ABOUT THIS SUMMIT
Empower your healing journey and learn to access your internal body wisdom, release the binds of trauma, and build resilience for yourself and others.
Gather with us online for our “Somatic Trauma Healing Summit” with internationally recognized leaders in somatic-based approaches to trauma healing and recovery.
While traditional therapy focuses on verbal processing and cognitive meaning making, a somatic approach to healing trauma invites the individual into the wisdom of their body as the intuitive place of healing and well-being. Somatic Trauma Healing offers a paradigm shift, situating the individual as the expert of their own journey of healing, transformation, and wellbeing.
Our Somatic Trauma Healing Summit blends traditional wisdom and embodiment practices with contemporary neuroscience and psychology, supporting healing and transformation while working with every aspect of an individual— psychologically, psychically, spiritually, energetically, socially, and environmentally.
Dr. Peter Levine, creator of Somatic Experiencing says “Trauma is a fact of life. It does not have to be a life sentence.”
In this Summit we will explore foundational tools of healing trauma from an embodied perspective to support the healing and transformation of trauma. Based on the foundational principle that healing and integration happens through our bodies' primal language of movement, breath, and sensation, the Somatic Trauma Healing Summit will explore a variety of somatic-based approaches to heal, and restore well-being for yourself and others.
Join us, FREE, and learn the power of body awareness to access an internal source of wisdom to guide the healing process and build resilience.

DAY 1 SCHEDULE
Marina Yanay-Triner
Treasure’s in the Trigger: Somatic Tools to Access Growth through Triggers
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Triggers are both incredibly challenging, and an opportunity for healing and transformation. As someone who experienced debilitating triggers due to past trauma, I’ve created my own process to be with them, while honoring my body and spirit. In this workshop, we’ll dive into understanding triggers and accessing their healing and growth potentials through powerful somatic tools that address our sensations, emotions and memories. You’ll be encouraged to go at your own pace as you dive into the depths of aliveness that is available when you can make space for a trigger.
Dr. Albert Wong
Healing Trauma: From Fragmentation to Embodiment
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
In this educational workshop, Dr. Albert Wong, outlines the mechanism of trauma and illustrates how we can move from the fragmented aftermath of trauma back home into an integrated, embodied self. Trauma therapy from an embodied perspective invites us to reconnect with the oft-forgotten “felt sense” of the body and use the wisdom of the body to help guide a client from fragmentation to integration. This class will share some of the underlying principles of trauma therapy from an embodiment lens, including tools we can use with our clients, ourselves, and those we love.
Maggie Hayes
Somatic Expression and the Body
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Healing trauma is not about fixing what we perceive to be wrong, but rather creating a safe container to claim and express the energy we still hold. Explore that process through somatic expression within the body. In this session, we will move together through an intentional combination of movement, body work and meditation that can help work with the physiology of the nervous system and cultivate greater somatic awareness of your unique internal landscape.
Britt Piper
Healthy Aggression & Life Force: Rising Into Your Power
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Nervous system regulation extends beyond calming and grounding; it’s also about embracing our innate power and reconnecting with healthy aggression vital for somatic healing. Freud's view (mirrored in our cultural norms) of aggression as purely destructive overlooks its pivotal role, echoed in nature. Ethologists stress aggression's survival importance, crucial for setting boundaries, propelling us forward, and more. Aggression's etymology reveals its essence: a step toward vitality. Without this life force, disconnection and stagnation occur. Somatic healing aims to restore this power, guiding us back to our bodies, the gateway to aliveness, somatic completion and self-healing. Join Brittany for an exploration of power, followed by experiential practices to embody and rise into it.
Dr. Aline LaPierre
Touching Developmental Trauma
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
The roots of developmental trauma lay in the experience of ongoing misattunement and being unheld and untouched as an infant. In this gentle, experiential session, Dr. LaPierre will support you in attuning to this deep layer of yourself and meeting yourself with attunement and nurturing. Please gather pillows, blankets, a heating pad, or anything you have on hand that will help you be physically comfortable for this exploration, which will include a journey into cellular breath using light, self-directed touch, together with an invitation to explore your body-mind collaborative relationship.
DAY 2 SCHEDULE
Dené Logan
Embodiment Practices for Relational Conflict
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
It’s often said that there is no more fertile soil for accessing deeper layers of healing, than romantic relationships. This is because nothing activates our pain points, and triggers our abandonment wounds like the unbelievably vulnerable process of attempting to love and be loved by another person. And while it is absolutely true that relationships can serve as a tremendous resource for trauma healing, this requires a mindful approach to how we understand relating and what it looks like to stay in our bodies through compassionate inquiry when conflicts inevitably arise.
Licia Sky
Embodied Self-Listening: Practices of and for Self-Relationship
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
What is your relationship to you? How do you listen and respond to yourself? From moment to moment, situation to situation, different aspects of ourselves come to the fore. In this session, we will explore embodied self-listening practices. The nature of practice is adaptive and open-ended, best done with the intention of discovery and refinement. These basic practices enhance our ability to understand ourselves and our world as we flow through time.
Enhance awareness of internal and external bodily sensations, spatial awareness, emotional awareness, sense of yourself, and sense of being.
Frank Anderson
When There Are No Words: Preverbal Trauma from a Parts Perspective
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Working with attachment trauma can be some of the most challenging cases to work with. Often times, clients stay in therapy, get very attached to the therapist and have a very difficult time moving forward due to the inability for them to access the wounds that are carried internally. This workshop will explore working with preverbal trauma by utilizing techniques beyond words. Such as connecting to emotion, connecting to physical sensation and working with energy to help connect with and transform trauma that occurs before language.
Nkem Ndefo
Outrunning Powerlessness: Understanding Trauma Through the Lens of Power
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
This interactive workshop delves into powerlessness as a core feature of trauma. We'll examine how avoiding feelings of powerlessness shapes our trauma responses and impacts our lives. Participants will learn to recognize when this avoidance drives their behavior and how to face powerlessness without becoming overwhelmed. We'll explore the power of embodied stabilization to transform our relationship with power in the trauma healing journey.
Betsy Polatin
How Trauma Affects Support, Suspension, and Breath
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Trauma tends to fragment and/or diminish our sense of self, physically, mentally and emotionally. This presentation will offer simple exercises to enhance sensory skills by exploring the fascial, musculoskeletal, and respiratory systems, and how they relate to the larger universe, and to trauma. Learn to awaken inherent potential by finding the Ground Reaction Force that can lead to support and full stature, while noting how trauma and overwhelm can interfere with this process.
