We are part of nature – Join us April 19
Hi everyone,
We humans have challenges for myriad reasons. I often think about how many difficulties are the first, second or third hand result of cumulative stress and unresolved trauma. It is our survival mechanism to activate the fight-flight-freeze mechanism as our primitive brain sees fit. If we are truly endangered, this is a really, really good thing. However, if we stay in this state unnecessarily, the price paid includes that we lose access to our ability to self-reflect, experience the sensations of embodiment, find pleasure in affiliative bonds, and resonate with the natural world we are part of. We lose Ubuntu.
Resolving trauma is essential for restoring healthy relationships with ourselves and each other – and – for restoring the critically important awareness that we are part of nature.
I am really looking forward to next Sunday, April 19th, when Orange County for Climate Action hosts, Enjoy and Celebrate EARTH on this DAY. Come join us for an easy hike in the wilderness, eating eco-friendly, tasty vegan meals, watching Cowspiracy, and fully letting down at the end of the day, learning Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE), walking on the beach, and taking in the beauty of the sunset together.
Warmly,
