No family is perfectly healthy. Every family is dysfunctional to a certain extent.
The personalities of children are formed by absorbing the mental and emotional patterns of the people around them, especially their parents. Distorted perceptions about self and others are imprinted into the children’s psyche, because their parents have unsound emotional patterns such as depression and aggression. Children energetically inherit their parents’ issues. Children feel, from their perspective, that they are being abandoned by those from whom they want to receive kind attention and love. Deep fear and hopelessness is silently embedded in their minds. As a result of trauma received in a very crucial period in their development, the rest of their lives are seriously affected in many ways, for instance, in the issue of self-sabotage (“There must be something wrong with me”), of distrust (“No one understands me”), of pessimism (“Something bad is going to happen”) and of isolation (“It is not OK to ask for help”).

Your sub-personality, an inner child, is deeply wounded. To recover from it, you need to feel your sadness and anger, which have been repressed for a long time. As those emotions are experienced and recognized, the negative energy behind it is released, and healing can occur. You cannot complete this emotional discharge solely, because it is too painful to touch. Group support is really essential for you to fearlessly feel your pain. This workshop has been created to provide a safe environment for every participant. We will energetically support each other, assuring that no one will be rejected from expressing his/her fear, anger, hurt, rage and/or shame.

The key for your healing process is to invite your Higher-Self into your trauma. No matter how terrible your childhood experience might be, there is a part of you that remains unencumbered and untouched. That part is your Soul, True-Self, or the Ground, and it is pure, and filled with unconditional love. As your wounded inner child is embraced by the pure essence of your being, it will be healed and matured. Consequently, you, as an adult, will be healed as well. All of the processes at this workshop, seeking your spiritual transformation, will help you to call in the gracious help of your Higher-Self.

At this workshop, we will engage in:
• Practice: Releasing repressed emotions
• Meditation: Merging into the Higher-Self
• Affirmation: Forgiving yourself and your parents
• Group Healing Work: Embracing the wounded inner child with the love of Soul
