Survivorship Ritual Abuse Webinar

Saturday, January 22
noon Pacific Time
Isadora of the OwlClan

"Connecting the Brain: Information and Exercises for Healing."

I’d like to start by offering some reassurance about the Webinars themselves.

They are open to everybody, not just Survivorship members. They are easy to join. If you can make a telephone call and click a button you are technically savvy enough to attend a Webinar. They are informal and survivor-friendly. You can take breaks if you need or ask for on-line or e-mail support if you get overwhelmed. They are informative and a great way to feel less isolated. (And for the worried littles, there is no camera and nobody can see you or know who you are. Totally private!)

I hope you join us!

DESCRIPTION OF THE WEBINAR Some kinds of trauma and “split-brain” programming have caused survivors to have difficulty thinking with the right and left sides of their brains at the same time. Steps to healing involve first understanding what parts of the brain usually do what jobs and then finding activities that help the brain heal damaged pathways. We will focus on some simple exercises in movement, drawing, and music that can assist survivors in their healing journeys.

Isadora of the OwlClan is a member of a multiple system that has survived ritual abuse and child pornography. The OwlClan is currently working on their master’s degree in psychology. The OwlClan has also been using dance and bodywork for over ten years as a part of their own healing.


COST
Last year, Webinars cost $20.00. Now we have changed to a sliding scale so that each person can pay what they are able to. The scale starts at $50.00 and, in $5.00 increments, goes down to $0.00 (full scholarship). There is no longer any need to request a full or partial scholarship -- you make the decision yourself. (Please factor in the cost of a telephone call to the East Coast.)
