SUMMARY:Simple and Here: The Beloved Nature of Right Now
DESCRIPTION:Simple and Here:  The Beloved Nature of Right Now\nAn 8 week online course created by Trauma Therapist\, Organic Intelligence Certified Coach and experienced Nervous System Practitioner Candace Kirby. \n\nArriving\nOur Nature of Loving Presence\nThe Impact of Trauma on the Physiology\nCreature Nature: Fight Flight and Freeze\nOrientation; Attunement and Finding our Ground Here Together\nSoft body: Welcoming Ourselves Home.\nThe Tenderness of our True Nature\nUnconditioned Grace\n\nTrauma-safe and nervous system-informed practices.\nJoin Candace and a small group of friends for this 8 week transformative online course as we shift the orientation of our lives from Survival to Presence.  This is a journey of arriving\, over and over again\, in the present moment.  Because so many of us carry the impact of development trauma we feel a great disconnect from our nature of Presence.  Presence is always here and yet we are somewhere else lost in the reactivity of past and the future. \nThe unintegrated past obscures our view of reality.  \nThis online series will provide clear understanding\, direction and clarity for attuning to the needs of the traumatized physiology while gently supporting the nervous system to recognize safety and align with the nature of the present moment. \n\n“The essence of your meetings brings this visual to mind. We’re all on an open boat that you’re gently and effortless paddling. We’re in beautiful peaceful waters amidst lush and lovely natural surroundings. You’re in no hurry\, going here\, then perhaps idling\, going there\, and pointing out the beautiful scenery around us\, and pointing gently to the landscapes inside us\, as if there were no difference. Sometimes there is joy\, sometimes there are tears\, and always there is what is…” ~ Participant \n\nThe impact of trauma is experienced in our diminished capacity to recognize reality as simply what is without an overlay.  In service to survival we forget our nature of peaceful and compassionate presence. Through no fault of our own we lost our sense of connection to the sacred nature of the present moment and feel caught in the survival currents of intensity and complexity. We are adrift and longing to be anchored here and resting in our own hearts. The momentum of our lives is reduced to managing complexity; intensity and fearing outcomes rather than being grounded here in the simple\, ordinary and peaceful nature of right now. This is the human condition. \nOver the course of eight sessions\, you will be learning to listen and tend to what your traumatized system really needs to settle into it’s natural state of ease and receptivity. You will learn to orient your physiology towards safety and provide a reliable anchor into the present moment. This groundwork is essential to your traumatized physiology. You will learn how to dissolve the tension\, bracing and contractions in the body with your compassionate presence; gentle attunement and steady devotion. \n\n“One of the most subtly profound and gently deep experiences I have ever had has been joining you in this workshop. Thank you so much.” ~ Participant \n\nAs your orientation begins to shift from identification with the survival self and forcing and fighting against the momentum of past trauma you will begin to come into a greater alignment with all that is right now. You will begin to notice that providing the proper conditions for undigested trauma patterns in the physiology begins to call forward qualities that were lying dormant in your psyche. The traumatized system will not settle for anything less than what it needs which is what it didn’t get in childhood. Gentleness; presence; attunement; patience; slowness; softness; consistency; compassion; protection; love and devotion. \nDuring this course\, Candace invites you to:\n\nRecognize and identify your unchanging nature of infinite Presence.\nSee urgency; complexity and reactivity as symptoms of the survival system.\nExplore your connection to the ground in the present moment.\nFind safety through the reiteration of simple neurosensory practices.\nCome into relationship with your traumatized physiology by attuning to unmet needs of the past.\nLearn unconditional grace for the traumatized system.\nAllow your trust to deepen and your devotional heart to open naturally as a result of these practices.\n\nWith attuned teachings; slow and gentle repetition and simple neurosensory practices you will learn to: \n\nPause and listen.\nRecognize home as right here.\nDiscern between past and present.\nFind safety in the present moment.\nRecognize the difference between complexity and simplicity.\nListen to and recognize what your physiology needs.\nBe attuned to the past as it’s still living in your physiology and to the quiet nature of present moment.\nMove with the natural impulses of contraction and expansion instead of against them.\nLearn to trust the present moment as the sacred ground of tending to the past and awakening your devotional heart.\nEmbrace tenderness and compassion as messengers of mercy to the body.\n\nWhat to Expect:\nEach session offers a blend of teachings\, guided practices\, optional sharing and listening exercises\, and interactive questions and answers. \nRegistration includes: \n\nAccess to all 8 live classes.\nAll class audio recordings.\nWeekly homework practices and primings for upcoming topics.\n\nTo arrange e-transfer payment for Canadian participants email candace@candacekirby.ca. \nIf cost is a barrier please message me.  I am happy to arrange a payment plan that fits within your budget.

