Restoration: Healing the Core Wound of Separation
A gentle and intuitive path of healing trauma and awakening to our true nature of Presence.
Restoration: 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.

“Be patient when you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming.”~ Rumi

Childhood 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.
When 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.
In this course we will be working with separation from:

Our Nature of Presence
The Body
Nature
Spirit (Soul)
Earth
Others

This work of restoration is intuitive and nuanced work that requires a safe space, safe people and a slow and skilful approach.
This 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.
Because 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.
The 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.

“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

This course will help you:

Understand the impact of past and present trauma on the physiology and why we suffer.
Tend to your nervous system states with more understanding and confidence.
Pause, slow down, rest and find ease in the present moment with the support of the group and consistent guided practices
Notice that the present moment environment is consistently offering support.
Align with what is helpful and supportive and let go of what isn’t
Build capacity to be here by first building a foundation of safety, stability and unconditional acceptance.
Feel safe in the company of others. Perhaps for the first time.
Make peace with your mind by understanding how nervous system states fuel our thoughts.
Learn how to soften and release what’s been held in the body.
Come to know yourself through your direct experience.

In this course we will engage in teachings, simple present moment practices; meditation, neurosensory practices, grounding, orientation and creative practices followed by questions and dialogue.
This is a slow and gentle process.
Registration includes:

Access to all 8 live classes.
All class audio recordings.
Weekly homework practices and primings for upcoming topics.

“The whole universe is contained within a single human being – you.” ~ Rumi

Childhood 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.
When 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.
The traumatized system has often never experienced the body or the present moment as safe.
This 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.
Because 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.

I hope you’ll join us.

“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

Come rest.
Trauma-safe and nervous system-informed practices.
Each week we will cover a new topic related to trauma, the nervous system and awakening to our nature of Presence.
In 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.
The 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.
We 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.
We 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.
Having 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.
Practice brings us back here, home, where we can align our internal compass with peace, unconditional love and eternal wisdom.
The safe container of the group will offer rest, consistent support, compassionate presencing and attunement for your nervous system.

Immersed in Love
2024-04-26 10:00 - 12:00
Trauma Safe Practices
Have you ever wondered about the true nature of Presence (Love) and why it can seem so elusive or even non existent. Are you frustrated with seeking and trying to figure it all out? During this event I will talk about the reasons that Love can seem so far away when in fact we are immersed in it. We are it. I know you’ve heard these words before but come and join me as I point to what you’ve been seeking in a very simple and embodied way.

“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 compassionate space.

Afraid to Stop: The Momentum of the Separate Self
2024-04-17 10:00 - 12:00
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.

Free Online Weekly Gathering: A Resting Place
2024-04-14 10:00 - 11:00
Come rest.
Each week we will cover a new topic related to trauma, the nervous system and awakening to our nature of ease.
In 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.
The 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.
We 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.
We 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.
Having 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.
Practice brings us back here, home, where we can align our internal compass with peace, unconditional love and eternal wisdom.
The safe container of the group will offer rest, consistent support, compassionate presencing and attunement for your nervous system.
You are invited to join me for this free online weekly event.
