SUMMARY:Embodied Gatherings
DESCRIPTION:Embodied Gathering: Discovering Empowerment Together \n\nNOTE:  I will only host a gathering if 4 commit each time.   If gatherings are a priority for you\, I am here for it!!! When we commit to our growth\, magic happens. For whomever wants it\, we will continue to deepen together.\n\n  \nIt is crucial\, especially in times such as these\, that as we find spaces and people who listen to and believe in our stories – to our sacred\, lived experiences.

We show up as we are\, with whatever is going on for us- our joys\, our struggles\, our tears\, and/or our laughter. In a world that has often tried to control us\, or where we have tried to control ourselves\, we learn how empowering it is to be fully ourselves. \nBelonging\, community\, connection and a healthy nervous system are crucial for our well-being\, and a safe community is the perfect place to discover our relationship with life.  We gather to become more intimate with\, and more available for\, our life.  For those who would like support in their journey\, this is an affordable\, safe option. \n  \nAn empowered container for us evolve together \nEvery day I witness a sense of empowerment when people feel safe enough to honestly connect to their actual lived experiences\, when their sorrows and celebrations are allowed\, named\, spoken\, expressed\, and felt.

Please contact me with questions\, concerns or future dates: LLMEUSER@ME.COM     Investment: Sliding scale\, what you can afford – $10-25 per gathering. Anything over $20 goes to my scholarship fund. To sign up please send a PayPal payment to LLMEUSER@ME.COM\, subject line “Gathering” along with your email address so I can send you a link.   No one turned away due to insufficient funds. Minimum participants required: 4\, Maximum: 15 More Information: Gatherings focus on practical and experiential exercises specifically designed for the development of self-awareness\, self-love\, safety and a healthy nervous system. Each gathering is organically shaped around attendees’ needs and wants. Each gathering includes a guided rest\, time for questions and sharing\, ways to heal the nervous system\, and ways to engage in self-inquiry. Participation is always optional. In this group we honor our experiences and we learn that we don’t have to pretend\, or hide\, or run. We gather together in a welcoming space where we are allowed to be exactly who we are\, exactly as we are\, and through slow\, simple experiential practices we realize that profound safety can be found right here and now. Safety is important. Our bodies\, our spirits\, and our psyches function with more well-being when safety is known from within. We live in a culture that often disempowers and creates stress\, a culture that conditions us to find our well-being in people\, places\, and superficial activities and things – without teaching us sustainable\, empowering safety from the inside out. As such\, we often don’t know how to cope with existing in an overwhelming world\, or how to recover from traumatic experiences. Many of us have developed post-traumatic stress as a result\, and have forgotten that safety is possible. We can learn. By providing a safe environment for this deliberate purpose\, we can slowly and gently learn what it’s like to feel safe. We come together to find safety in our experiences and discover that we are safe – even when we have fear\, trauma or loud core stories and emotions. All are welcome here regardless of political affiliation\, sexual orientation\, race\, gender or background. You are important\, and appreciated\, whoever you are.   From past participants: Lisa is like a cocoon for expansion and love.  I really love working with her.  She walks her talk and creates a space for acceptance and non-judgment and I’m better able to accept and not judge myself and others.  My heart has opened in my work with her.  So grateful.     It is quite breathtaking to experience you working with a group; watching and listening to your communion with who-they-really-are. You have a gift\, Lisa.    You represent what Adyashanti talks about:  “A safe place for the world to come and rest.” You are that safe\, benign presence in the world.   I have listened to the recording many times since our gathering. It continues to support me.    I have discovered writing as a way to connect with myself and others. I didn’t know I had these words inside of me!     About me.

