Do you find yourself thinking: “If he/she changed, everything would be all right.” Or “I feel so empty and lost, who am I?” If so, codependency may be at the root. Growing up in unhealthy environments and in an unhealthy society produces adverse trauma responses in our minds and bodies. We learn that our wants and needs are below others and that boundaries are selfish, keeping our nervous system in hyperdrive, making us feel unworthy which makes it difficult to heal. Join us as we explore how codependency may be impacting our lives and the steps we can take to recover from trauma. This class will include meditation and journaling.

Soothing the Body/Mind/Spirit with Frankincense Essential Oil April 15
2021-04-15 19:00 - 20:00
Traumatic events have many effects on the body, mind and spirit. Often, a holistic approach using a variety of modalities promotes the greatest healing. Healing from trauma happens in layers. As our minds heal, deeper layers are allowed to come to the surface. Until then, we are sometimes unaware of how the trauma has affected us on a conscious level. Gentle, non-invasive techniques encourage our body/mind/spirit to strengthen and heal each step of the way. Certified pure tested grade (CPTG) essential oils can be highly effective in calming the mind, body and spirit in a safe, cost-effective way. One of the most effective essential oils for this is Frankincense. Each participant will receive a sample of Frankincense oil so they can experience the effects for themselves.

Three ways to use CPTG Essential Oils

Laughter is good for the soul!
This familiar saying holds more truth than we often give it credit. You might think that laughter and trauma are an odd combination. Trauma can change our brain chemistry, the way we view ourselves, and interact with the world. This can increase both mental and physical health struggles. How is laughter going to help all of that?
Research has shown that laughter has many health benefits including stress reduction, increased immunity, pain reduction, increased resilience, and improved moods. Humor offers the ability to look at things from an alternate perspective and adds a sense of control in regulating emotions. Through the humor and laughter of improvisation, kids will learn how to be mindful of the moment, listen, work cooperatively, be flexible, accept mistakes, and to trust themselves and others.
Improvisation is a form of comedy that anyone can participate in; it is the art of saying yes! Simply by learning to be present and saying yes, improv teaches kids valuable skills with the added bonus of laughter. Through this course, kids can improve their self-confidence in a non-judgmental environment filled with fun and games.
Everyone is welcome. Let’s play!

Grow & Let Go of the Effects of Trauma in Your Life with Kami Lerma
There are times in life when we may feel stuck, when no matter what we do, we can’t seem to free ourselves from our circumstances enough to move on. It’s not always an overarching sensation. Sometimes it’s focused on just one area of our lives. Whatever the circumstance, having a better understanding of our need to heal and the process for healing parts of ourselves can allow us to break free.
