Event Details
Sliding Scale: $110 – 275. Code PL1B18.
Meditation is a deep ongoing process. Along this journey, we will most surely uncover our past traumas and emotional wounds. These encounters can enhance and deepen our meditation practices if they are integrated. If not, they can cause confusion, chaos, disassociation, possible re-traumatization, or the infamous “bliss by-pass.”
In this day retreat, we will learn how to visit, meet, and integrate these experiences. Together, we will explore how this process supports our inward journey of self-discovery and inner freedom.
This is a benefit event supporting Peter Levine and all that we do here at Spirit Rock! No special rate pricing is available.
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to utilize the tools and practices offered in this program to better support their clients and patients dealing with trauma. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals-
Based on the content of this program, you will be able to:
- Describe why traumatic memories are likely to emerge during meditation practice;
- Assess when trauma may be the cause of anxiety, insomnia, depression, and unexplained pain and explain how utilizing bodily sensations can help to resolve trauma;
- Demonstrate multiple somatic awareness tools that utilize traumatic experiences as portals to reduce distress, that can occur during meditation, and improve emotional well-being through deepening a meditative practice;
- Teach clients to use traumatic experiences to enhance access to self-discovery and the authentic self.