SUMMARY:2022 Matrix Integration Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Edit: the 2022 Matrix Integration Exploration will be 8 months instead of 10\, and will be geared towards mental health\, well-being and healing professionals. Click here for more info!\n\n \n\n**** I have been receiving inquiries for 2022’s Matrix Integration Exploration\, where\, over 10 months you’ll have the opportunity to get conscious of the patterned thoughts that determine your life and cause nervous system dis-regulation\, and learn how to consciously and intentionally rewire them\, slowly over time\, and discover what other possibilities exist as your nervous system learns how to sustainably stay in regulation. BOOM. This is transformational work\, and you will have a community of practice to support you along the way.\n\nIncluded in our time together\, we will:\n\n 	Learn about the dominant oppressive narrative and how it influences your daily life\, and what other narratives might be possible\n 	Learn how to do simple consensual inquiry (an inquiry that I developed) with oneself so as to get more self-aware with that dominant oppressive narrative\n 	Use practices which increase self-awareness\, and start to pave the way for remembering another co-existing reality\n 	Actively engage in a transformative wisdom-based narrative that centers well-being\n 	Learn how to be present with oneself through a compassionate lens of allowance\n 	Learn how to be held by another person in Presence\, and how to be that person for others\n 	Learn how to use consensual and simple inquiry to support another person\n 	Learn that it is safe to connect to other human beings through our community of practice\n 	Learn how to be empowered\, conscious and active change agents in the world\n 	so much more!\n\nI do not have the final details\, but sharing last year’s information will be a good start.\n\nPlease read here\, and let me know if you have any questions! I am looking forward to journeying with you!  **\n\n \n\nImpact sharings from 2021 Matrix Integration Exploration participants:\n\n\n 	Matrix Integration Exploration has helped me feel unconditionally loved and supported by community as I have never experienced it before. The strong community experience and one-on-one sessions with Lisa offered me a space of trust has allowed me to really see my inner oppressive patterning and trauma that have kept me from being fully connected to myself\, to others\, to purpose and love. The tools we’ve acquired throughout the course have allowed me to engage with my rather intense experiencing of the world and strong emotions in a way that feels save\, allowing me to trust more in change and the unknowing\, be open for more than what I can control while taking ownership of my actions\, surrender to life and allowing myself to be fully human\, to be imperfect and whole at once. Actively building these social ties as well as the common learning process and sharing of experiences give hope and trust that after the darkness comes light\, and that when things do feel too much for oneself\, one really isn’t alone. Connecting back with the sacredness of my own humanity is allowing me to step into more loving relationships with others\, as well. The course has taught me what I have been desiring deeply inside of me – how to decolonize and heal from inside out. I take with me tools that allow me to be my own mother and grounding place and at the same time that I can pass on to what is around me – to build healthy and supportive relationships\, and do community work and activism in a regenerative way that puts love first. \n\n \n\n 	For 10 long years I was agoraphobic because my body was in a state of almost constant anxiety. Dissociation made it impossible to drive. I couldn’t work\, I couldn’t socialize\, and I couldn’t find joy. I was absolutely frozen and didn’t know why or how to do anything about it. So\, I began working with Lisa and doing her free rest meditations almost daily. She taught me how to slowly and gently begin to re-wire my neural pathways and soothe my nervous system. At first I didn’t understand how doing the rests would help me\, until one day I realized I was able to sit in my breathing body and feel absolutely safe. It was stunning. I eventually learned how to be with my discomfort while simultaneously staying connected to things that felt supportive to me (the chair underneath me\, my hands clasped together\, my feet on the floor) and without spinning out and dissociating. It was such a great relief and it gave me so much hope that I might thrive in life again one day.     I felt nervous to do the Matrix Integration Exploration because I feel so awkward socially. But I quickly realized how wonderful it was to be in community with others who were also committed to self-discovery and self-transformation. Everyone is so open\, honest\, and courageous in their sharing that it makes me feel safe enough to let down my guard. This last year has taught me so much about myself and about the dominant oppressive narrative of the culture I live in. It taught me the importance of having a beginner’s mind and the value of vulnerability in safe and nurturing space. It taught me how to discover my deepest fears and my deepest desires. I have been braver than I ever knew I could be because of MIE and the community it provides. It’s been life-changing.
