Trauma-Informed Training

- Weekend Intensive -

Emotions need to be recognized, felt, and given space to move and morph.

That’s why I created LIBERATE: A Method to Somatic Freedom. Dedicate a single weekend to a transformative experience designed to educate & empower you to transmute your pain into lasting agency, resilience, and freedom. Learn more about this two-day weekend intensive offering below.

While maintaining the integrity of the complete 6-month training program, this intensive experience offers the most essential elements from all 6 modules curated into a condensed, two-day experience. Based on the 2-hour Liberate: Somatic Release workshop, this offering breaks down the foundation of trauma-sensitive support, for yourself personally, and/or professionally through a sound therapeutic alliance through six phases:

| Awareness | 

Pay attention and attune to the intra and interpersonal relationships.

| Voice | 

Find your authentic voice through unapologetic self-expression. Cultivate lasting self-agency through verbal and non-verbal communication.

| Body | 

Acknowledge and renew personal boundaries in the creation of self-agency, safety, and security.

| Connection | 

Acquire the skills to harness emotion and behaviour to match intention and surrounding environmental cues.

| Direction | 

Bring potential to fruition.

| Truth | 

Realize and then apply a sense of freedom and grace to each relationship within your life.

 

To create a sacred, powerful space together, this weekend intensive will take place in person only at Yoga Santosha Mission on Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23, 2024. Each day includes 6 hours of both experiential and didactic coursework, totalling 12 hours. Each participant will be provided with a manual complete with the essential content covered over the weekend. Additionally, PDF copies of the recommended reading material will be provided via email for additional information and content reference.

This training is suitable for teachers, mental health providers, and anyone interested in personal exploration and growth. This training is for you to nourish your personal practice and professional client base.

Our time together will be involved, raw, and unveiling. Come prepared to move and be moved.