SUMMARY:Healing Trauma and Awakening the Devotional Heart
DESCRIPTION:Trauma-safe and nervous system-informed practices.\nJoin Candace and a small group of friends for a transformative journey into Healing Trauma and Awakening the Devotional Heart. This online series will provide clarity\, direction and support for attuning to the traumatized physiology with gentle curiosity and a compassionate heart. \n\n“Thank you so much for your insights and loving\, tender and slow pace. For helping us learn how to listen and respond with kindness to our nervous system.”~ Participant \n\nThe imprint of trauma lives in the body as an over zealous\, protective\, highly reactive and primal impulse. It sends messages from the past that often have nothing to do with what is really happening. Those of us on a spiritual path eventually discover that all of our spiritual insights and practices have little impact on this highly activated system. This is a point of impasse for many of us as we are faced with the reality that spiritual bypass is no longer an option if we want to live an authentic and embodied life. \nOver the course of eight sessions\, you will be learning to listen and tend to what your traumatized system really needs to settle into it’s natural state of ease and receptivity. You will learn to orient your physiology towards safety and provide a reliable anchor into the present moment. This groundwork is essential to your traumatized physiology. You will learn how to dissolve the tension\, bracing and contractions in the body with your compassionate presence; gentle attunement and steady devotion. \nAs your orientation begins to shift from forcing and fighting against the “past” you will begin to come into a greater align with all that is right now. You will begin to notice that tending to undigested trauma begins to call forward qualities that were lying dormant in your psyche. The traumatized system will not settle for anything less than what it needs which is what it didn’t get in childhood. Gentleness; presence; attunement; patience; slowness; softness; consistency; compassion; protection; love and devotion. \nDuring this course\, Candace invites you to:\n\nRecognize and identify the unchanging qualities of Presence.\nSee urgency; complexity and reactivity as symptoms of the survival system.\nExplore your connection to the ground and the present moment.\nFind safety through the reiteration of simple experiential practices.\nCome into relationship with your traumatized physiology.\nAttune to the needs of your undigested past.\nLearn unconditional grace for the traumatized system.\nAllow your devotional heart to open naturally as a result of these practices.\n\nWith attuned teachings; slow and gentle repetition and simple neurosensory practices you will learn to:\n\nPause and listen.\nRecognize home as right here.\nDiscern between past and present.\nFind safety in the present moment.\nRecognize the difference between complexity and simplicity.\nListen to and recognize what your physiology needs.\nBe attuned to the past as it’s still living in your physiology and to the quiet nature of present moment.\nMove with the natural impulses of contraction and expansion instead of against them.\nCome to know that contraction isn’t only a movement towards protection but an impulse towards rest; retreat; slowness; quiet; contemplation; devotion and surrender and that expansion (opening) isn’t always unsafe but a natural impulse towards the authentic expression of our innate aliveness and connection with all things.\nLearn to trust the present moment as the sacred ground of tending to the past and awakening your devotional heart.\nEmbrace tenderness and compassion as messengers of mercy to the body.\n\nWhat to Expect\nEach session offers a blend of teachings\, guided practices\, optional sharing and listening exercises\, and interactive questions and answers. \nRegistration includes:\n\nAccess to all 8 live classes.\nAll class audio recordings.\nWeekly homework practices and primings for upcoming topics.\n\nTo arrange e-transfer payment for Canadian participants email candace@candacekirby.ca. \nIf cost is a barrier please message me.  I am happy to arrange a payment plan that fits within your budget.

