With practice it starts to become clear that everything is appearing in the same open field of awareness. \nThe undigested impact of trauma (past) arises in present moment awareness in the same way as the sound of birdsong; a gentle breeze; sunlight coming in through the window; the sound of the dishwasher; cool air; flickering candle light; tension; the crunch of gravel; physical pain; tears; the far off sound of traffic; busy mind; body softening; body contracting. \nBuilding capacity to meet our undigested trauma (past) is a practice in restoring safety; understanding; self compassion; gentleness; patience; listening; courage and embodiment. \nA path of love\, illumination and restoration for all that has been denied\, suppressed and held in the body. \n\n“Your sanctuary is a balm for my whole being.”~ Julie P \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 3 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.

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.

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.

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. \n\n“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.” \n\nCandace will guide the group in gentle neurosensory (nervous system) practices and engage in dialogue and questions with participants. \n\n“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 \n\nI look forward to welcoming you into this safe and compassionate space. \nTo arrange e-transfer payment for CDN participants email candace@candacekirby.ca.

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.

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. \n\n“Candace embodies gentleness\, warmth and sincerity that invites settling and deep rest.
