“We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are” ~ Anais Nin
When our bodies are dysregulated and we see things through the lens of trauma, the world can indeed be a terrifying place. Just knowing this is comforting, as we remind ourselves that fear is not our reality, but rather our body’s stuck, habituated response in the face of anything it reads as danger. It can really feel like we are losing our minds if a harmless armchair looks threatening… but that’s just it! A traumatized body’s danger detecting abilities are not the most reliable, often giving cues of danger when in fact there is no external threat (and sometimes giving an equally inappropriate response when the threat is real).
The good news is that this can be changed! Through a loving and compassionate approach of enquiry into the mind and body.
Our recently developed Trauma Release programme will provide you with some of these tools on a guided journey of self-discovery, reclamation and remembrance.
These include kinesiology, counseling, reiki, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, massage and nature connection, informed by the practices of pioneers in the field of healing trauma, Gabor Mate, Peter Levine, Jeffrey Rutstein, Deb Dana and Stephen W. Porges.
This programme, though not yet on our website, is an addition to our other 4 retreat programmes. Please contact us directly for further information.
