SUMMARY:The Body After a Natural Disaster: Tending & Befriending our Trauma Responses
DESCRIPTION:Our region has been impacted by a major disaster\, understandably leaving us in states of shock\, freeze or numbness\, fright\, anger\, and overwhelm. These responses are normal given the impact and aftermath of Hurricane Helene: you are not alone in these experiences.  \nJoin us for an insightful event that explores how stress\, trauma\, and body awareness are interconnected in disaster recovery. We’ll dive into how the body responds to stress after a traumatic event like a hurricane. Drawing upon the work of Peter Levine\, Bessel van der Kolk and somatic instinctual wisdom\, we’ll uncover practical tools for managing traumatic experiences to restore balance. Learn to recognize your body’s distress signals\, understand the mental-emotional impacts of disaster trauma\, and discover strategies for reclaiming your peace and well-being. \nThis virtual event will occur via Zoom on December 5\, from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. The event is free and open to everyone. Please RSVP via this link\, if you would like to join via Zoom. You can also watch the event live on our YouTube page. \n\n  Patti Elledge is a trauma healing specialist who has served as a therapist and somatic mentor for thousands of individuals over the past 25+ years. Prior to that\, she worked as a child development specialist serving infants\, children\, and families.  Patti trained directly with Somatic Experiencing faculty Peter Levine\, Raja Selvam\, and Kathy Kain and assisted more than 40 SE trainings.  Patti also served as faculty for Dr. Diane Poole Heller’s groundbreaking attachment training\, DARe\, for 9 years and then in 2020 launched her own 3-month online Somatic Mentoring.  She continues to teach\, most recently participating in a weeklong event at Blue Spirit Costa Rica with Bessel van der Kolk and Dick Schwartz.  Patti weaves cutting-edge therapeutic strategies from the fields of somatic experiencing\, attachment\, interpersonal neurobiology\, parts work\, relational inquiry practices\, deep ecology\, and the felt sense of embodiment.  By utilizing attunement\, presence\, and the blending of these techniques\, over-coupled survival energies (fight-flight-freeze) that appear so seemingly intractable with the essence of loving/bonding and attaching\, can be shifted and healed.  By accessing all parts of our nervous system and moving out of dysregulated and early fear-based patterns we can embrace who we truly are meant to be and embody our True Essence in these amazing\, evolving times. \n  \n \nAriana Figueroa is a board-certified Health and Wellness Coach trained at Duke Integrative Medicine. As a Health Coach and Facilitator\, she is dedicated to fostering a space where insight and meaningful change can flourish. Curiosity\, cultural humility\, and compassion are core values in how Ariana approaches her work. She has a background in motivational interviewing\, positive psychology\, herbalism studies\, group coaching\, individual coaching\, and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Social Work at Western Carolina University.

SUMMARY:Heart Centered Meditation with Dr. Aneela Cox
DESCRIPTION:Looking to experience less stress and more peace in your day-to-day life? In many spiritual practices\, the heart center is a key to diving into deeper states of consciousness. The heart-centered meditation (HCM) is different from most meditation practices (mindfulness based\, Zen meditations\, etc.) in that it uses four attributes–compassion\, innate harmony\, healing presence and unconditional love–to connect to the heart space. This meditation also uses the Karunesh Heart Chakra Meditation soundtrack to deepen the practice.  \nDr. Aneela Cox will be offering a Heart-Centered Meditation series between January 19 and March 10\, 2023\, on Thursdays at 12:00 pm\, and Fridays at 8:00 am\, with the exception of holidays. This is offered exclusively to Integrative Life and Employee Health Plan members\, free of charge. Registration in advance of the first session you wish to attend is required. Here is the link to register for the Thursday meditations at 12:00 pm\, and here is the link to register for the Friday meditations at 8:00 am. You will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link for joining.  \nThe heart-centered meditation was given to Dr. Cox by her teacher\, Dr. Ann Marie Chiasson\, the fellowship director at the Andrew Weil Center of Integrative Medicine. Dr. Chiasson shared that “We must polish the heart everyday\,” a process facilitated by HCM. Dr. Cox has practiced and taught various styles of meditations over the past decade and feels called to once again share HCM with the our clinic members.
