A Summer Series ยท July 2026
A summer series of releasing trauma through movement, breath, and sound.
With Dr. Frank Anderson & Paul Denniston
Enroll for July โLive on Zoom, with a limited in-person cohort ยท Every session recorded
The invitation
Our mind believes we have moved on. We can name our patterns and trace them to where they began. But so often, we continue to feel overwhelmed, burdened, reactive, and scattered. Protecting ourselves becomes a survival strategy. One that once kept us safe but now keeps us from fully experiencing inner peace.
That isn't a failure in understanding or processing. It's a sign that something is still held in the body, asking for a different kind of attention.
This summer, Dr. Frank Anderson and Paul Denniston bring together the science of trauma and the practice of the body โ taking what's been suppressed and beginning to move it through, with movement, breath, and sound.
This is not a lecture. Join us for an experiential workshop, and experience a powerful shift when you tune into the wisdom of your body.
The self can be wounded. The soul cannot. Healing begins in remembering the difference.
What's included
Real-time, expert-led teaching, interactive discussion, and a collaborative approach to healing โ four Monday afternoons together.
In every session, simple yet powerful movement, breath, and sound practices that integrate the learning into the body.
All course materials โ videos, readings, and exercises โ organized in one place for ongoing learning, long after July.
Every session is recorded and posted, so you can revisit the work any time โ or catch a week you couldn't join live.
The protective parts we store in the body once kept us safe. Learn to unlock them and move beyond just coping โ in a safe, compassionate, and empowered way.
Grief Yogaยฎ principles โ movement, breath, and sound โ to release stored emotion and foster connection with a whole new dimension of the self.

We meet via Zoom on four Mondays โ July 6, 13, 20, and 27, 2026 โ from 12:00 PM PT / 3:00 PM ET. We'll get together for two hours each week. A limited number of seats are available to attend in person; everyone else joins live on Zoom.
Each week, we record our session and post it to the training platform, usually within a day. You'll have ongoing access to the recordings, so you can revisit the work again and again โ and you won't fall behind.
This course is focused on understanding grief and trauma, and is designed to pull back the curtain on these often-misunderstood experiences.
We'll talk about the ways trauma and grief affect the mind and body, and share strategies for integration and healing.
You're welcome to participate no matter where you are on your grief and trauma journey โ whether it's something you (or your clients) have lived with for years, or something new.
We don't expect this course to be activating, but instead to be a helpful resource: increasing agency and understanding, and offering hope for empowerment and healing.
This course was created to deepen your understanding of and confidence with grief and trauma, and to give you mind/body/spirit tools through a somatic experience. There are no CEUs offered for this training.
Not at all. This mind/body approach focuses on emotional liberation, not physical flexibility โ creating a safe, supportive space where everyone is welcome, regardless of experience or ability.
From surviving to thriving
We begin July 6, and spaces are limited.
