This is an amazing workshop which I highly recommend – I would encourage anyone considering it to speak to the presenter personally to find out whether it is a good fit for them in where they are in their lives and/or their potential recovery from sexual trauma, or other kinds of pelvic pain, dysfunction, or interrupted experience.Here is the link to the workshop page: http://www.healingfromthecore.com/womenonly.shtml

Potential

 

WEEK OF JULY 28-AUGUST 4

$900.00 – $4,975.00

WORKSHOP DETAILS

“As women we have a unique power of creativity in our reproductive system,” Suzanne Scurlock-Durana writes. “That power is used not only to create new life, but also to bring personal projects into being. However, that energy can be blocked by physical, emotional, or spiritual trauma to the pelvic floor and the female organs. This workshop for women uses guided imagery, movement, and hands-on exercises (while clothed) to heal the pelvic floor, including the vagina and uterus, places that often hold our deepest wounds: sexual abuse, rape, abortions, childbirth tearing and scars, self-esteem, and negative images about our femininity. Because self-knowledge is important, scientific and anatomic information will be presented.”This workshop offers a rare opportunity for deep healing. During these seven days you can experience new possibilities for renewed feminine energy, greater health, and a deeper sense of pleasure in being a woman. We will spend time exploring nature and how our connection to the earth can deepen our connection to ourselves. The workshop will culminate with an evening of nurturing at the Esalen natural hot spring baths.” This course is valuable for healthcare professionals and anyone wishing to learn alternative approaches to women’s health.Required reading and listening: Read Full Body Presence and listen to the audio portion (available from Healing From the Core at 703-620-4509, or at www.healingfromthecore.comor www.fullbodypresence.com).Recommended reading: Ogden, The Return of Desire and The Heart and Soul of Sex; Berman and Berman, For Women Only; Williamson, A Woman’s Worth; Northrup, Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.
