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.
