Welcome to this 21-day journey from Trauma to Tantra.

This program is designed to help anyone with mild trauma or symptoms of being shut down, to move through this in a safe way. Mild trauma might manifest as being easily triggered, experiencing panic attacks or fear. Being "shut down" is feeling unable to live fully, or finding yourself contracting or freezing in certain events.

How to use the course

You can access the material at your own pace. However, please follow the order of classes as it has been designed as a step-by-step process. The Sexual Empowerment Trypnaural is your backbone resource to listen to throughout the training.

Some classes have both an audio version and a the written version. You can choose whether you prefer to read or listen.There is no need to do both! These audios are always at the top of the page. Audios found within the text are guided meditations or practices.

If you feel overwhelmed, please contact a therapist (check our resources list if you don't know where to look locally). We recommend that you find a therapist before you start the course so you know who you would call if you need. This is part of feeling safe and ready for this journey. Also, it can be good to tell one trusted friend or relative that you are doing this course- so that they are there for you. When we gather good resources around us, we often never need to call upon them. It helps our nervous system relax just knowing they are there!!

Take each step at your own pace. If something touches you (you feel emotions or energy stirring inside), then pause and take time to feel where you are touched and breathe deeply with the sensations.

We will send you a support email every day for your 21 days. These will be brief as you have a lot of material in the course itself. The emails are more of a quick check-in each day.

Wishing you many blessings as you walk this path. May it bring you nourishment, guidance and support.

"I try to remember how much courage it takes for abuse victims to return to a state of trust in this world. This is no game, and often takes every ounce of energy and faith one can muster.

Trauma is not simply a concept or an idea of something. It is a deeply embodied experience of suffering that fastens itself tightly to the cellular (and soulular) structure of every person who is victimized. It embeds itself as somatized memory, and it cannot be wished away or bypassed with positive affirmations and victim bashing mantras. It just can’t.

I often hear people telling others ‘to get on with it,’ ‘let it go,’ and ‘stop playing the victim.’ This languaging adds insult to injury, and is both counter-productive and victimizing. Yes, we don’t want to hang onto trauma as identity for the rest of it, but it is far worse to pretend it isn’t there. The heal is for real, and that healing can only happen in a compassionate and patient environment.

May we support those who have been traumatized (which is most of humanity, in my estimation) with an exquisite depth of presence and understanding. Trust me, it will serve us all."
