UNLEASH Series: "RETURNING TO YOURSELF"

Service Description

This Masterclass is a special time for survivors to gather together on a special topic of interest to our community. "Returning to Yourself: A three-part embodied series for developing agency after trauma" with Megan Margherio, a trauma-informed embodiment coach and author Trauma can disrupt our relationship with choice. It can normalize overriding our needs, questioning our instincts, or looking outside ourselves for permission to speak, move, rest, or simply exist. Returning to Yourself is a three-part, trauma-sensitive series designed to help participants reconnect with their sense of choice, boundaries, and personal agency in the moment. Rather than asking participants to revisit or disclose what happened to them, this series offers gentle, practical opportunities to notice what feels supportive now and to practice responding from a place of preference rather than pressure. Across three 90-minute sessions, we will explore: Choice Reconnecting with the understanding that your participation, attention, movement, and rest belong to you. Boundaries Practicing moving toward what matters to you, moving away from what no longer serves you, pausing to consider your options, and allowing space to change your mind. Agency Building a present-day relationship with preference, voice, and self-trust. Each session will include a thoughtful blend of education, movement, guided meditation, breathwork, creativity, reflection, and choice-based practices. Everything offered is invitational. Participants will be encouraged to engage in ways that feel supportive, including modifying a practice, pausing, observing, or choosing not to participate. Participants will receive educational and activity PDFs, along with simple invitations for how to continue exploring the week’s practices between sessions. This series is about strengthening the relationship with the part of you that can notice, choose, reconsider, and respond. It is part of the ongoing practice in remembering that you are allowed to belong to yourself. We hope you will join us for this three part series!
