On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Reverend Lane hosted her first virtual community discussion, The Power of Acceptance.

One attendee says, “I’m so grateful I showed up for Reverend Lane’s Power of Acceptance session. In just one evening, I gained practical ways to soothe the echoes of my childhood pain, all in a genuinely caring and judgment‑free space. I never felt pressured to reveal more than I wanted, and that simple respect for our boundaries gave me a new sense of power over my vulnerability.”

The next free ONLINE community gathering will take place on Wednesday, June 11, 20025, at 7:00 PM ET, and the topic will be Understanding Feelings. This session will explore how emotions relate to unresolved childhood trauma and how learning to name, understand, and express those feelings can support lasting inner healing.

These gatherings are inspired by Lane’s groundbreaking workbook, What Your Inner Child Knows: Nine Steps to Rescue Your Abused Inner Child. This book provides a step-by-step process to help survivors reconnect with their wounded inner child and begin the process of self-rescue. With more than 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, Reverend Lane brings empathy, expertise, and lived wisdom to every interaction.

Reverend Lane recently traveled to New York City to receive the 2024 New Non-Fiction Winner Award for her memoir, Broken Water: An Extraordinary True Story. The book tells the powerful story of her healing journey alongside her ten sisters after surviving childhood trauma. It continues to resonate with readers across the globe, following her 2023 recognition as a Distinguished Favorite in the Independent Press Award.

During the New York awards ceremony, Reverend Lane was invited to offer a blessing before the meal to an international audience of over 250 guests, marking yet another moment in which her voice brought unity, peace, and hope to a diverse gathering of hearts. “As a survivor, alongside my ten sisters, I know firsthand the pain of childhood trauma,” Lane shared. “It is my calling to offer others the same opportunity for healing that we embraced, and I am honored to walk beside those ready to begin that journey.”

Here is Lane's prayer for the award dinner:

"Let us bow our heads and take a moment to center ourselves in holy gratitude. Tonight, we join together in the celebration of a common thread, our gifts of creativity. Let us express our gratitude to the Supreme Creator from whom our gifts flow. Together we give thanks to Gabby and Ted for their tireless effort to lift us up through the recognition of our achievements here this evening. Let us be grateful for the community created at this gathering, and may the bounty we are about to receive be blessed. Together we all say, Amen," says Lane.
