Shamanic Perspectives on Trauma — with Janine Ma-Ree

Trauma processing and trauma awareness has risen a lot in the healing fields. While trauma has been primarily boxed in a psychological model, shamanic perspectives can offer a wider lense.

Janine Ma-Ree, ISTA Lead Facilitator, speaks with us about how an earth-based shamanic understanding of the body and trauma can support deep personal and collective healing, empowerment and community.  

Janine shares on...

• What 'shamanic' means in the context of trauma
• How the elements are essential to understand in the healing journey
• What 'trauma' means
• Why the same experience may be traumatic for one person, but not for another
• Shamanic perspectives of the FREEZE response and how to honour and support frozen parts of ourselves, friends, lovers or clients
• How to avoid looping in processing the emotional body (which can retraumatize you!)
