Embodied – Understanding Childhood Trauma and Attachment Patterns

In this talk and discussion with Toni Rahman will share important understandings of childhood trauma  and attachment patterns, and how we can all refine our ability to relate in healthy, resilient, and joyful ways.  The issue of embodiment is key as our nervous system develops in certain ways due to childhood experiences, and can be reshaped as we become more aware and intentional.  From the framework of embodiment, Toni will explore a range of topics including  desire, parenting, boundaries, and intuition.

The Second Sunday Seminar is offered as a gathering rather than a lecture or teaching. The topics, are chosen for their relevance to mind, body, and spirit themes that we explore in our classes and programs.
