WORKING WITH TRAUMA - NEGOTIATING DIFFICULT EMOTIONS


We continue the work of the heart and navel centers as we give focused attention to strong emotional triggers and working with trauma through meditation. This course will present modern approaches to working with trauma in the context of ancient techniques that have stood the test of time over thousands of years. The synthesis of ancient and modern offers us clarity on key practices. This section will be co-taught by Mary Johnston-Coursey and Bonnie Wallace

We begin our study by exploring the nature of trauma, including how trauma affects the mind, the emotions, and the nervous system. We then draw from Tantric teachings to understand the relationship between suffering and healing. Finally, we weave together both ancient and contemporary techniques, incorporating supportive practices to create a wholistic approach to meditation.
