SUMMARY:Our Nature of Gentle Compassion
DESCRIPTION:An Awakening Path to Healing Trauma\nAn 8 week online course created by Trauma Therapist\, Organic Intelligence Certified Coach and experienced Nervous System Practitioner Candace Kirby. \nTrauma-safe and nervous system-informed practices.\nJoin Candace and a small group of friends for this 8 week online course as we learn to align our physiology with the present moment and the natural flow of things rather than forcing or imposing an outcome. We have all been trying so hard for so long to heal and now it’s time for less effort\, less intensity and more trust in our nature of compassionate presence. \nThis online series will provide understanding\, direction and clarity for attuning to the needs of the traumatized physiology while supporting the nervous system to recognize and align with the nature of the present moment. \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\nThe impact of trauma is felt in our diminished capacity to know our nature of peaceful and compassionate presence. Through no fault of our own we lose our sense of connection to 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 get 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.sence; gentle attunement and steady devotion. \n\n“Compassion is the love that recognizes and goes forth to identify with the preciousness of all that is lost and broken within ourselves and others.”~ James Finley \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 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 your unchanging nature of infinite 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 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.\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.\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:A Simple and Safe Morning Practice
DESCRIPTION:A Simple and Safe Morning Practice for the Sensitive or Traumatized Physiology\nAn online event with Candace Kirby\nJoin Candace and a small group of friends for this opportunity to learn and practice a simple and safe meditation and attunement practice. \nThis is a practice I have developed over the last couple of years as a support to trauma-healing. The goal of my work is to keep people safe and attuned to their nervous system in practice. \nTogether we will go over the steps and gain some familiarity with them as we settle into a practice together. \nI will provide all the participants with the steps to develop a practice on their own following the event. \n\n“Nobody chooses to experience trauma. Whether it’s a natural disaster\, a devastating accident\, or an act of interpersonal violence\, trauma often leaves people feeling violated and absent a sense of control. Because of this\, it’s vital that survivors feel a sense of choice and autonomy in their mindfulness practice. We want them to know that in every moment of practice\, they are in control. Nothing will be forced upon them. They can move at a pace that works for them\, and they can always opt out of any practice. By emphasizing self-responsiveness\, we help put power back in the hands of survivors. The body is central to this process. Survivors need to know they won’t be asked to override signals from their body\, but to listen to them—one way they’ll learn to stay in their window of tolerance.” ~ David A. Treleaven \n\nTo e-transfer payment for CDN participants – candacekirby@shaw.ca \nIf cost is a barrier please message me.  I am happy to accommodate.

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.

SUMMARY:Resting into Gentle Presence
DESCRIPTION:The Role of Trauma and the Nervous System in Awakening\nTrauma-safe and nervous system-informed practices.\nResting into Gentle Presence is a 6 week online course created by Trauma Therapist\, Organic Intelligence Certified Coach and experienced Nervous System Practitioner Candace Kirby. \nThe most common and contracted way of being in life is to identify as a separate self. A separate self that is maintained by the survival states of the nervous system; sensations\, emotions\, mind\, relational patterns and survival identities formed in childhood. \nBecause our attention has been fused with this identity for so long and the narrative in our mind is so convincing we assume it must be who we are. It creates an enormous amount of pain and suffering. \nThere is a way to liberate ourselves from this false sense of self that doesn’t require working on ourselves. With a little bit of space and curiosity we can begin to slowly and gently turn towards the traumatized self rather than away from it. We can find our way home. \nIn this course we will be focusing on:\n\nArriving here in the Present Moment\nUnderstanding the Impact of Trauma on the Physiology\nThe Nervous System – Discerning past and present.\nTenderness\, Soothing and Softening the Physiology\nNoticing Safety and finding our ground here.\nResourcing the Body.\n\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. \n\n“This gentle work with Candace has been such an enormous gift. No pushing\, no forcing. Allowing and welcoming everything as a real practice not as spiritual bypass. Not just meaningless words that cannot be sustained\, but true substance\, which allows and heals everything. I am here\, I have ground to stand on\, I am gaining agency. I feel and know and love myself. Thank you so much.”~ Participant \n\nThis course will help you:\n\nLearn to recognize your nature of presence.\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 6 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 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.

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: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!

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. No manipulation. No tricks. No strategies. No attempt to master the body; only deep 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 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. \nThis work of restoration is intuitive and nuanced work that requires a safe space\, safe people and a slow and skilful approach. \nI hope you’ll join us.\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 gentle work with Candace has been such an enormous gift. No pushing\, no forcing. Allowing and welcoming everything as a real practice not as spiritual bypass. Not just meaningless words that cannot be sustained\, but true substance\, which allows and heals everything. I am here\, I have ground to stand on\, I am gaining agency. I feel and know and love myself. Thank you so much.” ~ 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:Free Online Weekly Gathering: A Resting Place
DESCRIPTION:Come rest.\nTrauma-safe and nervous system-informed practices.\nEach week we will cover a new topic related to trauma\, the nervous system and awakening to our nature of Presence. \nIn order to stabilize and support our physiology as we heal from trauma or chronic stress we must find our sense of ground in the present moment. A solid anchor that allows our physiology to recognize safety and support here in the present moment. \nThe practices I teach are a simple and slow way of connecting to the present moment through the senses. They will help to restore a sense of safety\, stability and support to the physiology. \nWe don’t want to be pushed in all directions by the media\, our own minds and the collective surges of overwhelm. Those of us who aren’t in the epicentre of a crisis we need to hold our ground. To be present. To be connected to our source of courage\, love and wisdom. To sit or stand upright in our solidarity with truth and all that is meaningful\, good and sound in this world. We need to hold onto the intention to always speak and act from a place of greater wisdom and unconditional love. \nWe are not in control of what is happening in the world but perhaps in our willingness to stop and allow our systems to rest we can offer that rest to those around us. We can be a small island of calm in a very turbulent ocean. \nHaving a practice is no longer a luxury. Having a practice that connects us to the heart and soul of each moment is essential if we are ever going to restore a state of equilibrium in ourselves and our collective humanity. \nPractice brings us back here\, home\, where we can align our internal compass with peace\, unconditional love and eternal wisdom. \nThe safe container of the group will offer rest\, consistent support\, compassionate presencing and attunement for your nervous system. \nYou are invited to join me for this free online weekly event. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free Online Weekly Gathering\nREGISTER HERE TO RECEIVE THE ZOOM LINK\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n						\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Email Address\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				First Name\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Last Name\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Message\n				\n			 \n						\n						\n							\n			\n				\n					13 + 15 = \n				 \n			\n							Submit