SUMMARY:Restoration: Healing the Core Wound of Separation
DESCRIPTION:Restoration: Healing the Core Wound of Separation\nA gentle and intuitive path of healing trauma and awakening to our true nature of Presence.\nRestoration: Healing the Core Wound of Separation is an 8 week online course created by Trauma Therapist\, Organic Intelligence Certified Coach and experienced Nervous System Practitioner Candace Kirby. \n\n“Be patient when you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming.”~ Rumi \n\nChildhood trauma is a loss of safety\, trust and healthy reliance on others; and a loss of connection to the present moment; our bodies and true nature. \nWhen the physiology of a child is overwhelmed by an event or events their inability to digest the overwhelm will cause their system to split off and give way to a false persona. This is necessary to the child’s survival. This split is an impulse away from authenticity and towards survival. This is what I call the core wound of separation. \nIn this course we will be working with separation from: \n\nOur Nature of Presence\nThe Body\nNature\nSpirit (Soul)\nEarth\nOthers\n\nThis work of restoration is intuitive and nuanced work that requires a safe space\, safe people and a slow and skilful approach. \nThis course is a slow\, gentle and intuitive path of connecting with and learning to trust our direct experience. No manipulation. No tricks. No strategies. No attempt to master the body; only deep attunement\, reverence and respect for the intelligence of a system that has survived. \nBecause many of us start on this path with a lot of undigested pain\, trauma and nervous system dysregulation we go slow and lay a strong foundation to support our physiology in ways it has never been supported before. To heal trauma we must restore what was lost; safety\, trust and healthy reliance on ourself and others without shaking the foundation of the survival system too quickly. \nThe course material including practices are restorative; slow\, simple and repetitive which the physiology needs to settle and begin to come into regulation. The safe container of the group will offer consistent support and compassionate attunement for your nervous system. \n\n“This will be so good. Before I started taking your courses I didn’t even know my nervous system was in a constant state of flight/freeze. Now I’m really seeing how my outward expression doesn’t always match what I’m feeling inside and I’m learning that’s okay! I’ve been following a spiritual path for decades\, and I’m so grateful to have that as a foundation. But this work is different. It embodies all that I’ve learned and I’m finally finding my authentic true self. I’ve not ever had any practice or study that brings me Home like this does. Thank you so much\, Candace.” ~ Participant \n\nThis course will help you:\n\nUnderstand the impact of past and present trauma on the physiology and why we suffer.\nTend to your nervous system states with more understanding and confidence.\nPause\, slow down\, rest and find ease in the present moment with the support of the group and consistent guided practices\nNotice that the present moment environment is consistently offering support.\nAlign with what is helpful and supportive and let go of what isn’t\nBuild capacity to be here by first building a foundation of safety\, stability and unconditional acceptance.\nFeel safe in the company of others. Perhaps for the first time.\nMake peace with your mind by understanding how nervous system states fuel our thoughts.\nLearn how to soften and release what’s been held in the body.\nCome to know yourself through your direct experience.\n\nIn this course we will engage in teachings\, simple present moment practices; meditation\, neurosensory practices\, grounding\, orientation and creative practices followed by questions and dialogue. \nThis is a slow and gentle process. \nRegistration includes:\n\nAccess to all 8 live classes.\nAll class audio recordings.\nWeekly homework practices and primings for upcoming topics.\n\nTo arrange e-transfer payment for CDN participants email candace@candacekirby.ca. \nIf cost is a barrier please message me.  I am happy to accommodate.

SUMMARY:Restoration: Healing the Core Wound of Separation
DESCRIPTION:Restoration: Healing the Core Wound of Separation\nA gentle and intuitive path of healing trauma and awakening to our true nature of Presence.\nRestoration: Healing the Core Wound of Separation is an 8 week online course created by Trauma Therapist\, Organic Intelligence Certified Coach and experienced Nervous System Practitioner Candace Kirby. \n\n“Be patient when you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming.”