The Hidden Weight You Carry—And How to Lighten the Load

-

Most of us walk through life carrying things we don’t even realize are weighing us down. Old wounds, buried fears, moments we never fully processed. Trauma isn’t just something that happens to “other people.” It happens to all of us, in different ways. And it shapes how we think, feel, and move through the world.

Maybe you feel stuck in patterns you don’t understand. Maybe anxiety or overwhelm creeps in at the worst times. Maybe relationships feel harder than they should. The truth is, trauma isn’t just something from the past—it lives in the present, in the body, in the mind. But here’s the good news: It can also heal.

You’ll learn simple, effective tools to foster healing, build resilience, and move through the world with more ease. You’ll gain insights rooted in both psychology and spiritual wisdom, all in a safe, supportive space.

You don’t have to carry this weight alone. Join us, and take the first step toward greater freedom, clarity, and self-compassion.

Who Am I All The Time? The Spiritual Practice of Reflection

I am passionate about "The Spiritual Practice of Reflection The Spiritual Practice of Reflection ," the two-hour workshop I will facilitate on Saturday, September 14, 2024, from 10:00 to 12:00. Through several guided explanations and exercises with mirror work, the Principle of Oneness became clear to me. Now, I practice it daily, incorporating it effortlessly yet mindfully into my routine. When I first came to The Center, I thought spiritual practices had to be formal and set aside for specific times each day. While they can be, I found this difficult. Through mirror work, I realized that I could feel and know I was one with the Divine each morning as I got ready for work. My intention for this workshop is for participants to discover that they, too, can carry out the spiritual practice of reflection as they prepare for the day. Nearly everyone has access to a mirror and uses it to finalize their appearance before leaving. What we see reflected is superficial, but this works...

How Did I Learn to Trust Life?

For much of my life I had a hard time trusting. I didn't have good models of what healthy trust looks like when I was growing up, and I had many experiences that taught me that it wasn't safe to trust--especially to trust that Life was for me. This led me to want to be in control of everything! My emotions, my job, my friends, my romantic relationships, it doesn't matter what it was, I wanted to control it.  The challenge with this way of being is that it's a lot of work. And it's not really effective. I learned through much trial and error that it's not actually possible, or even desirable, to always be in control.  The spiritual practice that helped me move my excessively controlling ways is visioning . When we vision, we go into a meditative state and seek to connect with that wise, loving, and knowledgable core of our being. Psychology calls this core of us the Self, with a capital "S". Spiritual traditions have called it the Christ consciousness, ...
