An Insight into Trauma: A gentle exploration of self and other

In this workshop, you will be invited to explore what trauma means to you and others through a series of individual, pair and group practices and conversations. We will safely and gently experience how trauma feels in the body and how it shapes our perceptions and feelings.

We will discuss the difference between ‘Big T’ and ‘Little T’ trauma, how many of our beliefs originate from childhood and how we can transform our beliefs into alignment with our authentic self through present moment awareness and self-regulating practices.

This is a past event and BOOKINGS FOR THIS EVENT ARE NOW CLOSED
