Living Boundary -- Awakening the Body's Wisdom

All wounding in relationship happens as the result of a breach or intrusion into one's personal boundary space leading to predator/prey behavior. In essence, sense of self and inner knowing has been lost. This experiential workshop provides skills for developing healthy boundaries and increasing awareness of the subtle interplay between mind, body, and other.

Trauma Resolution
Psychoneurobiological and Shamanic Approaches to Healing Trauma

The effects of trauma are far-reaching: chronic pain, anxiety, dissociation, mental confusion, and emotional dysregulation. Most importantly, coherence between mind, brain, and body is disrupted leading to one's inability to function from instinct and connect with the witness. The relational field of practitioner/client can facilitate a reconnection to wholeness through the right use of presence, resonance, and attunement. This workshop will explore the science and art of healing trauma. Participants will learn theoretical and practical skills to resolve traumatic symptoms and retrieve lost parts of the Self.


Trauma and the Body
A Somatic Approach to Healing Trauma

The focus of this workshop is learning to resolve states of hyper and hypo-arousal. The effects of trauma are far-reaching: chronic pain, anxiety, dissociation, mental confusion, and emotional dysregulation. Most importantly, coherence between mind, brain, and body is disrupted leading to one's inability to function from instinct and connect with the witness.

This workshop is designed for somatic therapists (Body-workers, Chiropractors, Acupuncturists and Physical Therapists). We will explore how the "power of touch" can resolve traumatic symptoms and facilitate a reconnection to wholeness.



With over thirty years of teaching and clinical experience, William Smythe, M.A., is a pioneer in the fields of Somatic Psychology and Rolfing®.
