: Moving through Difficult Life Transitions. Learn daily practices and communal rituals to clear the emotional energy that keeps you stuck
About this Event

Are these Turbulent times Creating Emotional Distress?
Is this New Stage of Life (ex: Mid-life) Feeling like a lot to handle?
Ending of a past relationship particularly painful?

Life is full of emotionally challenging moments. And our current times does not make it any easier. Add in the stress, distraction and disconnection that comes from our modern way of living and we find ourselves simply in unhappy, unpleasant emotional states of mind often. We ruminate, we stew, we wallow in sadness or get consumed by anger… don’t worry its not just you… its all of us.

Q: So how do we break the cycle of emotional stuckness?

Q: How do we come back to our more joyful, peace-filled selves?

A: Emotional Resilience!

  • We move & release that emotional energy.
  • We understand it and give it the love and attention it is asking for us.
  • We co-regulate with other human beings to share the emotional burden of life.

And much more. In our 2+hour workshop together, you will learn the tools, teachings, ancient rituals and proven methods to clear the emotional energy and become more resilient emotionally during difficult times or even just difficult moments or conversations. As a group, we will experience this work in real time by moving our bodies, letting our voices be heard and tapping into the deeper emotions and energy that needs to move. This workshop is great for anyone interested in the topic energy work or having the life of events of:

Feeling angry or resentful at someone or situation

Holding in the tears of sadness or grief

Having restless nights and losing sleep

Ruminating about past experiences?

Feeling anxiety over an uncertain future

Ready to release sadness or grief

Feelings stuck or holding on energy no longer serving you...

Yes? Then come join us!

After class, you will feel lighter, more open, clear and expansive. And maybe a bit sore as this is a decent workout. Most of all, you will feel more “free to be you” for the day and week ahead.

Our co-facilitator, Sharon Siegler will offer education, reflection, and practical tools to strengthen your emotional resilience including powerful EMDR excercises.

She will teach you how to navigate challenges with more flexibility, compassion, and confidence. And leave with personalized strategies to ground yourself, process emotions, and move forward with greater ease.

Join us for this special workshop with Social Emotional Resilience Trainer and Somatic Connetion Facilitator, Aaron Kahlow and special guest instructor Dr. Sharon Siegler , Certified Grief Work Facilitator and local estatic dance host.
