Trigger Happy!
(Welcoming & working with triggers)

Are your triggers tripping up your tantric tango? It’s not funny, it’s not sexy, and it’s not satisfying. Actually, it’s very painful, but it’s not impossible to change that! In fact it’s more doable and straightforward than we think, with accurate information about trauma, triggers, and communication, and a few simple skills.

But what’s that got to do with Sacred Union and Spiritual Awakeneing? Much more than we think! In fact the same information and skill set provides the best foundation and most direct path to those too.

Come join us as we roll away the stone and illuminate this mystery…

Welcoming Triggers!?
I hate when I get triggered, let alone when my partner or friends do! I just want to get rid of that!

Well you’re not alone, triggered states are gnarly awful places to be. We get scared, suspicious, project on others, judge ourselves ~ and we feel like we have to bolt, attack something, or just freeze up like a deer in the headlights! 😀 It’s generally pretty miserable, and it can affect our health & well being, muck up our most important relationships, and derail our success in life & work. Yuk, no fun at all…

But “The Treasure is in the Triggers”
What did you just say? That’s right, if we want to be free of our triggers, we need to relax the impulse to get past them so fast, slow things down, and get really curious about them. Learn to deepen our capacity to hold space for ourselves and others. And that’s a skill we can learn. But there’s more to it ~ just HOW do we do that? When we’re triggered, we’re in a reaction, how can we get back on top and in the flow? And how can we create the kind of relationships where we have allies in this work?

Our triggers show us where our wounds and conditioning are, I’m talking trauma, and punishment-reward reactions. It’s like we have a mine field, and other people, places, and things step on them and set them off. The things that trigger us may be good or bad, but the triggers are always inside of us, not about what triggered us. It’s vulnerable work, but we create a super safe & supportive space, and it goes quicker than we would think, and can be more fun and fulfilling, when we have the right understandings and approach.

In this workshop we will explore:

☸ A detailed insightful understanding of Triggers and Trauma.
☸ Our own territory of land mines.
☸ What triggers us, and how do we react when it does?
☸ Exactly how to deepen our capacity to hold space for ourselves & others.
☸ What does this have to do with Tantra & Spiritual Awakening?
☸ How to know what, how, and when to be more vulnerable with others.
☸ How to negotiate and cultivate relationships we can do more healing in.
☸ Skillful ways to dissolve the triggers and get the treasure!

Join us for this deep and lightly held inner work which is a crucial foundation for stable Heart Awakening.
Highly recommended for Self-Sourcing attendees.
