2 Day Introduction Workshop—Introducing fundamental concepts of the Regeneration Process Method
-
Abstract
When we look to our natural environment, we can see its need for us to make large scale changes to mitigate global warming and balance the relationships we have with one another as humans. The disparity in basic survival needs is sharp when we see the global concerns of ecological destruction that have become harder for the average person to continue to ignore or disbelieve. Eco-Anxiety is felt by most of us on some level, and by our children the most when they try to see a future in which they have a solid sense of opportunity. Thus, the question of our current times is, how do we create change on a large scale? How do we support the individual to make the necessary changes that will not only benefit their family, but the larger world in which they live, in which we all live?
Persistent systemic legacies of transgenerational trauma often leave us in a position to view change as happening to us, thus faced with a fear of losing control, our animal defenses are engaged to flee or fight it, freeze, or submit to it, rather than inviting change as a necessary element of spiritual growth and human development. In our current times of existential uncertainty, the accumulation of degenerative actions over centuries have proven to deteriorate our ecological, communal, psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being. The tools we are provided with from Western psychological theory and psychotherapy practice are insufficient to address the persistence of the cycles of violence, oppression, racism, and consumption of natural resources that continue to escalate today. Perhaps even the way we attempt to create change must change.
The Regeneration Process Method [RPM] provides a framework for transformation that extends through time to both past and future generations. It is a comprehensive process that restores our personal and collective energy, giving us more vitality for lasting systemic change. Based on the circular nature of a spiritual path, shamanic initiation, applied depth psychology, and engaged communal participation, RPM is a somatic-spiritual approach to transformation. RPM is designed to support each participant in the commitment, deconstruction, and illumination necessary to transform outdated ways of co-existing so that we may expand our ability to take regenerative actions that benefit nature and the whole of humanity. In an ecosystem, what heals one, heals all.
Learning Objectives
This is a two-day workshop introducing the roots from which the Regeneration Process Method was created and how it can be applied as a tool for systemic change. It is considered a prerequisite workshop to further course work with the Transgenerational Regeneration Institute but can also be taken as an individual course with regenerative benefits to participants. Through lecture, demonstrations and experientials the following learning objectives will be met:
• Explain the implications of transgenerational trauma on our current social, racial, and ecological crises.
• Discuss why racial equity and reconciliation is a leading goal of regenerative action.
• Define large scale systemic change and its leading emotional and psychological barriers.
• Assess the barriers to systemic change from within a prominent model of trauma-imposed dissociation.
• Compare the goals of transformation through the lenses of Western psychology, Eastern philosophy, Spirituality and Shamanism.
• Discuss how both body and spirit are essential when engaging in psychological and emotional processes of change.
• Define the 6 phases of the Regeneration Process Method and the roots from which it was created.
• Identify a felt sense understanding of one’s own regeneration needs and pathways to meeting them.
• Apply beginning techniques of the Regeneration Process Method to:
• Challenge privilege and confront systemic racism and oppression.
• Work with eco-anxiety, helplessness, and grief in your community.
• Integrate spirituality as a necessary means to lasting change.
• Engage in collective healing through regenerative action.
The Regeneration Process Method can be applied as a complementary framework to current psychotherapies or engaged as a standalone method. It is designed to support the systemic regenerative change of an individual, group, business, community, and society. Please join us in creating a community of regenerators!
