Language of the Soul – Being the Presence of Truth

Event Summary

About the event

Chiron, the archetype of the wounded healer, journeyed on a lifelong quest to discover a cure for his wounds and, in doing so, discovered how to heal many others, which brought him solace. Shavasti (John L Payne) presents this Language of the Soul for Therapists, Counsellors, Healers, and Family Constellation Facilitators alike.

You will be taken on a journey to discover the value of being present with your own wounding as a bridge of compassion in the process of assisting your clients to delve into and through their wounds to uncover their ability to reach resolution. As therapists, each of us goes through trials in life, rites of passage, each of which teaches us compassion. Healing, in its purest form, is an art, an act of grace, rather than being a science of the mind. When hearts connect, healing takes place.

During this day, you will learn tools that will assist you to move beyond logical structure, trying to ‘figure it out’, into a state of being with individual client work or Family Constellation work that will take you into a more intuitive sense of what is important in the moment. Language and language syntax play an important role in healing – within the context of Family Constellations, we have come to use the term ‘healing sentences’, however, when employed from a place of empathy, they become powerful tools when used in individual sessions, no matter the modality. Journey with me to more deeply understand their importance and the energy that is the foundation of this profoundly transformative healing modality.

At the core of this introductory training, rather than just learning a menu of standard healing sentences, we will begin to experience Healing Sentences as a transmission, one in which the truth inhabits the silence after the words have been spoken.
