Or perhaps you want to better understand your own individual mental health journey. We can often feel overwhelmed and unable to see our role in the problem.

Feeling Stuck? Struggling with turning points of your life? Trauma is pervasive in our society in varying degrees and intensities. If you’ve been working hard to resolve the anxiety that go with early and middle life. Perhaps you should consider Intensive retreat. We work 6 hours person-to-person per day in three or five days to break through the impasse. Trauma (of any intensity) can impair the ability to imagine, particularly to imagine an open future.

I believe that we can only begin the journey toward wholeness by uncovering the roots of suffering. Then, we can heal by integrating the unconscious aspects of ourselves and our experiences into the conscious fullness of who we are as human beings.
