A TRF Tuesday Event
Overview of the Program
Traumas, or wounds, are initiations that demand of you to cross the threshold between light and dark, order and chaos, oneness and separation, ordinary and extraordinary worlds. Myths are maps meant to help you navigate the crossing from the descent into your personal underworld, your subconscious, to the ascent up to your Mount Olympus, home to the gods and your conscious mind.
Deep-seated wisdom is encoded in the ancient Greek language of these myths and preserved like a time capsule over thousands of years. We have combined this ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge, healing modalities that include but are not limited to Internal Family Systems, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Mindfulness.
You will experience five myths over five sessions, each a call to adventure:
Week 1: Medusa and Perseus
Week 2: Sisyphus
Week 3: Minotaur and Theseus
Week 4: Chiron
Week 5: Odysseus
