TOPICS:

/  W e e k  1  / Decoding Success: The Self-Expression - Safety Scale 

​

• Summary: This module presents an overview of insights & stories from artists & creators that have undertaken trauma integration work & unlocked their greatest ideas to-date, as well as from professionals who've changed careers & finally taken the leap to honor their inner creator - and what it took to undo the world's projected stories of who, what & how they could be. 
  
  In this introductory setting, you'll have the opportunity to identify where creativity & inspiration lives in your body & what & how it gets shut down - as we explore the unique, yet prevalent, emotional & interpersonal, struggles & challenges faced by creators, innovators, makers today. 
  
  This week is all about forming a baseline intake of where you are, want to be and how we start to define what creative success means for you - each week, as we you do the exercises & learn the material, you'll take one (or many!) more steps, with full support of the group container & guide, towards your unique creator and/or project goals.  
  
   

/  W e e k  2  / Trauma & The In-Debt Body 

​

• Summary: Here we cover digestible ways to  understand trauma, through somatic debts and overcouplings & why and how your self-expression is literally your own medicine; learning what happens in the traumatized body (both the mind and the nervous system) and why we then behave, choose, feel and act the ways that we do - particularly as it relates to creative expression.
  
  Here we'll also introduce concepts of regulation and charge, intuition vs. instinct and how those help us form guideposts for each of our unique, singular, messy, non-linear healing journeys. 
  
  Specifically, this module expands more in-depth on the common shared trauma narratives related to self-expression introduced in the previous module & provides tailored practices. 
  
   

/  W e e k  3  /  How We Free the Body (Relate & Regulate) 

​

• Summary: In-depth overview of how we regulate, with Self and others - through activation and a return to baseline (or rupture & repair) & through gentle, titrated constriction and expansion. 
  
  The 'Face, Feel, Free' methodology is introduced here and we work somatically with video recorded explorations on tracking the charge, orienting to sensation and deepening into feeling through an array of supports.  
  
  Specifically, this module focuses on permission & inner child work as it relates to self-expression, authenticity, artistic ceilings and creative possibilities for Self. 
  
  And provides structured and improvisational somatic prompts for how we listen to &  move stress - liberating stuck sensation (ie. thwarted survival physiology - when it is ready to go).
  ​

​

/ W e e k  4  /  Belief Becomes Biology

​

• Summary: Story, thoughts and meaning can often become identities & then behaviors, sourced originally from unintegrated, overwhelming experiences and versions of us that endured them.
  
  Here we focus on learning how the trigger is the medicine, to allow us to investigate overcouplings of threat from the past, how they cue stress and trauma response in the present, and ways we start updating our system and building capacity. 

​
 

/ W e e k  5  /  Retrieving The Intuitive, Instinctual Soma (and Self)

​

• Summary: Here we deepen into somatic explorations of our own body's needs, truth and boundaries, with more in-depth Parts work; after excavating somatic stories and meanings the mind made - we return to the whole Self, and cultivating our freest, truest soverign creator. 
  
  In closing, we focus on the tools & full integration of all that the 5 weeks have covered - so you are equipped to fully live into your new somatic stories.
  
  And here we celebrate together, showcase creative works and new ideas and discuss long-term strategies for continuing to train expansion over constriction in the nervous system (and subsequently, your self-expression).
