Foundations of Trauma Informed Meditation
JOIN TODAY!Healing Meditation with a Trauma-Informed lens
Welcome to the  Foundations of Trauma Informed Meditation
brought to you by The Centre for Healing.
We all think that meditation is the practice of stilling the mind.
However, this oversimplification can create negative outcomes in the trauma-informed space.
In the old paradigm of healing, our meditation is overly technique focused — with the belief that the technique itself provides healing, growth and liberation.
In the short course Ava breaks down the fundamental differences between healing and awakening styles of meditation, unlocking the key ingredient to being trauma-informed. You will learn the essential ingredients of, and practice powerful and trauma-informed styles of meditation.
Your intuition about the discernment required in meditation and spiritual practice will be confirmed in 4 powerful modules, completely changing the way you think about spiritual practice, trauma and meditation.
In theory, meditation sounds powerful, exciting and useful for us. But in practice, meditation can be a tool for disassociation, reinforcing trauma and disconnection, or worse, leading us down an unfruitful path where we loose our motivation to pursue our healing at all. Learn the ingredients to a functional, effective practice in both individual and group settings.

"Dear Ava, Listening to your journey and the paradigm of healing this morning. I was observing the overwhelming response from some of the communities, this made me realise how far I have traveled and emotionally grown with you. Thank you very much for creating such a wonderful, healing space and most of all for being you"

What Other Students have to say...
"I’d been searching far and wide for the right spiritual mentorship and heart-centred community. Ava’s teachings resonated with me perfectly from the first podcast and this expanded into a mentorship that has completely altered my life. Today, peace echoes through my whole being, and my life is unfolding in ways I never previously thought possible. Functional Spirituality is a tried and tested spiritual method that works."

"I wanted to share that a few weeks ago my 10 yo daughter showed some interest in my morning meditation. I asked her if she'd like to join me. She said sure. So she chose a 6 minute meditation from Ava. The next day she chose a 9 minute meditation. Some days she doesn't feel like it. Today we did 17 minutes. She played down this time and halfway she curled up and looked so content. I am so grateful to you. The joy of sharing this gift with her I have no words for xx"