~ Rumi \n\nChildhood trauma is a loss of safety\, trust and healthy reliance on others; and a loss of connection to the present moment; our bodies and true nature. \nWhen the physiology of a child is overwhelmed by an event or events their inability to digest the overwhelm will cause their system to split off and give way to a false persona. This is necessary to the child’s survival. This split is an impulse away from authenticity and towards survival. This is what I call the core wound of separation. \nIn this course we will be working with separation from: \n\nOur Nature of Presence\nThe Body\nNature\nSpirit (Soul)\nEarth\nOthers\n\nThis work of restoration is intuitive and nuanced work that requires a safe space\, safe people and a slow and skilful approach. \nThis course is a slow\, gentle and intuitive path of connecting with and learning to trust our direct experience. No manipulation. No tricks. No strategies. No attempt to master the body; only deep attunement\, reverence and respect for the intelligence of a system that has survived. \nBecause many of us start on this path with a lot of undigested pain\, trauma and nervous system dysregulation we go slow and lay a strong foundation to support our physiology in ways it has never been supported before. To heal trauma we must restore what was lost; safety\, trust and healthy reliance on ourself and others without shaking the foundation of the survival system too quickly. \nThe course material including practices are restorative; slow\, simple and repetitive which the physiology needs to settle and begin to come into regulation. The safe container of the group will offer consistent support and compassionate attunement for your nervous system. \n\n“This will be so good. Before I started taking your courses I didn’t even know my nervous system was in a constant state of flight/freeze. Now I’m really seeing how my outward expression doesn’t always match what I’m feeling inside and I’m learning that’s okay! I’ve been following a spiritual path for decades\, and I’m so grateful to have that as a foundation. But this work is different. It embodies all that I’ve learned and I’m finally finding my authentic true self. I’ve not ever had any practice or study that brings me Home like this does. Thank you so much\, Candace.” ~ Participant \n\nThis course will help you:\n\nUnderstand the impact of past and present trauma on the physiology and why we suffer.\nTend to your nervous system states with more understanding and confidence.\nPause\, slow down\, rest and find ease in the present moment with the support of the group and consistent guided practices\nNotice that the present moment environment is consistently offering support.\nAlign with what is helpful and supportive and let go of what isn’t\nBuild capacity to be here by first building a foundation of safety\, stability and unconditional acceptance.\nFeel safe in the company of others.

SUMMARY:Reconnecting: Sensing Our Way Home
DESCRIPTION:Reconnecting: Sensing Our Way Home\nA gentle and intuitive path of healing trauma and awakening to our true nature of Presence.\nReconnecting: Sensing Our Way Home is an 8 week online course created by Trauma Therapist\, Organic Intelligence Certified Coach and experienced Nervous System Practitioner Candace Kirby. \n\n“The whole universe is contained within a single human being – you.” ~ Rumi \n\nChildhood trauma is a loss of safety\, trust and healthy reliance on others; and a loss of connection to the present moment and our true nature of goodness. \nWhen the physiology of a child is overwhelmed by an event or events their inability to digest the overwhelm will cause their system to split off and give way to a false persona. This is necessary to the child’s survival. This split is an impulse away from authenticity and towards survival. \nThe traumatized system has often never experienced the body or the present moment as safe. \nThis course is a slow\, gentle and intuitive path of connecting with and learning to trust our direct experience.

SUMMARY:Free to Be Here: An Awakened Path to Healing Trauma
DESCRIPTION:A Gentle and Safe Approach to Healing Trauma\nFree to Be Here: An Awakened Path to Healing Trauma is a 8 week online course created by Trauma Therapist\, Organic Intelligence Certified Coach and experienced Nervous System Practitioner Candace Kirby and co-facilitated by Jessica Holland; inspired by fairytales and myth\, a storyteller at heart; herbalist; pattern breaker and student of the nervous system. \nThere is no real blue print for how to navigate trauma and the resulting impact on the physiology except for the intelligence of our own system that knows how to heal and self-organize. \nThe course material will help you understand and tend to the impact of trauma on your nervous systems. \nThe practices are restorative; slow\, simple and repetitive which the nervous system needs to settle and relax into her nature of gentle presence and flow. The safe container of the group will offer consistent support\, compassionate presencing and attunement for your nervous system. \n“Because of the gentle and compassionate nature of Candace’s personality her private sessions and programs are safe enough and slow enough for the sensitive physiology of those who have experienced trauma; chronic illness\, complex grief or the symptoms of Benzo withdrawal. \nCandace has a quality of warmth\, tenderness and stability that naturally invites settling and deep rest. The nurturing slowness and ease of her approach communicates\, ‘it’s safe here”. She invites the nervous system to rest.”I hope you’ll join us. \nThis course will help you:\n\nUnderstand the impact of past and present trauma on the physiology and why we suffer\nGentle and consistent care for your nervous system\nPause slow down\, rest and find ease in the present moment with the support of the group and consistent guided practices\nNotice that the present moment environment is consistently offering support.\nAlign with what is helpful and supportive and let go of what isn’t\nBuild capacity to be here by first building a foundation of safety\, stability and unconditional acceptance\nShift through the repetition of slow and nourishing new practices\nFeel safe in the company of others.
