Healing Traumatic Stress Through Embodied Awareness
A Workshop With Licia Sky
Saturday, June 28
10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. PDT
Our senses inform our nervous system about our physical state of safety or danger, agitation, or calm, and in turn, determine our capacity to focus and respond effectively to what is around us.
Being out of touch with yourself and the feelings of people around you is one of the hallmark signs of traumatic stress. Awareness of our bodily sensations is important for self-understanding, self-balancing, co-balancing, and healing from trauma. Restoring the ability and capacity to be aware in the present moment requires reestablishing awareness of our senses and being able to attune and align our interior reactions to our surroundings.
Join somatic educator and Co-founder and Global Ambassador of the Trauma Research Foundation, Licia Sky, to learn a gentle process of listening to bodily sensations that incorporates orienting, focusing attention, breath, sound, and movement. Participants learn detailed body tracking meditations incorporating interoception—the process of perceiving and interpreting internal bodily sensations, such as heart rate, breathing, temperature, and hunger—and proprioception—the sense of body position, movement, and force—discovering how they inform our sense of safety and availability to engage.
Licia’s workshop offers healing tools for those on their own journey to awareness of their inner and outer senses and for those looking to incorporate the workshop offerings into their therapeutic work with clients.
