Writing My Heart Open
A Writing for Healing Course & Community
Facilitated by Khatija Dadabhoy
Enrollment is now open.
This 9 week guided course begins
Monday, March 6, 2023
This course is an exploration into our stories of trauma and unresolved pain with a focus on creating somatic awareness and safety in the body. Opening the door to our unresolved trauma and pain is really necessary and sometimes overwhelming. With guidance, practical tools, and a process of inquiry we can navigate that exploration more effectively. This guided process, using the Writing My Heart Open journal and guidebook, is designed to provide what is crucial to healing and repair in a holistic way.
This course will be held via Zoom, and sessions will be recorded for those that cannot make it live.
The Journey
Week 1: Introducing the material and the process as well as getting to know each other in community.
Week 2: Meeting the Self and Discovering Safety. We start our journey with light exploration of ourselves and discovering the energetic signature of safety as we create a safe container to do deeper and more challenging work.
Week 3: Establishing Safety and Coming into the Body. We often lose connection with our bodies as pain and trauma cause us to dissociate or feel unsafe in our own internal space. We begin reestablishing a safe connection to our bodies through somatic awareness and dialogue so that we can feel again.
Week 4: Getting to Know Our Emotional Selves. Feeling is the gateway to liberation and keeps the energy channels flowing freely. Here we get to know what our emotions are trying to clue us into and we practice feeling emotions in our bodies.
Week 5: Entering the Story. The work we do in the previous weeks sets us up to safely enter into our stories and go through the often times challenging process of remembering and recounting.
Week 6: Exploring the Shattered Pieces. The work becomes deeper this week as we examine and delve into the nuances of the stories our bodies, hearts, and minds are holding.
Week 7: Seeing From Different Angles. Here we get to change our vantage point and experiment with seeing our experiences in different ways. It is an opportunity for reinterpretation that lends itself to resolution and healing.
Week 8: What I’m Taking With Me. This is the descent from the mountain where we look back and see what growth has occurred and what good we’d like to take with us from our journeys. We look at how often painful experiences can be positive transformative agents.
Week 9: Where Do I Grow From Here. The last week is all about post traumatic growth and blossoming. It is a chance to connect to our intuition, vision what is next for us, and access higher emotional states such as joy and play. It is where we see what it is like to come home to ourselves after a long journey.
