HOW WE WORK

We consider the target audience of women, the size of the group, the time and environment to design a Women Well Beyond experience specifically to meet the needs of the participants. We also are continually looking for what is needed in the moment and adjusting our designs to meet the current needs.

The following principles and paradigms guide our work:

Choice is our basic right. We can choose our response, no matter how horrific the event.
Moving too quickly can be detrimental to ultimate healing. It is important to know how to be present and work with our more difficult emotions.
Healing is not a passive event. It’s not just time that heals, it is what we do with our time.
Mindsets impact healing. Developing a mindset and commitment to using this event as a growing, learning and beneficial experience is helpful to healing.
What we focus on grows. To change our results we must shift our focus and work with tools to discipline our mind.
A wholistic approach to healing integrates mind, body and spirit.
Trauma is held in our body. Body centered work contributes to the healing process.
A community of support can deepen our growth and healing and lessen our isolation and loneliness. We need models and stories of women who are Well Beyond their trauma to help us believe we can do this too.
Acts of service toward others promotes self healing. Working in groups of women will provide opportunities for you to assist helping others; helping others can put things in perspective and help you heal yourself.
Self love is the foundation of resilience. Healing is an inside-out process.

Here is a sample of core processes we often use in our engagements:

I am, I see, I want process: A way to create intimacy and dive deeply into our beliefs, desires and a way to affirm the experience present for each person
Legacy work: An exploration of our defining life events and repetitive themes which often point us in the direction of our greatest opportunity for learning.
Vibratory movement, dance and breath work: Designed to release pain and anxiety, explore emotions and access the wisdom of the bod
Ho’oponopono work: A ancient Hawaiian process which helps the unconscious open to new possibilities, encourages forgiveness of self and others and increases love in the body and mind
Future traveling: Using current brain research to access future states as a way to create hope, possibilities and momentum.
