Theresa's Short Term Groups

No man is happy unless he believes he is.
-- Publilius Syrus

"The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we're weak and sing with us when we're strong."
--Sark

These short-term weekly groups are for women who are ready to jump-start a focused exploration of a specific area of their growth and healing. These concentrated modules, experienced in a community of supportive co-journeyers, will accelerate the pace and depth of your own healing process. In addition to verbal sharing, we use a variety of processes for these inward journeys, such as body and breath exercises, art process, writing, meditation, movement, and voice work. Each 6-week session has a specific focus, such as:



Feeling at Home and Safe in Your Body

A 6-week class for developing body awareness, personal boundaries, and self-acceptance.



Undermothered Women's Healing Circle

Acknowledge, listen to, and accept our needs

Receive kind and non-judgmental empathic responses from others, a necessary step for internalizing self-love

Explore means to develop self-nourishment and soul care

Authentic Movement for Women

Authentic Movement is a subtle yet powerful process that serves as a form of body/mind therapy, as a vehicle for opening to one's creative self, and as a spiritual practice. The form itself is deceptively simple to describe yet the depth of experience is beyond words. The form consists of women moving spontaneously from their moment-by-moment inner experience (eyes closed), in the presence of one or more women witnessing from a place of unconditional acceptance and presence, without analysis or judgment. The sense of safety created by this witnessing container is palpable, and allows the movers to contact and freely express their inner experience. Afterwards, movers may draw, write, use clay, and speak to further connect themselves to their creative symbolic, spiritual lives.

This healing and enlivening practice must be experienced to be understood. Health professionals, artists, counselors, educators, and those interested in personal and spiritual growth learn to: free up the body's natural intrinsic movement potential; listen attentively to and honor the body's wisdom; open and stimulate the creative flow; and contact an inner source of fulfillment and satisfaction.
