As we close out this year and look toward what’s ahead, we’re thrilled to share our 2026 Calendar of Events — a full lineup of body-based, deeply relational trainings designed to help you meet trauma at the roots…and to support you in staying resourced along the way.

We’ve intentionally included several destination-friendly locations this year — spaces where learning can blend with rest, exploration, community, nature, and adventure.

🌿 December with DTTI: An Invitation to Notice

As we close out 2025, we’re remembering:

❤️ You don’t have to push your way into healing.
❤️ You can soften your way there.

This December, consider inviting a different kind of pace—one where we linger, listen, and let the body show us what it’s been carrying… and what it’s ready to release.

Our December gatherings are shaped by this very wisdom.

✨ Upcoming December Events
— Community Conversations
— Trauma-Responsive Tuesdays
— Digging Roots
— Brainspotting
— TCTSY
(Full details at www.dtti.co)

If you need a space to slow down, to exhale, to return to what’s true in your body—you’re warmly welcome to join us. No performing. No perfection. Just presence.

As we step toward the close of the year…
May your body be a place of refuge.
May rest be a practice of courage.
May resilience rise from the quiet places within.

For the Women Holding Too Much
You’ve almost made it to December— a month that asks for miracles while your body
asks for less.
Less noise.
Less pressure.
Less “just push through.”

This month, instead of offering you another checklist or a polished holiday message, we’re offering you something different:

A pause, a breath, and a place to land.
Here’s what it could be like:

❄️Someone finally understanding, you okay going at your own pace in your own time
❄️Moving your body in a way that doesn’t ask you to be graceful
❄️Realizing you get to decide—every time—what you do or don’t do
❄️Not being fixed, or managed
❄️Learning the language of your own inner yes and inner no
❄️Reclaiming the right to feel what you feel, without apology

TCTSY is where embodiment becomes possible again. You’re invited to:
❄️Step into Trauma Sensitive Yoga For Women, a virtual space to land this month: https://www.openviewyoga.com/product-page/trauma-sensitive-yoga-for-women-december

Have you been feeling an under-current of anxiety lately—and you’re not even sure why?
In Steve Sawyer’s recent live talk, he brielfy described what happens when we’re impacted by collective stress without realizing it.
You know that feeling when you walk into a room and instantly sense tension or conflict, even if no one says a word?
That’s part of our collective nervous system—and the flip side is just as powerful: our collective compassion response, the way we attune to safety, care, and connection.
If this resonated with you, or you want to understand these experiences on a deeper level…
👉 Join Steve on December 12
for a 90-minute deep dive into collective stress, nervous system resonance, and practical tools to restore a sense of balance and clarity.

Many of us were taught to move through the world with layers of protection - shaped by family, community, and the long memory of generational trauma.

We know the impact of that may be urges to silence, to push through, or to pretend - rather than to pause, to repair, to listen with the whole body.

It may also mean living with high shame and avoidance - silencing self compassion.

Brainspotting Phase 2 offers powerful tools for working with some of these deep wounds, as well as the everyday burdens we carry.

It also invites us to be present with ourselves—to notice how our bodies tighten or open, how breath shifts, how the old instincts to guard or minimize show up.

🤗✨️🤗✨️

Imagine an invitation to deepen your Brainspotting practice while also reconnecting with your own healing.

In this upcoming Native/Indigenous-only Brainspotting Phase 2 training in December, we gather in a virtual space where unmasking is not only welcomed—it’s honored.

Unmasking can bring relief; it can also stir activation. In this space, we can acknowledge that both can be true together.

Space for strength, gentleness, story, repair, and the quiet remembering that resilience lives in your body will be invited. You are welcome here exactly as you are.

We would love to see you there ❤️🧠✨️

Brainspotting Phase II for Indigenous clinicians & those who work in Native Agencies
