Empowering Individuals to heal on their own terms in their own way.
-
Clearview Works is an organization committed to fostering growth and healing for individuals who have experienced trauma throughout their lives. Drawing from personal experiences, interviews, and collaborations with specialists in non-traditional healing practices, we aim to provide valuable information, connect individuals with various support groups, and expand care and services for those in need in the future.

Through numerous ongoing projects, Clearview Works is diligently gathering and compiling information by conducting research, sharing personal journeys, interviewing participants, and engaging with both healers and individuals seeking healing during our bike ride initiative. Our ultimate objective is to establish a retreat and healing center where individuals can embark on their personal healing journeys. Utilizing a variety of healing methods—including seminars, retreats, plant medicine, and hands-on experience in cultivating plants within a greenhouse—Clearview Works is poised to offer support in ways that traditional methods may not address, enabling individuals to heal and grow in a manner that resonates with them.

Our long-term goals for Clearview Works are multifaceted and outlined in greater detail on our projects page.

They include:
-
Establishing a Retreat/Healing Center focused on healing through seminars, plant medicine, and recommendations for resources, supported by healers from diverse fields of non-traditional medicine and healing practices.
-
Developing a large, environmentally friendly, and semi-self-sustaining greenhouse, which will be collaboratively managed by retreat participants. This greenhouse will supply fresh produce to the retreat/healing center and benefit surrounding communities. This significant endeavor will be developed over several years to enhance the organization's impact on attendees and local areas.
-
Creating a community and national network of resources and healers to assist individuals across the country.

While some nonprofit leadership literature emphasizes manipulative tactics to secure funding, Lalenya Yahnke — also known as Alice, founder of Clearview Works — has chosen a different path. Together with her board members, she is resolutely committed to the principle that Clearview Works will not seek or accept government assistance. They believe that true advocacy for the people must be created and sustained by the people themselves.
This conviction has become a cornerstone of Alice’s philosophy. Though many organizations find success by following the conventional playbook, she critiques these approaches as misaligned with the values of transparency, integrity, and community empowerment that Clearview Works is built upon.
Alice’s stance is further validated by the legacy of Crazy Horse, whose courage and loyalty to his people inspire her own dedication. She honors and respects these values deeply, standing firm with the same resolve — feet planted, sword raised, unwavering in her convictions. And she does not stand alone. Her board members share these beliefs fully, united in carrying forward Clearview Works’ mission with the same unshakable commitment.
"Healing should be accessible to all."
I started my healing journey in my mid twenties while recovering from alcoholism and leaving my second abusive marriage. Having taken accountability for my drinking, learning to live life without drinking and seeking a life well-lived gave me the foundation for further healing as I learned I always have a choice as to what I will be a part of and walked away from being a victim.
Over the course of my life I have always struggled with fitting in and wanting to always please those around me. The results of this led me down a road of hiding who I truly was and getting involved with people who physically, mentally, and emotionally abused me. Manipulating me along the way. With the help of people like those in this group as well as some long nights of thinking and telling myself the real me is good enough, I began to heal. The me that I thought was lost began coming back, building back my confidence, the drive to improve myself, and to allow me to let people see and accept the true me. It's a long and often hard journey, but I feel that with the right support and determination, everyone can heal the wounds of the past.
Healing for me was and is allowing myself to discover and appreciate who I really am. It's taken a lot of self-reflection, a lot of support from the right people, and a refusal to give up. My trauma might not be as violent or severe as other's but it's mine and I still deserve to heal.
