This study explored the healing experiences of participants in the Hyojeong Spiritual Healing Program using a qualitative research design. The Hyojeong Spiritual Healing Program is a 14-day faith-based residential program at HJ Magnolia International Medical Center in South Korea. It combines prayer, meditation on sacred teachings, spiritual healing sessions, counseling-oriented dialogue, educational activities, and community support. As increasing attention has been given to holistic health and spirituality, there is a growing need to understand how spiritual healing contributes to psychological, physical, and existential well-being. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten participants who completed the program, and the data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis. Five interconnected themes were identified: (1) motivation for participation, (2) transformative spiritual healing experience, (3) psychological recovery, (4) perceived physical recovery, and (5) rediscovery of meaning in life. These themes reflected interconnected dimensions of participants' perceived healing experiences, encompassing spiritual transformation, psychological recovery, perceived physical improvement, and renewed meaning in life. An interpretive conceptual framework was developed to illustrate these relationships without assuming a fixed temporal sequence or causal mechanism. Participants described prayer, meditation, communal support, and spiritual practices as central elements facilitating this transformation. The findings suggest that the Hyojeong Spiritual Healing Program may promote holistic healing by integrating spiritual, psychological, and physical dimensions while providing a meaningful framework for coping with illness and suffering. This study offers qualitative insights into participants’ perceived experiences of spirituality and healing and contributes practical implications for pastoral counseling, spiritual care, and holistic health promotion. Future mixed-methods research incorporating objective physiological indicators is recommended to further examine and validate these findings.
