About Us

Enlightened Heart Ministries & Holistic Healing, founded in 2018 by Michael Lisowski, is a faith‑centered, spiritually integrative practice devoted to inner healing, contemplative growth, and embodied transformation. The ministry brings together the depth of Christian spirituality—especially Ignatian traditions—with Eastern energetic and contemplative practices, offering a holistic path that engages the heart, mind, body, and soul.

At the core of Enlightened Heart Ministries is the practice of spiritual direction. The ministry provides both individual and group spiritual direction, creating a reflective, guided relationship that supports discernment, healing, and personal calling. It also offers supervision for spiritual directors, serving as a resource for both seekers and practitioners committed to the vocation of spiritual accompaniment.

Enlightened Heart Ministries is distinguished by its integration of Daoist mysticism and Medical Qigong. These offerings draw on Chinese energetic medicine, soul‑retrieval practices, and the healing properties of minerals, plants, and animals. This blended approach unites Western contemplative spirituality with Eastern energetic healing to support deep, holistic wellness.

The ministry also hosts a variety of retreats, including silent directed retreats and Ignatian retreats in daily life, each designed to cultivate spiritual awareness through structured contemplation, silence, and personalized guidance. Leadership credentials highlighted within the ministry reflect formal training in spiritual direction, Ignatian retreat leadership, Daoist spiritual disciplines, and medical qigong—underscoring a commitment to grounded, well‑trained, and intentional spiritual practice.

Enlightened Heart Ministries stands as a sanctuary for individuals and communities seeking a spiritually rich, integrative, and transformative path.
