In her clinical and personal quest for how individuals who experience trauma can recover with grace and ease, Dr. Stephanie Mines learned that the brain and the body are resources for activating recovery from destabilizing experiences. Her talk on THE NEUROCHEMISTRY OF GRATITUDE reveals how neurohormones that enhance focus and presence are activated by overt and internal expressions of gratitude. THE BODY’S WISDOM shows you how your own touch on certain sites of the body accelerates health. The combination of healing thought and healing touch makes it possible to live a resilient life every single day no matter what the outside conditions may be. We can evolve more and more throughout our lives. The body and the brain continually learn and evolve when they are nourished.

Course fee: $150. This does not include materials. The TARA Approach to Self-Care, Map of the Body and the book WE ARE ALL IN SHOCK can be ordered directly through the TARA Approach website (www.Tara-Approach.org). By ordering in advance you can be prepared for the course thus allowing everyone to have a more profound experience together.

At the request of TARA Approach students this four day advanced training focuses on how the TARA Approach can be used for issues of alignment, movement and structural ailments, particularly when they are chronic, and cranial treatment. Dr. Mines approaches these questions from a comprehensive standpoint. What do your structural ailments have to do, for instance, with your family history, your epigenetic exposures, and your immune system? Could it be that the symptoms that grab your attention are not really what are behind your pain? The TARA Approach Advanced Training offers stunning insight into alignment disorders alongside cutting edge subtle treatment interventions. Students will see, for instance, how positioning in utero and at birth shapes structural development. Students receive training manuals dedicated to this field. 10-5 Daily; $700USD tuition only.

Accommodation can be arranged by students directly through Star of the Sea Retreat Centre.

Dr. Mines is dedicating this Foundations program to the power of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. New as well as returning students will be bathed in what makes the TARA Approach utterly unique. The treatment pathways we utilize are the very ones designed to resolve core issues. In fact, acupuncturist Yvonne Farrell calls them “The Holy Grail” of energy medicine. She says that the Eight Extraordinary Vessels “remind us of the uniqueness and perfection of original self and allow us to bring forth the light that is our purpose for being here. They put us back on track to pursue our destiny.” This energy medicine is your birthright. When you match it with the TARA dialogues that increase awareness, you receive what belongs to you ~ the healthy life you were born to live. 10-5 Daily; $800USD tuition only (repeating students ~ $750USD)

Accommodation can be arranged by students directly through Star of the Sea Retreat Centre.

The Women’s Council is hosted by Joey Walters, founder of Awakening Feminine Leaders, in collaboration with TARA Approach founder Dr. Stephanie Mines; movement therapist Deborah Jay-Lewin; Scottish novelist Margaret Elphinstone; singer/songwriter Eleanor Brown and more, all of whom are co-participating. ”How can we embrace our feminine wisdom and co-create a new culture of care for ourselves and our world?” At the heart of this Circle Retreat is a Wisdom Council; a deep inquiry and sacredly held space to tap into our collective wisdom and power as women. The practice of the Wisdom Council is rooted in ancient Earth Wisdom Teachings and nature-based Circle principles that will guide our inquiry. We’ll explore the most essential personal and collective questions we are holding about our role as feminine leaders in creating a cultural shift that breathes feminine consciousness and balance into our world.

ENDING SHAME AND ADDICTION: ENERGY MEDICINE FOR THE SOUL: TARA Approach students who have completed at least one iteration of Essence and Empowerment or the TARA Approach Foundations course are eligible to attend this class. Designed by previous TARA Approach students ENDING SHAME AND ADDICTIONS is a class for those ready to step into their essential empowerment by disinhibiting resistance, erasing guilt and shame, and manifesting the fluid bioelectricity that is the experience of optimum health and awareness. Students learn how to use the extraordinary energy medicine component of the TARA Approach (Jin Shin TARA) effectively to address chronic patterns of self-sabotage, avoidance, procrastination, holding back, resistance and disempowerment that are the basis of addiction. Each student will have the opportunity to create a personal constellation that represents their addictive patterns with the purpose of disinhibiting it completely. The physiology of addiction, including the patterns of sympathetic and parasympathetic dominances, will be examined with an eye to instilling a much more integrated nervous system balance. Through their own process of self-advancement each participant becomes a model for others personally and professionally.

REGISTRATION IS THROUGH THE FINDHORN FOUNDATION HERE.

In this workshop you will learn how to easily touch the various energy points to balance the body's energy system, which strengthens both physical and mental health and provides peace of mind and body. You will also learn about the nervous system's reactions through stress and trauma, and why this energy medicine is so effective in treating traumatic stress in the body. The focus is primarily self-treatment, but we help each other by keeping a close eye on each other's energy points as well.

Runa is educated in the Danish psychomotor tradition, and teaches the energy medicine Jin-Shin-Tara. This can be used by both therapists and others without prior experience.
She has backgrounds from theater, cancer care and adult psychiatry. Runa has accumulated much of this wisdom in the book "Home in Your Own Body", which is sold throughout the festival.

We live in a world of increasing sensory inundation where identifying and following one's purposeful inner guidance becomes more and more complicated. The TARA Approach guides you back to your essential purpose, the one you brought with you when you were conceived, and empowers you to follow your truth into this world where it is desperately needed.

Participants in this course learn how to reclaim and support their essential selves by practicing a combination of dialogue and applied touch. Anyone, regardless of their professional background, can engage equally in the stirring reclamation of self that restores the health of the physical and energetic bodies simultaneously.

The Rivers of Splendor are the Extraordinary Vessels that develop in utero and encode essential purpose into the cells of the body. They are the DNA of the human spirit and the download of the soul. Health constellates around these formative designs. The TARA Approach to hands-on subtle treatment is the only system that touches these pathways. TARA’s pulse listening decodes messages from these bioelectrical circuits. Gentle touch responds to the information that is retrieved. In this way the Rivers of Splendor are regenerated so that each individual can flow towards their home-self in body, mind and spirit. Advanced TARA Approach students (those who have completed a Foundations course) are eligible to explore the nature of these Rivers in an intensive small group setting outside of Oslo, Norway. Hosted by Certified TARA Approach Self-Care Teacher Runa Helmersen this course aims to correlate the Rivers of Splendor with The Depths. The Depths translate as embryogenesis or embryological unfolding. Students will be engaged in largely experiential learning dynamics that focuses on individual embodiment. Students will gain a profound awareness of the preciousness of human life and individual purpose along with specific tools to empower others to live vitally and courageously as their essential selves.

This introductory course is for anyone who would like to learn how to balance the nervous system and restore its innate integrity after it has been overwhelmed or overloaded.

There are 26 points on the body that are particularly powerful energy centres. In this workshop we will learn how we can use our hands to touch these energy centres and bring balance and reorganisation to the nervous system. We will practice simple self care treatments (Flows) which we can use on ourselves and others and incorporate in our Shiatsu or other healing practice.

The Self Care course is self-contained but it is also a pre-requisite for Modules One and Two.

Because the environment has signaled that it cannot wait any longer for us to wake up. In Bill McKibben’s words: “We are running out of time. But that doesn’t depress me. I am more excited now than I have ever been. Now we know what we need to do.”
