Discussion on New Moon in Sagittarius

Hello Dear Ones,

Emily Lamoureux and I are going to be leading a talk on the New Moon in Sag. on Monday November 21st at 7 pm Eastern time. It will be live, online, on Zoom. I will post the link soon.

The recording will be available within a week after our live talk.

In addition, we will also discuss some of the meaning around the Eclipses we just came through, I will lead a couple of easy somatic exercises (Sagittarius themed), and if there is time, we will even get into Mars square Neptune.

We hope to see you there!

Trauma Informed Astrology Teachable site is open

Hello Dear Ones,

I am happy to announce that we have gotten the T.I. Astrology Teachable site published and public. With that said, we are still working on course content for the first course: Nervous System Foundations.

You can visit the site here: https://traumainformedastrology.teachable.com/p/ns-foundations-sales

We are offering an Early Bird discount between now and January 15th (the planned completion date of all the course material, demos and videos). You can purchase the course for $550 with that discount. Then after that date, it will convert to $650 for the course.

This first course lays a solid groundwork for unpacking the astrology chart in the next (the second) course. We will add some astrological correlations in this first course, however, it is our intention to make Nervous System Foundations accessible to many different types of practitioners – yoga teachers, sacred circle space holders, New Moon Circle wisdom keepers, life coaches, etc. Anyone who wants to move toward becoming trauma informed is welcome!

By having the first course be so foundational, if you are interested in deepening your astrology wisdom AND you have some training in working with nervous system repair, let us know. You might be able to skip the first class. But there is awesome material in there. Check it out!

Thank you for joining us on this journey!

Vital steps on the path of healing facilitation

Hello Dear Ones,

A friend recently asked, about my work, “What do you do?”

And I responded, “Well, I am surprised by how much happens, the less I do.” This just came out spontaneously.

I could not be happier with this response. It implies that there is more being, and less doing. Hopefully I am embodying the statement, “the slower we go, the faster we will get there.”

I love the work I “do” – nervous system repair, trauma resolution, embodiment coaching, holding sacred space, birth process work and early developmental resourcing. Plus I blend all of this with Western Astrology, creating a unique blend that I call Trauma Informed Astrology. You can see more at the site: http://www.traumainformedastrology.com

When I listen to a client’s nervous system (making contact pretty much anywhere on their body – usually starting with shoulder and a knee), I am in big spacious presence. I don’t have an agenda, or not much of one. We are primarily working with the client’s intention – which we might spend 5 or 10 minutes refining and clarifying. Energy follows intention, so we keep coming back to that resource.

Whether we do Craniosacral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Integral Somatic Psychology (deepening emotional embodiment) or another modality, I always try to listen with my light body. To offer huge spaciousness and well-wishing. And resting in organic healing rhythms. Which in this day and age, is remarkably rare.

Just to feel seen, and heard, and met is big. Regulated, settled, therapeutic presence is not easy to come by. Realizing that the client, no matter what storminess or waves are on the surface, has a huge ocean of innate health within them, is vital. It is my intention to lean into Source connection as I silently invite them to do the same, even as we might be doing specific interventions to move energy and emotion and journey toward their smaller doable-today-intention.

The beauty of this “work” is that it can be done over long distance. We can still feel and appreciate being seen, even over Zoom. Considering I have been practicing Craniosacral Therapy since 2005, I can even include some of those techniques over distance.

Your body wants to heal. Energy and emotion want to move – we just have to notice and dissolve the defenses and resistance to doing so. We are not our restless mind. We are not our overwhelming stress. We are not the chronic tension in our shoulders or neck. We are so much more than this. We yearn for freedom and joy. And working with a competent healing facilitator is very beneficial for moving through stuck or confusing spaces, to get to greater spaciousness, energy flow, groundedness.

If we make the intention, within or without, to truly move toward well-being, we will start to make changes in our lives. And not just an-hour-a-day-move-toward-well-being, but I want to actually get healthy. This means I am committed to listening to and honoring my body and its needs. And letting go of what no longer serves me.

