SUMMARY:Gail Brenner\, Ph.D ~ Deep Trauma Healing: Tending the Ground for Awakened Living ~ 3-Part Online Retreat
DESCRIPTION:3-Part Online Retreat\nNov. 3\, 4 & 5\, 2022\n9:00 am – 12:00 noon\, Pacific Time\, each day\nTime Zone Converter\nEvent will be recorded and emailed to participants after each meeting.\nYou’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions. \nPlease note daylight saving time in Europe has ended in time for this event\, while it hasn’t yet in the US.\nFor this reason\, we will be starting at 9:00 am Pacific time / 5:00 pm CET (Europe) / 4:00 pm UK. \nAddressing trauma and how we hold it is essential to seeing through the illusion of the separate self. Join this powerful 3-session retreat as we create a safe and supportive healing community to do this deeper work that unfolds on the path of awakening. \nUnexamined trauma is at the root of conditioned patterns and keeps you feeling stuck\, limited\, and unable to be free. You long for freedom and maybe have had a taste of your true nature\, but somehow these patterns keep getting played out automatically in your mind\, emotions\, relationships\, and choices in life. You feel caught in the painful sense of separation…from yourself and the sacredness of all of Life. \nYou are welcome just as you are with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions. Through practices\, inquiries\, and experiments during and between our sessions\, we’ll learn to untangle these patterns and find our way home to the ever present\, relaxed\, open space of inner aliveness. There will be plenty of time for Q&A with Gail. \n\nSession 1: We’ll cultivate a sense of safety for those hidden\, cut off parts of ourselves to come out into the light of loving awareness. This is what heals shame and separation.\nSession 2: We’ll bring skillful means to how we experience conditioned patterns—in our bodies\, nervous systems\, emotions\, and beliefs.\nSession 3: We’ll explore devotion\, surrender\, and the practicalities of awakened living.\n\nAnd we’ll discover\, over and over\, the ground of being\, your spacious true home that has never been touched by these experiences. \nStress and worry…people pleasing…persistent relationship struggles…proving yourself through accomplishments…the inner critic…these longstanding patterns are profound invitations into liberation from the sense of separation. Together\, we discover being fully alive in our humanness as we expand into overflowing gratitude\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nGail is offering a free information session on Tuesday\, November 1 from 9-10am Pacific. You’ll learn more about the course\, and there will be time for Q&A.
