Transform Your Life with the Change Your Story Retreat Series Update

Last week, I guided five courageous participants through "Trauma School," the second retreat in the transformative year-long series, Change Your Story, Change Your Life. This retreat focused on resolving trauma in the present moment, a cornerstone of lasting emotional healing. Modeled after my PBS documentary, Is Your Story Making You Sick?, the series continues with "Our Shadow Selves" in November and concludes with "Our Many Perspectives" in March 2025. Applications for the 2025 series are now open—reach out to learn more about this life-changing journey!

Last week I had the great honor of guiding five courageous individuals through a transformative four-day experience we referred to as "Trauma School."

The curriculum we worked through was not what you might imagine. Instead of digging up past traumas, we focused on the present moment. After all, the best time to address and resolve a traumatic memory is precisely when it's triggered.

The "Our Traumas" retreat was the second in a year-long, four-retreat series I call Change Your Story, Change Your Life. This series is modeled after my PBS documentary, Is Your Story Making You Sick? If you'd like to watch the film, you can stream it here.

We began the series in April of this year with the "Our Stories" retreat. Next up is "Our Shadow Selves" in November, and we will wrap up with "Our Many Perspectives" in March 2025.

We are currently accepting applications for next year's series. If you or someone you know is interested in this life-changing experience, please email me at mark@skillfullyaware.com for more information.
