What is this Training?
This comprehensive two-day workshop is designed for tantric bodywork practitioners, group facilitators, therapists, and caregivers who work closely with individuals in deeply human contexts. Rooted in the latest research on trauma and its profound impact on the nervous system, this training integrates the principles of Trauma responses, Function, Flow, Glow, polyvagal-theaory, and Attachment Theory to offer a transformative learning experience. Participants will gain essential insights into trauma-informed care, equipping them with practical and somatic tools to foster healing, growth, and empowerment while ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for their clients or loved ones.
Why Trauma-Informed Tantra?
Traditional tantric practices are powerful, yet they can overwhelm or retraumatize participants if their past experiences of trauma are not adequately addressed. Trauma-informed tantra, on the other hand, honors the individual’s pace and emotional capacity, ensuring that they are not pushed beyond what they can comfortably process. This approach acknowledges that trauma is common, and creating an environment of safety, trust, and empowerment is essential for genuine healing and transformation.
By understanding trauma’s impact on the brain and nervous system—particularly the fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses—participants will learn to identify signs of distress and apply practical techniques to regulate the nervous system, fostering calm and integration.
What to Expect
This workshop offers an in-depth exploration of trauma-informed care within the context of tantric bodywork and group facilitation. Participants will engage with cutting-edge insights into neurobiology, nervous system regulation, and emotional safety, including:
-- The Window of Tolerance: Learn how to recognize when clients are in a state conducive to healing and when they are overwhelmed, ensuring that the practices remain effective and safe.
-- Polyvagal Theory: Understand how the vagus nerve governs responses to safety and threat, and learn how to foster social engagement and connection through this understanding.
-- Trauma Responses: Explore the nuances of trauma, including fight, flight, freeze, fawn, dissociation, avoidance, and overachieving, and how they manifest in therapeutic settings.
For Whom is this Training?
-- This training is ideal for professionals who are dedicated to working with the complexities of the human experience:
-- Tantric bodywork practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of trauma and create safer, more effective sessions.
-- Group facilitators wishing to incorporate trauma-informed principles to ensure safety and trust within their workshops.
-- Therapists and caregivers looking to expand their toolkit with trauma-sensitive techniques that promote resilience and healing.
-- Whether you are an experienced practitioner or new to the concept of trauma-informed care, this training will enrich your professional practice and personal development. It provides a unique opportunity to transform how you engage with trauma, ensuring that your work supports the healing, empowerment, and flourishing of those you serve.
Core Topics Include:
-- Understanding the neurobiology of trauma and the autonomic nervous system.
-- Recognizing and addressing trauma responses like dissociation, overachievement, and relational trauma.
-- The role of facilitators in maintaining a safe, trauma-informed environment.
-- Tools for managing intense emotions and grounding techniques during bodywork or group sessions.
-- How to apply the Function, Flow, and Glow framework to support healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
