The Heart of Reconnection: The Thread That Weaves Modern Science with Ancient Wisdom - 7 CE's
About this Event

From our earliest beginnings, human beings have sought deeper truth and meaning. It started first in connection to the forces of nature, then in the hearts and souls of the people, to more recently in science, and more specifically the brain. This workshop will explore the heart brain connection and its importance in resolution of trauma. It will also include current research and practical application of ancient and modern interventions to support trauma healing. We will introduce several heart-centered practices using breath, ceremony, SoulCollage® and the Labyrinth, along with various ritual practices that will offer a deeper intuitive understanding of the greater choices in learning and responses to life that move us closer to healing and wellness.

Join Integrative Life Center and Begin Again Institute for a day of connection, expansion and healing as we move through a three-part event examining the thread that weaves ancient wisdom with modern science in the treatment of trauma.

PART ONE

Original Disconnection: The Neurophysiological Connection Between Trauma and Disordered Intimacy

Presented By: Michael Barta, Ph.D., LPC, CSAT - S

In this presentation, Dr. Michael Barta will demonstrate how developmental trauma disorders the brain causing the individual to lose connection with the authentic self and the world. Using a neurophysiological lens, Dr. Barta will guide and educate the participant through an interactive exercise that will allow participants to discover how trauma affects the ability to bond and live with full authenticity and vulnerability.

Objectives:

  • Participants will identify how developmental trauma changes the normal function of the autonomic nervous system.
  • Participants will recite two ways in which trauma affects the ability to live authentically.
  • Participants will discuss three ways to address developmental trauma to restore vulnerability, authenticity and intimacy.

PART TWO

Heart Re-connection: How to Reconnect with Self after a Trauma

Presented by: Holly Cook, LPC-MHSP and Lee McCormickTrauma is not about what happened to us. It is about what happened inside of us when the traumatic event occurred. The subsequent disconnection from Self can result in behavioral patterns that have impacted and distorted perceptions and the relationship to self and the world. This portion of the workshop will focus on how the creation of a wounded self, interferes with how we experience the world around us, and how to reconnect with the Authentic Self, through the use of meditation, breath, labyrinth and Indigenous influenced practices.

Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to identify how trauma impacts early attachment.
  • Participants will be able to identify 3 grounding practices using meditation and the breath.
  • Participants will verbalize an understanding of the importance of Reconnection to Self through a practice of recognizing his/her needs, identifying how his/her relationship to Self has been impacted and create a practice of self-healing that can be used in therapy with clients.
  • Participants will identify the 3 R's and stages of a Labyrinth Walk
  • Participants will verbalize an understanding of how walking the labyrinth is used as a tool for ritual and healing and as a spiritual tool that has many applications in various settings.

PART THREE
