Regardless of your chosen framework of psychotherapy, this training will provide you with a basic competency in several earth-based practices that can be woven into the model(s) you presently use. These can be used for any emotional issue: Depression, trauma, anxiety, anger/resentment, fear, self worth or to enhance your positive aspects such as resilience, courage, determination, humor, creativity.
Cultures across the world have utilized earth-based practices for thousands of years. These rituals are rooted in intuition, felt sense and a connection with the earth, spirit and their powerful forces. These concrete and embodied rituals can be integrated with the mentalizing focus of modern psychotherapy. The course explores practical methods for bringing these modern psychotherapy and ancient healing practices together.
For example you will learn how to use the four elements. Note that all elements possess properties that can be used for letting go and bringing in.
Students will receive a Certificate of Completion in a pdf format.
Note:
This program will be offered online. Sessions of all our online programs will be recorded and shared with registrants after each is completed for 90 days.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN Schedule: Unit 1: September 11, 2021
An overview of earth-based rituals and how it can be incorporated into your existing psychotherapy practice. Discussion of the 4 elements, what are their properties and how they can be used in assisting the therapeutic process. For example: the belief that everything has consciousness and that their energy can be accessed to help us bring in and discharge emotions, beliefs, etc.
Unit 2: September 18, 2021
Utilizing the elements (earth, water, air, and fire) in the therapeutic process to foster change and growth in our clients.
Unit 3: September 25, 2021
Incorporating power animals and guides as allies in the therapeutic process. Many ancient cultures believe that there are many non-human and even non-embodied beings that are here to help us, guide us and protect us. This unit introduces this world view and allows participants to experiment and experience their helpers/guides etc.
Unit 4: October 2, 2021
Healing intergenerational trauma and legacy burdens. Assisting clients in releasing the burden of intergenerational trauma and legacy burdens. It is now well documented (Hubl, Van Der Kolk etc.) that we carry beliefs and burdens that have been passed down from our lineage and our culture. This module offers a technique to both connect and release those beliefs and burdens through a journey exercise (similar to a guided meditation or hypnotherapy induction) and how to release it to earth, water, fire, air.
Unit 5: October 9, 2021
Clearing our emotional DNA from negative beliefs and traumas that impact our day-to-day lives. Beyond our personal life experiences and learnings. It is now scientifically documented (can’t remember where) that we carry both physical and emotional DNA from previous incarnations. Whether this is true or not, most people I’ve worked with who hold fears, worries, beliefs etc., that make no sense to them can access the etiology of those beliefs from a past life. Again, whether it’s true or not, it seems to create a sense of freedom from those beliefs and decisions that do not serve in this life.
Unit 6: October 16, 2021
Exploring the role of physical pain in the psychotherapeutic process and how to use the previous practices to help understand and minimize those physical manifestations by holding them in a different light. Creating ceremonies to support clients in discharging, reclaiming, recognizing and/or anchoring emotional and therapeutic gains. This module is a bit of a review and a chance for participants to ask practical questions about how to use these practices in their work.
