How many of us know how to hold everything together, but don’t know how to let ourselves be held?
We know how to push through, read the room, care for everybody and keep going. But being good at surviving doesn’t mean we feel safe.
Even when our circumstances change, we may still find ourselves bracing. Rest feels uncomfortable. Receiving love feels unfamiliar. We want to open up, but part of us stays on guard.
Healing deserves space for all of this. Understanding our stories matters, and so does tending to what we feel in our bodies, with support, consent and respect for our own pace.
As we cultivate safety, more possibilities can open: feeling without becoming overwhelmed, honoring our boundaries, receiving care, experiencing pleasure and having energy to create the life we want.
This is part of why I’m bringing women together for our Triple Vagal Method, TVM, practitioner training in Palomino, Colombia, with trainer Crystal Rainbow Mort.
TVM is a body-based approach intended to support nervous system regulation and trauma recovery. The training explores the nervous system, the vagus nerve and oxytocin’s role in bonding and connection, alongside learning practical skills to support others.
This gathering is for women drawn to somatic healing, including bodyworkers, yoga teachers and holistic practitioners who want to deepen their embodiment and bring this work into their service.
Learning, practice, sisterhood and time in nature. An opportunity to receive support while learning how to offer it.
Because we deserve more than a lifetime of holding our breath and calling it strength.
