My clients are incredibly inspiring and bada*s. Love getting to witness them come into greater clarity about what matters to them and how to live accordingly. 🎄
1. a shift to buying fewer, more intentional gifts: in anywhere from six months to 50 years from now, almost every single gift given this holiday season will either be in a waterway or a landfill. Buying fewer gifts makes the experience much more enjoyable, and is a act of care for our planet, too. What works well in our family is that each of the kids receives four gifts: something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read. That limit makes it REALLY fun to shop for them.
2. the courage to have conversations with family about simplifying the celebrations: that might look like fewer celebrations, less complicated celebrations, weaving more meaning into the time together, deciding that adults are no longer going to buy gifts for each other, or something else. What most people have shared is that their family members seem relieved that someone offered options for simplification!
3. feeling free to skip traditions that no longer feel meaningful: elf on the shelf is optional, ya’ll! And so is pretty much everything else!
4. allowing the season to slow them down: in the Northern hemisphere, our biology registers winter as a time of rest, reflection, tending to hearth and home, storytelling, and quiet preparation for the lighter days ahead. It’s amazing what can happen for our wellness when we abide by that biological remembering and knowing.

The volume on hateful and harmful words just got turned WAY up (especially on social media platforms). Take good care of yourself by being mindful about who and what you’re giving your energy and attention to. Choose to spend time in environments that sustain you, and with people who embody kindness and care (and who you enjoy being with!)💜

I’ve been asked how this work has been helpful for my clients. Their stories aren’t mine to share, but what I can offer is my personal experience with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in a group setting (and much of what’s happened for me since then, I commonly hear from others, as well).

The journey itself was intense and beautiful and expansive, and I felt safe and well-supported throughout it. In the 18-months since then, a few incredible shifts that have sustained:

My relationships with my children feel more like I want them to (tender, playful, connected), more of the time. I feel a deep undercurrent of trust that my kids are going to be okay, even as they navigate life’s challenges (which means I worry less and enjoy them more, exactly as they are).

Massive decrease in existential dread. For years I would spend several days each month on the couch feeling hopeless and wondering “What is even the point of all of this??” That’s happened ONE time in the past 18-months. This doesn’t mean I’m now detached from the well-being of our exquisite planet or from caring deeply about the lived experiences of all of Earth’s inhabitants…

What it HAS meant is a massive INCREASE in bandwidth! Which looks like having the capacity for being with ALL of life. And that means having sustained energy for taking meaningful action into the world, while simultaneously cultivating a personal life that feels (largely) “just right.”

I’m deeply grateful to psychedelic medicines and what they’re offering us at this exact moment in human history. That’s the heart and the “why” of this one-day retreat.

I hope you’ll join us.

I'm SO excited to share that after a COVID cancellation in 2020, the 2-day training in Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART) is coming back to the Twin Cities, and will be held on Nov 3rd & 4th at the Minnesota Children's Museum in St. Paul (can't imagine a more perfect location for this type of learning 😊)!

If you're a therapist or other professional who's working with children and adolescents and you're interested in the "why and how" of integrating somatic regulation, attachment-building, and the safe processing of trauma, all supported by the use of sensory equipment (and without relying on language as an entry point!), check this out:

I'll be a co-trainer for this cohort. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or curiosities: amie@amiesummers.com
