A client reached out to me this morning and asked me to share his story. I said yes. Not everyone has this story, AND this is his, and I was so moved and inspired to hear the effects of his healing.
Healing can be complex. Our stories and soul journeys and grief and unmet needs are so diverse from one another, and not everyone experiences a story that "closes the gap" for them in such a linear way - ye,s I deeply believe that everyone has the ability to have a story that brings them this kind of comfort.
This man asked me to share this story for 3 reasons:
One: to share the power of vulnerability and allowing. The power of softening and receiving. The absolute inspiration of the bravery behind that
Two: so parents and children who ARE healing can know it isn't too late.
Three: so young parents and old parents and inner parents and in-between parents can know the power and magnitude of love. To hold and hug their children tighter. To know that they matter and their impact matters
I have had the absolute honor of my life in facilitating quite a few of these sessions with parents and adult children. I have seen many rebirths, with or without birth parents present.
I have seen the bravest humans face themselves and their children with Grace and redemptive love
I have watched in awe as people stepped into their truthiest truth and melted in love
I have watched individuals honor themselves and their loved ones with fullness, humanity, and divinity
I'll say here if you want to come to a session or retreat WITH your parent, as an adult child, it would be an honor to witness and assist facilitate a space for you to have a repair, beyond time and space, honoring all the time and space and grief and longing and gratitude and forgiveness and anger and pain that came before.
Lastly, the Weekend Retreat that I'll be hosting in my home in August is coming up, and I'm thrilled to share that we will be doing deep repair work. We will be using family constellations, Rebirthing (in water), breathwork, medicine without medicine journey, embodiment practices, somatic healing, bodywork, and more. If you want to join us, there is one spot left!
