Despair after a near fatal accident in 2019 was the invitation I needed to awaken to what matters most. After trying traditional forms of therapy - therapy that I’ve been trained in - it was time for something more immersive that could help me associate to the trauma I experienced and heal from it.
After a few years of ignoring the constant finger tapping on my shoulder reminding me what was underneath the surface, I enrolled in the Psychedelic Somatic Institute apprenticeship training. Having gone through this in-depth work, afterwards my body feels more present than ever, and my relationship with impermanence is in a healthy place.
