What to expect from this retreat….
Do you sense that telling your personal story of trauma to transformation via memoir writing could be the next phase in your healing journey?
Do you have "parts" that still want to be heard and witnessed, not only by you, but by other loving, compassionate beings in a safe, brave writing container?
Do you sense that your "hell and back" story could help others who are still suffering and feel called to share your story as part of your soul's calling to serve others?
If so, this "memoir as medicine" workshop may be just what the doctor ordered.
We'll be using Internal Family Systems (IFS) as the healing foundation of our memoir writing experience, allowing different parts to tell their stories (with "protector permission," of course), while we witness the stories our parts might tell from a Self-led sacred space.
This retreat will incorporate trauma-supportive practices like
-
ritual
-
singing
-
movement
-
making art
-
group energy healing, and of course,
-
writing.
This retreat is limited to 30 participants. A comprehensive grasp of your parts and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and its various components is crucial for you to reap the rewards and benefits of this retreat.
PLEASE NOTE: A MINIMUM OF 24 RETREAT PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE RETREAT TO PROCEED.
