with Jenny Bell
4 Thursdays, October 5 - 26, 5:30 – 7:00pm
In-Person at DGCEC
Trauma is in every room. Trauma is highly prevalent in our society. Research tells us that 90% of us will live through a traumatic event, and some will develop debilitating symptoms in its aftermath.
We have collectively endured the global pandemic and as result suffered through a collective trauma. Our awareness on this subject continues to grow.
Join Jenny in this powerful and informative 4-week class to learn specific modifications you can use to help leverage the power of mindfulness towards trauma healing. You will be introduced to the topic of Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness (TSM), we'll cover contemporary definitions of trauma, most recent research and you will be guided through an experiential series of TSM practices. This class is a container to become confident with modifications that support safety and stability for people struggling with trauma in meditation. Come away with a toolkit full of resilience and post traumatic growth!
This "course provides insightful, and practical approaches to bring mindful awareness to difficult situations that we all encounter." Robert R
