In person groups to begin in November 2021 - NE Portland
Dear humans,
I have been in search of an office space and recently found one that might just be the one. It is spacious and open and the best part is the windows open so we can circulate fresh air. Fingers crossed!
My vision for group work has been a long time coming. I have decided to move forward with this dream of witnessing people heal people in spite of the uncertainty around covid life. Below are the groups I plan to offer. Please email me if you are interested or have questions, please forward to anyone you know who may need this in their life right now.
1. Process Group: The intention here is to dive into the traumas related with family of origin. This group is for people struggling with deep seated issues stemming from first relationships (family members) that continue to hinder them in adulthood. ((Relational Trauma that looks like Difficulty with Maintaining Relationships, Poor Communication, Fear of Emotional Intimacy, Fear of Commitment, Self Sabotaging Behaviors).
This is a long term group with a commitment of at least 3 months and ideally you would invest in this group for 9 months if you would like to feel and see real transformation. This is a closed group - same people show up for one another once a week for 2 hours to work on whatever presents itself for each participant on that particular day. There are no topics presented, just real life experiences being shared & processed together. We are working to Be Seen, Heard, and Felt by this new family we have formed and made a commitment to.
*New participants will only be allowed to enter if something within the original group changes – for instance someone has to leave the group because they are moving or there has been a major life change that prohibits further attendance.
**This group is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, November 3rd and will run every Wednesday from 7 to 9pm.
2. Meditation Group: This is a 6 week closed group. Same participants join each week for 6 weeks.
The intention is to assist people in understanding the importance of meditation in daily life to help manage the mental and emotional being while also dive into the physical by learning more about the brain, body, and spiritual being. This group is focused around Conscious Transformations by diving into the book called The Inner Matrix which touches on all aspects of the SELF. I like to think of it as a Life Handbook. It is informative and insightful while the meditations practiced in this group are transformational. This is for people who want to learn how to meditate and are eager to incorporate this practice for cultivating an overall sense of well-being and confidence to be & do life.
**date/time for this group is TBD. This will be a group that is offered 4 times each year so if you happen to miss the first one, you can sign up for another.
3. Girls Teen Group: This is a 6 week closed group. Same participants join each week for 6 weeks.
The intention is to create a safe space for teens to connect and be in community as they learn about how mindfulness helps us to focus our attention, expand our awareness, and flex the muscle of practicing kindness towards SELF & others. Participants will experience the healing that comes from feeling empathy FOR others and receiving FROM others. This is an opportunity for self exploration & collaboration to change & grow through acquiring tools for managing & caring for the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical being.
**date/time for this group is TBD. This will be a group that is offered 2 times each year so if you happen to miss the first one, you can sign up for another. My vision is to mix things up to offer a group to teen boys and perhaps a preteen group as well.
