Event Details

Description:
This two-day immersion will offer Somatic skills, guided meditations and exercises exploring old identifications that give rise to stuck patterns of fight, flight, and freeze. Old trauma can leave physiological and emotional scars that alter neurological functions and leave us frozen, both on and off the cushion.

By cultivating basic healing skills, we can recognize and reduce the painful effects of trauma and thereby free up energy for meditation, spiritual and daily life pursuits. With the educational tools taught in this class, our nervous system can begin to regain its capacity to self-regulate and increase our experience of true happiness and joy.


Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
