe they have already paid the price with their service. Information on the retreats is at https://www.healingwarriorhearts.org

You don't have to have all the answers.

You don't need the perfect words.
You don't need a degree in counseling.
You don't need to know exactly what to do.

Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can offer someone is your willingness to care.

Every day, people around us struggle silently with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and thoughts of hopelessness.

Mental Health First Aid Training gives you the tools to recognize when someone may be hurting, start supportive conversations, and help connect them with the resources they need.

Because being there for someone can change everything.

You can learn how to:

Recognize the signs of mental health challenges

Respond with confidence and compassion

Support someone in crisis

Connect people to professional help

Become a source of hope in your community

You don't have to be an expert.

You just have to be willing to show up.

One conversation.
One connection.
One person who knows they're not alone.

That can make all the difference.

Learn more about Mental Health First Aid Training through Healing Warrior Hearts and become part of a community committed to saving lives through compassion, understanding, and action.

Maybe what you're looking for isn't another thing to buy.

Maybe it's a conversation.

A connection.

A moment where you finally feel understood.

The Dare to Be Aware Fair isn't just about wellness products, workshops, or healing modalities.

It's about people.

People sharing ideas.
People supporting one another.
People discovering new paths toward healing, growth, and possibility.

Whether you're exploring holistic wellness, attending a workshop, experiencing sound healing, connecting with exhibitors, or simply spending the day surrounded by positive energy, you'll find something meaningful here.

You don't have to have all the answers.

You just have to be open to discovering what's possible.

Join us for a day filled with connection, inspiration, learning, and community.
