Understanding and Healing Trauma: Perspectives from Trauma-Informed Mindfulness and Embodied Practices
With Vamsi Koneru and Sandrine Harris
February 13, 2021
Join clinical psychologist Vamsi Koneru and somatic educator Sandrine Harris for a daylong workshop to deepen your understanding of trauma. We will explore the prevalence of trauma and its impact on our nervous system, mind-body health and relationships. Through exploration of practices associated with trauma-informed mindfulness, gentle movement, and engaged learning, we will develop ways to begin the compassion-filled work of healing.
Sandrine and Vamsi look forward to welcoming you into this process with skilled guidance and drawing from their experiences with trauma-informed mindfulness meditation, Somatic Experiencing® and Feldenkrais®.
Individuals from all walks of life are welcome. No experience with therapeutic movement or meditation is needed to attend. This retreat is an offering of embodied learning, experiential practice, and pathways to restoring health.
Please wear comfortable clothing to move in, shoes for outdoor walking meditation practice, a journal, and anything else which brings you comfort for a full-day experience.
