THE JOURNEY BACK TO THE BEGINNING – TO RECONNECT BACK TO YOU
THE TRAUMA HEALING WORKSHOP
This March, April and May 2024 we are running a 4 week IN PERSON program, each weekly session lasting 1.5 hours across various dates to suit you across various locations in Paphos
This TRAUMA HEALING workshop will uncover the basic principles and foundations of what is laid out in Kathryn Asher’s book DEAR CHILD and as the book comprises of 4 counterparts, we will dedicate each chapter to each week of the month however, rather than interpret from a psychoanalytical perspective (although this will come in to play) we are going to use this workshop to lay some creative, practical work and get imaginative and active!
WHAT WILL THIS LOOK LIKE?
We will be working through a lot of what is in the beautiful soul search book by Kathryn Asher, ‘DEAR CHILD‘ where we will explore ROOT CAUSES, behavioural loops and patterns, trauma bonding, the world of emotions and somatic embodiment and connection.
This workshop is really a way to channel and apply creative and inspiring activities in to your trauma healing journey.
NURTURING YOUR GARDEN SO IT CAN GROW
The event is a total 4 week cost of 199 Euro (I am offering applied discount for this LIVE in person workshop that is otherwise priced at £399 as an incentive to hopefully get as many involved as possible because this course is a very beneficial existential and functional toolkit for self guided therapy and somatic trauma healing that EVERYONE can apply) and includes your own copy of the DEAR CHILD book, a full range of online modular assignments and additional reflective content to complete in your own time.
Hosted in English but anyone and everyone welcome – Tea, Coffee and Cake provided!
TRAUMA HEALING WORKSHOP DETAILS
WEEK 1
OBJECTIVES FOR WEEK 1
- Understanding what is trauma and childhood trauma
- Understanding triggers
- Understanding the basics of where our disconnect comes from

This week will cover a lot of baseline trauma concepts and scenarios to set a level of understanding so you can identify your own triggers – It will then move into conceptualising what is and what should have been and could be a very healthy, sacred and beautiful childhood – It will then move into creating safe zones so that when we explore memory recall via our own past experiences, we know we are safe to go as deep as we want and then lastly, we will commence ASSIGNMENT 1, which will be a very interactive and interpersonal timeline / vision board and journal creation for you to re-connect, play and explore the world of emotions and imagination with your own Inner child in both the past, present and future!

WEEK 2
OBJECTIVES FOR WEEK 2
- Exploring the world of emotions and what they really are
- Introducing the BODY BRAIN CONNECTION (and disconnection)
- Looking at how emotions show up in the body and how to identify BODY BRAIN synchronicities somatically
- Looking at somatic healing solutions and coping mechanisms to apply when moving through ANY form of trauma healing
- Looking at PTSD, Trauma bonds, behavioural loops, addictions and other various disorders and patterns that accompany a dysregulated SELF
- A deep dive into the nervous system and how all trauma is in the nervous system and is not the response – how to regulate and balance your nervous system somatically
- A deep look at shadow work – How and why we do this and ways of doing this on a conscious level
- Going back to our journal again, how do the lessons and finding of week 2 compare now that we have a deeper understanding of how our body and brain actually work and how our emotions are all connected to our body brain
- ASSIGNMENT 2 – Going back over the time wheel, we will reflect and consider on times when you FELT certain ways as a child / teen / young adult
This is the week that now we understand how to set safe zones and spaces for ourselves to explore, we are going to take ourselves to the next level, the place where exploration really gets raw – THE BODY BRAIN. It is said that that homes protect the dreamer so that they can truly dream. Our ‘home’ can be our safe space but we can create a safe space anywhere, any time once we know how but, YOUR REAL HOME is your body. That is where you need to start to feel safe but that is one of the hardest things to do when every emotion under the sun moves through it daily and you feel vulnerable, exposed unprotected and often don’t or can’t appreciate your BODY because of situations in your past but – Here we are going to look at coping mechanisms, ways to LOVE and appreciate your body and brain in new ways, how to shift your mindset and how to connect and understand all the feelings, thoughts and sensations on a conscious level so that you can really move into the next stage of your journey. If you’re a parent, you might during this week see that you are not just doing this for you – You are doing it for your children too!

In week 3, we are going to look at ways in which we can change/ re-boot the operating system. Having retrograded back to the past to identify areas and experiences in which things ‘went wrong’, we are now going to get our problem solving hats on and look deeply for solutions and HOW WE CAN MAKE THEM RIGHT – ‘Will to power’ and how to control your own mind through re-programming, psycho-linguistic programming and the power of visualization and catharsis cleaning are just a few ways we are going to start to implement solutions. This will cover the body / brain connection, how our mind works and why and how to shift things so that you can start to take the power back with how you think, act and feel on a daily basis ON YOUR OWN TERMS and with you in control at all times

In this final week of the workshop, we are going to CREATE! This week will be where we are each going to bring our little child (our actual little mini me from our past) back into the classroom with the adult us and learn about how we can re-write the stars
We will have a timeline glance over all our lineages. The past, the present and the future all together in the now and we will use this week to visualise and set the intention for the life we want. Week 4 will look deeply into the world of manifestation, what is manifestation, how to manifest and how to utilize your visual powers. In the final chapter of the workshop, with our new found sovereign empowerment and blank canvas by which to create, we will write out our intention and cast our desires out into the world. Re-writing the stars is how we change the world. If you want to change the world, you have to change yourself! But you have to FIND yourself first!
