    This 5 day intensive PBSP training with PBSP Trainer and USPBSPA President Jim Amundsen, PhD, is taking place on the unique and beautiful shores of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota.  This event will not be suited for complete beginners in the PBSP method (some prior training in PBSP is encouraged).  The number of participants is limited to 10.  The north shore of Lake Superior is a very popular tourist area with relatively expensive housing that goes fast.   The session will be meeting in a resort called the Lutsen Sea Villas.  To save money, you can contact Jim directly (jamundsen70@gmail.com) who will help organize people who want to share a condo (the Sea Villas are a collection of condos: see Odysseyresorts.com).  A one bedroom condo, which can easily sleep 4 people, goes for $250 per night.

    This Somatic Re-Storying retreat will be a highly experiential, narrative-changing healing space where we address our family- and culture-of-origin wounds in a small group environment with other 2SLGBTQIA+ folx. During our time together we will engage in somatic and embodiment exercises to prepare our bodies, hearts and nervous systems to engage in  Structures, a powerful modality for healing and transforming the wounds and stories we carry.  Structures are born out of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) and I continue to evolve this work as I have spent years studying and practicing with Bessel van der Kolk, Licia Sky, Gus Kaufman and Jim Amundsen. I often incorporate parts work, a variety of somatic practices and other modalities to allow the Structures work to be increasingly expansive to meet the needs of individuals and groups, and to tend to cultural uniqueness.

    This practice is a highly collaborative, deeply experiential, profoundly transformative and innovative approach to healing relationship patterns and embodied narratives that no longer serve us.

    In this workshop we will recreate in three dimensional space a representation of something we would like to heal. We do this in order to step into the deep longings and hidden wounds of our inner child/ren and then re-imagine new possibilities that become somatically imprinted with the help of group members and a highly experienced facilitator.
