The Acclimation Ritual Program: Small Group Session
To acclimate is to adjust to. It is a concept more complex, nuanced and sacred than we may realize. Some find that it is helpful, following times of perhaps unwelcome change, to learn a new language, one that can give a voice to the otherwise “unseen” pain that becomes part of the selves, and subsequent methods of coping, that we adopt after trauma of one sort or another.
The 8-week small group curriculum of The Acclimation Ritual is the sharing of teachings derived from Sankhya philosophy (yogic roots involving dualism and the study of the self), spirituality and modern day scientific explanations about how we, as humans, resolve the existence of pain & loss.
The lecture and workshop style sessions are accessible for many, but especially appropriate for those who:
have experienced loss or trauma and who have already worked alongside a counselor, therapist or supportive Community (remember, this is not therapy, but a beautiful complement to your healing journey)
want to develop a more thorough understanding of how our bodies hold and carry our experiences
seek a deeper dive into the Yoga Sutras but are not ready for formal Yoga Teacher Training
serve and support the mental, emotional and physical well-being of others

About Katie:
I am a certified teacher, ERYT200 (soon to be RYT500) trauma-informed yoga instructor, bereavement group facilitator & writer. Previously, I owned Present Yoga Community in Wall, NJ, (2018-2020) and I am also the founder of Manifesting Busual, a yoga philosophy centric approach to post-traumatic growth and healing. I provide support and education to grievers, caregivers and humans in general, so that together, we can bolster and refine our toolbox of resources and rituals to assist us forward on this complex journey that is life.
I am currently completing a Masters of Clinical Mental Health, with a concentration on Military and Veterans Counseling at The College of William & Mary.
