Afraid to Stop: The Momentum of the Separate Self

Trauma Informed

The momentum of the survival self is fueled by the activation of the Fight/Flight/Freeze survival mechanism in the nervous system. If you have experienced trauma or chronic stress it may seem impossible to stop and settle into the moment. There is no point in putting pressure on a system that is already under pressure. During this event I will be teaching you some slow and simple practices that will support your system to slow down and come to rest.

“Candace embodies gentleness, warmth and sincerity that invites settling and deep rest. The nurturing slowness and softness of her voice communicates, “it’s safe here. Her particular focus on the role of the nervous system in healing trauma and spiritual awakening allows her students to meet the past slowly and safely as it arises in the unconditional body of right now.”

Candace will guide the group in gentle neurosensory (nervous system) practices and engage in dialogue and questions with participants.

“Thank you for guiding us. Your guidance is like a lantern in the dark woods.
I am so grateful that even though you play the role of a teacher you are always a person first. I love and appreciate that about you! ~ Participant

I look forward to welcoming you into this safe and sacred space.
