Learn how to combine secular meditation practices along with specific skills and modifications that support stabilization, regulation and actually help people heal from the effects of toxic stress.

Laurie Cousins, mindfulness teacher and Echo-trained facilitator, recognizes that mindfulness can be a double-edged sword for trauma survivors. Sometimes, going inwards when our brains are full of critical voices or memories we struggle to evade can actually make us more agitated. And yet research has shown that mindfulness can improve overall health, build resilience, and support trauma recovery.
In this new, experiential training, Laurie will introduce you to mindfulness for trauma survivors. She builds on secular meditation practice with modifications and skills to help the survival brain and nervous system calm down so that trauma survivors may also enjoy the benefits of mindfulness.
Maybe you've been curious about mindfulness but as a trauma survivor have not felt safe enough to try it. Maybe you work with students, families, or communities and want to incorporate mindfulness-based practices in a safe and non-harming way.
If that is you, we invite you to come explore all that mind-body practices can offer.
