Join us for a transformative journey at The Wisdom of Trauma Healing Immersion, led by Dr. Peter A. Levine, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Dr. Scott Lyons.
Ergos Institute of Somatic Education and The Embody Lab present this six-day, in-person, and live-streamed embodied exploration of trauma healing.

You will also utilize somatic embodiment practices to attune to your internal compass, guiding you towards healing.
Throughout this immersion, we will explore themes such as how the body keeps the score, the developmental trajectory of trauma, how reclaiming stress restores our adaptability, the cultural causation of disease and addiction, the link between individual and collective trauma, and how to embrace and incorporate insight after a traumatic impact.
The immersion will offer many rare opportunities to observe or participate in live demos of Compassionate Inquiry and Somatic Experiencing®, where you will witness the body's innate wisdom of healing.
Whether exploring your own healing, deepening your skills as a therapist or coach, or simply curious about somatic therapeutic approaches to trauma, this 6-day immersion will offer valuable insights and tools to enhance your well-being.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to connect with a supportive community of like-minded people. Whether in-person or online, we hope to see you in October.

WHAT IS TRAUMA?
A holistic approach to trauma defines trauma not as an event, but rather as a disruption and overwhelm to our body-mind’s capacity to adapt, thrive, and flourish.
Trauma can occur when:
There is too much too soon
There is too much for too long
There is not enough for too long
Power and agency have been taken away from the person or collective
The stressors outweigh the resources available to navigate them
When our primal protective instincts, intuitions, and responses are thwarted
There is not enough time, space, or permission to heal
It is essential that we consider social, developmental, and cultural factors when reflecting on a client’s trauma history. By not acknowledging these contextual factors we do the individual a disservice.
The symptoms of trauma may occur immediately or emerge over time from the compounding stress and challenges of processing and adapting to the experiences of life. Symptoms of trauma emerge as the body and mind attempt to cope with and resolve the stressors.
The effects of trauma may include:
Physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, tightness in the body, muscle tension, digestion challenges, and constrictions around the breath.
Emotional symptoms such as flatness / inability to feel, fear, anxiety, panic, overwhelm, loss of choice, difficulty feeling comforted, anger, and shame.
Psychological symptoms such as dissociation, mental rumination, low self worth, negative self talk, self blame, memory challenges, depression, and loss of interest in activities.
Relational / Social symptoms such as isolation, loneliness, relational and attachment reenactments.
Trauma can lead to feelings of powerlessness, helplessness, and groundlessness. It interferes with our ability to feel real in body and mind, it disrupts our very sense of existence, and takes us away from the present moment. However, as Dr. Peter Levine, creator of Somatic Experiencing says “Trauma is a fact of life. It does not have to be a life sentence.”
Symptoms are the gateway to healing trauma. Our job as practitioners and educators is to listen and hear the messages and wisdom encoded in the body.
SOMATICS HELP HEAL
‘Soma’ is a Greek word for ‘the living body known from within’, or known to the Self. This ‘knowing’ signifies wholeness. Somatic therapy is an experiential approach towards mindbody integration. The pain, overwhelm, and coping responses manifested by trauma take us away from feeling at home in our body, and as a result there is often a split within ourselves.
Somatic Therapy helps:
Restore the body as a place of safety while helping to expand the capacity to process body (preverbal and nonverbal) memory
Metabolize unprocessed emotions
Complete thwarted (incomplete) stress responses
Restore our optimal relationship to our self and the world around us
Somatic trauma therapy offers techniques for clients to sense and regulate their own physiology and states of being. This includes building more internal and external resources, building trusting and co-regulatory relationships, learning to turn inward with compassion, being invited deeper in the body, and given time and space to process the trauma. These somatic techniques unwind trauma and restore well being.
“Healing is never complete until we have been truly heard. May the universe send you someone who will sincerely care to listen.”
- ANTHON ST. MAARTEN
“Healing is like an onion. As you process through one layer of trauma to release the pain and heal, a new layer will surface. One layer after another layer will bring up new issues to focus on. Pace yourself. Only focus on one layer at a time.”
- DANA ARCURI
“The body stores the trauma of our lives in muscular rigidity, thereby keeping us stuck in the past. When we release the tension in the body and align ourselves with gravity, we take a new stand in life. This allows us to be at ease with ourselves and in harmony in our relationship to others and to our planet.”
- JOSEPH HELLER
“Sometimes the people around you won't understand your journey. They don't need to, it's not for them.”
- JOUBERT BOTHA
