Why Groups

We are currently living in a world that is increasingly virtual and individual. Connection, learning and growth are becoming ever more abstracted, cognitive, and removed from our sensate, embodied experience as interdependent beings. While there are extraordinary gifts and possibilities that come from one-on-one work, and the virtual world that allows us to expand beyond our local physical place and time, there is simultaneously much that is lost.

In addition, many of us, whether for personal, familial, and/or socio-cultural reasons, never experienced a sense of embodied safety while with others, or have always felt we need to do our own healing before we can connect.

Based on the understanding that, as mammals, our health requires that we have access to the embodied rhythms of ourselves, our environment, and each other in a way that does not compromise a full sense of self. Facilitated groups allow us to pause and be in growth and curiosity in proximity with others and our context such that we may move into the world with a possibility that comfort, connection, and support outside of paid support systems and in a way that does not compromise the well being of ourselves or another.

Who are these groups for?

• Those who are frustrated they only feel seen, met, and heard by the professionals they pay

• Those who want to practice connection and communication in community

• Those who haven’t found ways to be in connection without feeling depleted

• Those who are confused about what a boundary is, how to find one, or how to express one without aggression or explanation

• Those who are more comfortable with giving than receiving

• Those who fear giving becoming over giving or being exploited

• Those who are just plain curious about a different model of growth and healing outside of one-on-one therapeutics

• Practitioners who are seeking more personal support and belonging
