LIGHT ALWAYS FINDS THE WAY
For thousands of years, cultures across the world have utilized earth-based practices for healing. These rituals have a deep connection with the earth and are guided by powerful forces. These practices utilize the healing attributes of the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. This May, explore and practice how to weave these ancient practices with Internal Family Systems. In this immersive day, you will learn and experience how to utilize these practices to heal depression, trauma, anxiety, and everyday disease. Through lectures, discussions, and exercises, you will learn:
- The basics of Internal Family Systems
- The properties of earth, water, fire, and air and how they can be used for healing

- Release any negativity that you carry.
