You are Held: A Shamanic Path to Secure Attachment

You Are Held: A Shamanic Path to Secure Attachment

with Cain Carroll and Mark Tanaka
 

April 10 - June 2


We are each part of the unbroken fabric of life. 



Yet, we so often feel disconnected and depressed.



It is deep connection that we need. 



Come and create together…a warm circle that holds each of us in all that we are. 



Enter an 8-week shamanic container to explore the view of Asian animistic traditions and learn practices that bring you more fully into relationship with the living cosmos.

Feel what it’s like to live in a world that is animated, sentient, and responsive.

Deepen in the arts of ritual and relationship that return you to the feeling of secure connection and loving intimacy with life.

  • Therapists

  • Committed Spiritual Practitioners

  • Transformational Guides

  • Yoga Teachers

  • Dharma Leaders

About Your Guides

From Mark and Cain,

Since we met in Hawaii in 1998, we have been exploring the radical ways that Asian wisdom traditions inform the process of trauma resolution, spiritual awakening, inter-generational healing, and global transformation. In this 8-week container, we will share some gems, key principles, and practices we’ve found most transformative for ourselves and our students.

Let’s co-create a sacred circle that enlivens the innate power within each of us!

DAO ROOTS OF ZEN, SHINTO ROOTS OF TEA (Germany)

  • Zen Center Altbäckersmühle (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

An experiential journey into the Daoist spirit of Zen and the Shinto heart of ceremonial tea

The course is taught in English.

Join Gerow Reece and Cain Carroll, for this engaging weekend retreat at Zen Center Altbäckersmühle in Singhofen, Germany.

Gerow’s warm presence will welcome you into the remarkable experience of tea. Cain’s attuned guidance will lead you into an embodied exploration of key Dao-Zen principles and practices.

Together, in a circle of mutual support, we will trace historical threads to explore how the Daoist worldview, prevalent in ancient China before the arrival of Buddhism, provides key insights into the unique mindset and practice of Ch’an/Zen. With mindfully whisked bowls of matcha tea in hand, we will experience how Shinto, Japan’s indigenous spiritual culture, illuminates a deeper understanding and appreciation of Zen-Tea, human relatedness, and the sacredness of all life.

Join us in a relaxed and communal atmosphere as we integrate study, stillness, movement-based somatic practices (Qigong), and mindfulness into everyday activities.

Participants of all levels of experience are welcome.

Awakening the Nine Core Archetypes

Empowering the Nine Core Archetypes: Archetypal Parts Work for Secure Attachment

with Cain Carroll

October 2024 - June 2025


Art Credit: The Alchemical Wedding by
Emily Balivet

This is a nine-month in-depth process of somatic parts work (sharing common principles with Internal Family Systems, IFS). We use nine core archetypes -- universal symbols and patterns of behavior -- to ignite profound awakening, deep healing, and rewiring of the brain and nervous system.

Through a guided process of inner exploration of the Nine Core Archetypes, you will gain deeper self-understanding and switch on latent powers that enable you to heal attachment-based traumas, increase vitality, and live with a greater sense of freedom and joy.

Strengthen Your Resilience

Through embodied archetype work, you'll learn effective ways of improving poly-vagal tone to cultivate a resilient nervous system that can better adapt to life's ups and downs. Through a progressive rewiring of your inner system, you can release feelings of overwhelm and build a newfound sense of groundedness and stability.

Heal Relationship Attachment Traumas with Embodied Archetype Work

Unlock the transformative power of embodied archetype work to rewire your capacity for secure attachment in relationships, better communication, and more a fulfilling sense of connectedness.

One powerful lesson I learned in this work is that the trumatic residue that we have accumulated in our lives actually can be released if we can connect directly with our somatic experience through meditative practice. This was important for me to understand; that I can actually transform my habitual life pattern of being afraid that others will hurt me.

By coming into direct conscious relationship with my feelings and sensations, I am realizing I can love again.
— M. Prakash

Cain’s work is establishing a new reference point. I’ve never heard anyone speak so eloquently right out of their heart — with confidence and deep self-respect — while staying connected. Thanks for creating safety and for your knowledge and wisdom. You’ve just raised the bar for all of us.

Join us in beautiful Monte Sereno for a day of inner cultivation and deep reflection based on study of the traditional Daoist text titled, The Classic of Clarity and Tranquility.
