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? In our current times of existential uncertainty, when 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, transgenerational trauma, 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 comprehensive framework for transformation 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, body-centered wisdom, 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RPM is designed to support each participant in the commitment, deconstruction, and illumination necessary to transform outdated ways of co- existing so that we may expand our ability to take regenerative actions that benefit nature and the whole of humanity.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. In this six-module retreat-style training you will learn the foundations of the Regeneration Process Method for working with legacies of transgenerational trauma and the systemic cycles of violence and oppression that continue to block the ability to create lasting positive change. RPM will support you to develop new skills and expand your worldview from which to inspire new levels of transformations in yourself, your clients, and your communities. Now is the time in human history to re-member the principles of regeneration, to understand what it means to live a regenerative life, and to apply this understanding to taking regenerative action that benefits all of nature and humanity.
Participants in the RPM training will meet in a beautiful retreat setting for each of the six modules. The training format is intentionally designed to offer participants connection with nature, their own body~mind~heart~spirit, and a supportive learning community. Each module of the training is designed as an in-depth participatory learning experience based on one of the six phases of RPM. Through experiential learning, short lectures,demonstrations, applied practice of skills, group discussions and personal reflection participants move through the six phases of RPM culminating in group supported regenerative action that is inspired by each person’s desire for positive change in their community.
