“Blocked trust is the reason for blighted dreams.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, author

A Group Journey in 2022
6 Wednesday evenings | Jan 26 to April 6

In these trying times, where fear and anxiety are rampant and we struggle to not get caught up in anger or despair, the word "trust" may not initially seem to resonate. And yet, only when we can sink into the safety and openness of trusting relationships (with Self and Other) can we find our equilibrium, reclaiming a sense of peace and perhaps even happiness. Join us in exploring our mental and somatic patterns of connection and protection while discovering the path to deepened trust.
