Tyrian Healing Award

The Tyrian Healing Award is in honor of Dr. Roberta Steinbacher, PhD, cofounder of the Department of Urban Studies at Cleveland State University. The award was created in 2019.

Tyrian is an inter-spiritual network created to awaken the artist, healer, and peacemaker in each of us.

We placed the organization under the guardianship of St. Brigid, the patroness of Ireland as well as the ancient Brighid, the “High One”, who guided her lands in peace. The Celtic Brighid was not only patron of the arts, midwifery, farming, wood & metalworking but she was first and foremost a visionary community builder. Tyrian seeks healers who express Brigid’s spirit and whose work promotes harmony with nature and all people.
