Healing in Its Truest Form: What Medicine Without Medicine Really Is

Sep 22, 2025

Adina @the_chefs_wife_ (who is one of the most magnificent and special humans with some of the deepest faith and wisdom I've ever met) wrote the most beautiful post and words about her experience at Medicine without Medicine week. I want to share it with you, because I believe her words are really important. In the simplicity of them... she articulated so much of what Medicine without Medicine is:

"Hard to put last night into words.

-medicine without medicine— was one of the most deeply explorative and immersive experiences I’ve had.

Rivky has a rare gift for truly seeing you, for drawing out the pieces we don’t even realize are there.

It was healing in its truest form. ✨

Endlessly Grateful"

The reason why I believe these words to be really important is because it's true: This work we do together is healing in it's truest form. Not because I have a secret formula that noone else has access to, but because I take my role of orienting YOU back to your own agency, power and light so seriously.

And then, one by one, each person creates the most deep, immersive, and explorative experience of their life in the experiences that I create.

The power is in you, and God.

It always was, is and will be.

If your healing journeys are not leading you towards the infinite light of your own being, the deepest impact, aliveness and empowerment... find a new one.

The purpose of the medicine without medicine is to orient you back to the truth that always was, is, and will be.

You are the steward of your own energy

You are powerful beyond measure

You are a child of God

You deeply matter

You are never your feelings, and always your state of being

Your feelings get to be felt

You get to create your life with God

Rinse and Repeat, over and over

Love,

Rivky
