Many of us are living apart from ourselves — not because we chose to leave, but because something happened that made it feel safer to go. Trauma disembodies us. It quietly separates us from the wisdom of our own bodies, and in doing so, from our connection to Source, to God, to Creation itself.

In this talk, as a somatic trauma healer, Spiritual Counselor, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, I will bridge the teachings of spiritual wisdom traditions on liberation with somatics and modern nervous system science. Together we will explore, with compassion and grounding, what trauma actually does to the body and spirit, and what connection and healing truly look like.

Our bodies are sacred vessels. Reconnecting to the body — returning to its intelligence and its aliveness by healing the stuckness that trauma creates — is how we find our way back and align with the divine. I will invite the congregation into a gentle somatic practice: an experiential moment of return that anyone can access, wherever they are on their healing journey.

This is not a talk about fixing what is broken. It is an invitation to remember what has always been whole. Because you were never really gone. You were simply waiting for it to feel safe enough to return home to your body.
