My Recent Shifts Around Supporting and Relating

A guest post by Theo Kitchener, originally written as an open letter to friends and family. So I recently went to Innate Wisdom Connection's three week Deep Changer retreat, and holy shit it was life changing. I came out feeling really comfortable with my emotions, in a way that, even though I'd been trying earlier, I just couldn't. Much of the theory was the same as what I'd been practicing before. But one of the major things that had been missing, was the sense of community creating safe space for feeling things. I really needed that, in order to really feel comfortable to drop into that emotional space. It was a huge process, to have found a taste of what emotionally safe space in community...

Emotions and the Healing of Trauma

According to Professor Stan Grof, trauma healing comes from finally completing an experience emotionally that may have been physically completed long ago. The initial moment of pain may have become so overwhelming that we make a subconscious decision to ‘check out’; in other words, we emotionally dissociate. Every part of us screams “Stop, I don’t want to feel this!” The problem is that we don’t stop the emotional experience, we just press pause. When we don’t have the courage or skills (because we are too young, or were never taught ((or it wasn’t safe)) ) to actually feel all of the emotions of a traumatic experience, we inadvertently trap the part of it we couldn’t handle, and store it away for later. - Jonathan Davies, NY Times These stored emotions...

Healing

I often get asked what books I recommend for people on their journey of healing. There are a few in the two Resources pages on this website, but here is a somewhat longer list: Some of the first books I read in this vein were by the psychiatrist and teacher M. Scott Peck, and they are still classics and a great starting point for many. Start with The Road Less Traveled - and then go on to read A Different Drum - a wonderful book about community; and People of the Lie - a classic work about the nature of evil. Basically I'd recommend anything he has written, and it is very approachable and readable. A few other classics Homecoming by John Bradshaw  - a great course in...

Shadow Work

Shamanic

“Why work with the shadow?” Because there are unconscious forces driving our lives that if we bring into awareness we: - Have choices to transform - Are empowered to heal ourselves and the world - Connect the dots around many confusing aspects of our past and present - Remember and integrate hidden parts of ourselves - Reconnect more fully to who we are and what we are here for - Accept and be present with others and their shadows - Open to much that can expand and evolve our lives What is it? The Shadow can be seen as that which we have had to, or chosen, to push away, avoid, disown, reject in ourselves. Very often it’s what we don’t like in others (far easier to see others’ shadows than our own). When...

Ayahuasca

Righto, here it is, the post that has needed to be written for a while. I get a lot of queries and requests for ayahuasca and other plant journeys. It’s become a trend that has some benefits to some people and some non-benefits to some people. We often do Shamanic Healings and Journeys. It depends on who is there and the spirits. They never involve plants or ingesting anything. We don’t ingest any plants. Very few shamanic traditions included plant-controlled journeys. You have better control and clarity on journeys with drums, rattles or other ways into altered states...
