From Trauma to Triumph: Adoration for Survivors (Emotional, Physical, and/or Sexual Trauma) Training & Temple (Both Receivers & Givers: Male and/or Female)
For 8 years, I was the Patient Publications Coordinator at Kaiser Permanente, meeting with physicians & nurses to design & implement patient information.
While there I learned that 40% of us are raised in families (or environments) with severe Emotional (shaming, blaming, denigrating, neglect), Physical (hitting, some forms of spanking, slapping, beating, deprivation, neglect), and/or Sexual Abuse (being coerced, forced, manipulated or persuaded to see, receive or give sexuality not in alignment with one's authentic nature) or Trauma.
I also discovered that 96% of us were raised in families (or environments) that were Dysfunctional to some degree. (Dysfunctional: Missing Functions. For instance, if a family suppressed or denied anger, sadness, authenticity, boundaries, fear, praise, or affection, as adults we would be missing those functions.)
Concerned about these statistics, I began training & education on trauma, abuse, compulsive behaviors, & recovery.
It is an honor to bring to our Sex Positive communities a tender (non-sexual) opportunity to heal from trauma. This Temple will support consciousness, integration, compassion, & healing.
In this Temple both givers & receivers will receive a full day of training.
Whether you are someone who suffers from childhood (or adult trauma) OR are a therapist, massage therapist, energy healer, educator, or Tantric practioner, you will find information & practicum that is of value.
