“Do you know that both the words come from the same root: medicine and meditation? Medicine heals the body, meditation heals your soul. But their function is the same – healing.”
Osho, God Is Dead, Now Zen Is the Only Living Truth, #1
Allowing the body to fully process trauma
This Trauma Healing course can help you to clear your bodymind of the shocks that accumulated when you were unable to process the energy of certain events in a natural way – in situations where you felt overwhelmed and disempowered.
In an atmosphere of meditation, love and respect, we use the techniques of Somatic Experiencing® to provide an emotionally safe space from which the energy of traumatic events can be safely and carefully reexperienced and released from the bodymind.
WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?
Trauma avoidance only makes things worse
We often try to manage unresolved trauma through medication, self-medication with addictions, or by intellectualizing our emotions and projecting our pain externally into various “causes”. But the effects of trauma remain in the nervous system and continue to run our lives. Real healing from trauma arises only from the inner work of transformation through awareness.
Regaining self-trust, coming home
Traumatic events impair our ability to trust in existence. Even more devastating, our self-trust is undermined. Without this trust in ourselves and our own instincts and perceptions, we are adrift and remain open to further trauma. In this course you will learn to trust yourself again and learn how to nurture your own self trust through meditation and the alchemical practice of witnessing.

Meet Your Facilitator - Richa

In her own words:
“Trauma is not just the story of the past — it is the imprint that influences how we live today. Healing begins when we create safety, awareness, and connection with our body, mind, and being.”
“As you start looking inwards, you are amazed: you were ignoring yourself, and that was the trouble. That was why you were in misery, anxiety, suffering. You were trying everything to remove the misery, but it was caused by your unawareness, by your unconsciousness, by your ignorance of your own being. That was the cause. And unless that cause is removed, you will never have a taste of blissfulness, of ecstasy, of immortality, of the divineness of existence.” - Osho
