As we allow our minds to silence we allow in the possibility of presence. Ultimately power is the power to be and fully embody presence. When we are capable of experiencing that, presence acts on us and through us. The more we experience essence the more there is a transformation of our souls’ unfoldment. It allows the optimizing force of being to overtake us, we become the servant of it - spiritual work. We need to be comfortable with not knowing because we don’t know what will come through.
We begin to feel the power of presence -the magnificence and immensity. We see its beauty, the magic of it, its incredible dazzling effect on us.
This weekend can be attended as a one time workshop or as part of the 6-month Learning Program. The ongoing program is an experiential Personal Process that is done in a Community with a safe holding environment.
The actual training consists of 24 weekends, done over a 2 year period. Participants are only required to commit to 6 months at a time and then they can decide to continue or not. All participants must fill out an application to see if they are a good fit for the training.
This training will be an experiential learning experience. Participants will learn to navigate and resolve their own personal and systemic trauma issues, along with acquiring skills to work with others who have trauma. Focus will also be given to learning to work with the activation in the nervous system, self-regulation, cultivating presence and embodiment.
Participants will also learn about Constellation Work concepts, and for experienced constellation participants, there is a possibility to go on the facilitator track in the second year. The training will have occasional drop-in workshop participants in it.
This month's theme: Pre & Peri Natal Issues & Birth Trauma. Divine Homesickness, Vanishing Twin Syndrome Renegotiating Early Trauma. Embodiment, Cultivating Presence & Bodyfulness.
We will begin and end the training with working with heart qualities, before we open the trauma dynamics. The ultimate goal of the training is to reconnect to our life force that has been usurped by traumatic interruptions in our life and open the heart again to love and belonging. For more information about this training, go to Trauma Training.
The following pages on this website will also inform you of the theoretical concepts included in the training: Learning Program, Relational Constellations, SE Trauma Work, Somatic Psychology, and Sacred SoulWork

We will approach the themes from the perspective of the influences in our bonding patterns, from the ancestors, our ego, our relationships, the body and essence, soul and the divine.
Ancestors – We will look at systemic & trans-generational patterns we inherit from our families and entanglements with past events, which may have major influences on our current relationships.
Personality – We will explore our personal history, ego, developmental issues and personal traumas, that limit us in life.
Relational and Interpersonal – We will explore our ways of being in the world, along with our entanglements in relation to self and others, parents, partners and life relationships.
Somatic & Embodiment – We will include awareness of landing home in our bodies, self-regulation, nervous system activation, the body as the gateway to the informing field.
Transpersonal – We will deepen our connection to our essence, our soul, and to the sacred.
