Where: Creemore (In person)
What: This intensive is for serious seekers with trauma symptoms who are looking to do some deep work in a short period of time. Work will include yoga practices (movement/poses (asana), breath work (pranayama), meditation and visualization practices, and intensive psychotherapy sessions.
Psychotherapy sessions will be held in a group space where the energy of the group supports the individual’s work and the individual’s work supports the group.
The purpose of the intensive is to assist you to develop your levels of consciousness and to work to help you move closer to deeply and thoroughly healing your trauma imprints from this lifetime and throughout the lineages.
This work can be confronting, enlivening, painful, joyful, frightening, triggering, clarifying, confusing, lightening, loving, angering, compassionate and so much more; please be prepared for anything to emerge and come to the intensive with the intention to be open to new ways of experiencing yourself and the world and to be open to grow.
Insurance: This therapeutic experience is facilitated by a Registered Social Worker – can be claimed on insurance if your insurance covers Social workers.
Food: Please bring your own lunch Monday-Thursday. Lunch will be provided on Friday. Snacks will be provided throughout.
Daily schedule: Will be determined based on what is happening in the process so it will change as needed – please book off the entire time and keep evening responsibilities light for integrating the day and to allow for a longer afternoon session if we need to go over time. Yoga practice will always start the day and will end the day as needed. Please be on the mat in the morning promptly at 8:30am.
Cell phones: are to be used ONLY for music during sessions. Please make a conscious effort not to busy yourself with cell phone use during breaks or lunches. The purpose is to be present with yourself and the group and often we dissociate by engaging the phone instead of our lives.
