Abstract

Throughout history, master weavers have described the weaving of a tapestry as a calling, as transformation, as healing, or as a sacred work. The early, single threads of my tapestry have taken on new meaning over time as I have become clearer in mind and spirit about my mission of bringing holism and healing to the forefront of nursing. This article reveals some of the threads dominant patterns, and pearls that have been woven into my tapestry of holism.
