Join two facilitators of healing as they walk alongside you through a rebirthing process in this 2-day awakening to the true meaning of life. We will follow a five-phase sequence to provide a new understanding of how our daily experiences are here to guide our souls into expansion.
Day 1 will consist of the first three phases - Intention, Preparation & Action. We will gather at terra sol sanctuary to cultivate the healing surround. After bringing our intentions into the field, there will be discussion, traditional Tantra yoga, meditation, napping, body mapping and exploration of our interconnectedness. On Day 2, we will flow through the last two phases of the sequence - Follow Through & Integration. This will be a time of radical awareness of your imprints and what you came to this Earth to heal. One person at a time, we will offer therapeutic touch - craniosacral therapy, treatment of the vagus nerve and Chi Nei Tsang - holding space for one another in the sacred container of support.
Every experience that comes to us is for us and our evolution. We will remember what it means to fully feel and how to let feelings freely move through us with breath and silence, transmuting the energy rather than feeding it. When we are triggered, instead of reacting, we can stop and make a new choice, one that is based in knowing that the experience is happening for us. We will practice pausing, becoming aware of our thoughts, being gentle with ourselves and contemplate what is trying to present itself. Awareness is the key to moving all stagnant energy and emotion in the physical body, transforming them so we can experience what we want in life.
Craniosacral Touch: During resting postures, meditation and on Day 2, you will have the opportunity to receive gentle hands-on methods of Craniosacral touch; feeling the bones, tissues and fluids of the body being held as they shift to wholeness and a state of primary respiration. Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive therapy designed to listen to and support nerve pathways in the body to integrate and heal. It is in this kind of accepting, receptive, and nonjudgmental holding field that healing unfolds at a cellular level. Various Craniosacral holds will be implemented, including your feet and head.
Chi Nei Tsang: This will be offered individually on day one and day two. The literal translation means “Internal organ chi transformation” . CNT was originally developed by the White Cloud Taoist Monks in China over 5000 years ago to help strengthen and refine their bodies in order to maintain the high energy required to perform the highest level of spiritual practices. Today, it is used as a healing touch modality that integrates the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being. CNT is performed through precise therapeutic touch to the abdomen. Emotions are carried in the body when we do not allow ourselves to FEEL them completely and are stored as energetic charges that need to be processed physically. The key to the healing process is awareness. Once we are consciously aware of our emotional charges, our body’s innate intelligence takes over and digestion (transmutation of energy) occurs. Healing is not facilitated through the rational mind, only through body intelligence. This IS evolution and what it means to outgrow ourselves. Thoughts and beliefs can then evolve, allowing us to align with our true nature, hence change our experiences individually AND as a Whole.
With access to the body’s intelligence, we will notice how the microcosmic (inner) world is manifested in the macrocosmic (outer) world. We will begin to alchemize the body, shifting emotional baggage to its higher frequency. From a restored and revitalized inner place, we will realign with our true nature. What we heal in ourselves we also heal in our ancestors and future generations.

Tricia Koenig has dedicated her life to reconnecting to her Native American roots and finding the common threads that tie all cultures together. Her core belief is that returning to right relationship within ourselves is how we heal our relationship to all that is. We all carry memories from this lifetime as well as ancestral memories within our cells. This knowing has propelled her to travel the world to learn the ancient alchemical art of Chi Nei Tsang from as many elder teachers as possible. She has also studied Ayurveda and Celtic Herbalism as a way to facilitate healing and help individuals return to their true nature. By far though, the most profound teachers in her life have been her own pain, discomfort, and difficult choices. Through learning not to resist or hold on to them, she is cultivating right relationship with her intuition, one’s true healer and compass. To learn more, contact Tricia at 910-777-4200.
