Trauma and Our Broken Fields: Projection and What Others See – In-Person Workshop with Sarah Peyton

About the Event

Do you ever notice yourself reacting to people in surprising ways or seeing something that isn’t there? Or wondering what others are seeing in us and why are they reacting to us the way they do? What exactly is projection? And how is it protecting ourselves or others? What role does trauma play in all this?

Where?

This 2-day in-person workshop will be at Wellspring Conference Center in Germantown, MD, north of Washington, D.C.  Check-in begins the night before on June 3.

When?

This event is an in-person* intensive that stretches over 3 calendar days. There is dinner at 6 pm and a check with all the participants on the night of June 3rd. The workshop will run 9am-5pm on Saturday with 1.5 hours for lunch.  There will be an optional group constellation offered in the evening after dinner on Saturday.  On Sunday, the workshop will run from 8:30am-4pm, again for 1.5 hours for lunch.

What To Expect:

Each day we alternate between short lectures on neuroscience and constellation concepts with smaller group and dyad work to explore and practice the concepts.  This workshop will include an evening constellation exploration on the first day of the workshop. If you’re a visual learner you can imagine small islands of didactic learning, surrounded by slightly larger islands of small-group learning, and then interspersed with large, full-group work.

Neuroscience, NVC empathy and resonance let us enter the world of our relational shadows with more self-compassion and understanding. Join relational neuroscience educator Sarah Peyton for two days of in-person exploration to discover what relational neuroscience teaches us about projection and how to leverage our new knowledge.

Who Is This Event For?