I have been on this path since 2005. It has been an extraordinarily rewarding, not always easy 17 years. I am so glad that I have made the commitment to move toward health and well-being on a daily basis. Getting there takes time! And I am human, I make mistakes, I don’t have all the answers. Occasionally, I take a little step backwards. Thankfully, I am more kind to myself today. So when I am ready, I can easily take two steps forward and continue benefiting people. In spite of this potent sounding message, I also try to remain humble and down-to-earth.

Wisdom is in the body. It is not merely in the mind. Unlocking our potent reservoir of inherent wisdom and healing is possible (at least for the vast majority of us). Do you want to just be less miserable? Or do you want to move toward greater freedom and spaciousness and spontaneity?

Let me know if you want to join me on this path of radical kindness and tenderness toward self. Of self-compassion, forgiveness and strengthening connections to Source.

I don’t just want you to feel better, I want you to get better.

New Moon Gatherings to get Trauma Informed Astrology started

Hello Dear Ones,

After chewing on several options for how to get Trauma Informed Astrology off the ground (thank you for your interest over the past few months!), Emily and I have decided on doing a two-hour New Moon Gathering, where we will share some Somatic Exercises and information about the new moon in Scorpio. And we will have time for questions about T.I. Astrology.

This will be a free session, online on Zoom. The plan is to do several of these – one in November, another in January. The New Moon in December is very close to the holidays in the U.S., so we will see if we want to have more spaciousness that month.

Then we will start some courses in the new year – by early 2023.

We will announce the October date soon. Most likely during the weekend of the 22nd / 23rd.

Let us know if you have questions or to express interest.

Astrological Mentoring, Interpretations, 25-min free consults available

Hello Dear Ones,

As we continue to plan what Trauma Informed Astrology classes to teach and when (thanks for your patience!), I just want to put out there that I am having a lot of success with mentoring astrologers. When it comes to questions about the nervous system, what are some techniques I can use with a challenging client situation, shedding more light on birth process work (how are early developmental challenges affecting my client?) etc, that is where my background comes in very handy. Plus, if astrologers want to work on their own “stuff” as it were – I am happy to support your nervous system, to support you with process work, and to help you weave nervous system elements into greater astrological insight and awareness.

Let me know if you want to schedule a free 25-min consultation to see if working together is a good fit. This is a conversation about your intentions and a little about your history. We would discuss more astrology in a future appt if you want to work with me. You can schedule here: https://wisdomhealingtherapies.schedulista.com/

And I also have some Monday afternoons and occasional Saturday appts available (Eastern time).

I hope to hear from you soon! And may our transition into fall be easy and graceful.

“Seeds of Resilience” – A Somatic Approach to Trauma Informed Astrology

Hello Readers,

I have been busy with bodywork, leading Somatics classes, and enjoying a couple weeks of vacation the past two months. It has been just what my nervous system needs – a rejuvenating blend of spacious self-care and sharing healing wisdom. I am very grateful to be able to benefit others (and I continue to learn and grow as I offer emotional-process-oriented bodywork!).

I love the embodiment side of nervous system repair. The body has all the answers (or at least many more than the controlling left-brain thinks it has). And we can learn how to playfully and skillfully come down out of our heads and into the compassion of our hearts and the potency of our pelvis. In fact, if we get all three centers in alignment – head, heart, and pelvis, then that is a fine thing indeed!

Hence the title above. I am yearning to lead a workshop incorporating Somatic Techniques and Exercises to Move Toward Well-being. We will still discuss how each exercise is better suited for different Astrology signs and aspects, so participants will get a lot out of this class – both deepened awareness in the body and some didactic astrological learning as well.

Come down out of your head.

Lean into “Less is Better than More.”

Breath in playful easy spaciousness.

Experience how “the Slower we go, the Faster we will get there.”

Be surrounded by good company.

Learn what it means when we say, “More ground, less effort”.

More to follow soon!

Thank you for joining us on this journey!
