In recent times, there has been a surge of interest and awakening to the impact of individual, intergenerational, and collective trauma. Books like the Body Keeps the Score (which has sold millions of copies and has been a New York Times bestseller for multiple weeks on end) attest to this reality.
Join us for a one day retreat with a focus on integrating the growing body of trauma research and knowledge into the work of Illuman. The retreat will provide an introduction to the basics of polyvagal theory (which accounts for the neurophysiological basis of how we currently understand the defense systems of our bodies) AND the role and importance of biological attachment to caregivers early in life and how these early dynamics influence adult relationships. The retreat will be both informative and experiential with a practical focus. At the end of this retreat, you will walk away with tools as well as new ways to deepen into the work of Illuman through the lens of a trauma informed perspective.
This retreat will be facilitated by John Glinsman, whose passion is understanding the science of trauma and developing practical programs through a trauma informed approach. John is the founder of Deeper Well, has worked with traumatized youth and adults (including therapeutic foster care), co-created the course Polyvagal Parenting, and currently practices as a hypnotherapist.
